Time Warner's (twx) Warner Bros. has a full slate of superhero titles (Wonder Woman, Justice League, and The LEGO Batman Movie), and the studio is already seeing a lot of
buzz around Blade Runner 2049, its long - awaited sequel to the beloved 1980s sci - fi movie.
This was a pretty intense race over the last few months, as early predictions had Denis Villeneuve potentially making the cut for
Blade Runner 2049, Steven Spielberg was very much in the mix for The Post, Martin McDonagh was pegged as a spoiler for Three Billboards and there was
buzz around whether relatively newcomers Jordan Peele and Greta Gerwig would actually make it to the Oscar table.
