A Look at New Trailers From Potential Oscar Nominees

Matt Damon in The Martian

Before I dive in, I want to personally apologize for this unexplained absence over the past week. This was caused largely due to personal and health problems that made writing and keeping up with Oscar-worthy news a little difficult. As of this moment, I should be in good enough of a condition to return to sharing my personal opinions and keeping you up to date on the latest happenings. First up, a look at the many trailers that premiered over the past week for films that we may be hearing about a lot over this Oscars season. Speaking as we're starting to enter the season when all of the trailers premiere (see: Suffragette and Bridge of Spies). While this round-up may not have nearly as many hits, we may be looking at a very interesting season ahead.

Will "Ain't Them Bodies Saints" Get the Talented Young Actors Some Nominations?

Rooney Mara

With summer winding down and the Oscar Buzz season slightly on the horizon, we have quite a season to look forward to. One of the possibly more wild predictions would be surrounding director David Lowery's Ain't Them Bodies Saints, which based on the trailer would suggest that it is yet another version of a Terrence Malick film, if just because of the sweeping imagery and emphasis on nature. Still, one thing makes this particular film an intriguing one, and it is the leads, who may not be household names yet, but each have been nominated before. Is it possible that this film can become one of the underdog success stories at the ceremony next year?
