The State Of The Race – Pete Hammond’s Latest Predictions: “It’s Anybody’s Ballgame”
Pete Hammond Awards Predictions: "It's Anybody's Ballgame"
In what is increasingly looking like an indie-centric year, one indie-turned-studio release to watch is Paramount’s riveting thriller September 5, which chronicles the horrific 1972 Munich Olympics terrorist attack from the point of view of the ABC Sports broadcast crew that suddenly found themselves covering a global event. Amazon/MGM Studios could also have a pair of contenders, with yet another Guadagnino entry from earlier in the year, the sexy and entertaining Challengers, and the adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s book Nickel Boys, from writer-directorRaMell Ross, which employs a stylistic POV camera approach that pleased critics but divided Oscar voters I spoke to after its Telluride debut. I’m rooting for recognition finally for Hugh Grant in a wild turn in the A24 horror film, Heretic; Sebastian Stan as the young Donald Trump in The Apprentice; Andrew Garfield in We Live in Time; Paul Mescal in Gladiator II; Adrien Brody in The Brutalist;a way-overdue Ralph Fiennes in Conclave; Harris Dickinson in Babygirl; Jude Law in The Order; and maybe a couple of deserving longshots, including Keith Kupferer in Sundance hit, Ghostlight, and an astonishing tap dancing Jeremy Piven in the upcoming indie The Performance.
