CoolioD1 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Usually the now annual foreign film spot comes from a movie from Cannes but I can't pick it out from that line-up. It's actually mostly english language films this year. I would love for either Sean Baker or Andrea Arnold to have a real breakthrough moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 Civil War looking less likely here given more muted late reviews, but Challengers reception seems far more enthusiastic and less controversial so it definitely seems it's gonna be a factor. Question is if Queer comes out this year and also gets a glowing reception if that might split voter camps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestPicturePlutoNash Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Anora wins the Palme It's Neon's 5th winner in a row (Anatomy of a Fall, Triangle of Sadness, Titane, Parasite). 4/5 were BP nominees. Between the seeming accessibility of the film, the international passion and Sean Baker's industry cache, I think this will be his Academy breakthrough 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanic2187 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I was just joking to my friend the other day Anora will win at Cannes because it is from Neon. Didn't expect that turn out to be true for Neon. 5 years in a row of wining. Isn't that a bit too great to be true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 They just got extremely lucky with Titane and Triangle bc those were pretty divisive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem that out there tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Dune isn't getting nominated for acting and possibly not for writing (depending on the competition) so there's that. At the most I can see Villeneuve win director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have it #1 just because it's the likeliest for a nom Gun to my head, I'd say Anora wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I have a feeling Austin Butler is never receiving another Oscar nomination for the rest of his career lmao. At least he'll always have the bragging rights of being an Academy Award Nominee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
