Not that shocking after Amazon pushed MGM/UA’s George Miller film Three Thousand Years of Longing to Labor Day weekend, cutting off chances of fall fest play (figure that will also be a negligible theatrical release plus a big streaming push).
With Amazon’s removal of MGM/UA films’ biggest champions (the management purge), the awards quintet of films (including Three Thousand Years of Longing, Bones & All, Women Talking and Till) are now effectively orphaned, with all previously existing plans for their marketing/awards promotion tossed out the window as their adopted parents’ “Amazon knows best” attitude takes hold at the studio.
Unfortunately, when it comes to Oscars, Amazon clearly doesn’t know best, and it’s frustrating to see that Amazon’s square-peg-in-round-whole strategy will likely mean a downgrading of all the Oscars odds for the MGM/UA quintet.
Now, we’ll see what comes next – I’m still figuring that Women Talking and Bones & All (neither of which have theatrical dates set) are still in line to premiere at the Venice fest at the start of September, but it’s a strong bet that Amazon is now rethinking that strategy beyond that, as well as the apparent plan to have Till bow in the Telluride/Toronto cycle before its (still-set-for-now) Oct. 7 theatrical release. In the end, Amazon wants all of these to drive interest in Prime Video, so look to its past to see their future.

Best Adapted Screenplay: David KajganichI don’t think a film’s Oscar chances get hugely impacted if it is a good film (and pushed/marketed rightly by the studio ofcourse)! The thing that worries me about Ron Howard’s next (the same man who directed Hillbilly Elegy in his last outing) is that – it is not an Oscar-worthy film. It is best average

Amazon has so far shown itself to be rather hapless at film awards campaigns, so this likely is going to be seen as a red flag. MGM/UA in the end only did marginally better (Licorice Pizza was its only score ATL, and never seriously contended for BP), but it had the cachet of the theatrical experience (which now, after seeing CODA score with barely any theatrical release, may no longer be that crucial, ofc).

Netflix Eyes Longer Movie Theater Releases With ‘Bardo,’ ‘Knives Out 2’: Report
Netflix is also probably cutting back on staff/budget for awards campaign amid all the belt-tighenting, so this could be a signal that at least among its major potential Oscar contenders, Alejandro G. Inarritu’s Bardo has pride of place, for now.

Why does the fact that Netflix is giving Bardo a longer theatrical release than its usual two weeks or so make you think that it is prioritizing it for an Oscar campaign over Rustin or White Noise or Shirley? The fact that Netflix is giving Knives Out 2 a longer than usual theatrical release certainly doesn’t make me think that it is prioritizing KO2 for an Oscar campaign.
My guess is that Netflix has not yet decided on which films it will prioritize for the Oscars and that it’s possible it has not yet purchased the film or films that will become its top priority or priorities. (The only thing I’m currently concluding is that Netflix is likely to spend less this year on any of its film’s Oscar campaigns than it spent last year on TPOTD’s Oscar campaign— on that I agree with you.)

The fact that Netflix is giving Bardo a longer than usual theatrical release. and it’s Oscar bait – who said KO2 was? That’s on you.
Tightened-up Netflix looking at select special treatment for titles off the bat picks one for bait promo, one to shake the ol’ box office tree – done.
Oh, and… It just picked up Bardo with a clear awareness of what it already has on the NFLX shelf – looks like the place has a sense there’s room for “strengthening” its Oscar hand this season.

Full trailer comes Friday.
Its dumping in theaters on Labor Day week (confirmed) followed by a quick jump to Prime Video (likely) are discouraging signs.
