The Souvenir isn't coming anywhere near a Best Picture nomination (The Farewell is already on track to make significantly more money and will be A24's main push) and neither is Rocketman or especially Frozen 2 (if Inside Out couldn't manage a Best Picture nomination, why would this?).

To be fair, I'm sure that, in a ten film field, Inside Out could have surely gotten a place in the Best Picture lineup, and how close it got in a pretty strong year for film is pretty noteworthy in and of itself. I think Frozen 2 will depend on the competition, but you're correct in saying there's a ton of things against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAM! Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 4 hours ago, maxalcamo said: Why Beauty and the beast and why not The lion King. Who knows. I'll speculate. The other Best Picture nominees in 91/92 were Bugsy, JFK, The Prince of Tides, and the eventual winner, Silence of the Lambs. From the outside looking in, it seems like it was a weaker year than others--we don't frequently refer back to a film like Bugsy--so it's easy to see why Beauty and the Beast, a film commonly referred to as the best animated film of all time, was able to secure its spot. Meanwhile, the 94/95 nominees showed much more strength all across the board. Three of the best films of all time were in that lineup: Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, and The Shawshank Redemption. Three undeniable classics. That doesn't leave room for much else. So if the Academy is famous for fixating itself on films the commonfolk forget after many years like Ordinary People and Out of Africa, then yeah, they're gonna fill those last two nominations with Quiz Show and Four Weddings and a Funeral. And I'm sure those films are deserving in their own right--we know from the Big Three of the year that 1994 was a landmark year for film. But yeah, The Lion King's miss was definitely an upset. Maybe it was the romance of Beauty and the Beast that spoke to the Academy. Maybe it was the historical setting. Maybe it was because the film, the kickstarter of the Disney renaissance, showed audiences breathtaking animation and visuals they've never seen before. And maybe The Lion King was deemed simplistic in comparison. But just because The Lion King wasn't nominated doesn't mean it didn't deserve it, and it doesn't mean we can't hold it dear to our hearts.

The Irishman, The Goldfinch, and Gemini Man aren't expected though. Edited July 16, 2019 by CoolEric258 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAM! Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 One thing to consider about the Oscar race is that it already seems like the race for Original Screenplay is much more exciting and contentious than the race for Adapted Screenplay. Original has OUaTiH, The Farewell, Harriet, the new Baumbach movie, Parasite, The Lighthouse, and a lot of other films in the running. Meanwhile, the two biggest threats in Adapted are The Irishman and Jojo Rabbit. Of course, The Aeronauts can be a sure thing if they put it in Adapted. And I hope The Goldfinch is good so it has a chance at getting the Adapted nom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 A September release date bodes total doom for Ad Astra and Goldfinch, that's a total dumping ground. Real shame too - love Ad Astra's concept/trailer (not to mention its fans @aabattery @CoolioD1) and Goldfinch because I loved the book. If they were releasing at better times they'd be two of my most anticipated of the year. According to Tapley, Just Mercy is an absolute banger and it should be getting a limited Christmas release soon. Thinking about slotting Jordan into my predictions there with Banderas, Leo, Kaluuya, and whichever Ford v Ferraii guy is better. I think Banderas probably takes it home finally, I am not convinced the Irishman is an actual movie that exists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's opening in the same spot that Pitt's Moneyball did in 2011 and would likely be opening the first weekend of October like Gravity/The Martian/Blade Runner 2049 did if Joker hadn't already claimed that date.

Cmasterclay Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Annnnnd Just Mercy just moved to Christmas - officially slotting it in as a contender. I wish I thought that about Ad Astra but I can't remember the last legit contender that dropped in September. I know it's only a few days on the calendar but nothing but mother!/Battle of the Sexes/White Boy Rick/Black mass style disappointments over the past few years. Maybe that's just a coincidence, idk.

CloneWars Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) I am going to go out on a limb and say Cats gets in for the lolz. It just needs 5 percent of the votes. I see it happening already. Edited July 20, 2019 by CloneWars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Cats somehow finding itself a major contender (or nominated for anything, really) after that bizarre trailer after The Danish Girl scored a handful of nominations including an acting win for some reason would probably be all the proof we need that Tom Hooper has pretty damn powerful dirt on everyone in the Academy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Between a 100% RT score and how well it's doing in limited release so far, The Farewell seems to have announced itself as the first movie released to officially be in the hunt for a Best Picture nom and other noms (like Screenplay and Actress for Awkwafina). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
