September is here, which means that the fall film festival season is suddenly upon us. Besides the opportunity to see much-anticipated movies from big-name directors, it also means that it’s the official start to the awards season. The fall festival lineups and awards are often seen as the first important precursor for films that can either be the exciting beginning or the unceremonious end to Oscar prospects. But due to unbelievably obvious reasons, the festivals are a little bit different this year. Many films have been pushed back or removed from festivals, and festivals themselves have a different structure entirely. This means that their position as early awards indicators are inevitably going to be looked at in a different light than previous years. To know what to expect, even in this unusual season, let’s take a look at these festivals’ previous track records for being an early predictor of eventual Oscar success.

The coronavirus pandemic may have cancelled Cannes and Telluride but Venice will still take place on September 2nd and run until the 12th where some major world premieres are set to take place (including yesterday's announced "Nomadland"). The full lineup has been announced today and can be seen below. Chloe Zhao's "Nomadland" To Play At Venice, TIFF, NYFF & A Special Telluride Drive-In Screening7/27/2020

In a big move for the fall film festivals (which are working together this year more than ever), Searchlight Pictures Chairmen Nancy Utley and Steve Gilula made an announcement regarding Chloe Zhao's ("The Rider") Oscar-contender "Nomadland" starring Frances McDormand ("Three Billboards Outside Ebbing MIssouri") and David Strathairn ("Good Night, and Good Luck").

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Telluride, Toronto, New York, and Venice Film Festivals announced today in a joint statement that they would be collaborating together this fall. This is unprecedented, as typically, the festivals take place all within the span of six weeks and compete in terms of which festivals get the best film slates.

A few days after the Toronto International Film Festival announced their lineup for this year's festival, now we have received the same announcement from the Venice Film Festival.

After yesterday's reactions for "The Favourite" and "Roma," the 2018 Venice Film Festival came back for a big third day with some greatly anticipated premieres including Bradley Cooper's take on "A Star Is Born," the lost Orson Welles film "The Other Side Of The Wind" and the Coen Brothers' Netflix western anthology titled "The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs." What were the reactions?

Nearly 50 years ago, Neil Armstrong landed on the moon and now Damien Chazelle's much anticipated follow up to his Oscar winning films "Whiplash" and "La La Land" has landed at the 2018 Venice Film Festival and the reactions are strong, signaling that this could be a major Oscar contender for the still unbelievably talented and young Oscar winning director.

The official lineup for the 75th Venice Film Festival has been announced. There are a few world premieres and a few classics being restored as well.
