10 Upcoming Movies That Are Already Getting Oscar Buzz

Battle of the Sexes just feels like one of those movies that's coming along at exactly the right time. It's the real life story of that one time in the early 1970s when middle-aged tennis player Bobby Riggs made public statements about how the female tennis game is inferior and even in his 50s, he could beat any of the current crop of professional women tennis players.

Billie Jean King took him up on the offer, and what followed was a nationally televised showdown. It stars Emma Stone and Steve Carrell, two immensely well-liked actors at the moment, particularly Stone, who is riding high on a wave of good will after her Best Actress win this year for La La Land.

And if you could have picked the perfect year for an inherently feminist sports film to come out, it would probably be 2017, when millions have turned out, marching in the streets around the world in an unprecedented display of support for women's rights.
