In less than a decade, A24 has become one of the industry’s most reliable awards magnets, with Best Picture wins for “Moonlight” and “Everything Everywhere All At Once” and multiple Best Picture nominations – including this year for the 2023 films “Past Lives” and “The Zone of Interest.” So it would perhaps be wise to leave a space on the 2025 Oscars ballot for “Sing Sing.” The acclaimed film – which A24 acquired after it debuted at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival – is out in theaters this summer, and if the newly released and emotional trailer is any indication, it should be a strong contender in numerous top categories.

Out in July, the film focuses on a Sing Sing prison inmate named Divine G (current Best Actor nominee Colman Domingo), who is incarcerated for a crime he didn’t commit and “finds purpose by acting in a theatre group alongside other incarcerated men, including a wary newcomer (Clarence Maclin).” A24 describes the film as a stirring true story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art” and notes that the cast is populated with “an unforgettable ensemble cast of formerly incarcerated actors.” (Domingo and former Best Supporting Actor nominee Paul Raci are the most well-known performers in the group.)

Reviews for the film out of Toronto were very strong, with Domingo hailed as a highlight. “Sing Sing” is directed by Greg Kwedar, who co-wrote the screenplay with Clint Bentley (“Jockey”).
