5 Reasons Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Will Lead The 2018 Oscars

Every once in awhile, a film comes along that makes you both laugh and cry, and it stays with you long after the credits have rolled. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is one of them.

Every once in awhile, a film comes along that makes you both laugh and cry, and it stays with you long after the credits have rolled. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is one of them. And it will especially tug at your heartstrings if you are a mother.

The film stars the Oscar-winning actress Frances McDormand as a grieving mother living in Missouri who’s trying to find justice for her daughter who was raped and murdered. It led to her being the talk of the town when she put up three billboards on the roadside. 

Here’s why this emotional film is one of this year’s must-watch film (click the gallery below). It’s already swept the Golden Globes, BAFTA and Screen Actors Guild Awards, and is likely to do so at the upcoming Oscars!

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is showing in selected cinemas.

5 Reasons Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Will Lead The 2018 Oscars
1. Frances McDormand's stellar performance

The brilliant Frances McDormand puts in one of her best onscreen performances as Mildred Hayes, a mother seeking justice for the murder of her daughter. The role has already landed the actress a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Motion Picture, on top of the recent BAFTA and Screen Actors Guild Awards. It’s no wonder there are lots of Oscar buzz of her winning as well. 

2. Best Drama Motion Picture Film In The 75th Golden Globe Awards

Awarded the best film for this year’s Golden Globe Awards, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is lauded for its intense, emotional and darkly humorous story that explores many themes, including racism, murder, justice, rape, domestic abuse and police brutality. The film is also expected to be a frontrunner for the upcoming Oscars with nominations in various categories.

3. Sam Rockwell as Officer Jason Dixon

Nominated and awarded the Best Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture, Sam Rockwell plays a racist cop with such fierce conviction that you will hate him and then love him towards the end. Many film critics predicted that the role will also land him an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

4. The superb cast and script

As much as its a story-driven film, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is also character-driven with a very sharp script. From the bitter-sweet moments featuring the charismatic police chief William Willoughby (above, played by actor Woody Harrelson) to supporting roles like advertising boss Red Welby (played brilliantly by Caleb Landry Jones), each character is given moments to shine in the film.

5. Peter Dinklage

Did we mention that our favourite dwarf from Game of Thrones is in this film as well? Peter Dinklage plays a supporting role as the wannabe love interest of Mildred. He might not have been nominated for any awards in this role, but the scenes he’s in are hilarious, which just adds to the charm of the movie further. Thumbs up for Peter’s performance!
