Universal’s likely best shot at major Oscar nominations this year.
Steve Jobs
Stars: Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, Jeff Daniels, Michael Stuhlbarg
Director: Danny Boyle
Premise: From IMDb: “Steve Jobs takes us behind the scenes of the digital revolution, to paint a portrait of the man at its epicenter. The story unfolds backstage at three iconic product launches, ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac.”
Oscar Chances: Good: While the film was a box office dud, that didn’t prevent critics from heaping praise on the film, which may enable it to hold on to secure key Oscar nominations.
