WB is really getting it together. Can't wait for the 25th

Furiosa is less likely given the prequel nature of it. Beetlejuice 2 may prove good but it's highly doubtful it ends up a major awards contender given Burton's track record at the Oscars and the comedic nature of it. Unless it's a Barbie-level triumph, just not happening

 

I think the dark horse is Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. It could at least steal some technical awards away from Dune: Part Two if it turns out to be amazing.

The previous three were all brutally overlooked by the Academy so I very much doubt things would change nowm

KOTPOTA is testing poorly.

Reviews for this seem so polarizing, critics either love it or hate it!

The second one is not legit and obviously fake. Mendelson's review literally recommends seeing it so it is mixed at worst.

 

But seriously, cherry picking bad reactions while ignoring the swarms of positive ones is something I'm not sure why so many do. That led to many people "underpredicting" RT scores of movies like Wonka and MI7.

[Lucas]

Under no circumstances is Scott Mendelson's reaction a "hate it" situation.

Started re reading the book to get ready… oh boy, the spice is flowing…. also, just beyond weird to be excited for a movie again haha. Last time was… oppenbarbie?

After Oppenheimer wins Best Pic this year, Dune 2 can take it next year. It would be the 2nd Sci Fi film after EEAAO to win in 3 years, so the Academy doesn't have to feel bad about giving it to 2 SF films in a row.

How is Oppenheimer science fiction?

[Derpity]

Ehrlich disliking it is a very good sign audiences will love it, he's often a reverse barometer

how do you get "Oppenheimer is science fiction" out of that?

Can't wait for people to uncritically repost the inevitable Ben Mekler tweet. 👍 

 

(yes, I checked to see if he's tweeted/skyed/threaded)

I didn't quite get to loving Dune even though I loved most elements of it - I liked it very much, but it was a bit emotionally chilly and turgid and geometric for me. People forget how much a movie like Lord of the Rings. BR2049, or even TDK trilogy hit the heartstrings in a way this just doesn't tap into. I doubt this one has that either but if it substitutes genuinely electric political stakes and commentary that'd be a fine substitute!
