FilmWatch Weekly: 'Nickel Boys' and 'September 5' count on Oscar buzz * Oregon ArtsWatch
Briefly

The 2025 Academy Award nominations have been delayed due to wildfires in Los Angeles, affecting the release plans for certain films. Independent cinemas, limited in screen availability, face challenges as they adapt to last-minute changes in movie scheduling. Two films, Nickel Boys and September 5, are debuting predominantly in suburban multiplexes instead of traditional art-house venues. September 5 portrays the tense events of the 1972 Munich Olympics, showcasing the media's role during the hostage crisis through the perspective of the ABC crew, highlighting its tragic impact and narrative depth.
"Regardless of location (and those locations may well increase in the coming weeks), each of these titles deserves to be seen theatrically and widely."
"September 5 depicts, in nearly real time, the experiences of the ABC Sports television crew covering the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich."
