Aaron Sorkin Enters the Race as ‘West Side Story’ Exits – Awards Circuit

The year just keeps getting stranger and even more unpredictable. This week, we saw the exits of several major awards contenders from this extended eligibility year — most notably “” from Steven Spielberg. A large portion of Latinx talent in contention this year came from the 20th Century Studios picture which is disheartening given the overall landscape. Looking at the glass half-full, next year will give the world both Warner Brothers’ “In the Heights” and Spielberg’s musical remake.

Seemingly not important on its face if a consensus acting pick isn’t realized, only 12 films have won best picture without an acting nomination in Academy history. The most recent movies are last year’s “Parasite,” “Slumdog Millionaire” and “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.” While it’s far too early to really start discussing “winning” possibilities, it would be irresponsible to not state that this year, streamers see the opening to nab a statue for best picture of the year.

There are very positive whispers about some contenders that are still forthcoming . Word is we should be preparing for Andra Day’s portrayal of singer Billie Holiday in Lee Daniels’ “The United States vs. Billie Holiday” from Paramount Pictures. Already planned for a Feb. 12, 2021 release, when it begins screening will be key to its success.

Amazing film.

scarjo was 17 in this 💀

And he is!!!

nah imo no actress her age 2day can reach Charlizes level on monster, never!

Damn, that's some high praise

AwardsCircuit Stop with the whole Latinx thing. Where did that even come from?

AwardsCircuit It's the 'Latino' community. Latinx sounds and feels as contrived as it was.

AwardsCircuit what the fuck is 'Latinx' and how do you pronounce it

AwardsCircuit We need to quickly get rid of “Latinx”....how can term be created for a group of people without asking if that group of people even like the term? backwards af

AwardsCircuit Do you know that spanish/portuguese are gendered languages ? LatinX is the most anglo american thing ever , X is a terrible word to use in romance latin speech. Thank you my americans overlords. Signed : Someone from latin América . 😂

AwardsCircuit What is wrong with Latino? Same their name!

AwardsCircuit As a Latino, I’d laugh at you if you called me Latinx

AwardsCircuit I bet the femicide in Mexico would come to a screeching halt, if only they would adopt an X at the end of the word.

AwardsCircuit What film are Oscar eligible this year. I doubt there’s a oscars awards next year.
