A WEEKEND screening of Steve Jobs, a biopic about Apple Inc's famous co-founder, drew high praise from some reviewers and suggestions that actor Michael Fassbender could be an Oscar contender for his portrayal of Mr Jobs.

While the positive views were not unanimous, Variety.com was impressed. Its reviewer said that Fassbender, director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin gave Mr Jobs "the brilliant, maddening, ingeniously designed and monstrously self-aggrandizing movie he deserves". It described the movie as a "terrific actors' showcase and an incorrigibly entertaining ride". The website listed Fassbender as a "no- brainer best actor Oscar contender".
