Last year, Hope proclaimed that Amazon was no longer so awards obsessed after winning three Oscars in 2017 (two for “Manchester by the Sea” and one for “The Salesman”), but he and his corporate masters probably didn’t mind the trio of nominations they received in 2019 for “Cold War,” including best director and best foreign language film. Nor did it stop him and his fellow Amazon Studios heads of movies, Julie Rapaport and Matt Newman, from whipping out the checkbook at this year’s Sundance Film Festival to acquire five films (“One Child Nation,” “Late Night,” “Brittany Runs a Marathon,” “The Report” and “Honey Boy”). Other movies on Amazon’s 2019 slate include “The Aeronauts,” “Seberg,” “Les Misérables” and “The Invisible Life of Eurídice Gusmão.”
