            It seems that every year, there is an Oscar frontrunner in some categories whether that be Best Picture, Best Animated Feautre or the acting categories and with the new trailer for Jackie, it seems that Natalie Portman is headed for a second Academy Award as Jackie Kennedy. Produced by Darren Aronofsky, who directed Portman to her first Oscar in Black Swan, Jackie looks tremendous and you can get a look at it with the new trailer below.

            The film focuses on Kennedy’s harrowing days following the death of her husband, John F. Kennedy and the transition of power upcoming in Washington. It’s been regarded as intimate a film as you’ll ever see as it provides a look at exactly what the First Lady dealt with after her husband was assassinated. This looks to me to be one of the best upcoming movies for the rest of the year and the trailer is gorgeous. I can’t wait to see this movie.

            Check out the new trailer for Jackie below! In addition to Portman, the movie also stars Greta Gerwig, Billy Crudup, John Hurt and Peter Sarsgaard. The movie opens everywhere on December 2^nd.
