Rough guess since I’m fairly unfamiliar with what is considered indie

Best Picture

Booksmart

Parasite*

The Farewell

The Lighthouse

Waves**

* They rarely nominate foreign language films, but this is a big breakout and Neon gets recognition by them often

** I’m not sure I actually believe Waves is going to get nominated, but I’m unsure what else would.

Is Marriage Story indie or not?

 

For Your Consideration:

Best Picture: Wolfwalkers

Best Animated Feature: Wolfwalkers

Marriage Story should qualify. It’s American backed, and although Gotham doesn’t have a definite budget ceiling MS spent under 10 million to produce.

First of all. Based on their official criteria for years. Parasite is not eligible, only films that have American directors and/or a American credited lead producer are eligible.

Gothams represent Independent Film and always reference that the eligible films must be made with an economy of means. But, the interpretation seems to be fluid as bigger films like The Departed (Budget: 90M) and Tree of Life (Budget: 32M) all got nominated. The Favourite last year had a budget of 15M and was eligible so Marriage Story’s 18M budget is fine.

OK, swap Parasite for Marriage Story then. Thank you for the clarification! With smaller award shows I’m not very familiar with the criteria, so it’s good to learn.

This is A24’s ceremony:

2018: Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, Breakthrough Actor, Bingham Ray Breakthrough Director Award

2017: Best Actor, Best Actress

2016: Best Feature, Best Screenplay, Breakthrough Actor, Bingham Ray Breakthrough Director Award, Audience Award, Best Ensemble

And these were just the winners.. based on these stats, I’d say Adam Sandler is taking Actor, Awkwafina is taking Actress, Kelvin Harrelson Jr. is taking Breakthrough Actor, Lulu Wang is taking Breakthrough Director and The Farewell is taking Feature

Having not seen Diana I’m willing to place money that this Actress lineup is across the board fantastic.

Marriage Story will sweep this, happy for Pugh getting recognition for Midsommar (Collette won last year iirc) but it’s odd that ScarJo is non-existent here.

The Hustlers nomination came out of nowhere, cool.

Scarlett missing reminds me of Melissa last year.
