In regards to the Oscars race, this is shaping up to be the most exciting season in eons.

 

Oppenheimer looks to be nominated broadly across the creative and technical categories. Barbie is a lock for best picture nomination as well, and numerous others. ATSV should be a best picture nom IMO, I doubt it will be, but it's a damn masterpiece of storytelling and animation. Killers of the Flower Moon and Napoleon should both be strong players. Dune 2 could be another Denis Villeneuve masterpiece. There's a handful of brilliant indie films (Margaret, Past Lives) that deserve recognition.

 

Whereas this time last year I was already 100% on board with EEAAO's inevitable widespread victory.

Pretty amazing that Spielberg was able to juggle both Jurassic Park and Schindler’s List at the same time. That’s some GOAT multi-tasking. 

Spielberg actually went off to do Schindler's List during post production of JP and asked George Lucas to supervise on his behalf.

He did it...several times.

 

LOST WORLD, AMISTAD, and SAVING PRIVATE RYAN opened with 14 months of each other.

 

MINORITY REPORT and CATCH ME IF YOU CAN

 

WAR OF DA WORLDS and MUNICH

 

GOAT

Yeah, as awesome as Nolan can be, The Berg could fucking pop out bangers left and right like it was nothing.

 

Obviously it has to do with being involved with every step of the process starting with writing the script and that's great, but it limits overall output to once every few years.  

 

Spielberg getting a script and flipping it into literal art within a year is nothing short of a miracle.

truly the GOAT, and let's not forget A.I. was the year before the Minority Report/Catch Me If You Can double release.

 

EDIT: West Side Story was delayed a year but it's still insane to see that have its first screening in November 2021 and then The Fabelmans shows up at TIFF in September 2022.

This could be the first year since 2018 we get three 200M+ Domestic grossing BP nominees if Spider-Verse gets in and I wouldn't rule it out yet. Might be a stretch but I wouldn't rule out Dune doing 200M yet either I think it will be significantly bigger than part 1. Wonka is my dark horse too. Killers of the Flower Moon is a lock for a nomination and if everything hits I can see smaller movies struggling a bit. Zone of Interest has pretty undeniable reviews and subject matter and in any other year I'd be sure about it but no so much this year. Same with Past Lives. If The Colour Purple, Saltburn and Maestro all live up to the hype it's going to be a bloodbath.

I think past lives gets in any way and maestro just don't feel like a nom is coming its way tbh

Barbie... Oppenheimer... Dune Part 2... AtSV... Could all be 200M+ DOM earners nominated for Best Picture.

I still think making War of the Worlds as quickly as he did is his most impressive achievement, to me. Just insane. It released 7 months after it started shooting!

Add there Sound of Freedom (no chance in hell I guess) and a couple indies and it would be the most interesting and diverse bunch of nominees in a long time.

For me it took a while for it to get going but once it did I was fully engrossed and the last hour maybe the best thing Nolan has done. Everyone has mentioned Cillian Murphy and RDJ but I also wanna say I very much enjoyed Jason Clarke in his role in the film. I do have to say I did find maybe 10% of the dialogue hard to hear unfortunately but at least it wasn't as bad as Dunkirk or Tenet.

 

Can't wait to rewatch this in IMAX.

Don't forget foreign movie (s). Anathomy of a Fall and/or Past Lives have a good shot. Every year now has at least 1 foreign language movie among picture nominees.

Okay, I plead for dual custody of Papa Nolan:

 

First he does his 007 trilogy. Then he does his Star Wars trilogy. Deal? Deal.

 

 

I'd rather he continue to pay homage to Bond in original projects.
