'Great Gatsby' on list for next year's awards

Leonardo DiCaprio will play the title role in director Baz Luhrmann's highly anticipated, delayed — and 3D(!) — adaptation of "The Great Gatsby."

The Red Carpet at Hollywood's Dolby Theater -- formerly the Kodak -- hasn't even been rolled up, but Hollywood is already buzzing about next year's Oscar race.

Prognosticating this far out is not for the faint of heart, as some possible contenders have yet to lock down release dates or even U.S. distributors. At this point in 2012, I had already seen "Beasts of the Southern Wild'' and loved it, but was as surprised as anyone else that it ended up as a Best Picture nominee.

A year ago, we had every reason to expect Baz Luhrmann's 3-D remake of "The Great Gatsby,'' with Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role, would be arriving for Christmas and Oscar season. Then it was postponed to May, setting off the usual negative speculation -- but hey, the same thing happened to Baz' "Moulin Rouge,'' and that ended up with a Best Picture nomination after all.

On last year's morning after, hardly anyone had heard of Ben Affleck's "Argo.'' Instead, we were guessing whether the reclusive Terrence Malick's "To the Wonder,'' starring Affleck, would arrive in time for the current Oscar race. It will also hit theaters in May after its awards chances were declared dead on arrival at September's Toronto International Film Festival.

So now we wonder when the suddenly prolific Malick will be delivering either of the two other mysterious films he has in postproduction -- "Knight of Cups'' with Christian Bale and Natalie Portman, and an untitled film with Ryan Gosling and Rooney Mara. And whether either one is Oscar caliber, or will be getting a 2013 release.

Here, in no particular order, are a selection of films on the horizon that would seem to be contenders based on the talents involved and genres historically favored by Oscars (especially bio-pics):

CAPTAIN PHILLIPS -- Two-time Best Actor winner Tom Hanks, who hasn't been nominated since "Cast Away,'' whiffed again last year with "Cloud Atlas,'' where he was snubbed for five different roles. He tries again in the title role, a cargo ship captain, in this fact-based drama based on a 2009 Somali pirate hijacking and directed by Paul Greengrass ("United 93'').
