The awards season is in full steam with Nomadland, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, and The Trial of the Chicago 7 as obvious front-runners, but will any of these movies emerge victorious come Oscar night? Several promising projects are yet to come out before the eligibility period is over, and these three could cause a major upset.

Malcolm & Marie

When it comes to the acting categories, the Oscar voters have a tendency to reward emotional and raw performances in realistic romance dramas. That perfectly describes the upcoming Netflix original Malcolm & Marie, starring John David Washington and Zendaya.

Judas and the Black Messiah

Set to premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, this true story of petty criminal William O’Neal who agrees to infiltrate the Black Panther Party on behalf of the FBI seems like true Oscar gold. We also have high expectations of its cast, which includes Daniel Kaluuya and Lakeith Stanfield.

The United States vs. Billie Holiday

The race for the best actress is pretty crowded right now, but several major front-runners already have an Oscar under their belt. The Academy voters have a tendency of giving this award to fresh new faces, such as Zendaya and Vanessa Kirby, but could Andra Day upset them all with her portrayal of Billie Holiday?

We couldn’t help but notice all the gold dresses we saw during the award season this year. The metallic shade made its way onto the red carpet at the BAFTAs, Oscars, the SAG Awards, and many film premieres. These celebrities had a different take on the gold trend, and we love all of these dresses.

Zoë Kravitz

The High Fidelity star shun bright in this gold sequin form-fitting Saint Laurent gown. The red accents she paired it with perfectly offset the metallic shade.

Yara Shahidi

The Grown-ish actress stole the show at the Milan Fashion week in this mini gold Gucci dress with knee-high black boots.

Natalia Dyer

Another Saint Laurent gold dress makes this list with Dyer’s textured v-neck gown. The Stranger Things star wore this show-stopping number to the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Florence Pugh

Is there a better color to wear to the Oscars than gold? Pugh definitely stood out on the red carpet in this black-and-gold Louis Vuitton gown.

Karen Gillan

Gillan’s Rochas slip dress played off of the light perfectly, making it the perfect dress for photographs at The Call of the Wild premiere. She finished off the look with a classic red lip.
