It wouldn’t be awards season without a little bit of drama around last-minute contenders sprinting to the finish line.

>Steven Spielberg’s “The Papers” wasn’t even a go until a week after “Moonlight” won the best picture Oscar earlier this year.

>Ridley Scott’s “All the Money in the World” was still casting a week after Spielberg signed on to direct his film.

>Eastwood set off to make “The 15:17 to Paris” only weeks ago, but he’s already closing in on a wrap and will likely have it in and out of the editing suite in no time.
