Last week we talked about some easy Oscar nomination possibilities. And this week we will be talking about some Oscar nominations from this month; films that have already been released and films that everybody is talking about. The first weekend of September (Labor Day Weekend) produced nothing worth talking about (Apollo 18 and Shark Night), both of them with terrible reviews and little money to compensate. However, the weekend after produced two films that have a little potential (one more than the other for sure). The profoundly great review Warrior (Tom Hardy) could get him an Oscar nomination in January. Even thought the film has little money to spare, an Oscar nom. could get people excited. Co-star Joel Edgerton might just be nominated as well, for Supporting Actor, but with Christian Bale winning last year for a some-what similar character type last year (a brother and fighter/a brother and trainer) it's very unlikely he'll win. Nick Nolte is also being praised, so there's another possible nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Director of the film Gavin O'Connor (who also wrote and produced the film) could get a couple nominations for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. While Warrior might be hot in the top categories, Contagion, the other big release that did make a lot of money in comparison, will probably not win any more nominations for its largely talented cast, but it will be kept in mind for Best Makeup, Best Visual Effects, and maybe just a Best Original Screenplay. Then, just last weekend, Drive was released, and oh boy are the critics liking this one! Both Ryan Gosling and Albert Brooks are bound to be noticed after all of their praise, and its much more likely that Ryan Gosling will be nominated then Albert Brooks, but don't cancel him out yet. Next weekend, there is one film that potentially has some nominations. Moneyball with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill is that film. While nobody's really saying its a sure bet nomination for either Pitt or Hill, it's instead a willing bet that it will be nominated for a Best Adapted Screenplay (originally a book) nomination, especially since it was co-written by Aaron Sorkin, who won last year for his brilliant work on The Social Network. And in the final weekend of September, the only film close to any nominations is 50/50. While being aimed at as sort of a dark comedy about Joseph-Gordon Levitt getting cancer and Seth Rogan laughing at him, we might just get two nominations for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor out of these two. Also to note Best Director for Jonathan Levine. That will about do it for September, and October will be just about the same.
