WrathOfHan Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 This is very premature talk of a King sweep. Let’s not forget Metcalf was basically dominating critics awards last year and Janney swept the industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Ehhhh I gotta agree with Han here. Metcalf was just as strong last year as King for a movie that looked just as strong as Beale Street overall. I really WANT King to win because she's amazing, but......yea. I certainly wanted Metcalf to win too over that hackneyed Janney performance, too. Also last year, it looked like Timothee Chalamet was going to be a real contender to challenge Oldman, just like Hawke and Mortensen this year. But then the biggest award shows came, and Oldman started to sweep everything up and dominate. I could easily see the same thing happening with Cooper. Actress and Supporting Actor are more up in the air. Actress reminiscent of the 2016-17 Oscars when Stone was the slight favorite, but you could definitely see Huppert winning it. Supporting Actor, who knows. Edited December 8, 2018 by Cmasterclay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 i feel like the globes are gonna give supporting to mahershala cos he didn't win for moonlight and clearly they loved green book, and then the SAG/oscars are just gonna follow their lead and he'll win both again.

It should be nominated. It's one of the best movies of the entire year. But idk if the YA stigma is what is holding it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had really tapped into the zeitgeist in a major way, I think the industry would have to take it more seriously; alas, it just performed without much fanfare. And that's a damn shame because the movie is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to gross more than stuff like Beale Street, Roma, among other potential BP nominees though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More people will probably watch Roma in its first weekend than the amount of people who saw THUG in theaters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my overall point is that sub-30M movies aren't just snubbed for Oscar attention because they grossed sub-30M. Look at Room, CMBYN, Phantom Thread, Hell or High Water, heck even Moonlight grossed less than THUG.

Fair or not, they seem to be held to a different standard than prestige-y art house fare that is hardly ever expected to make much money.

CoolioD1 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 some scores not eligible for Best Score. none were really a threat to get nominated. apparently Solo isn't eligible just because they forgot to submit it before the deadline. the hits just keep on coming. https://variety.com/2018/music/awards/scores-ruled-ineligible-for-oscar-green-room-solo-1203085221/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
