CoolioD1 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 yeah, kinda why i think they won't give it to a netflix movie i think they're gonna wanna show solidarity with the "theatrical experience" considering how much the cinemas are struggling this year. so a blockbuster might win for once. as long as the cinemas actually open again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorddemaxus Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 A new Spike Lee movie getting an Oscar nom seems like a sure bet especially with what's happening right now. Really weird coincidence too that the movie is releasing around the same time as the protests. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does seem like the worst possible year to give it to a Netflix movie for sure. I am not convinced the Oscars aren't delayed to like July of next year and the eligibility period extended to like May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 Soul also has the advantage of being marketed as Pixar's first effort with a black protagonist (even if it seems like he's gonna spend a good portion of the movie as a little green ghost lol) being released in a year when the spotlight on race relations in this country couldn't be more ugly. If it gets Up-level raves I think it's in for at least a nomination, especially in what's looking like a relatively open field (assuming the Oscars still happen this year, of course).

Cmasterclay Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hillbilly Elegy is a dumb ass book for people that want stupid ass takes on politics, and its a cheesy adaptation of it directed by Ron Howard. SO it will probably win. Trial of the Chicago 7 has the cast and the subject matter but no reason to believe Sorkin has it in him. I think Da 5 Bloods might actually do it. Just way too early. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be the group that gave it to Green Book two years ago, but I think the Academy as a collective has to know that a Best Picture win for Hillbilly Elegy in this political climate would be a disaster (assuming that the politics of the film match the politics of the book). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 Quote Late March, or April? When it comes to changing the February 28 date for the 2021 Oscars, the question is no longer if, but when. That will be determined at the Academy Board of Governors’ Zoom meeting on Thursday, June 11 (pushed back from today, June 9). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, I was watching The High Note the other week and you can see a giant billboard for Promising Young Woman during a driving scene. It's the only Focus movie that would've been out by now in a normal world that hasn't been sent to VOD so maybe they are saving it for later in the year to give her a campaign. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got pretty great reviews from Sundance, so you might be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Now that Da 5 Bloods reviews are out and its acclaim is on the same level as BlacKkKlansman, it should be good for a nomination. Being a June release, who knows if it can win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealLyre Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I think Da 5 Blood's best chances of winning would be in supporting actor for Lindo (would prolly be category fraud since I heard he's co-lead but the Oscars like rewarding those type of performances in supporting). and score. could also win SAG ensemble. as for the rest of above the line it will probably get picture/director/screenplay noms, but it's too early to call it winning either of those.

grim22 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 10 Best Picture nominees guaranteed going forward from next year's releases. No specifics on any other criteria like the 5% votes should be #1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxOfficeFangrl Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 It's going to be a fixed 10 nominees for Best Picture starting with the 94th Oscars. It'll be interesting to see these representation and inclusion standards are, and if this turns out the way they hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
