SLAM! Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 So despite it's raves, I don't think Wonder Woman is Best Picture material in the long run. It's a great one, but not quite. But I'd love to be proven wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Wonder Woman is progressive and the first female superhero movie. I can see it getting a few token tech noms, maybe even a win.

filmlover Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Dunkirk and Detroit are really the only movies from the summer months that have even the slightest possible chances at Best Picture nominations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I can't decide if those would be simply the most boring Oscars in ages, or the most interesting in how boring they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 That's the thing, just generally I'd expect them to hit the not-that-banal, not-that-cool middle ground between "Spielberg and Meryl Streep win for an Important Drama based on a true story" and "Daniel Craig wins for playing a character named Joe Bang in a heist comedy". Dafoe and Pfeiffer would fall there I suppose. Oldman too but Joe Wright has had a pretty iffy track record recently. BTW, has anyone picked up You Were Never Really Here yet? Given the raves from Cannes you'd expect Phoenix to be in the mix, possibly the movie itself too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only think it's getting nominated for BP, Actor, Production Design, and Costume Design (maybe makeup too) because KST has nothing to do and Mendelsohn's role is limited.
