Nobody appreciates a stalker in real life, but films about stalkers are another story altogether. From the finely-tuned suspense to the shocking displays of aggression, films about stalkers can provide audiences with excitement and tales of caution. Especially when the stalker in question is played by a beloved actor or a star typically known for playing dashing heroes. With the chilling drama “Greta” set for release this week, we decided to relocate our family and hide all our pets (especially rabbits), and assemble the creepiest cases of obsession ever put to film. Here are Next Best Picture’s Top Stalker Movies.

The Next Best Picture Podcast: Episode 131 - Our Full Detailed Reaction To The 91st Academy Awards2/26/2019 
By Matt Neglia
As promised after last night's instant reactions to the 91st Academy Awards, we are back to deliver our full detailed thoughts on the evening that gave us wins for "Black Panther," "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Green Book" & more! Will Mavity, Michael Schwartz, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer & myself dish out all of the details on Hollywood's biggest night. We also receive help from InSession Film's Ryan McQuade. We were supposed to announce our own awards for 2018, the NBP Film Awards at the end of the episode, followed by an announcement pertaining to the off season. However, this episode turned out to be the longest in NBP history and we have decided to push those two bits to next week's episode. For now, Awards Season is over and all that's left are the questions and the discussion. Give us a listen to hear it all. Thank you so much for listening.

The last few weeks leading up to the 91st Academy Awards ceremony were full of sturm und drang. Seemingly every announcement made about the telecast was walked back within a matter of days, from Kevin Hart hosting to presenting certain awards during the commercial breaks. All the decisions were announced by the AMPAS Board of Governors with one goal in mind: Getting a larger audience for Disney-owned ABC, which broadcasts the ceremony. Now that the ceremony has finally aired, how did producers Donna Gigliotti and Glenn Weiss do?

Well folks, the 91st Academy Awards are officially behind us. Hearts were broke and moments of joy were shared by millions all over the world. Stats were also broken and we didn't have a host to guide us through the evening's many ups and downs but it turns out we didn't really need one. For this special quick recording, Michael Schwartz, Jacey Aldredge, Josh Parham, Cody Dericks and myself give you our instant reactions to the 2019 Academy Awards moments after they went off the air. We will have a more detailed breakdown of the evening tomorrow night when we release Episode 131. Thank you so much for listening.

In the 91 year history of the Academy Awards, only three films have succeeded in winning Best Picture in isolation, without any additional Oscars to its name. To find them you need to look a long way back in the archives. Could the same thing happen tomorrow night? In the age of the preferential ballot and with this particular awards season being as unpredictable as ever, perhaps it is time that we should expect the unexpected.

For this week's main podcast review, Jacey Aldredge, Dan Bayer, Cody Derricks, Tom O'Brien & myself review the third (and final?) film in the "How To Train Your Dragon" series titled "How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World."

After looking at the acting categories and the categories I personally deem to be locks for the 91st Academy Awards, we now come to the final remaining categories. These are the categories which have been giving me sleepless nights these past few days, especially when the guilds decided to truly go their own way this year and many of the precursors we rely on to tell us about these categories rewarded films which didn't end up receiving Oscar nominations in the end anyway. For these articles, I typically tend to rely on stats with a hint of gut instinct thrown in there. Today, I'm going to mostly be relying on my gut because for these categories, stats have truly failed us this year....or have they? You may have heard me deliver my final Oscar predictions on Episode 130 of the podcast but after some thoughtful reflection and going through these one more time, I can honestly say that after this post goes up, these will be my final locked in Oscar predictions for the 91st Academy Awards. 
By Josh Williams
The short film categories are always difficult to predict. Each short film is filled with a tremendous amount of heart and soul, they're easy to digest, and short films often pack a heavy punch in a small period of time. But it's always hard to guess just which one of these passion projects the Academy will go for. You all read Liam Hefferman's piece on the Live Action Short Films so here is my breakdown of the Documentary Short Films!

As this divisive and often headache-inducing awards season comes to a close, a recurring phrase uttered all year among the team at Next Best Picture was “if I voted for the Oscars…” So, I decided to see what would happen not only if the Next Best Picture staff were all Oscar voters, but if we were the only Oscar voters. I polled our writers, and even did the famously-complicated preferential-style tally for Best Picture, just like the Academy. I now present the Academy Awards if they were decided exclusively by our team!

Director Robert Rodriguez is back in cinemas with a script co-written by James Cameron for "Alita: Battle Angel." Starring Rosa Salazar, Mahershala Ali, Christoph Waltz & Jennifer Connelly, this manga adaptation has a lot of potential to not just entertain with its dazzling special effects but to also set up sequels for the future due to its world building. Does it accomplish any of this? Kt Schaefer joins me to talk about this and many more aspects from Rodriguez's latest. Thank you so much for listening.
