STX Entertainment is relatively new to the Oscar game, but in Molly’s Game, they might have a contender.

Molly’s Game

Oscar Chances: Potential: Jessica Chastain is a popular actress in Hollywood and could be a contender, as could Idris Elba. While I doubt the film manages many other high profile nominations, the one place I thin it has a fighting chance is Adapted Screenplay for writer and director Aaron Sorkin.
