Who had Knives Out over TROS in China?  Anyone?  Anyone?

Star Wars was never big in China. I'm not particularly surprised that TROS is performing the way it is there.

Only making $18m in China is pretty abysmal when you consider the first film made $120m there.

Wtf? Once Upon a Time in Hollywood not nominated?

[Viktor Vilotijevic]

I would say Oscar nomination for screenplay is a lock now.

Not eligible for WGA. It'll be nominated for original and likely win but WGA but non-members can't compete. QT, Wang, Almodovar are not eligible.

I'm surprised that Tarantino isn't part of the WGA.

So the film's been nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the BAFTAS.

 

I think "Academy Award Nominee Rian Johnson" is all but inevitable.

Should have got it for writing The Last Jedi, that film really got snubbed from Academy Awards. Should have got Adapted Screenplay.

Excellent. I expect a Best Picture Oscar nomination as well for Knives Out.

[Viktor Vilotijevic]

I doubt it, but I wouldn't be surprised. Over the last ten years that situation of being nominated for Best Picture and just one other thing happened five times:

 

1. "The Post" - Best Picture, Best Actress In A Leading Role

2. "Selma" - Best Picture, Best Original Song

3. "Extremely Loud, and Incredibly Close" - Best Picture, Best Actor In A Supporting Role

4. "A Serious Man" - Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay

5. "The Blind Side" - Best Picture, Best Actress In A Leading Role

 

I can see "Ford v Ferrari" getting a nomination instead.

Craig is definite a shot to get a supporting actor nod in my opinion.  That performance was as memorable as any last year 

[Viktor Vilotijevic]

Nope. Pitt, Pesci, Pacino and Song Kang-ho are lock nominees. Fifth spot is either Hanks, Dafoe or Hopkins.

I wasn't under the impression that anyone from Parasite had any chance at an acting nomination. I'd love it... Just don't see it.

[TalismanRing]

Supporting in male is even more packed than in lead where Lionsgate has him positioned.   I don't see it either for Craig.

 

Knives Out is also worthy of Production Design and Costume Design - and has been nominated in both Guild Awards

 

FvF doesn't look to make any acting categories either at Oscars. It's biggest shot is probably in Sound. 

[aladdino]

was craig even nominated for the GG??? anyway ana has no chance at the oscars noms right?
