Edit: Oh here The folks at @GoldDerby have confirmed with 20th Century Studios that the Untitled David O. Russell film (aka Canterbury Glass), starring Christian Bale, Margot Robbie and John David Washington, has moved to 2022, putting it out of this season's Oscar race. — Erik Anderson (@awards_watch) July 27, 2021 For the best, probably. 20th Century/Searchlight already seem to have full plates for this year and this gives them more time to prepare for whatever potentially unflattering article about DOR is coming.

lorddemaxus Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 14 hours ago, Cmasterclay said: Venice lineup is mildly disappointing but for whatever it is worth it is a better (American) lineup than any Venice prior to 2016. I think it makes sense to hold things back from international fests given uncertainty, which is why I think Telluride and NYFF are gonna be bigger than ever. Also, I just simply think that stuff like Nightmare Alley and House of Gucci and the David Russell aren't ready yet. Not stunned about Blonde getting rejected but what is the other? It can't be Macbeth, can it? 6 hours ago, BestPicturePlutoNash said: Blonde was rejected. I don’t know if Macbeth was (or even submitted) personally It was Macbeth. Another insider had already said a while ago that Macbeth was rejected by a major film fest (but people ignored it because that dude is a massive piece of shit, like Sasha Stone) and now the insider who shared this, Cedric Succivali, is saying it was Venice. The festival programmers just didn't like it supposedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I have my doubts about the Macbeth thing. I know the guy is apparently reliable, until this happened, the buzz had been that it was screening and getting absolute raves - we had more positive word on this than any other contender. I just cannot imagine a Coen brother fucking up a Macbeth adaptation starring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand. It's like impossible to fuck up. Power of the Dog is confirmed for Telluride and Toronto now, so it is clearly this year's Marriage Story/Nomadland "we are uber confident and going to hit every festival" contender. I have Cumberbatch behind Smith and Denzel but ahead of Leo, Cooper, and others based on the role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Duncan Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 So with the new TIFF lineup, I know Power of the Dog is supposed to be a possible contender, but is there anything else we're reportedly supposed to keep an eye out for?

You should especially keep an eye The Worst Person in the World since it has a good chance of being this year's foreign language breakout. Inu-Oh too for the animation category (although Belle is probably a bigger priority for GKids). Edited July 28, 2021 by lorddemaxus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Really surprised they aren't sending A Hero to Toronto. The Humans is a great play and several of the acting performances could be real contenders if the movie isn't too small. (Mass is already having the same problem with being so small in such a loaded year). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 See you next year, Ana. So now she has two movies coming out in 2022 (the other being Deep Water with Ben Affleck) that were made in 2019.

Based on its Cannes reception, I don't see more than those two happening, but who knows. On 7/28/2021 at 11:24 AM, Cmasterclay said: Really surprised they aren't sending A Hero to Toronto.

None of their Cannes titles are likely to be factors in the awards race, and The Green Knight is tech-focused. 11 hours ago, filmlover said: See you next year, Ana.

BestPicturePlutoNash Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Gucci trailer looks.. fun but I don’t think a Ridley camp fest is Oscar material. Even the acting looks off. I’m not sold on Last Duel, either besides acting acting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorddemaxus Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Seems more like Netflix itself was concerned with Blonde's quality and cancelled its Venice premiere (I guess it makes sense why the person who talked about Blonde and Macbeth not going to Venice explicitly said Macbeth was rejected but refused to explicitly say that about Blonde). Quote The film was supposed to have its world premiere at the upcoming Venice Film Festival, only to then be pulled out of the Venezia lineup by Netflix. Recent rumours have pointed towards the sudden move having to do with Dominik and the streaming giant fighting over final cut. https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2021/7/aqk3sp3cyzf6efgkjjgsw66liz36do 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here I was thinking Ricardos was a Netflix film 😅 I think being an Amazon film will help Ricardos if the buzz is there for it. As far as potential awards films, their other stuff is more low-key or limited in where it can go, like Annette, Electrical Life of Louis Wain, and Val. So Ricardos and all its performances would benefit from being Amazon's main awards push. That said, 2021 is just as competitive (if not more so) as other years... Edited August 5, 2021 by SLAM!

BestPicturePlutoNash Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) Updated predictions: Belfast Cmon Cmon Dont Look Up Dune King Richard Nightmare Alley Power of the Dog Soggy Bottom West Side Story Either Ridley makes sense for 10th but since neither look particularly great, I think a cool/passion choice like Last Night in Soho slip in. Anticipating Macbeth will be mostly for acting and French Dispatch for techs. Edited August 11, 2021 by BestPicturePlutoNash 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anticipating Macbeth will be mostly for acting and French Dispatch for techs. I do think Macbeth has a path to a Best Picture nomination, but I agree that it isn't likely to be a winner. It has great performers (Washington, McDormand, Hawkins) and the filmmaking looks innovative, but... It's basically the Shakespeare play in a new coat of paint. And that's not a bad thing by any means. But there's two drawbacks—being something that loses a factor of newness, and being something that may have a barrier to entry for some voters. I think that'll prevent it from winning at the very least. Edited August 6, 2021 by SLAM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorddemaxus Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) Not for this year's race, but seems like we might have another O. Russell situation with Inarittu: Translation: Quote The filming of Limbo, the new film by Alejandro González Iñárritu, has finished. Boy, it is exciting that the multi-award-winning filmmaker returns to Mexico to film. But, on the other hand, I have heard so many stories, so horrible, of that production that everything disappoints me very much. I will never be fought with rigor and demand. But I think there is a fine (and obvious) line between perfection and insanity. Apparently Don G. was always on the wrong side. Will people behave like this abroad? Will they treat others like their compatriots? Anyway ... we'll see what surprises us with who, despite everything, is a great director. And boy does Limbo sound like a very ambitious project in which the Mexican talent (of him and his team) will shine as always; and that, in addition, generated a lot of work when it was most needed ...

BestPicturePlutoNash Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Inarritu is known to be this way. But the industry clearly is infatuated with him and views his on set arrogance as admirable and “brave”, compared to Russell who they seem to look at as unlikable and problematic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Duncan Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Think I remember reports that there was tons of tension on the set for The Revenant. But really, while this might be a mistranslation, this seems more like a David Fincher "do 70 takes for one scene" kind of deal than it is a David O. Russell "yelling at Lilly Tomlin and being a sex pest" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
