16 movies, TV series and more premiering Dec. 9 to 15

"The Mule," "Roma" and "If Beale Street Could Talk," all premiere this week.

December 9, 2018, 4:21 AM

Awards season is officially underway, and the nominated (and snubbed!) movies are rolling out at a more rapid pace.

Barry Jenkins' latest project, "If Beale Street Could Talk," which recently picked up three Golden Globe nominations including one for best dramatic film, hits theaters Friday, the same day Netflix rolls out "Roma," Oscar-winning director Alfonso Cuarón's new, semi-autobiographical movie. ("Roma" was ineligible for a best picture nomination; it earned one for best foreign language film instead.)

"The Mule," a movie in which director Clint Eastwood also stars, failed to earn any Golden Globe nominations, surprising some experts who expected it to follow in the footsteps of the octogenarian's 2014 effort, "American Sniper." Could it have better luck with the Academy? We'll have to wait until January to see.

For more on those projects and other exciting premiere dates happening this week, check out "Good Morning America"'s list, below.
