With the Fourth of July holiday in the rearview mirror, it’s time to get back to work. That means it’s high time to take a look at Oscar contenders from the first half of the year.
This list is comprised of films that have already been released, plus some of the top titles from festivals — even if they haven’t hit theaters yet.

Carter Burwell said about the score:
