The Oscar season will be taking place later than usual next year, but some of the main contenders are already here or just around the corner. Netflix is the studio behind many of them, and here are movies you can watch on this streaming platform before 2020 is over.
The Trial of the Chicago 7
Aaron Sorkin’s latest directorial effort follows the trial against a group of anti-Vietnam War protesters during the late 60s, and it’s just the kind of story that Oscar voters like to reward.
Mank
Speaking of stories that are always a huge hit with Oscar voters, David Fincher’s behind-the-scenes tale of the making of Citizen Kane has all the ingredients needed to win the race.
Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom
The adaptation of August Wilson’s play about the legendary “Mother of Blues” Ma Rainey is expected to be in the running for major acting awards thanks to the amazing performances by Chadwick Boseman and Viola Davis.
Da 5 Bloods
Movies that come out in spring and summer tend to be forgotten by the time Oscars arrive, but Spike Lee’s war drama about the reunion of four veterans and their return to Vietnam is impossible to ignore.
