Not being able to see Avatar 2 in Imax was my joker moment.

Is this movie gonna be eligible for the Oscars with so many white men in it?

Touch and go on this, there may be a surprise or two with real historical people being changed on ethnicity or gender to gain more OSCAR credentials, MR NOLAN is a smart fellow so you may be surprised and blown away when the film comes out.

I'm going to see this the 2nd week it's out because the first week tickets are pretty much sold out at the 70mm IMAX theater near me. (Regal Mall of Georgia).

Imagine the social media reactions if the Oscar reject a movie base on the ethnicity of the cast, it'd be hilarious, and probably the beginning of the end for that ceremony being relevant.

90%+ of whatever Oppenheimer is gonna collect in India is mostly due to Nolan's brand...these kind of movies barely collect $1M in full run in India whereas Oppenheimer is on track to collect more than that on opening day

I mean, they are never gonna be upfront about it. You can speculate but they will never admit it. Eg. Brokeback Mountain vs. Crash

A decade too late for that.

Isn’t that new diversity rule for Oscar eligibility so broad that it doesn’t even make much of a difference?

Yes I think there are different pathways to meeting the requirements, including internships and such for underrepresented groups. You’ll bet Universal has it covered.

Interesting, the first properly mixed review (non-French).

 

The screenings are happening today so more reactions coming.

Come down to Melbourne

For the new Oscar diversity guidelines there are 4 rules and a film only needs to pass 2 of them. The first is about the actors, which the film won't pass. The second is about the crew, which the film does pass, since it requires minimum of two HoD roles to be from underrepresented groups, and they count women as one of those groups, so Jennifer Lame as the editor and the costume designer, production designer etc are female so they're covered there. The next two are about internships and marketing which they've probably covered I guess, these rules were announced a while ago.
