Timothée Chalamet is one of the hottest stars in film today. And no, that has nothing to do with his looks, although he is awfully dreamy. But I digress. Over the course of his relatively short career, Chalamet impressed audiences and critics last year with incredible performances in “Lady Bird” and “Call Me By Your Name.” The latter of which earned him an Oscar nomination.

I couldn’t tell a well stitched dress from a beautifully designed gown, but that’s why the Costume Designers Guild are here. The group have looked over the year in television and film and nominated the cream of the crop when it comes to the attire we’ve seen on screens both big and small.

It’s a fascinating group of films that have been nominated together. The fashion forward comedy “Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie” rubs shoulders with “La La Land” and “Nocturnal Animals” (note: Tom Ford did not design the clothes for his own film, that task went to Arianne Phillips).

While the awards season is geared specifically to honor the more artistic achievements of the medium across the last year, for those who like their entertainment with a little more spectacle, there’s always the VFX categories. And this year, the Oscar race is not short on blockbusters to choose from.

The chill of October is in the air, and that means the next few months are going to be logjammed with blockbusters and awards-season movies as we head toward the end of the year. And this weekend certainly wasn’t lacking in spectacle for moviegoers.

Leading the way at the multiplex was Tim Burton‘s “Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children,” which took the number one slot with $28.5 million.

Next week sees the opening of “Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children,” Tim Burton‘s 18th feature film. Based on the delightful novel by Ransom Riggs, which is itself inspired by Riggs’ collection of vintage photographs, the film displays the sort of themes that you might, possibly foolhardily, immediately associate with Burton, as it features haunted children, gothic undertones, themes of solidarity among freaks and the noble but lonely plight of the eternal outsider.

While this past summer at the movies has been rough by most accounts (though August had a slight surge of quality films), we now find ourselves at that near-180-degree switch that amounts to the fall festival season. With reviews already coming from our writer on the ground at the Venice Film Festival, and the Telluride Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival right around the corner, it’s an exciting time to visit The Playlist.

Let’s face it, 2016 has so far been sort of a crappy year for movies. It’s been a particularly bad summer blockbuster season, with almost everything coming up short. But even the indie world has been quieter than usual, with some dizzying highs — “The Witch,” “Embrace Of The Serpent,” “Green Room,” and “The Lobster” are among featured on our list of the best of the year so far — but some disappointments too.

Movie executives must be scratching their heads, trying to figure out what it is exactly the audiences want. With many sequels and original movies (like “The Nice Guys” and “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping“) underperforming this year, it’s anyone’s guess how Tim Burton‘s “Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children” will be received. But it certainly looks like it hits all the expected buttons moviegoers would want from a Burton picture.
