Brendan Fraser looks set for an Oscar nomination if the trailer for The Whale is anything to go by

The first trailer for A24's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Whale has arrived – and Brendan Fraser 🎶is giving what many are calling his career-best performance.

The brief clip, which can be viewed above, doesn't give much away about the film and instead highlights its intense emotional nature – ending with a sick, tearful Fraser uttering, "Do you ever get the feeling p𒊎eople are incapable of not caring? People are amazing."

Directed by Darren Aronofsky, The Whale follows Charlie (Fraser), a recluse living with severe obesity, who attempts to reconnect with his daughter Ellie (Sadie Sink) after having left his family for a man who later died. Hong Chau (Downsizing), Samantha Morton (The Serpent Queen), Ty Simpkins (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Endgame), and Sathya Sri🃏dharan (Minor Premise) also star.

It screened again atꦕ London Film Festival, where it was met once again with a five-minute standing ovation. ꩲBetween the overall audience reception, multiple festival awards, and overwhelmingly positive reviews in praise of Fraser's performance – it looks like an Oscar nom is on the horizon.
