Could All Of Us Strangers Be an Academy Awards Contender?
Follows Adam and Harry meeting on a lonely night, as their romantic bond grows stronger. Upon returning home, Adam discovers his parents, who have been dead for 30 years, alive and unchanged in appearance.
In comparison to Andrew Haigh's previous films like Lean on Pete and 45 Years, All Of Us Strangers presents a more high-concept premise. Nevertheless, it maintains the director's trademark of capturing quiet intimacy with his characters, positioning it as a potential standout in this awards season. While only 45 Years received an Oscar nomination (with Charlotte Rampling as Supporting Actress), the stellar cast in this new film might just give it the extra push it needs.
Paul Mescal, known for his breakout role in the Irish miniseries Normal People and his recent Oscar nomination for Aftersun, has emerged as one of the most talked-about young stars of the moment. While his co-stars haven't received Oscar nominations themselves, they have garnered recognition for their exceptional work. Foy, for instance, has won two Emmys for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown, Bell has been awarded a BAFTA for his performance in the 2001 film Billy Elliot, and Scott has been recognized as an Emmy nominee for his guest role on Black Mirror.
With a talented cast, skilled director, and a limited number of films due to ongoing Hollywood strikes, All Of Us Strangers has positioned itself favorably for this award season. Its strategic release date enhances its chances of making it onto the coveted Top 10 lists of the year's best films. Considering all these factors, the movie has a strong possibility of securing significant nominations, especially in the acting categories, for the 2024 Oscars.
