3 Movies To Watch At The Oscars on moviegoers and releases patterns.

It's hard to talk about movies now without mentioning Covid. The virus has had a significant impact on moviegoers and releases patterns.

But as always in show business, awards shows have to take some form, and there are plenty of excellent films out there competing for Oscars this year.

Here are 15 films to watch on Oscar night in late March. What are you talking about? - Sir Kenneth Branagh's semi-autobiographical film is about raising a boy in Belfast.

For who? - Jude Hill, Jamie Dornan, Ciaran Hinds, Catriona Balf. What are the chances of getting an Oscar? - Overall strong with nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Screenplay and Acting, and Best Song for Van Morrison's Tune Down To Joy.

Sir Kenneth could also be the first nominated in seven different categories in his career. He already has directors, actors, supporting actors, adapted scripts, and outright nominations. So if he gets nominations for Best Picture and Original Screenplay for Belfast, he'll be setting new records (not counting Walt Disney, who was nominated at a time when the rules were slightly different).

Where can I see it - It will be in theaters on February 22nd.

2. West Side Story

What are you talking about? - This is a new version of Steven Spielberg's classic about rival New York street gangs and the love story of Tony and Maria.

For who? -Rachel Zegler, Ansel Elgort.

What are the chances of getting an Oscar? - She had to sing and dance on her way to multiple big nominations for best picture, director for Spielberg, and actress for the relatively young Rachel Zegler. Additionally, 90-year-old Rita Moreno, who was named Best Supporting Actress in 1961 original, is likely to receive the award again for the role of a new character named Valentina.

3. Dog power

What are you talking about? "This is a dark west that sees a farm brutally torturing his brother's new wife and son."

For who? - Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plamens, Cody Smith-McPhee,

What are the chances of getting an Oscar? - One of the top-rated films of the year, it seems, is sure to win nominations for Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay, and Acting. Only seven women have been nominated for Best Director. Still, Jane Campion of The Power of Dog is likely the first woman to be nominated twice - her first nomination was in 1993 for piano.

Where can I see it - It hit theaters in November and is now on Netflix.
