How John Malkovich’s 30 Year Oscar Drought Could Finally End With ‘Wild Horse Nine’ John Malkovich's Oscar drought has been as long and storied as his own filmography.
Thirty years have passed since he last appeared on the Academy's radar. His comeback attempt with Martin McDonagh's black comedy "Wild Horse Nine" could finally bring him back into contention.
McDonagh is no stranger to Oscar magic, having launched two of his previous films – "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" and "The Banshees of Inisherin" – as major contenders.
