8 Summer 2015 Films That Could Win Oscars

By Thomas Blakey /

8. Furious 7

Universal
What It Could Win: Best Original Song To say Furious 7 is an Oscar worthy film really is stretching it (so far if it was a resilient Stretch Armstrong it would still rip in two) €“ the franchise itself could well have been long gone if it wasn€™t for the inclusion of Dwayne Johnson in the series€™ fifth outing. The film is all style and no substance, but with Paul Walker€™s passing still fresh in everyone€™s memory a nomination for Best Original Song could well be on the cards. See You Again by Wiz Khalifa & Charlie Puth is a touching (and very popular) tribute to Paul and one the Academy will no doubt take into consideration as one final farewell to the actor. Dark Horse Nominations: Best Visual Effects Outside of Best Original Song, there isn€™t any category aside from Visual Effects Furious 7 could realistically aim for. As mentioned earlier, the series is all style over substance even if the special effects in the film are €“ and always have been €“ superb, but, when comparing it to the likes of other films featured on this list, they don€™t stand much of a chance.
