These categories are a reach
I can see it getting a Best Picture nomination but it’s not a film heavily basking on acting talent or performances! Very akin to Avtar which is a triumph of cinematic experience and technical department.
They are a reach, but Cruise is mentioned as “oscar worthy” in some of the reviews. It seems the movie gives a lot of depth to his character. Teller and Connelly are getting good reviews too.
ReplyMay 12, 2022 at 8:16 am #1204950024Reviews are out and they are great
Rotten Tomatoes – 43 reviews in – 100% fresh
Metacritic – 34 reviews in – 81 (Universal Acclaim)If this becomes a huge hit (which seems likely base on pre-sales and box office predictions) I think it will have a huge chance with the Oscars
Very likely – Editing, Cinematography, Sound and Song

Other possibilities – Picture, Directing, Actor (Cruise), S. Actress (Connelly), S. Actor (Teller, Powell), Score.March 29, 2022 at 3:05 pm #1204888737Aside from Thirteen Lives and I Wanna Dance with Somebody does there even look like a “populist leaning” film in contention this season? I guess one could say Empire of Light but that also looks like an auteur driven passion project.
Avatar 2 for sure. And maybe Top Gun? If it’s really well received? The last trailer looks amazing.
March 28, 2022 at 8:53 am #1204885727I think I can add this one now:
Ariana DeBose – West Side Story

One of the worst screenplay combo wins ever.
About Licorice Pizza, it seems it had critics and BAFTA support, but no so much from the guilds and AMPAS. It was liked well enough to get noms, but it didn’t have enough passion to get wins.
Also, I think PTA is suffering from something similar to Glenn Close. He is not only competing to other 4 candidates, but also to himself and his past work (which is great). I think that if he doesn’t come with another TWBB with that type of reception, he will have trouble winning.

2020 – Carey Mulligan
2021 – Penélope CruzMarch 23, 2022 at 1:51 pm #1204871762If any of you really remembered Tammy Faye, you would think differently. Jessica was spot on with her.
I actually like Jan Hooks SNL impersonation better
March 22, 2022 at 8:33 am #1204868527I don’t think pta thinks that
I don’t think PTA cares about awards that much either. He cares more about the quality of his work than winning awards.
ReplyMarch 15, 2022 at 1:32 pm #1204852194Hoping PTA gets a very overdue win for one of the best screenplays of the year. And haters can keep hating.
ReplyMarch 14, 2022 at 1:24 pm #1204850134Let’s be blunt: if you were rooting for Ariana DeBose to fail, you’re a misogynist, an xenophobe, and a homophobe. There’s no gray area here. There’s nothing about her performance to dislike.
I dislike how badly she speaks spanish in the film, pronouncing several words wrong, when her character is Puerto Rican.
She still is going to win an oscar, but far from a perfect performance in my book.
