15 Movies To Watch Out For This Oscar Season

By Jack Pooley /

9. Still Alice

The Buzz: Coming out of nowhere at the Toronto Film Festival, Still Alice follows Dr. Alice Howland (Julianne Moore), who learns that she's suffering with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, and has to subsequently try and cope alongside her family. Though reviews suggest this is another movie anchored by a heavyweight performance, they credited almost the entire supporting cast (including Kristen Stewart, Alec Baldwin and Kate Bosworth) as well. Oscar Predictions: With its minimalist premise, there's little Oscar hope for the movie beyond Moore's performance, which will almost certainly earn the actress her fifth nod. She's certainly the frontrunner to win at the moment, though with so much still not screened to awards voters, something could easily snatch it away from her. Release Date: TBA
