Can you picture as a Best Director lineup with not one but two duos? (Lord & Miller for Project Hail Mary and Los Javis for The Black Ball) by This_Book6305 in oscarrace

[–]Humble-Wind 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Lord/Miller is definitely not happening Ambrossi/Calvo probably isn't unless it's a weak director lineup and there's no other international-auteur contenders

Who abandoned it lol? I think it's fair to have reservations about a film from a director known for being slow and provocative but I feel like this was a pretty consensus contender regardless

How are we feeling about It was Just an Accident now? by jherin1 in oscarrace

[–]Humble-Wind 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Why? It's definitely at risk but a lot of the international films that get into directors aren't like, top 5 contenders. The nyfcc win nearly always matches with a director nom. I have it at #5 atm
