“The Shape of Water,” the latest fantasy film from Guillermo Del Toro (“Pan’s Labyrinth,” “Crimson Peak”), is making its rounds through the Fall festival circuit, and it sounds to be a major player in this year’s Oscar race. The first trailer hit the web a few weeks ago, cueing audiences into another warped romance that one can only expect from Del Toro. Will Del Toro join his fellow “Amigos” Alfonso Cuarón and Alejandro González Iñárritu and jump into the Oscar race this Fall? Click beyond the jump to see the first reactions to “The Shape of Water.”

The Venice Film Festival has kicked off our 2017 awards season properly and Alexander Payne’s “Downsizing” is out of the gate first. The film, starring Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig and Christoph Waltz, looks to be the most fantastical project we have seen from the “Sideways” filmmaker. “Downsizing” follows a family as they adopt a promising new lifestyle, save money and the planet by shrinking and living in a smaller world. Click beyond the jump to see the teaser trailer and first reactions to “Downsizing.”

In a refreshing change of pace, Ed Skrein ("Deadpool," "Game of Thrones") has dropped out of the upcoming "Hellboy' reboot after facing backlash that his role would be whitewashed. He had recently been cast as a Japanese-American character, although Skrein himself is white. The Next Best Series Podcast: "Game Of Thrones" Season 7 Episode 7 - "The Dragon And The Wolf"8/29/2017

This is it. It's the last episode of "Game Of Thrones" we will receive until at least a year (And some say even 2019). Will Mavity and I are back to review the season finale of Season 7 titled "The Dragon And The Wolf" and it is a jam packed episode (The longest episode of the series at 80 minutes long) so there is a TON to unpack and speculate on as we head into the final season. "The Dragon And The Wolf" was written by David Benioff & D.B. Weiss and directed by Jeremy Podeswa. Remember that Next Best Series is a podcast exclusive and is a part of Next Best Picture. With your feedback and support, we will look into expanding this area of the site come next year.

With no significant new releases, the Mayweather-McGregor fight, a hurricane rocking the south, plus the Season 7 Game Of Thrones finale over the weekend, the U.S. Box Office ended up taking a major hit. The top twelve finishers earned a combined $49 million, marking it as the worst weekend in 16 years, according to Box Office Mojo. Click below to read more about this new development.

The summer movie season is always an exciting one. Cinephiles typically receive a small dose of every type of film that there is over the three month period from June to August. From a continuation in their favorite franchises to the "hot out of the festivals" indie film, there is something special about films in the summertime. And since 2017's summer is coming to close, we here at Next Best Picture have decided to take a look through some of the films that were released this summer.

So remember when the nominations for the 88th Academy Awards were being announced and they arrived at the Best Makeup and Hairstyling section? Guillermo Del Toro read the nominations and they were eventual winner “Mad Max: Fury Road,” the chapped lips documentary “The Revenant,” and (drum roll please) “The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared.” Well if you were confused by how an obscure Swedish film was able to break into the Oscar race, CBS Films and Will Ferrell hope to answer that question. Click beyond the jump to read about the American adaptation of “The 100-Year-Old Man.”

After making a name in Will Ferrell comedies, Adam McKay burst onto the Oscar scene with 2015’s “The Big Short.” The “Anchorman” director picked up a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination for the Wall Street drama and now he is moving on to what is just as volatile political subject as the 2008 Financial Crisis: Vice President Dick Cheney. With Christian Bale set to start and the supporting cast filling in, “Backseat” is taking shape as one of 2018’s most anticipated. Click beyond the jump to read more about “Backseat.”

Every year, come the end of December, Oscar season gets a few last minute entries trying to shake up the race. Some are more successful than others. Just last year we saw "Hidden Figures" released on Christmas Day, which snagged multiple nominations including Best Picture. Ben Affleck attempted this as well with "Live By Night," with a limited release in December. He didn't see any nominations though, and received the worst reviews of his directing career. This year, three legends are all racing to the finish line. Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, and Ridley Scott all began filming movies earlier this year, and all plan to rush them to release for awards season.

Will Mavity and I are back to review an episode of Game Of Thrones which proved to be even more divisive than the week before despite its epic action, moments and extended running time. The penultimate episode of Season 7 is titled "Beyond The Wall." It was written by David Benioff & D.B. Weiss and was directed by Alan Taylor.
