Yet another lesson in prematurely anointing films and performances as sure fire Award winners when no one has seen the fucking movie.

I can guarantee a lot of critics will be in denial like Unbroken.

Academy members might have to do something radical and actually watch all those screeners and decide for themselves instead of just checking off all the anointed front runners and cronies

 

Nah

The answer is obvious, just give it to Theron.

 

At least she might actually get nominated now.

Unless the Academy pulls some Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close fuckery, I think we can count this out of the Oscar race.

 

Yay?

SW7 ... Seriously though this year is shaping up well for the more commercial choices. Really weak year for the prestige films. Sad to see this film getting the reception it is though. It's almost certainly gonna flop. Hopefully JLaw will branch out a bit more.

[Plain Old Tele]

Why would it flop? It's the sort of movie that'll probably be appealing to audiences.

I dont' think it will flop either and this is coming from someone who doesn't think the movie ever looked good.

 

My guess is people are thinking this is the kind of movie that needs reviews to boost it so when the reviews look really bad right now (not that it can't change), it could theoretically hurt the film

 

Or something like that

I'll admit I was too quick. Flop is the wrong word, since I don't even know what the budget is. It may open well, but I feel like WOM has to be good for a film like this to really succeed. I know it's way too early to say what WOM is either way, but an Oscar-bait type film that has pretty bad reviews doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Yeah this is the kind of film where more than a few people will be checking reviews and a part of the audience will definitely be driven away and go see something else. I don't think it'll flop, though.

[filmlover]

At this point it's pretty obvious Spotlight is winning Best Picture.

 

The reviews for this are more tepid than hoped for but I still think JLaw will be nominated, even if she ends up being the movie's only nomination (like Gone Girl).

[Cochofles]

So Mockingjay Part 2 will be THG's lowest grosser, and now this gets early awful reviews and (maybe) eventual flop status. When do we get the first "The Honeymoon is Over: The Rise and Fall of an American Sweetheart" article? Which major pop culture pundit will be the first to blame this on J-Law's essay about not getting paid like her male peers?

[CoolioD1]

seems like russell finally fell off that cliff he's been walking the edge of.

I agree with the miscast part. This was a perfect role for someone like Jessica Chastain.

[CoolioD1]

if this flops I gotta say poor Bcoop. the start of the year was like the biggest moment of his career, and the rest of the year has been determined to be all "fuck you bradley cooper"

[4815162342]

Damn, this throws the Oscar gurus for a loop.

[Cochofles]

Bradley Cooper and Idris Elba as Hal Jordan and John Stewart in Green Lantern Corps. Yes? No?

More age appropriate but not exactly the actress who evokes blue collar entrepreneur.
