Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
David Heyman | Shannon McIntosh | Quentin Tarantino
In Los Angeles in 1969, aging TV star Rick Dalton and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth struggle to make their way around an industry and a city they hardly recognize anymore.
POSSIBLE
Heading into the awards season this year, it felt like “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” might end up being the film to beat. However, then “1917” and “Parasite” came on the scene and started winning everything. Now, “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” is still apart of the Big Three, remaining in the conversation, but being overshadowed by those other two films, which have been sweeping the season thus far. I personally would not count on “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” winning, but it could take some other awards. Right now, Brad Pitt is the front-runner for Best Actor in a Supporting Role as is the Production Design team behind the film. I think Quentin even has a very good shot of winning Best Original Screenplay because the Academy loves his writing and it’s a great script.
