‘The Brutalist’ drops next month and looks like grand Oscar bait on the surface, but I wouldn’t call it that. Brady’s been working on it for a while now as his passion project.
‘Queer’ is, from what I’ve heard, too weird to even be in consideration for the Oscars. The same goes for ‘Nightbytch’ with Amy Adams. Guadagnino has a better chance of ‘Challengers’ seeing some recognition on that stage.
‘Here’, ‘Saturday Night’, and ‘Blitz’ are the biggest Oscar bait flicks as of late that immediately come to mind.
