20 Movies Which Could Win Oscars In 2022

20. The French Dispatch

Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch has been completed for a good while, having originally been intended to premiere at Cannes last May before being delayed for obvious reasons.

And given the awards-friendly nature of Anderson's movies, there's little need to doubt the high probability his latest star-studded oddball dramedy will score itself at least a few nods.

Believe it or not, Anderson hasn't ever won an Oscar despite being nominated seven times for his writing, directing, and producing work.

Best Original Screenplay is naturally the safest bet for Anderson here - he's been nominated three times before - and Academy voters may well feel that he's long overdue the gong.

Crafts categories are also probable, especially Best Production Design, Costume Design, Cinematography, Makeup and Hairstyling, and Film Editing.

The ensemble-driven nature of Anderson's films generally prevent actors from being singled out for awards, but if it adds up to an intoxicating mix on the level of The Grand Budapest Hotel, The French Dispatch could easily end up a Best Picture nominee.
