The Academy Awards can change a winner or nominee’s career in a way no other award can. Brie Larson went from winning an Oscar for “Room” to becoming Captain Marvel. Rami Malek has jumped from “Mr. Robot” to James Bond villain thanks in part to his star-making victory in “Bohemian Rhapsody.” With that in mind, what lies in the future for this year’s Oscar winners?
Joaquin Phoenix, already regarded as one of the best actors of his generation, finally won the Best Actor Oscar for “Joker.” But just before he climbed the Oscar stage, he finished filming on his next project, the indie drama “C’mon C’mon” from “20th Century Women” director Mike Mills. Due out this Christmas, Phoenix stars as a documentary filmmaker doing a film on his gifted young nephew while dealing with his bipolar father.

As Summer came to an end in 1975, production began on one of the more well-known entries in the horror film canon. A chilling portrayal that depicts the foretold arrival of the Antichrist and the inevitable end of times, The Omen came hot off the success of The Exorcist, a frightening and devilish adaptation that had changed the landscape of the movie genre forever.
The Exorcist had been a monstrous hit. To this day, it ranks as one of the top-grossing horror films of all time, having earned over $232 million in revenue.
