award season

As temperatures outside continue to fall, the buzz around Hollywood's Awards Season is just heating up.

And with festivities in full swing, there's never been a better time to head to the cinema and catch up on all the blockbusters taking the film industry by storm.

Sit back, relax and let Hollywood's leading lads and ladies show you what all the buzz is about, in one of ODEON's 11 locations nationwide.

With so many exciting titles to choose from, there really is something for everyone this January.

Our very own Saoirse Ronan leads the way after scooping the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for her performance in Lady Bird – a coming of age story focused around the turbulent relationship between an outspoken teen and her strong-willed mother.

Or if that doesn't tickle your fancy, why not not check out Martin McDonagh's critically acclaimed Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri which took home a total of four gongs at this year's GG ceremony.

Whatever you're in the mood for, ODEON has just the thing to brighten your mood this January including:

  • Molly’s Game (released December 26th)

Can't choose? Why not get yourself an ODEON Limitless card so you can enjoy unlimited movies at a fixed monthly price?

Sophie Buckle ODEON Senior Film Booker said “This time of year is really exciting for film fans in Ireland. There has already been great buzz around award season this year including our very own Saoirse Ronan who’s already won a Golden Globe.”

“With so many strong titles being released in ODEON over the next few weeks we want to give our customers an opportunity to see as many of these fantastic titles as possible!”

Awards season is upon us so we decided to take a look at five of the movies you NEED to watch before settling in with a hot water bottle (or any other bottle of your choice) to watch the Oscars this year.

1. Gravity
This movie is entirely set in space –  a “3D science fiction thriller” if you will. This made us sceptical to say the least. “It’s basically Open Water in space” was one of the quotes floating around in relation to the movie, but it’s actually a very impressive film. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are the story’s two stars and Bullock has impressed critics everywhere with her performance as astronaut Dr Ryan Stone.

2. Philomena
A British comedy-drama set in Britain, Ireland and the US, this movie starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan has created quite a stir. Based on the true story of Limerick woman Philomena Lee (Judi Dench), the movie follows Lee’s journey to find her son who was taken off her at the convent in Roscrea, Co. Tipperary, where she was kept during her pregnancy 1960’s. A truly inspiring and heart breaking tale with a light comedic touch that is worth seeing;  if even just for the relevance of what so many women in Ireland went through at the time.

3. American Hustle
Jennifer Lawrence. Need we say more? Christian Bale. There we go! A fast paced, interesting and vibrant movie that is far from let down by its impressive cast. A little on the hard side to explain, the movie involves con artists, robbery and politicians. Well worth seeing and it is sure to be a hit at the Oscars this year.

4. 12 Years a Slave
Based on a true story, the movie on everybody’s lips this week is 12 Years a Slave. It has been predicted that this will win massively at the Oscars this year. Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor as Soloman Northup, a free man who is kidnapped and sold into slavery in post-civil war America and whose autobiography was the inspiration for the movie. The movie also stars our very own and very lovely Michael Fassbender, alongside Brad Pitt.

5. The Wolf of Wall Street
Oh Leo. We want you to get the Oscar you deserve so much this year – it’s been a long time coming. The movie, a black comedy directed by Martin Scorsese, revolves around stockbroker Belfort (Leonardo Di Caprio) who works at a firm on Wall Street during the nineties, engaging in fraud and corruption. Set to be huge, it will be released in Ireland on the 17th January.
