Opening on 6 November 2019, the biographical adventure ‘The Aeronauts’ stars Eddie Redmayne (The Danish Girl) and Felicity Jones (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story). The pair are reunited for the first time since ‘The Theory of Everything’ five years ago in which they delivered leading performances which won Redmayne an Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe and Jones nominations for all three. Will we see similar success this time?

Helen
Mirren (The Last Station) and Ian McKellen (Gods and Monsters) will appear in the
drama thriller ‘The Good Liar’, directed and co-produced by Bill Condon
(Dreamgirls), released on 8 November 2019.
While Mirren and Condon already have Oscars (for acting and writing,
respectively), McKellen hasn’t but could that change this year?

Directed
by James Mangold (Walk The Line), the biographical drama ‘Ford v Ferrari’
(titled ‘Le Mans ‘66’ here) will drive onto the silver screen on 15 November
2019 with Matt Damon (Invictus) and Christian Bale (Vice) in the leading roles. Oscars have been claimed by Damon and Bale
before (for writing and acting, respectively) while Mangold received his first
Oscar nomination for his previous film ‘Logan’.
Could he join them by winning next year?

On
22 November 2019 the biographical film ‘Harriet’, about the slave-turned-abolitionist
Harriet Tubman, will open in cinemas.
Cynthia Erivo (Widows) has already won a Tony, Grammy and Daytime Emmy
so could this be the film that competes her EGOT with an Oscar?
