Want to impress other guests of the young Oscar party this weekend? We just have something.
If you're a sci-fi nerd who lives and breathes that superhero, space-adventure, life feature character, 2019 awards season leaving something to be desired. Well, most critics would agree that 2019 was a very good year for general films, and yes movie DC DC is among the most popular movies in the pack, but still. It's not like in recent years when fantasy fantasy fantasy, sci-fi fantasy is the same The shape of the water either Black Panther they were in the mix.
So how do you continue to stand for that side? Below, we've divided the nominees into several main categories and given you facts, gossip, connections, and more you may know, but you probably didn't, link this year's Oscar nominees with the rest of the world sci-fi, fantasy, and beyond.
Great picture
Ford v Ferrari
Starring Christian Bale, Batman of Christopher Nolan & # 39; s trilogy. That should be the most obvious thing. (Although Bale, surprisingly enough, wasn't nominated for an acting award this year.) His partner, Matt Damon, has nothing however local love, with stars in both The Martians as well as Interstellar. But director James Mangold did not do one two Wolverine Movies: Wolverine and Logan. And if you want to go back, Mangold was one of the writers in the Disney & # 39; s 1988 animated film, Oliver & Company.
An Irishman
There are two major sci-fi things to come An Irishman. The first: it's a movie that got everything Martin Scorsese vs Marvel debate about. But it also uses aging technology in a much more important way than that used in similar comic book movies Iron Man 3 either The man.
Jojo Rabbit
Despite it Great story of war and loss, Jojo Rabbit it also explodes with sci-fi roots and myths. Taika Waititi, of course, was corrected What We Do in Shadows and Thor: Ragnarok before the film, and we followed it up by making the finale Counterfeit, as well as playing the most fun hunter IG-11. Bridesmaids Black Widow himself, Scarlet Johansson, and Sam Rockwell got his big break Galaxy demand before finally starting to star in the middle Iron Man 2.
Joker
Duh. This is a comic book movie one in a while, though not exactly a comic book movie. Besides, Zazie Beetz has played, played again, and never played again, Domino in Deadpool Franchise; Brett Cullen, who plays Thomas Wayne, played for the conference Methods of Black Growth;
Young Women
Young Women It's very complicated but sci-fi connections exist. Most excitingly, team goalkeeper Timothée Chalamet will be playing Paul Atreides, the lead new modification of Dune. So if you've never seen Chalamet before, here's a good chance. Also, my younger sister Florence Pugh (star Midsommar) we'll play another little sister this year, at Marvel & # 39; s Black Widow.
The Story of Marriage
It's Kylo Ren vs Black Widow and Deputy Admiral Holdo support. Come on now!
1917
Structure of 1917 it has something in common Avengers: Endgame. Both are about finding Doctor Strange. That is, the main character of the film he is looking for is played by Benedict Cumberbatch. In the way they met Shazam villain Mark Strong. Also, one of its stars, Dean-Charles Chapman Tommen Baratheon at Game of Thrones.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Of course, Margot producer Robbie is perhaps best known for playing DC villain Harley Quinn — and one of the most well-known, and controversial, shows in the comic book set, The Green Hornet.
The lungs
Before Bong Joon-ho got the official announcement with The lungs, not one, not two, but three the best sci-fi films. There were environmentalists Okja, Chris Evans' hard drive Snow ice, and the magnificent saga of the beast Presenter. Don't let anyone say that sci-fi is not the way to amazing success.
Lead the character
Antonio Banderas, Pain and fame
Antonio Banderas' work is so varied you can find him working in almost every genre. He was Zorro, Pusss in Boots, he was inside Spy children, music, video game settings, you name it. But none of this—none of this-Tell the fact that he became a meme thanks to the thanks from the movie The killer. (That is, if you don't believe it, it was written by the Wachowskis and directed by Richard Donner of Goonies and Superman fame.)
Leon DiCaprio, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
For most of his career, Leonardo DiCaprio has kept things in order. Of course, he spoiled people's ideas on Christopher Nolan & # 39; s Initiation but his biggest geek story should have been reported to be one of the finalists to play Anakin Skywalker in Attack Of The Clones, but lost to Hayden Christensen. Think about that.
Adam Driver, The Story of Marriage
Also, Driving by Kylo Ren, that's the easy part. But you knew outside of her Oscar-nominated role The Story of Marriage and The rise of the Skywalker, in 2019 he also starred in a zombie script with Bill Murray? The truth. Here is our review The Dead Are Not Dead:
Joaquin Phoenix, Joker
Before becoming a Joker, Joaquin Phoenix almost played another comic book character, Doctor Strange. Rumor was allegedly offered a role in the Marvel Studios film but eventually dropped it. But you're a stranger to sci-fi films either. At 12, he became a star Space Camp, in time Symptoms and The village and M. Shyamalan Night – with Spike Jonze & # 39; s Her, in which he fell in love with the voice of Scarlet Johansson.
Jonathan Pryce, Two popes
Jonathan Pryce's work is long and mysterious. Brazil come to mind. The Pirates of the Caribbean and James Bond franchises. He also played with the President in between G.I. Joe: Cobra climbing. But one of the more remarkable ones to remember is his role as Mr. Black in 1983 Something Bad About This Way Is Coming and Right Ordinary Horatio Jackson in 1988 The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Don't forget that he was evil High adulteration inside Game of Thrones and. Shame. Shame.
