filmlover Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 BCoop's entire campaign for Maestro will be something to behold. All previous thirsty campaigns are about to be put to shame. Dude wants an Oscar bad. Also excited by the prospect of Oscar Nominee Fantasia Barrino! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Time to bump this with 2022 now concluded. So, after their domination at the ceremony, all eyes will be on A24's slate this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Past Lives has already got huge raves so can see that being the big A24 push. Also interested in Alex Garland's Civil War which has been described as an epic and the biggest scale movie A24 has produced by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just worry that Past Lives will fade with its summer release (like The Farewell ended up doing years back). Hopefully it takes off at the box office Assume they're saving Sofia Coppola's Priscilla biopic and The Iron Claw for release dates in the fourth quarter following potential TIFF/Telluride bows.

Cmasterclay Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Any predictions that don't have at least one if not two international films are wrong. Usually it's one full blown international plus one English-language film from an international artist like Triangle of Sadness. For the latter, Past Lives seems like the candidate. No idea what the true international is yet but we shall see - the next film from the Shoplifters guy is coming at Cannes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestPicturePlutoNash Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 6 minutes ago, CoolioD1 said: miyazaki's year. I genuinely believe this can happen lol. GDT shamelessly went around for months blubbering about how "animation is cinema". Miyazaki is a legend with narrative and if the right distributor picks it up, I can see critics mount support for him that carries over into main categories I think the last few years have proven voters love goodwill and rooting factor. Sometimes that doesn't pan out (Chadwick Boseman, Glenn Close) but Moonlight, Parasite, CODA, Everything... all feelgood movies with lovable actors that voters wanted to reward all year. Fraser beat Butler because he had a helluva comeback narrative and Austin Butler was mostly a newbie. So to me, that says look at the movies people will be annoyingly defensive/supportive over.. I think Past Lives might be up there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, it was just funny and thrilling enough for the self conscious old voters who had voted Green Book the year before and wanted to appear smart after that. I couldn't imagine something like No Country, an ice cold thriller, winning today. Edited March 14 by Cmasterclay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but that's outside of the movie itself. I agree overall the movie is pretty fun, but the ending is bleak as shit, I feel like the a "feel good" movie should have a happy ending?

BoxOfficeFangrl Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 “The intention is commendable, but a lot of the questions I felt uncomfortable asking,” says another producer. “I wasn’t going to write to all the actors and ask what their sexual orientation is. And if it’s not something offered up on their bio, are you really going to say, ‘Hey, are you disabled?’ “ Says one studio source, “We want to look supportive of the effort, but legally, we can’t ask a lot of these questions.” The Academy says there's already been high participation in the program and some poductions are providing more information than required. I guess the intention of the new rules was to get productions to hire more people who are already openly "diverse" vs asking crew members and the PR team if they're LGBTQ or neurodivergent or whatever (which is often not legal, anyway). I doubt they walk the rules back entirely but I predict more industry grumbling as next season ramps up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
