Oscars 2017: 20 Predicted Best Film Nominees Ranked Worst To Best

20. Gold

Matthew McConaughey might be legitimately A-list gold now, but even he can't really save Gold from being something of a bore. He's now getting to the point where his transformations for roles are arguably overshadowing the performances themselves (something Daniel Day Lewis would never have allowed), and while his disguise is admirable, it's also a little too distracting.

This apparently true story - which is being priced at an outsider price of 100/1 with a couple of industry bookmakers - simply doesn't match up with the majority of his recent work. It's disjointed and suffers from tonal mix-ups that suggest it's as unsure of its identity as McConaughey is of his character's.

Sure there are moments to enjoy, and when McConaughey and co-star Oscar Ramirez are in full flow they're charming and entertaining - but it seems to be trying too hard to be another verbose, swaggering drama with a strong politicised underbelly (in the vein of Wolf Of Wall Street and The Big Short). And it's never all that successful.
