13 Movies That Already Have Oscar Buzz

Nate Parker's film has been overshadowed by controversy in his personal life since his historical drama about Nat Turner's slave rebellion debuted at Sundance, but it doesn't change the fact that his directorial debut is also attracting Oscar buzz. Parker's layered performance in the leading role should garner attention in the best actor category and the film as a whole should be considered for best picture. It's a bold entry into this year's award season that we expect to Academy to heed, especially following last year's #OscarsSoWhite controversy.
