aabattery Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I predict a Highlander-esque duel between Saoirse Ronan and Emily Blunt to see who will get the Oscar nom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Emily Blunt seems like she could easily snag a Golden Globe now, but I won’t say anything about the Oscars til we actually approach it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They nominated her for Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, of all things, so we can easily pencil her in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 If y'all wanna predict Ad Astra for picture and director it seems strange to leave out Pitt/Negga/TLJ considering how much of an actor's director Gray is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel M Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I really don't see how a James Gray sci-fi movie is gonna be an oscar thing. Stranger stuff has gotten in the BP lineup this decade, but it's still a James Gray movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 i think it'll be a little more commercially friendly. i don't know what the budget is but it sounds like a real space epic that no one would want to fund if it was a typical james gray movie.

CoolioD1 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 also also 20CF are giving it the same release strategy they gave the revenant/hidden figures/the post the last few years so obviously they see potential there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's the only thing that makes it look like a possibility. But the project looking more commercial than your regular James Gray movie doesn't say much. Lost City of Z did look more commercial on paper too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Black Panther, Incredibles 2, and Mary Poppins Returns all get a BP nom and Disney completes its takeover of the industry on every level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 btw love Ronan and Robbie but my money is totally on Mary, Queen of Scotts being the dud of awards season. Hope to be proven wrong, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Thoughts on Life Itself? Fogelman can be hit or miss, and the trailer looks a bit generic. The September release doesn’t help either. However, This Is Us is definitely winning over a lot of people, and if he can deliver something on that caliber or higher, it may be a potential player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Life Itself is definitely a potential player. I feel like it has that same feel of hardcore sentiment that This Is Us has, and I feel like the trailer, which was more of a TV spot than a trailer, would definitely benefit from more of an actual trailer; in other words, I think thay spot, which was actually aired during the recent season finale of This Is Us, sold the film short, because the film itself looked very well shot, and the actors starring in the film are all notable -- especially Oscar Isaac and Annette Bening. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong, because smaller slice-of-life films historically have a hard time getting Oscar-nominated unless it is undeniably great like Little Miss Sunshine, Juno, and Lady Bird. It might come down to the script, as it arguably did for all three of those examples... Edited March 16, 2018 by slambros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) A lot more people on AW have been reading the Dick Cheney script: It's probably not winning picture and will probably have a decent amount of detractors The main three (Bale/Adams/Carell) could all win Adams has a supporting role but could be frauded into lead Rockwell doesn't have a big role and isn't in much of the film; nothing in the script screams a nomination Slightly spoilery blurb about Carell Spoiler He has a big role in the first act but fades a bit until the ending. If Supporting Actor is tough this year, that may go against him Edited March 16, 2018 by WrathOfHan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
