Morieris Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Quote “Until further notice, and for the 93rd Awards year only, films that had a previously planned theatrical release but are initially made available on a commercial streaming or VOD service may qualify in the Best Picture, general entry and specialty categories for the 93rd Academy Awards under these provisions: The film must be made available on the secure Academy Screening Room member-only streaming site within 60 days of the film’s streaming or VOD release; The film must meet all other eligibility requirements We may not have a theatrical release, but by god, Artemis Fowl WILL have an Oscar run! I wonder if A24 is hastily making deals to put Green Knight onto someone's service... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) This announcement is not really that big. Combining sound isn't really much of a deal and saying only films that had planned a theatrical release can be eligible really isn't changing much. It's actually pretty snobbish of them when you get down to it. Edited April 29, 2020 by CloneWars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Trank and his producing team delivered more cuts, and waited for answers. Unlike on Fantastic Four, patience paid off. Vertical Entertainment eventually picked up Capone, promising the director to release his original version in a theatrical run. When the coronavirus hit, plans changed and concessions were made. https://www.polygon.com/2020/5/5/21246679/josh-trank-capone-interview-fantastic-four-chronicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 if tenet being the first movie back actually pays off for them and it's a big success off the back of that then it'll win best picture. if not, if it fails and a bunch of people get COVID and die from tenet screenings then it'll win all the Razzies. my official prediction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the latest bullshit D'Souza "documentary" is set to come out in August in time for all the election stuff so Nolan would have tough competition to beat there. Think the only other alternative for them is Dolittle probably sweeping just for being the other easiest target of this diminished movie year.

Release a "documentary" every 2 years and make money from the investors. It feels like a producers like scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people funding these clearly don't care about making money as much as believing that their (false) message is getting out there, even if it falls completely on deaf ears every single time.

I was talking about Hardy, not the film. “With Tom Hardy giving the worst performance of his career” “But sadly, this just runs out of ideas quicker than the final skit of SNL to the point director Josh Trank literally decides to have Hardy shit his pants to end a scene.” “Very grotesque and dumb” Game over for Trank. As for Hardy, he needs to do more British set movies. Though Venom was fun. Oscar calibre actor he ain't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 he's fine. sometimes pretty bad. maybe only one or two truly great performances but that's maybe hampered by the quality of the films he's often in. his reputation is a little exaggerated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 I like Hardy but he's an actor who needs good directors that will rein in his hammier tendencies. Josh Trank does not seem like the person to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Spike Lee's Da 5 BLOODS will be out on Netflix on June 12.

filmlover Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 7 minutes ago, RealLyre said: would we get Mank or Blonde before the fall? Yeah, for sure. In fact Netflix is gonna have a busy fall. They have: Blonde The Boys in the Band (adaptation of the Tony-winning revival from the same creative team) Hillbilly Elegy Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (August Wilson adaptation with Chadwick Boseman and Viola Davis) Mank The Midnight Sky (George Clooney directed sci-fi movie starring him and Felicity Jones) The Prom Makes sense why they would put Lee's out in the summer.
