The most recent awards season came to an end over a week ago now with the spectacular Oscars sweep for Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite, and I am now taking a very early and entirely hypothetical look at next years awards season.

An Amazon Studios Picture, Written by Shia LaBeouf, Directed by Alma Har’el For many people this was one of the big omissions from awards season this year, and I mainly agree that it was snubbed.
