The Box Office:Every single Steven Spielberg drama since Saving Private Ryan has been nominated for Best Picture. So, yeah, The Post is probably going to be a major Oscar player this season. The film has a crackerjack cast (Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, etc.) That Steven Spielberg, the man who helped pioneer the modern blockbuster, is now one of the last bastions of mid-budget, star-driven studio dramas, is a grand bit of irony. The Post makes up the third chapter in Spielberg's unofficial trilogy of American institutions ennobling America as an idea by fighting for its inherent values during times of great stress.
