fishstick Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 You guys have too much faith in 12 Years A Slave. AMPAS doesn`t give a shit about some Irish slave. Plus this is by Steve McQueen who never had a movie in wide release. All his stuff dies in limited. This will pick up bucketload of British and European awards nominations and die. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I've been told it's on TWBB level of amazingness. Obviously one has to take that with a huge grain of salt but I think it could do very, very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackO Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Tom Hanks for Captain Phillips or Tom Hanks for Saving Mr. Banks? I think we got a Leo 2006 scenario on our hands. Didn't have Hanks since I read Emma Thompson was lead in Banks so he could slide in supporting. Will have to wait for more info before climbing aboard.

CoolioD1 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I thought it was the other way around? Nope. Either way, Tom Hanks as Walt Disney is gonna be something irresistible to the academy even if the movie is crap, like Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela or Meryl as Thatcher.

4815162342 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I thought it was the other way around? I heard they were co-leads, since the entire premise is Hanks using all tactics to woo Thompson into letting him use her work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Having read the script I'd say Thompson is a clear lead and Tom Hanks is a "could go either way" they'll probably push lead because he's Tom Hanks playing Walt Disney but if the competition gets too tough they could definitely push him down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously one has to take that with a huge grain of salt but I think it could do very, very well. Nope. It isn`t an American story which is what TWBB was. AMPAS won`t give a shit especially since slavery movies, such as Lincoln and DU, were already nominated and awarded in some major categories this year.

Jack Nevada Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Tom Hanks being nominated for best supporting actor seems like an oxymoron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I could see that happening. Stiller's known more as a comedic actor though, that might hamper his chances a bit. Comedic Actors who turn to Drama do better when that turn is a supporting role rather than leading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
