Key Points:
- Inde Navarrette will campaign for Best Actress at the upcoming Oscars for her breakout role in Focus Features' box office hit "Obsession," which has grossed over $505.6 million worldwide on a $750,000 budget.
- Focus Features is mounting a major awards campaign for "Obsession," also pushing director Curry Barker for Best Director, Original Screenplay, and Film Editing, aiming for recognition across nearly all eligible categories.
- The studio is building its Best Picture campaign around Navarrette's performance, using her as the central narrative to drive attention to the film and other Focus Features projects this season.
- Focus has yet to decide whether to submit "Obsession" for Golden Globe consideration in the Drama or Musical/Comedy category, with the latter option drawing comparisons to Jordan Peele's "Get Out," which successfully competed as a comedy.
- Alongside "Obsession," Focus Features will also campaign for other films including "Elsinore" starring Andrew Scott, a "Sense and Sensibility" remake with Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Robert Eggers' horror film "Werwulf."
