Arrived today from The Weinstein Company.

Woman in Gold

Stars: Helen Mirren, Ryan Reynolds, Daniel Bruhl, Katie Holmes, Tatiana Maslany, Max Irons, Charles Dance, Antje Traue, Elizabeth McGovern, Jonathan Pryce, Frances Fisher, Moritz Bleibtreu, Tom Schilling, Allan Corduner, Henry Goodman, Justus von Dohnanyl
Director: Simon Curtis
Premise: From IMDb: “Maria Altmann, an octogenarian Jewish refugee, takes on the Austrian government to recover artwork she believes rightfully belongs to her family.”
Oscar Chances: Uncertain: It released so early in the year that it’s been largely forgotten. Of course, if Harvey Weinstein is trotting it out now, he’s not too keen on the rest of his stable of releases this year. I don’t think it has much of a shot anywhere outside of Best Actress, but stranger things have happened.
