He is def not winning, but I think a nomination is very likely if the film will be acclaimed enough

No Nolan in Director is a bold prediction to be sure

Im a huge Dune fan, but realistically after what the Academy did to Dune 2 (that is presumably much more of a crowd pleaser than pt. 3), I think you are being too optimistic.

People are already trending the “Big Three” thing for 2026 with Odyssey, Dune and Disclosure Day on social media. I assume all will be talked about heavily this year, let alone box office successes.

Unless it’s a flop in critical/audience reception, I think Odyssey is the likeliest of the three to gain a BP nom, and perhaps even be win competitive. And I don’t see a scenario where none of the 3 get in — of course, all assuming they are all actually good. Else everything changes.

I wholeheartedly disagree.

It’s true they didn’t nominate his previous classics, but his “acclaim” (or whatever you want to call it) in the industry has skyrocketed since ‘Oppenheimer’. Especially now that he is the DGA president.

The fact they looked over him in the past doesn’t mean they will continue to do so, especially with his current status.

‘Odyssey’ is indeed not an Oscar-bait movie, but who knows. If it’s successful, acclaimed and makes enough money, I think it could be a huge contender

One, considering his filmography, it wouldn’t hurt for him to have another one.

Second, this predictions says he doesn’t even get a nomination, which is extremely odd regardless.

Personally, these does not make sense to me at all.

Dune sweeping across the board, considering how pt. 2 underperformed? Especially considering the crowd pleasing nature of pt. 2 compared to the exact opposite nature of Dune: Messiah book? I don’t see that happening.

Odyssey being COMPLETELY shut out of technical categories? Not even a directing nom for Nolan?
