\u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d was considered by awards-watchers<\/a> to be the lead contender for awards. That film, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio at his most offhandedly brilliant as a hapless revolutionary bumbling into nightmarish political machinations, all while surrounded by fabulous, powerful and troubled women, is currently available for streaming at movie-theater ticket prices. It will return to select IMAX theaters on December 11th for a week; few tickets remain.<\/p>\n The gorgeous Joachim Trier film \u201cSentimental Value<\/a>,\u201d which received multiple nominations, tracks the relationship between a distressed, easily panicked actress and her callous film director father \u2014 plus the life of their family\u2019s house as well. In addition to an unbelievable performance by Renate Reinsve in the lead role, the film also has Elle Fanning absolutely nailing the role of an American actress pushed to the levels of her comfort and talent.<\/p>\n It seems like a lifetime ago, but \u201cSinners<\/a>\u201d was released just back in April and voters remembered its cultural moment and box office success. The Ryan Coogler Jim-Crow-plus-vampires hit neatly mashed up the horrors of the supernatural with the horrors of the very human.<\/p>\n \u201cHamnet\u201d and \u201cWicked: For Good<\/a>,\u201d representing polar opposites of the year in film, also had strong showings.<\/p>\n Parents were unsurprised by nominations for \u201cKPop Demon Hunters,\u201d the soundtrack of their lives since the mega-hit was released on Netflix just (can you believe it!) back in June.<\/p>\n There was a very important nomination for the very avatar of our age of apprehension: the terrifying clown-witch visage of Aunt Gladys in \u201cWeapons.\u201d<\/p>\n (\u201cOne Battle,\u201d \u201cWeapons,\u201d and \u201cSinners\u201d are produced, co-produced and\/or distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, which currently shares a parent company with CNN<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
