IIRC, these have been their only BP noms since 09: 2019: 1917 2018: Green Book 2017: Get Out 2012: Les Mis If we want to extend that to their Focus branch, they did manage two Best Picture nominees in 2017 (Darkest Hour and Phantom Thread). Speaking of Focus, they aren't going to TIFF this year despite having three potential contenders from notable filmmakers (Todd Field, James Gray, Michael Showalter) in the mix. Although with its release date I imagine Armageddon Time is getting an NYFF premiere, and it seems likely Spoiler Alert will bow there too since it was shot in New York and should be ready by then.

Focus and Universal are different branches so they don't count I think TAR and Armageddon will go to Telluride and probably TAR is a NYFF gala after the Venice premiere. I don't think Gray will be, they can put him in main slate. Spoiler Alert seems too middlebrow for the NY crowd. Maybe AFI or added to TIFF/Telluride later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinocchio is a long shot but Everything Everywhere will not miss. Indiewire always underrates genre films. Did the same with Promising Young Woman. I don't even like the movie but I cannot see how it misses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestPicturePlutoNash Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 The Inspection received the Closing Night spot at NYFF, therefore She Said would be main slate. I can't think of a non gala NYFF WP that received any Oscar noms besides Bridge of Spies (I think Lincoln was gala or secret screening?). Either way, yeah I continue to not feel this movie under any circumstance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxOfficeFangrl Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Maybe the Live Action Short category will be spared tape delay this time... Quote The 14-minute production (watch it here), which Swift wrote and directed a decade after the release of her massively acclaimed power ballad “All Too Well,” screened at the AMC Lincoln Square for one week last fall, from Nov. 12 (the day of its premiere there) through Nov. 18. And while that timing would have precluded it from this season’s best picture race, which requires a release within the calendar year preceding the Oscars ceremony, it works just fine for the best live action short race. The eligibility window of which began on Oct. 1, 2021 and runs through Sept. 30. TIL... Tay Tay's gonna win an Oscar before Jake, and for a video to the breakup song she wrote about him! J/k, I think a lot of rank and file AMPAS members will say it belongs at the VMAs and go for other things. And the Academy decided Good Luck To You, Leo Grande is Oscar eligible after all: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustLurking Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 She Said will probably be an award player based on the subject matter (even though I think it's pretty hypocritical of Hollywood to be making this film so soon when the problem is far from fixed), but I doubt it will win much. The trailer didn't look great and it feels to be going for something too similar to Spotlight, which has already won "recently", I doubt they'll go for it again. Though just for the record, I was dead wrong on Spotlight too. I liked the film but it was probably my least favorite of the nominees and didn't think it would take it. So maybe I'll just be dead wrong again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 Quote A year after eight Academy Award statuettes were controversially presented prior to the live Oscars telecast in an effort to shorten the length of the show, which ultimately failed, it looks increasingly likely that all 23 categories will again be treated equally moving forward. Bill Kramer, the Academy’s new CEO, signaled as much in an interview with the organization’s digital magazine, a.Frame, that posted Tuesday, saying he would like to see “all artistic and scientific disciplines honored on the show” and that “we need to produce an Oscars show that celebrates the collaborative work of the industry.” Oscars: All Categories Could Return to Live Show, Academy CEO Says – The Hollywood Reporter Praise the lord. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxOfficeFangrl Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 So, three movies this year have to deal with their Brad Pitt baggage... Maybe his team will try to spin it that he wanted atone for his own misdeeds and work through his regrets by producing stories like She Said and Women Talking. That doesn't seem to be the leaning of his PR people at the moment, however. And Team Babylon might want to soft launch the Diego Calva push any second now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odds of Brad Pitt and his team admitting to any misdeeds on his part seem pretty much slim to none. They’ll probably just take a page out of a certain other actor’s playbook, and much of the Internet will rally behind him. As for the movies he’s producing, She Said seems like it only would’ve stood a chance as a pat on the back moment for the Academy. Not sure about Women Talking and Blonde, though.

BestPicturePlutoNash Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 The Pitt issue will be a nonfactor. He is still clearly beloved in the industry, has goodwill from Plan B, and Babylon will be a major contender. He literally won an acting OScar for playing a wife murderer in a divisive QT film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
