I've read this phrase in an aritcle about 2016 Oscar prediction. The original passage is as follow.
"Same goes for which of the annual slew of big name biopics will be the 2016 answer to "The Theory of Everything" or "The Imitation Game" (or on the flipside, the 2016 answer to "Unbroken" or "Big Eyes"). We've got takes on the likes of Steve Jobs (played by Michael Fassbender), screenwriter Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston), book editor Max Perkins (Colin Firth), transgender artist Lili Elbe (Eddie Redmayne, gunning for Oscar number two), infamous criminal Whitey Bulger (Johnny Depp, gunning to gain our respect back), news anchor Dan Rather (Robert Redford) and singer Miles Davis (Don Cheadle), just to name a male dominated few."
