Looks like this will be too polarizing to stand a chance of winning BP, especially since they already gave it to Birdman

It's clearly not for everyone, but there are a few 10/10s, those people really love it. Some tech wins + Leo?

Are people really going to want to see this during the Christmas season?

[CoolioD1]

After Django and Wall Street the fucked-up christmas movie is pretty much Leo's brand.

I think Shutter Island and Gatsby were also originally Holiday releases but the got pushed to next year.

Shutter Island was originally supposed to be released October 2009. The official explanation for the move was that Paramount didn't have the 50-60 million for extra marketing for an awards push and that Leo wouldn't be able to do press tours for the film around that time.

Everyone who is interested in this movie you absolutely must watch BONE TOMAHAWK !!

[Ethan Hunt]

After seeing Schmoesknow's review I definitely think Mark Ellis will have this as his favorite film of the year

It costs $50M to market an awards push?

Screeners, advertisements in the trades, paying for press tours/junkets, etc. It adds up. Add that's cumulative of the initial marketing as well.

If the 50M~ number is including the original marketing then fair enough. 

[Plain Old Tele]

No, just awards marketing. Also, setting up special guild screenings, travel costs for talent, putting on banquets, etc... it all adds up.

Oscar Campaigns might be as expensive or more expensive than political ones, wow.

[MovieMan89]

Not particularly good reviews for something that was supposed to be one of the frontunners. In fact, it's looking to be the worst reviewed of the 10-12 movies in contention for BP. 

[AniNate]

Could still get in via the love/hate publicity that propelled Wolf of Wall Street

Though will be very interesting to see whether critics go for Hateful Eight more than this or not

Well, it has gotten quite some 4-5's out of 5 and 9-10's out of 10. 

[eXtacy]

Schmoes Know gave it a 4.5 and 5. Chris Stuckman gave it a an A-. Both of them give heavy praise to Leonardo DiCaprio saying its Oscar worthy.

This sounds very promising... even the rotten reviews make it sound very interesting.
