They also agreed SPC handled the film poorly and didn't capitalize on the film's buzz -#OscarsSoWhite is not a factor in their final vote, but still believe work needs to be done (Two Asian voters cited Hong Chau's snub) Quote For one actress we spoke to, her only major issue with the film was a miscast supporting role. “I do love Three Billboards, and it’s surprising that Martin McDonagh didn’t get nominated for Best Director, but what the hell is going on with Abbie Cornish’s accent in that movie?” said the voter, singling out the actress who plays Woody Harrelson’s wife. “She doesn’t have an Australian accent in the first half of the movie — only in the second half. Did she leave the town and come back? I met Martin at the premiere and I wanted be like, ‘Um, I was available to act in this.’” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 I just read the article and I actually agree with the sentiment that SPC kinda mishandled CMBYN even after the nearly year's worth of buzz and monstrous opening numbers. Does feel like they never really tried to push it into the mainstream. A better studio likely would've gone more out of the way with things like getting Armie to host SNL, etc. I'd say it's done well (gonna end up nearly doubling its pre-nomination total) despite them, considering Whiplash was similarly mishandled three years earlier and stalled at $13M.

CoolioD1 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 honestly i totally called that call me by your name run when people were jerking off to it's opening weekend PTA. every year people overestimate awards movies and the awards movies seem to do less and less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Also I watched this again earlier in honor of the one year anniversary and it's just as hilarious as I remembered. Only way this ever gets topped in sheer craziness is if someone has a stroke at the ceremony. Those pics of the reactions of all the famous people in the audience as it was all going down will always be iconic.

Based on how their movies have performed over the years they seem to believe that big PTAs and expansions alone create awareness and interest. And they haven't learned anything even following obvious screw-ups like Whiplash. Searchlight or Focus would have actually, y'know, promoted CMBYN and probably gotten it to double its current gross off of the same initial numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed opportunity to give GDT the Scorsese treatment This is because McConaughey is presenting to Nolan clearly.

Jake Gittes Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Walken might present original screenplay or even picture since he has the McDonagh connection. All I really want from him is to bust out some moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 McConaughey is probably presenting Actress as Casey's replacement, I'm guessing. Something tells me Ashley Judd is doing one of the big awards, being one of the main faces of #MeToo and all. Maybe even Picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
