The first glimpse of She Said seemed very well-received from what very little was shown from it (they'll definitely be hiding the more "scandalous" revelations that aren't really public knowledge for when people see the movie). Amsterdam was also shown its first footage as well. It's always the summer movies that come away with the most buzz from CinemaCon since those are the ones about to come out and the audience being mostly exhibitors getting a taste of what they'll be showing.

filmlover Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 If the movie follows the book I'm not sure how they're gonna make a case for putting either Kazan or Mulligan in Supporting because the two reporters are unquestionably co-leads (Patricia Clarkson is the one locked to go Supporting). Unless we end up with a Spotlight situation where everyone goes Supporting and the subject matter being the real Lead (which you could probably make a case is really how it should be, when dealing with a topic as delicate as the exposure of heinous sex crimes).

The Academy should be more worried about whether the ceremony itself can be saved at this point, especially coming off what ended up being their most controversial year in quite some time (if not ever).

SLAM! Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Distribution wise, Top Gun: Maverick being under Paramount is going to help it. The only other primetime Oscar contender Paramount will be pushing this year is Babylon. And yeah, Babylon is the safer bet for Oscar recognition; but Paramount isn’t in the same boat as Searchlight Pictures, which has to balance Banshees of Inisherin, The Menu, Next Goal Wins, and Poor Things. Paramount gets to consolidate their biggest pushes to two films, and each one has strengths in their own categories; push Babylon really hard for acting and writing, then push Top Gun: Maverick for Sound and VFX. The films are two sides of a coin, and that’s the coin Paramount’s putting down. So Paramount only having to focus hard on campaigning those two films is going to help both of them, I think. Whether Top Gun uses that to get to Best Picture, we’ll see—but PGA is in the cards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all the Oscar players release in December and leg into theaters through January, then a February announcement defeats the purpose of those late releases since theaters might cut an initially low-grossing Oscar film before the academy can even announce that it’s nominated… So the announcement being in January gives Oscar films less time to fall out of theaters and more time to become potential breakouts, which is very good.

First major contender we can strike off the list? It sounds like Amazon wants to take advantage of August's vapid theatrical slate. But an August release date could be damaging regardless of how good the movie is. Plus, MGM has other films they can push for the awards season including Bones & All, Women Talking, and Three Thousand Years of Longing. This decision is a headscratcher because conventional wisdom suggests Thirteen Lives is the stronger on-paper Oscar player than all of those films. Amazon said they did this to make the film a "Summer tentpole" for Amazon Prime, which might work for the service, idk. Now with the timing, Thirteen Lives may not be able to get the film festival buzz it could have. It can't release in places like Toronto and Venice. As it stands now, Thirteen Lives would need an enthusiastic reception on par with BlacKkKlansman to overcome the release date, or the film could die on the vine. It may depend on the amount of the theaters their "limited release" will encompass; some high-profile "limited releases" have ballooned into wider and wider releases. I don't think it's dead yet. Amazon still sounds confident about the film and have clear business reasons for doing it, so their rhetoric doesn't make it sound like a dump. It is Amazon, though; of course they're going to hype up their film, since, well, it's their film, they want people to see it. We'll see. If anything, Colin Farrell, who was in the mix for Supporting Actor, probably has a decreased chance for getting nominated because of this. Edited May 17, 2022 by SLAM!

interiorgatordecorator Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) Howard’s film had received the best test scores in MGM history — earning a 97 in the top two boxes and an 86 “definite recommend”. It was originally set for release on April 15th but then got rescheduled for a prime November 18th date. do they use post-track for test screenings?
