BestPicturePlutoNash Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I think Ricardos is safely in unfortunately. PGA+WGA+AACTA Film and Kidman has to be considered frontrunner now. Actors will love it, therefore it'll be on many ballots. They're largest voting booth. It makes sense. It's about Hollywood after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestPicturePlutoNash Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Those McKay predictions were cute. Oscar 5 should be PTA, Branagh, Campion, Spielberg, Villenuve. With Hamaguchi as a possible spoiler, probably over Branagh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 It's becoming abundantly clear that Don't Look Up is looking to get in Best Picture primarily based on starpower and having buzz ever since it started. McKay's gonna have to put out a Cats-level career-stalling fiasco in order for the Academy to fall out of love with him at this rate.

titanic2187 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Seem like PTA nomination for best director in DGA has put a stop for people who is thinking about LP's Oscar hype is fading. But DGA and Oscar never go 5/5 match as most of the time it went 4/5. There must be someone drop off the list eventually. For now honestly I think it is going to be Steven Speilberg since WSS is the only remake among all and could suffer similar fate like Bradley Cooper for ASIB.

Licorice Pizza was never fading, people were so hasty in writing it off for whatever reason. Online discourse has NO real life impact, people should realize this finally. I think if a DGA nom falls out, it's still Branagh. It's the weakest reviewed film, the most middlebrow and least highbrow. Spielberg hasn't missed Oscar after DGA since Amistad. Cooper was an actor making his director debut so there was probably some hesitance. And ASIB underperformed a bit missing Editing as well. West Side is Spielberg's flashiest direction since Private Ryan basically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Yeah, WSS is clearly a Top 5 contender at this point, and Spielberg doesn't miss whenever he puts one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold war was also ignored pretty everywhere but got in last minute, replacing ASIB or GB. Mank was also worst-reviewed BP nominees among but still got in. Now I am thinking Hamaguchi to replace either one but Hamaguchi is a Japanese filmmaker, the non-english best director surprise nomination like Hanake, Pawel Pawlikowski and Vinterberg are all European filmmaker where you can't underestimate Euro block in Oscar voters. And three of them got BAFTA best director nomination before surprise inclusion at the Oscar. Not sure if Hamaguchi can achieve such feat by not getting nomination anywhere but suddenly got in, especially under banner of Janus films Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was his third consecutive Directing nom from Sideways to Descendants to Nebraska. And the reviews were better. It premiered at Cannes so it had highbrow appeal. Same applies for Cold War which won Cannes Director and Pawel was also BAFTA nominated. Even with the weak reviews, Mank was a Fincher film about Hollywood which Academy always loves.

Ozymandias Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Finally watched House of Gucci and I'd say its often flat and sometimes feels confused as what kind of movie its trying to be. I don't think this material is in Ridley Scott's wheelhouse, it feels like a story that Martin Scorsese would've excelled at. Overall its not terrible like the other star studded awards bait movie this year DON'T LOOK UP, but it definitely should've been much better than it is. Its insane to me how out of the 2 Scott movies this year(the other being one of his actual best movies), this is the one thats gotten the awards talk.

Behold the unlimited power and influence of Gaga. Also being one of the very few (relative) bright spots for adult-moviegoing in the pandemic era. I don't think it's getting in for anything more than acting and Costumes though, if PGA didn't go for it it's unlikely anyone else will.

filmlover Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 The Awards Season That's All Over The Place continues. Don't Look Up's whole awards season run proves that the spirit and influence of the HFPA lives on. Or McKay must be protected by dark magic or something. Well, I guess Kidman's not the frontrunner after all. I don't know who is taking home Actress at this point...Haim FTW? Heh (even though she's great in Licorice Pizza). Happy for Mike Faist, but Dornan failing to show up here seems to be the end for his chances. Plemons and no Dunst is also a surprise. Denzel is never getting nominated for a BAFTA award at this point, can't decide if that's hilarious or sad (probably both). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others feel like jury picks Gaga to pull off the win at the Oscars? She's hit all the precursors and her movie actually did okay at the box office, great for a pandemic drama. It would be her second acting nomination, and for a very different role than the other nod. Even people in the industry seem to view her on a different, exalted level of celebrity... I think the predictors would see this win coming from a mile away if not for the Gaga of it all. Of course, with this chaotic season, watch her miss next Tuesday. I mean, Kidman was just the frontrunner and the Best Actress race was done, until these nominations came out. * They really don't like remakes of classics...at least not for awards. Sorry, Steven, should have done a behind the scenes movie about the making of West Side Story and you would've been all good. Odd that Mike Faist finally gets in at BAFTA, given the movie's overall performance there. And the opposite with Bradley and Licorice Pizza, though the BAFTA jury system makes it hard to read much into the acting races besides the Top 2 in any category. Denzel still snubbed at BAFTA. But they got in Will Smith and Mahershala Ali, so it's not a thing against Black American men, just him. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edited February 3, 2022 by BoxOfficeFangrl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just decided to spread the wealth this year and we probably shouldn't discount the chance that WSS might be too "American" for international groups. Same reason why tick, tick...BOOM! likely got completely shut out here - does anyone outside the U.S. know who Jonathan Larson was or what Rent is (looking at the box office total of the 2005 adaptation, which was over 90% from America, it seems the answer is an almost definite "no")?
