But why? Shouldn’t a teaser give nothing away?

It just didn’t excite me as much as I was hoping it would with its psychoanalytical tease.

The cinematography was beautiful though and I guess if it’s any consolation it hasn’t deterred me from wanting to watch it.

Fair enough babe, have you read the novel? Tbh from what I’ve read of your objective comments on millions of threads in the past I can’t imagine what would put you off watching any movie lmao…

I have indeed! Whilst I don’t really ever read pieces of literature with the idea of how great an adaptation it would make I’ve been looking forward to this film because I found Oates’ book to be a really compelling psycho-drama. Hopefully Dominik’s version lives up!

You’d be surprised how many Oscar contending films I’ve skipped over the years! There’s actually one being released next week whose marketing makes me feel like the epitome of this gif haha.

It seems people didn’t learn the lesson with Spencer and Kristen Stewart. Blonde will alineate audiences and the NC-17 rating won’t help. Before proclaiming Oscar winner Ana de Armas, please read the original novel. It’s the full antithesis of Oscar bait biopic (Rape mentions, baby head talking, menstrual blood references and that’s just the peak of the iceberg). It’s full meta universe about the conception of Marilyn and the real persona of Norma Jean. Pure psychological terror. If somehow Netflix does the magic again, the nom is the reward and we know how Stewart barely made it.

I agree. I doubt an NC-17 could make it

I feel like the NC-17 rating is gonna really hurt Blonde‘s Oscar chances. You know The Academy doesn’t touch films with that rating with a ten-foot pole, no matter how acclaimed they are.

An X rated film has won Best Picture. I don’t think the Academy cares, if its compelling to them, then it’s compelling.

Darling, I hope chicken-shit Academy voters is brave enough to vote this in Picture, Directing, Actress, Supp. Actress, and Screenplay.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

Michelle Yeoh, Everything Everywhere All At Once
Tang Wei, Decision To Leave

James Hong & Jamie Lee Curtis, Everything Everywhere All At Once

Shame just wasn’t a top contender. It was barely nominated for any major category outside of Best Actor at the precursors. It wasn’t because of the NC-17 rating. Y’all are acting like they won’t vote for it JUST because of the rating. If they like it and if Blonde can break through during awards season, they will vote for it. It’s not that deep.
