Kvikk Lunsj Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 If Up can get a BP nod then Inside Out has a chance. Up had the old rules to help it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Up had the old rules to help it. I doubt District 9 or The Blind Side would have finished ahead of it. So it probably would have just skid by. (500) Days of Summer and Moon are the only other two films from that year I could have seen getting a nod over Up. Up would get the 8th/9th slot, just barely. TS3 would still get in, too, at the 8th/9th slot. If the Oscar bait is weak enough, and IO is beloved enough (really would have been helped by a November Oscar season release date), I could see IO getting the 'innovative original blockbuster' nod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intensive Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I think Inside Out needs to have a good BO run in order to be considered for a nom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'm still worried about The Good Dinosaur. In an ideal situation, both are amazing and make it in, but I wonder if Pixar might downplay the weaker film's campaign in order to assure a slot.

pieman Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Yeah I'm not really sure if Inside Out is such a lock. Up and Toy Story 3 got in but they were weak years (especially 2009) and they didn't have the 5% rule then; they could also be going back to 5 nominees. It's a really good movie but it's very cute and kiddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travod Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 If prefer Mad Max I'd probably say IO is more likely but I don't think either is happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, D9 was a much better film than Up and was more politically relevant and we all know the Academy loves that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be sad when The Danish Girl, Joy and The Revenant are the inevitable Oscar frontrunners at least Inside Out and Fury Road appear to be daring and inventive.

Halba Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Agree to Bridge of Spies, Steve Jobs and Hateful Eight, but others don't make sense here revenant made by birdman director, with dicaprio as lead and hardy as support. its a top contender. neither inside out or mad max fury road will get noms. those arent oscar material.

And how sad is that... you have to be a specific kind of film in order to be 'Oscar material'. That jerk Innaritu is a shoe-in, same with O'Russell and Tarantino. The Revenant won't win due to Birdman last year, but I think Tom Hardy will get Supporting Actor. DiCaprio ignored for Redmayne. Inarritu won't get BD twice in a row either. I think Tarantino or O'Russell will get it. Can't forget another by-the-numbers Oscar baity drama by Tom Hooper. In the year of Caitlyn Jenner, I think Redmayne wins 2 years in a row so the Oscars can brag about how 'progressive' they are - even if there's 2 or 3 better lead performances this year. Another vanilla Oscar bait drama by the Spielberg/Tom Hanks combo who used to do brilliant blockbusters (Raiders, E.T., Jaws, JP) alongside brilliant dramas (Close Encounters, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan). This is why the Oscars' legitimacy has gone down the toilet... far too many great films that actually found an audience have been overlooked for 'typical' Oscar bait. And when they do nominate blockbusters, they're almost always bland (Blind Side, American Sniper, The Help, Avatar, etc) Inside Out and Fury Road are easily more inventive than the standard Oscar fare; this year or most years... but you're right. They likely won't be nominated. Well, Mad Max should get 5-6 technical nods and possibly a nod for Theron if the Actress category is bad this year, and IO should get BAF, possibly Sound, Screenplay and Score.

IO doesn't 'belong' in the animated category. Same for Mad Max in the 'technical' categories. The Oscar voters simply won't admit that a few blockbusters or animated films every year (IO/Fury Road, GotG/LEGO/Princess Kaguya, Wind Rises, Avengers/Skyfall, Deathly Hallows 2/Rango, HTTYD, Star Trek, TDK/WALL-E/Iron Man, Enchanted/Bourne Ultimatum/Ratatouille, Howl's Moving Castle/Were-Rabbit, Incredibles/Azkaban/Spider-Man 2, Finding Nemo/POTC 1, Spirited Away/Shrek 1, etc), can be more inspired and higher-quality than their mediocre "based on a true story/war drama/ritzy musical" tripe they nominate every year. Small-scale independent films and blockbusters can both be great without hurting the other. IO and Fury Road missing BP nominations just shows how irrelevant the Oscars are becoming.
