SLAM! Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 For at least one Sundance film, the Oscar dreams are over, but the Golden Globe and Emmy hopes can continue marching onward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Amazon just purchased The Report and plans to release it in the third quarter. Have to imagine they'll also be taking it to Telluride/TIFF as well. Adam Driver coming for back-to-back nominations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've really hit it big at Sundance this year, between this and their other purchase, Last Night. They'll be a major player at the coming Oscars; they definitely still have campaign prowess if they can get Cold War that directing nomination.

Morieris Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Since Oscars So White won't be fixed by next year, I'm already stanning for The Farewell to get in. & If Gaga can get a best actress nod, so can Awkwafina! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebeccas Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 They're all paying way too much for these Sundance movies. Maybe one or two will become actual Oscar contenders. Last year all the Sundance movies kind of died on Oscar morning and the only nomination was for a documentary lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hereditary, Searching, Sorry to Bother You, Won't You Be My Neighbor?, RBG, Three Identical Strangers, and Eighth Grade were all Sundance films that did very well for the kind of film that they are. Others like Leave No Trace, Blindspotting, Wildlife, Miseducation of Cameron Post etc. were big critical successes. And it's not like it's out of the ordinary for a Sundance hit to later become an Oscar player (Call Me by Your Name, Manchester by the Sea, Brooklyn, Whiplash, Beasts of the Southern Wild, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Netflix/Amazon inflation is behind that but what can you do.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 So, after seeing this image, and after considering how Disney and Fox have merged, I have to ask. How much more of a chance do films like The Woman in the Window, Ford v. Ferrari, Ad Astra, and Call of the Wild have at gaining a leg up when it comes time for the Oscars? We all know about the relationship between Disney and ABC. It's an interesting thought, to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know about the relationship between Disney and ABC. It's an interesting thought, to say the least. I doubt The Woman in the Window is really going anywhere aside from Adams. A few mentions here and there for her ala Emily Blunt in The Girl on the Train is the best case scenario probably. Ford v. Ferrari is opening in the same spot where Widows ended up foundering last year but I imagine the combo of Bale and Damon (crazy to think this is the first time they've ever crossed paths creatively) and some action pieces will ensure this is a bigger deal than that movie was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it confirmed those jobs will be made redundant? If not, Disney could still keep that division of Fox running since it's a lot stronger than they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 The handling of the Fox Searchlight movies will be the most interesting part of Disney's takeover. Jojo Rabbit seems likely to debut in November/December like Three Billboards, The Shape of Water, and The Favourite did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanic2187 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I won't rule out the possibility of Disney ended up sell off Fox Searchlight. It wasn't really synchronize with the Disney family friendly tent-pole/ blockbuster oriented strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, they want more awards recognition and the movies they actually produce aren't cutting it (Black Panther aside). I can see them keeping Fox Searchlight around as long as they bring in the awards attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