Character Leader
Cynthia Erivo, Harriet
Cynthia Erivo is still too young for her career, but "we can do her six Degrees" a bit. One of his biggest cracking roles was in the middle Bad Times in El Royale was swimming in royal sci-fi (Chris Hemsworth, Jeff Bridges, etc.). He was cast in that film by Drew Goddard, who wrote it Cloverfield and directed Cupboard in the Forest and Daredevil It's a Netflix show, and it worked on, but never did, both X-Force and The Sixth Sense movies. However, Erivo is currently installing a version of Stephen King's HBO adaptation, Exterior which is our own Cheryl Eddy review it properly.
Scarlett Johansson, The Story of Marriage
Once again, Scarlett Johansson is so well known for playing Black Widow that the connection here is obvious. But, in addition, he was also present in two "ghost" movies that didn't feature ghosts: Ghost in the Shelf and Ghost Earth. He revealed that his fancy AI Joaquin Phoenix was dating Her, and starred in a creepy indie alien film called Under the skin which is probably getting a TV adaptation soon. Don't forget that you also have a star on the side Obi-Wan himself, Ewan McGregor, at Island.
Saoirse Ronan, Young Women
Without playing deadly Hanna and a ghost inside Lovely Bones, Sairse Ronan's coldest claim to sci-fi fame is reportedly checking out Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. For a while, he was again rumors about the role of Scarlet Witch finally to Elizabeth Olsen.
Charlize Theron, Bombshell
Charlie Theron is already the goddess of sci-fi legends playing Furiosa in Mad Mad: Fury Road. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Another fun fact is that in the summer of 2008 he was in another great comic book movie. Not at all The iron man. Not at all The Black Knight. Hancock, starring Will Smith. From there, the list goes on: Powerful Joe Young, Snow White and The Huntsman, Devil's Attorney, Æon Flux, Addams family, Orville …Theron is a sci-fi king.
Renee Zellweger, Judy
When Renee Zellweger first entered the business, she appeared in small roles in a bunch of big movies (Surprising and Confusing, State Records, Reality Bites) but had a role in 1995 & # 39; s Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation. He has also lent his voice to a few animated films like Monsters and aliens and Movie Movie.
English Support
Tom Hanks, Good Day to Neighbors
Tom Hanks has done all that and it includes fant-fi fiction. Some of his first great songs, like Large and Splash, they were in the genre and, of course, is Woody's voice in toy Story movies. But the two fun, little under-the-radar interactions (awkward if it's Mr. Tom Hanks) that he starred in in a novel adaptation of the novel Road to Savings
Anthony Hopkins, Two popes
Also, Anthony Hopkins is one of the greatest players of all time. This supporting Actor category is probably the best. But while his portrayal of Hannibal the Cannibal is purely original, he sometimes forgets that Hopkins is Odin Thor movies. That he meets Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder as Van Helsing Bram Stroker Dracula. Recently, you played Westworld starter on Westworld.
Al Pacino, An Irishman
We all know Pacino's difficult roles. You’re Al Frickin Pacino for crying so much. That is why it is still remembered that Warren Beatty made him play the bad guy Big Boy Caprice in the 1990s & # 39; s Dick Tracy.
Joe Pesci, An Irishman
Joe Pesci had a pretty good career in casting, especially if his intention was not to be in any of the sci-fi movies. With a slight variation of the role in Tales from the Crypt and Michael Jackson & # 39; s Moonwalker, Pesci almost completely avoided deep-genre movies throughout his career so we turn to this. Our favorite piece of Pesci gossip is that one year it does not release Goodfellas, where she won an Oscar, she also starred Home alone. Talk about a one-two punch.
Brad Pitt, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Apparently, Brad Pitt has done a lot of sci-fi. He even did last year, Ad Astra. 12 monkeys, War Club, Benjamin Button, you know them all. If you're looking for something a little shy, you should check out the film company Pitt, Plan B, has produced. Movies like Okja (in The lungs Director Bong Joon-ho), Go die, and TV shows like Netflix OA and Fox & # 39; s Lego Masters. You didn't think of those as Brad Pitt projects, did you?
Character Support
Kathy Bates following Richard Jewell
Bates has already won an Oscar for a movie of its kind, starring as Annie Wilkes in adaptation of Stephen King & # 39; s Grief, so it's hard to get rid of that. But the fact is that he was the voice of Hester, Lee Hornsby & # 39; s Daemon, in 2007 The Golden Compass The movie is very strong. Not to mention his roles Dick Tracy (which is already full of Oscar winners) and many seasons of The American Horror Story.
Laura Dern, The Story of Marriage
Deputy Admiral Holdo? Of course. Ellie Sadler? Obviously. More David Lynch movies? Hell yeah. But, you knew Dern was coming back to him Jurassic roots the following summer Jurassic Earth 3? The truth.
Scarlett Johansson, Jojo Rabbit
Oh ScarJo, you're gone.
Florence Pugh, “Little Women”
Ideally, what's coming Black Widow the film stars not one but two 2020 nominees. Along with Johansson, there is also Pugh, who had an amazing 2019 with the underdogs Midsommer and a combat biopic Fighting for My Family.
Margot Robbie, “Bombshell”
He starred in the biggest movie of the weekend as a popular book character. Harley Freakin & # 39; Quinn! And he will continue to be Harley Freakin & # 39; Quinn in the future Group Suicide respectively. She was with Jane in the middle Tarzan Myth, Make a word to Peter Rabbi movies, and will soon be playing Barbie.
Academy Award-winning Sunday night on ABC.
