Trailer is just okay but Carell looks great. I’m in.

Now that the SAG stats have been broken (BP/SAG ensemble and Best Actress), I’m looking forward to an unpredictable, exciting season ahead.

LLL is on another level altogether and shouldn’t be compared to ASIB. Maybe Walk The Line would be more appropriate.

Spacek’s role isn’t showy and she’s in a September release. Plus, Searchlight has plenty of actresses to juggle this year (McCarthy, Weisz, Stone, Colman). I doubt it.

The level of delusion in this…

Kidman better focus on getting the nod for Destroyer if she wants her #2. Plus, Boy Erased comes with a bunch of red flags with re-shoots, underwhelming screen test reviews, script reviews and then being dumped in ghost-town September.

THIS.

And the fact that there are people who think that she was “denied” for Lady Bird is just ridiculous. McDormand’s performance was miles ahead of hers. I personally think she was 4th/5th in that mix.

That her character in real life is uninteresting. I don’t know  her that much so I can’t say if the allegation holds water.

From what I heard, Weisz is lead and Stone is borderline co-lead. Stone could be submitted in supporting with Colman. I’d say Stone would get in before Colman but if they both get in, Colman could pose a threat to Adams (I heard Lynne Cheney irl is as vanilla as they come).

Maybe not the Oscars 😉

They both could still pick up some precursors (wouldn’t that make the race more interesting?) And while I understand that Stone shouldn’t be getting a second this fast (just hoping for her third nod if she’s worthy), Weisz is completely different case.

Someone (tyjagi) from AW has read the 1st revision 2015 draft. Just thought I’d share it here too.

“Won’t say much, but script is exactly what you’d expect a Yorgos Lanthimos period piece to be like. Very bawdy costume drama. A comedic King’s Speech. “Cunt” and multiple variations of it (“cuntstruck”) is used more times than it was in Three…[Read more]

Stop being triggered for no reason. Never said October release is bad. I just said Fox MIGHT save one or two movies for Nov/Dec release IF they are to follow last year’s game plan a la TSOW and 3B.

Don’t know how I can put it in simpler way.

Exactly. That means Fox probably saving a couple movies for Nov/Dec releases as their main Oscar vehicles. Like I previously said.

McCarthy is about to surprise us all. But if Fox is playing the game the same way like last year, this film is this year’s BOTS (a Sept release).

Fox might be saving The Favourite, Old Man And The Gun or The Aftermath for Nov/Dec release a la TSOW and 3B.

I’m having a hard time seeing Close winning with an August release. Plus, that film has no urgency or politically relevant and isn’t going to make a ton of money for it to stay in conversation until the awards season kicks off.

This Is Me isn’t even the best song in that movie. Never Enough should’ve gotten the spot instead (unless if it’s not an original?) and would’ve made a fine winner (although I loved Remember Me)

Emma Stone & Darren Aronofsky

There’s a possibility that The Favourite is in Comedy/Musical

Early interview with Weisz and Lanthimos said it’s a “funnier and sex-driven version of All About Eve”
