‘Anora’ Is the Hero Gothams Need


The Gotham Award nominations brought a major scoring surge to the Movies Fantasy League.

Even if it doesn’t end up in the Oscars race, it’ll probably be better than at least half of the eventual Best Picture nominees, so good on the Gothams for giving it two nominations: a Best Feature nod as well as one for Adam Pearson in Best Supporting Performance. Every roster near the top of the standings has a similar base of ingredients: a combo of Venom and Smile 2 for box office, Anora for awards, and Joker: Folie à Deux to remind them that life isn’t always fair and success will be fleeting. Three significant films open in limited release this weekend: Steve McQueen’s Blitz, which has Best Picture ambitions and a performance by Ronan; Here, a Forrest Gump reunion of Robert Zemeckis, Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, and the uncanny valley; and A Real Pain, director Jesse Eisenberg’s Sundance hit that everybody thinks is going to land Culkin his first Oscar nomination (and maybe more).
