Handicapping an unreleased, untitled film’s Oscar chances in March is a risky prospect at best, but the recent announcement that Lionsgate’s movie about political Svengali and former Fox News president Roger Ailes will be released on December 20 raises alarm bells for any awards watcher, especially with its starry cast and its strong pedigree behind the camera. Could it turn out to be this year’s “Vice”?
The upcoming film focuses on the downfall of Ailes following accusations of sexual harassment. Two-time Oscar nominee John Lithgow plays the disgraced Ailes. Oscar winner Charlize Theron (who also produces the film) portrays Fox personality Megyn Kelly. Oscar winner Nicole Kidman co-stars as her colleague Gretchen Carlson. And taking on the role of Fox media mogul Rupert Murdoch is Malcolm McDowell. The cast also includes big names like Margot Robbie, Allison Janney and Connie Britton.
