Oscar Season Is Slow To Start With Few Contenders In First Half Of 2024


Six months into 2024, there have been few Oscar-worthy movies -- the going has been very slow to say the least.

Critics and early audience reaction was strong, and this prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road looked like it was on course to have a shot at replicating its predecessor’s 10 Oscar nominations (with six wins in crafts categories like Dune). Animated entries like the successful Kung Fu Panda 4 and Netflix’s new TheImaginary(opening in the same streaming slot as the streamer’s last nominee, Nimona)could land a ‘toon nod along with Inside Out 2. Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers, another film that had a release delay due to the actors strike, was highly entertaining and gave star Zendaya a nice showcase, plus a nifty supporting role for Josh O’Connor.
