Maestro trailer convinces fans Bradley Cooper will bag first Oscar

Could Bradley Cooper finally bag himself an Oscar at the Academy Awards? A lot of fans certainly seem to think so after catching a glimpse of his next performance in the Maestro trailer.

Over the years, Bradley Cooper has proven he’s got range, leading to a grand total of nine Oscar nominations, including Best Actor for Silver Linings Playbook, American Sniper, and A Star is Born.

However, he’s still yet to take home the little gold statue – but fans think he might be in for one following his performance in the upcoming Netflix movie Maestro. Even we said in our four-star review of the film: “Maestro is likely to be up there cinematically with the likes of Academy Award winners La La Land and The Artist.”

Now a new trailer has dropped, leaving fans even more convinced of Cooper’s future success.
