3. The Monuments Men
George Clooney directs an all-star cast (including himself, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray, and John Goodman) in a World War II drama about the true story of a group of art historians who attempt to rescue priceless works of art before the Nazis destroy them. If this does not scream Oscars to you, you have no idea how the Academy operates. While there's an outside chance it could be a little too good to be true, this film is very promising on paper. The prime awards season slot shows that Sony has a lot of faith in the project and the cast combined with the war setting should make an entertaining watch. The film is currently in production, so it could be a while before we see some footage. But it's certainly one to keep an eye out for.
