Martin Scorsese is no stranger to Oscar nominations, and with Killers of the Flower Moon releasing this year, it’s possible that Scorsese vs. Scorsese could occur at the 2024 Oscars. Killers of the Flower Moon is Martin Scorsese’s biggest movie of the year, with the upcoming gangster film getting a lot of buzz. However, Killers of the Flower Moon isn’t Scorsese’s only film eligible for the 2024 Oscars, as he’s involved with another film that has some serious potential for nominations.
Killers of the Flower Moon is the next Martin Scorsese-directed film, with it getting a wide release in October 2023. The film follows a series of murders as the FBI gets involved in order to investigate the killings of several members of the Osage Native American tribe in the midst of an oil dispute. Killers of the Flower Moon has already been making the rounds at film festivals, and it is receiving critical acclaim. Killers of the Flower Moon is expected to be a heavy-hitter at the 2024 Academy Awards, but it may not be the only one involving Scorsese.
Martin Scorsese Has Two Big Oscars Movies: Killers Of The Flower Moon & Maestro
Killers of the Flower Moon may be the most well-known Martin Scorsese movie releasing this year, but he is actually involved with another film: Maestro. Directed by and starring Bradley Cooper, Maestro is an upcoming biopic that explores the life of composer Leonard Bernstein and his marriage to Felicia Montealegre. Martin Scorsese isn’t directing Maestro, although he originally wanted to, but he is one of the film’s producers, meaning that a Best Picture nomination would be considered a nomination for Martin Scorsese.
Much like Killers of the Flower Moon, it is expected that Maestro will be nominated for several Oscars due to its prestige and subject matter. Since Maestro hasn’t been released yet, these nominations aren’t a guarantee, but they do seem likely. So, there is a distinct possibility that Killers of the Flower Moon and Maestro could be nominated for the same categories, causing two Scorsese films to face off.
Killers Of The Flower Moon vs. Maestro: Which Martin Scorsese Movie Will Win More Oscars?
Killers of the Flower Moon and Maestro could both receive several Oscar nominations, but which Scorsese movie will actually win more Oscars? The Academy often gives nominations to performances of real-life people, and since Cooper is playing a real-life composer, a Best Actor nomination seems likely. On top of that, Maestro could easily get nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Music (Original Score). However, these are just guesses, as Maestro hasn’t actually been released yet.
On the other hand, Killers of the Flower Moon has already been seen by some audiences, and it seems like it could be a big contender at the Oscars. Killers of the Flower Moon is expected to be nominated for several categories, with Scorsese films typically being seen in categories like Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. Scorsese has only won one out of his many Academy Awards nominations, but if he were to win big in 2024, it would most likely be for Killers of the Flower Moon.
