It's almost a certainty that upcoming Weinstein Company, -directed film August: Osage County is going to power through the awards season this year, knocking down hardware like a bowling ball through pins. It has virtually everything awards voters love: Based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning and Tony Award-winning play by , the screenplay was also adapted by him. It has a story about family dysfunction of awkward to horrible levels. It has an eye-popping all star cast. It has . Seriously, Meryl Streep.
The story revolves around the lives of the strong-willed women of the dysfunctional Weston clan, which had splintered and gone their separate ways until a family crisis brings them back to the Midwest house they grew up in, and to the domineering woman who raised them.
Here's the official first trailer from The Weinstein Company:
With all of the above, why does this trailer leave me feeling a little... indifferent? Is it because I feel as if I've seen this "dysfunctional family forced together only to remember their love" dynamic at play so many times before? Is it because the wildly talented supporting characters in such a large ensemble cast don't really have much time to shine in two and a half minutes? Seriously, appears in this for all of 5 seconds. Perhaps the movie will reveal more than we've seen, and with the incomparable Streep in the lead role, a film is always a contender.
The all-star cast includes the aforementioned Streep and Cumberbatch, along with , , , , , , and . That is an impressive amount of talent in one movie.
August: Osage County opens on November 8th, so if you want to get the jump on this awards season darling, make sure to [[follow]] along with the latest news.

In the spring they burst into life, little flecks of green start to adorn their woody branches. When summer comes the leaves are bright green and the bunches of grapes are swelling and changing colour, making promises of the nectar they contain. Then in autumn the vineyard comes alive with action, pickers strip the vines of their bounty and machines carry the precious cargo to the winery ready for the next stage of the process. This is an introduction to the wonder of viticulture.

Ed Miliband has attempted to quash weeks of Tory jibes that he will try to "crawl" into Downing Street with SNP backing by ruling out a formal coalition with the nationalists.
The Labour leader insisted there will be no power-sharing deal with Nicola Sturgeon's party and he would not lead a government that included SNP ministers.
"It will not happen," he said at a town hall-style campaign event in Guiseley, West Yorkshire.
" There are big differences between us …
"Labour will not go into coalition government with the SNP.
"There will be no SNP ministers in any government I lead."

Celta Vigo striker John Guidetti has been mercilessly mocked on Twitter for missing a glorious opportunity to send his side into the Europa League final.
In the 96th minute of Thursday night's semi-final against Manchester United, Guidetti scuffed his shot when it would have been easier to slot home into an open goal. The final whistle went just six seconds later.
Here's the Swede's stinker in all its glory:
The internet, never one to show sympathy, was quick to humiliate the 25-year-old.

CHANCE for John Guidetti, but he's not very good so it didn't go in.— Coral (@Coral) May 11, 2017
Knees weak— Daniel (@DanielM799) May 11, 2017
Arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already
John Guidetti
To make matters worse for Guidetti, he had trash talked United before the game.
Guidetti, who used to represent United's local rivals Manchester City, told UEFA earlier this month that the city "is blue" and Celta Vigo would ensure it remained that way.
The implication here is that there is only room for one big club in Manchester, with Guidetti claiming that club is the blue of City, not the red of United.

...and then misses a last-second open goal 😂 #MUFC pic.twitter.com/0qI8n0D79C
Talking to ITV after the game, former United player Roy Keane was equally as savage: "He's never looked nimble in his career, to be fair… just look at the guy."
Guidetti's Wikipedia page was also edited moments after the final whistle to read: "[Guidetti] absolutely bottled it in the Europa League semi-final after giving it the 'Billy big b*******' before the match."
Marouane Fellaini's 17th-minute goal and Facundo Roncaglia's second half equaliser ensured the game finished 1-1, meaning United won the tie 2-1 on aggregate.
Manchester United now face Ajax in the Friends Arena in Stockholm on May 24.

Josh Gibson isn't sure whether AFL teammate Brad Hill's mid-season meeting with Fremantle will become common across the league.
But Gibson suggests Hawthorn have no issue with it, saying the three-time reigning premiers pride themselves on being frank with one another.
Hill, who is homesick, recently visited Perth to meet with Dockers coach Ross Lyon.
Similar trips have attracted plenty of angst and scorn in recent seasons, even earlier this year when Western Bulldog Lin Jong inspected the facilities at Collingwood.
Some former players have been aghast at Hill's trip west but the Hawks were aware and happy.
"Footy is changing … there's going to be different scenarios that you didn't see 10 years ago," Gibson said on Tuesday.
"I can't speak on behalf of everyone and every footy club environment. We've got a pretty good group here that is tight and we talk about a lot of things."
Hill responded to the headlines in the best possible fashion, playing his best game of the season.
The 23-year-old tallied 31 disposals in the Hawks' 70-point win over Richmond on Sunday.
"You look at the way Hilly played and I think it was great for him to get it off his chest," Gibson said.
"He was relaxed when he played.
"We're not going to keep talking about it. He's got a job to do, as do we."
Hill has insisted he hasn't made any final decision.
The speedster, who is the younger brother of Dockers star Stephen, admitted he was "a bit nervous" telling teammates about the visit.
"Clarko (coach Alastair Clarkson) brought me in with the leaders, they spoke to me and they were very good about the way they said it to me, made me feel a bit more comfortable," Hill said.
"They've done a lot for me over the time, (now I want to) repay them with playing some good footy."
