Steve Jobs | October 9 limited, expands Oct 16, wide on Oct 23 | Teaser Trailer Page 9

[CoolioD1]

yeah, if I had to guess this is like one of those awards filler movies that gets nominations but is like 4th place in every category.

[TStechnij]

I'm not too confident about Steve Jobs. I think it could get quite a few nominations, Winslet and Screenplays seem like locks, but I think it will struggle for top 5 BP or Best Director.

Most of the pundits are thinking the best picture winner isn't at Telluride this year. I think it is between Joy and Danish Girls, with The Revenant and Beasts of No Nation possibly on striking distance.

Joy seems to have a good chance as it may be time to award DOR.

Yea if it was for me, I always thought the big THREE this year are Joy, Revenant and Danish.

It's just that none of them are at Telluride that makes me think: are they going to select a Telluride screener again just like they did the past 6 years or so?

[Jonwo]

The Revenant likely isn't finished, likewise with Joy and The Danish Girl is premiering at TIFF.

All this skepticism is why I feel pretty bullish on Steve Jobs. It will have the benefit of remaining the underdog just like the winners over the last five years. Plus it'd be a perfect cap on Universal's amazing year, right?

Good point.

@DavidPoland: Ladies and gentlemen, we have our first Oscar frontrunners… Steve Jobs and Michael Fassbender.

@kristapley: "Steve Jobs" is a unique and totally absorbing character study. It's also the Aaron Sorkin show, rat-tat-tat, wall-to-wall dialogue.

@DavidPoland: Uh… and this is Sorkin’s best work to date.

@kristapley: Sensational editing, interesting camera choices and by the way: Fassbender CRUSHES it.

@kristapley: Score is also fantastic and not what you might expect. Part of what dictates the pace, really.

@kristapley: Whole thing is predicated on a sort of sui generis structure that's really quite bold for a film like this.

[MinaTakla]

Universal might start preparing its Oscar campaign!

Steve Jobs is getting crazy good responses at Telluride.

Imagine if Universal, after slaying the box office, wins the Oscar too? WOW.

I am amazed at how the Oscar Pundits have taken control of the oscar race, maybe it s not new, I don't know.

 

It seems that they relish in it.

 

They are way too self conscious of the power they hold now.

 

It s pathetic,funny, dangerous, terrible & fucking weird.

 

AMPAS are basically sheep at best.

[Dementeleus]

Except AMPAS members don't really give a shit about the pundits, as has been proved time and again.

[MinaTakla]

I am telling you guys - as I said earlier - this is probably winning BEST PIC OSCAH.

Like Argo and Birdman, everyone will go like no way in hell etc and it will remain the underdog until the PGAs

Universal - WOW! U've done it again. Disney and all other studios must be jealous!

Or maybe it's just, you know, a good movie. 

[adrianarose27]

i bet this is the winner. it'll stay a relative underdog while the bigger movies come out and then win at the guilds, just like Argo, Birdman, etc.

[Durden]

@TheGregoryE

Steve Jobs - lots and lots of Sorkin. Last 10 min Boyle. Great perfs. #telluride

 

@davidehrlich

STEVE JOBS: The Social Network meets Birdman for Sorkin's most electric portrait of a Great Man. Fassbender is unreal, Boyle is weak link.

 

STEVE JOBS is almost as good as Social Network so long as Boyle gets out of the way but woooof those disastrous last 5 minutes.

[Ryan Reynolds]

the year of the biopics SoC vs Steve Jobs, i'll give Eazy-E the edge since a tad more likeable

[MinaTakla]

Exactly what I've been saying all week. Agreed! 

[MinaTakla]

First review. Oscah.

[adrianarose27]

that's not a review, that's Kris Tapley's useless Oscar predicting column. he's a waste of time to read, i could tell you everything he says about these movies without even seeing them, lol.

[Empire]

The really positive reactions to this are making me extremely excited for it!

[TStechnij]

Those last ten minutes most be horrendous. That is amusing.

It was noted as a "work-in-progress" screening.

I still think Hooper is in it and am betting on Joy. DOR needs an Oscar more than Boyle.
