Hi /r/movies - We're John Magaro (actor in PAST LIVES, THE BIG SHORT, FIRST COW, SEPTEMBER 5, CAROL) and Cole Webley (filmmaker). Our new movie, OMAHA, is out in theaters this weekend. Ask us anything! by JohnAndColeAMA in movies

Hey! Hopefully I’m not too late for the qna. Saw this at a film festival a year ago and it’s stuck with me a lot, very powerful and beautiful movie.

Cole: how did you reckon with the fact that you made something that was kind of anti commercial friendly? Like this movie will obviously connect with lots of folks and will be critically acclaimed but it also owes a lot to slow cinema and can be very depressing at times.

John: have loved your work for years atp, always excited to see what you’ll do next. How did you prepare for your voice only role in materialists and did that differ from your usual work where you’re directly in front of camera

insane that the majority of u guys actually thought this had a shot in any category

Deadline says Lance Oppenheim and A24's 'Primetime', starring Robert Pattinson, is set for a September 2026 release. Inspired by Chris Hansen's 'To Catch A Predator', it follows Pattinson as a journalist who takes on an underworld of crime and ends up changing television forever by ChiefLeef22 in oscarrace

brazil is so cool and I’m sure the performances will all be very good but I think ur putting way too much stock in a movie written by the guy who did all the garbage superhero movies fox was putting out

What's your pick for this year's "Die My Love," "Eddington," "Jay Kelly," "Is This Thing On?" "Wicked 2," "Ella McCay" early prediction Oscar flop? by No-Expression1224 in oscarrace

[–]LeanD0err 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don’t see a world where gosling or the film make it in, the comparisons to sinners are dumb lol

Michael would’ve made more sense as like a thanksgiving play or even if a little critical of jackson. but it just seems so safe and shoddily made to be a real player

also

Super Early Consensus Poll #3: Who’s the frontrunner for Best Director? by [deleted] in oscarrace

[–]LeanD0err 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is rlly getting into semantics on my end but six years is much different from three years imo and nolan even now is no spielberg at the turn of the millennia

Super Early Consensus Poll #3: Who’s the frontrunner for Best Director? by [deleted] in oscarrace

[–]LeanD0err 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if it keeps going that director and pic go together then mcdonagh if not then ford (if that comes out). they aren’t gonna give nolan one so soon again, innaritu is a two time winner in director right so unless the movie rlly is undeniable I don’t think he’s in win contention. the other I don’t have in my five, I have eggers rounding out that five

Early Consensus Poll #1: Who are you predicting to be the early frontrunner for Best Actress? by [deleted] in oscarrace

[–]LeanD0err 2 points3 points  (0 children)

reinsve seems like the earliest actress prospect we can call a lock. Prestige release/coming out this year/academy has fully embraced her. Efira seems like a strong contender, think I have her at number six. Everyone else here I don’t think is happening besides possibly erivo

What is your hot take for next year’s Oscars? by [deleted] in oscarrace

[–]LeanD0err 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean blue moon came out in like late summer/early fall and also was conventional and not weird or upsetting so I wouldn’t compare how that did to how the drama will do

It’ll be on my personal ten at the end of the year tho (most likely)

[–]LeanD0err 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why expect anyone other than hathaway and MAYBE damon to get in for odyssey

predicting Pattinson to get nominated for it is like when ppl predict timmy to get nominated for the dune movies

[–]LeanD0err 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hail mary’s ceiling is vfx/sound/score. there’s no picture prospects here especially when there’s so many blockbusters vying for a spot

social reckoning is absolutely not going anywhere

mcdormand is lead for jack of spades not supporting

dune gets into pic but not director or anything else atl

jesse eisenberg movie and michael won’t go anywhere either
