From Barry Jenkin’s touching, If Beale Street Could Talk, to Alfonso Cuaron’s personal love letter to Mexico in Roma, films of all ranges are considered for the major category for Best Picture this year. My personal favorite films are Spike lee’s masterpiece BlacKkKlansman and Damien Chazelle’s incredible biopic, First Man, about America’s own Neil Armstrong; however, knowing the Academy and the critic’s top choice, it seems that Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther is a trending top contender along with Bradley Cooper’s A Star is Born (both films with loads of box office success). Other contenders in mind are Green Book by Peter Farrelly and Vice by Adam McKay.
