From “The Whale” to “Glass Onion,” here are 15 films this award season you won’t want to miss.

“Blonde” (In select theaters on September 16 and Netflix on September 28)

There have been many movies that have depicted the life of Marilyn Monroe, but few are like this one that thrusts us headfirst into how her fame completely crippled her.

Ana de Armas delivers a breathtaking performance that will likely lead to at least an Oscar nomination.

“Tár” (October 7)

In this look at the life of renowned conductor and composer Lydia Tár, we once more see the greatness of Cate Blanchett, who delivers an amazing performance.

And we also see that having not made a movie since 2006’s “Little Children” hasn’t affected director Todd Field’s talents to create a powerful story.

“Triangle of Sadness” (October 7)

For the latest dark comedy from acclaimed director Ruben Östlund (“Force Majeure,” “The Square”) he places us on a luxury cruise where nothing is what it seems.

This marks the English-language debut for the director, who will be gunning for best director and screenplay Oscar nominations.

“Armageddon Time” (October 28)

For the latest movie from James Gray (“We Own the Night,” “Lost City of Z,” “Ad Astra”) the director takes memories from his childhood growing up in Queens in the 1980s to tell the story of a family in search of the American dream.

Gray collected an all-star cast including Anne Hathaway, Jeremy Strong, and Anthony Hopkins.

“The Fabelmans” (Select theaters November 11 and a wide release November 23)

Like Gray, Steven Spielberg also took elements of his own childhood to create his latest movie, which follows the life of a young aspiring filmmaker.

Expect best-picture hype and likely nominations for a cast made up of Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, Seth Rogen, and Judd Hirsch.

“The Son” (November 11)

In this prequel to the 2020 movie “The Father,” which earned Anthony Hopkins an Oscar win, Hugh Jackman plays a dad who struggles to find a balance between his family and work.

Expect Oscar hype for writer-director Florian Zeller (he won the best adapted screenplay Oscar for “The Father”), Jackman, and costars Laura Dern and Vanessa Kirby.

“The Inspection” (November 18)

Based on true events, Jeremy Pope plays a gay Marine who becomes a target of awful hazing during boot camp on Parris Island.

Expect attention through award season for Pope, writer-director Elegance Bratton, and Gabrielle Union who plays a homophobic mother.

“She Said” (November 18)

Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan play the New York Times reporters who exposed Harvey Weinstein’s years of sexual abuse and launched the #MeToo movement.

Expect the actresses to find Oscar buzz.

“White Noise” (Select theaters November 25 and on Netflix December 30)

Marking the first time Noah Baumbach makes a movie that isn’t from an original idea, this adaptation of the Don DeLillo book follows Adam Driver as a father who must deal with a train accident that has caused chemical waste to spew all over his town.

Along with Oscar-favorites Baumbach and Driver in the mix, Greta Gerwig and Don Cheadle also star.

“Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” (Select theaters in November and on Netflix on December 23)

Rian Johnson teams with Daniel Craig for another whodunit. With buzz building that it’s even better than the first “Knives Out” movie, we are in for something special that could lead to Oscar glory.

The impressive cast includes Craig, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista.

“Women Talking” (December 2)

This one’s got Oscar bait written all over it. Based on the novel by Miriam Toews, Sarah Polley writes and directs this powerful movie that follows women isolated in a religious community.

It stars Rooney Mara, Clarie Foy, Frances McDormand, and Jessie Buckley.

“Empire of Light” (December 9)

This Sam Mendes-directed romance movie set during the 1980s on the English coast stars Olivia Colman, and Colin Firth. Plus, the movie’s music is by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross and its cinematographer is Roger Deakins.

Need we say more?

“The Whale” (December 9)

Brendan Fraser has quickly become the best actor Oscar frontrunner thanks to the reception he’s been receiving for playing a 600-pound man who, through guilt and loss, tries to reconnect with his teenage daughter, played by Sadie Sink.
