In the stratosphere of cinephiles, the anticipation for a new David Fincher film is palpable. Unveiled by Netflix before a crowd of film critics and journalists on Thursday night, his 11th feature …

” is both personal and technically proficient. It’s been a decade since Fincher received a nomination for best director for “The Social Network,” a loss that still resonates with many awards enthusiasts today. With “Mank,” he’ll most likely pick up another nomination in the category.

In fairness, older awards voters will devour this take on classic Hollywood, taking in all its gorgeous sets, costumes and cinematic structure. It’s likely to be a favorite of the actors branch, and very well could be a favorite at the SAG Awards for best cast ensemble, many of its players could end up among the nominated five in their respective categories. Gary Oldman, who won his Oscar in 2018 for “Darkest Hour,” is just as effortless in his portrayal as Herman J.

The meticulous details place this film as the clear frontrunner in several key categories. Cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt, in his feature narrative debut, could make history as the first person to win an Oscar for best cinematography on his first movie. Oscar-winner Claudio Miranda nearly achieved this feat with “Life of Pi,” following his first work on “Failure to Launch.”

Made to feel like any classic movie of the modern era, the sound team will be most definitively embraced while Emmy nominee Trish Summerville is barreling towards her first Oscar nomination for best costumes.

Love Fincher. It’s a wide open race but with 85% of theatrical films shelved maybe we should call it the Streaming Awards for this year.

He should've won for THE SOCIAL NETWORK.
