Oscars 2022: 10 Possible Contenders For Next Year's Ceremony

10. Last Night In Soho

Edgar Wright continues to stray from his cult comedy roots with this psychological horror film. His previous movie Baby Driver felt the most mature and Academy friendly release of his career and that trend seems likely to continue with Last Night in Soho.

Horror films traditionally don't do well at the Oscars, but comedy veterans that turn to horror do, Jordan Peele and Get Out being the most obvious example.

With a leading performance from a currently red hot Anya Taylor-Joy, who is sweeping the TV awards circuit for her work in The Queen's Gambit, Last Night in Soho has a dark horse quality to it. Awards are known to beget more awards, perhaps the Academy won't want to pass up the opportunity to acknowledge Taylor-Joy here.

The film will also feature the final performance of Diana Rigg, it is too early to tell if she will be in enough of the film to qualify as a credible posthumous Supporting Actress threat, but don't count her out at this stage.
