Point of fact Star Wars HAS been nominated for best picture. And TLJ has gotten a ton of critical love for it's intelligence. So why not?vonFiedler maybe next year I'll see enough movies outside my comfort zone to actually make an oscar list. Have marvel/star wars movies ever been up for best picture/best actor before tho?
I know why not. Because they failed to nominate Empire Strikes Back. TLJ won't be compared to other potential nominees, but against Empire. And even though a LOT of critics think it's better than Empire, that's still a big statement to commit to.
There was also legitimate oscar buzz for Logan when it came out and I think it definitely deserves best picture. But the reason it won't get nominated is because Fox would be smarter to campaign for Three Billboards or Shape of Water.
Mind you, my wishlist is an attempt to meet halfway. It's why I excluded the three actual Marvel movies.
It certainly seems that way with how Lego Movie, a historic film that single handedly reinvigorated the animated movie landscape for years, got snubbed. But maybe they've learned from that. And really, this year was sparse enough that I could only nom four movies and that was with the generous inclusion of Captain Underpants. So I think a Lego Batman nom is actually fairly likely.And I thought the academy hated the lego animation studio and excluded them from animation for some reason.
I think he's a good director for cinematography but I can't be too excited by such a faithful sequel. Sort of how I feel about the movie in general. Only Ryan Gosling really stands out.I'm shocked you wouldn't put 2049 on best cinematography :(
Glamorize? Well, it certainly increases its chances by being about Hollywood. But I actually like the Disaster Artist, so I wouldn't mind it winning. If at least an 8/10 wins best picture, that's a win in my book. So realistically, I hope Get Out or Disaster Artist wins over Dunkirk (I guess Three Billboards is actually a top contender now too, which is nice... or it's not a contender?).and what would you think if Disaster Artist wins best picture, repeating last year's example of Hollywood praising a movie that glamorizes hollywood itself
Dunkirk is a baity Oscar film. It's far from Nolan's best film, but his rabid fans have been hounding the academy for years and this might be the year they bite the bullet and get it over with, knowing they'll never seriously have to entertain the thought of doing so again. Quickly people will realize that Nolan won a best picture for Dunkirk and not The Dark Knight or Inception (not to mention his best movies, Memento and Batman Begins), and this will go down in history as another academy failure. For this reason I sincerely believe that Dunkirk will win. I guess you didn't ask me about Dunkirk, but you wanted to.
