This year, there's no Everything Everywhere All at Once or Oppenheimer waiting in the wings. And we can't wait for any of the venerated American masters to save us - there's no Scorsese, no Spielberg, no Tarantino.
Now the industry is reaping the consequences. In 2024, there are simply fewer movies in theaters than there used to be. Fewer summer blockbusters, fewer indie sensations, and, soon, fewer fall awards movies.
Personally, I can't wait for the chaos. I don't remember an awards season with this many unknowns, and for the 2025 Oscars: We're in for the most wide-open awards season in years.
This time, anyone can triumph. Anyone can stumble. You are going to find yourself arguing about a Netflix trans-empowerment musical, a strip-club screwball comedy, a gripping drama about popes, or a three-and-a-half hour biopic of a fictional architect.
