After a surprising number of high quality, entertaining films for the first two quarters of the year, it would seem Oscar season has a lot of expectations to live up to. Much of that will be taken care of by a trio of films that could be among the top box office juggernauts of the year, Interstellar, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. There are others that could be quite good and that’s just from a blockbuster perspective.
A lot of the year-end Oscar contenders, which this season tends to represent more than either of the others, don’t seem to be as evident this time around, but that could just be because schedules are still being finalized and what’s listed here is just the tip of the iceberg. We’ll find out more as November and December approach, the two biggest month for Oscar-competing entries.
To introduce you to the upcoming films, there will be two preview articles every month and this introduction every four months. The Season Preview article will focus on one of three seasons Spring Season (January through April), Tentpole Season (May through August) and Oscar Season (September through December). In these introductory articles, I will give you the current release schedule for the specified season, which may change as the release dates get closer.
