Deadline kicked off movie-awards season Saturday with Contenders London, which featured creatives and key craftspeople from 13 buzzy films that will be at the forefront of kudos conversations leading up to the Oscars in March.
A starry list of panelists from Ridley Scott (Napoleon), Emerald Fennell (Saltburn) and Michael Mann (Ferrari) to Jaymes Samuel (The Book of Clarence), Todd Haynes (May December), Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi (Nyad) and J.A. Bayona (Society of the Snow) took to the stage at the Ham Yard Hotel for panel discussions led by Deadline’s film and awards teams.
Movies also taking part over the weekend included both the year’s biggest box office hit in Barbie and one of the year’s most anticipated films in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. Additionally, the list of participants includes Bradley Cooper’s Maestro, Christos Nikou’s Fingernails, David Fincher’s The Killer and Sam Fell’s Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget.
Studios participating include Amazon MGM Studios, Apple Original Films, Warner Bros, TriStar and Legendary, Netflix, Columbia Pictures and Neon.
