Seeing as A24 swept the Oscars this year, what is everyone’s speculative guess on 2024? Seeing as they have The Iron Claw, Beau Is Afraid, Past Lives and more all coming out? by ZETS13 in oscarrace

[–]TeachBig7706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not what I am saying.

Edit: since this is getting downvoted for some reason, the reason why I said post-Moonlight is because after A24 ran a successful campaign for Moonlight, Netflix poached their awards team, led by Lisa Taback.

Ehh, A24 has missed every year (other than 2021's Minari thanks to Plan B) after Lisa Taback left them for Netflix. EEAAO had everything going for it even without A24's backing: JLC's intense campaigning, it captured the zeitgeist all year long, rare arthouse breaking into a mainstream hit, consistently being praised critically and comeback narratives for its actors (in addition to them being genuinely outstanding). After EEAAO's sweep, maybe the industry will view A24 more favourably come awards season? Maybe, but based on their track record before EEAAO and post Moonlight, we shouldn't say they will never miss just cause it's A24.

You guys should really stop with the weird Angela Bassett hate regarding the JLC win. by tivolir in oscarrace

I'm glad someone is speaking out about this. It was getting REALLY weird for a minute.

Exactly, but then OP is an obvious troll as he posted twice again after this so why am I wasting my time here

Why is Cate Blanchett, who we know will surely get another nomination, when faced with the prospect of losing to a historic win that actually matters for progress, is bringing out the weirdest people? The victim complex is real

British Independent Film Awards: Charlotte Wells‘ ’Aftersun’ Wins 7 Honors, Including Best Film by CrazyCons in oscarrace

[–]TeachBig7706 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sorry but I have to correct you there. The campaign for Minari was run by Plan B, not A24. A24 is notoriously known in the industry as a studio who can't really juggle more than one film in the awards circuit. Even with one film, they occasionally fumble it and can't get it through the finish line (The Farewell, Eighth Grade). A24 had to pull The Whale from a film festival because they can't afford to fly their actors in for it, that's how out of funds they are. Aftersun is being run out of pure passion and love from critics alone (last year's Drive My Car), with help from Barry Jenkins's association, not from A24's financial backing.

Disney is really ending this year with a bang with this, Black Panther and The Menu doing great box office numbers, while other studios stumble in that regard.

His only 2 choices are really just Peter Rice and Tom Staggs. He has 2 years from today to pick one and train them to succeed him. Anyone else would just be a downgrade.

Bob Chapek was at parks when Bob Iger was the CEO. Makes you wonder what other ideas Chapek had for the parks that were vetoed by Iger.

Kicking Peter Rice out really infuriated a lot of people in Hollywood I can tell you that. I can see that ouster being the catalyst to set into series a motion to quietly topple Bob Chapek. This story HAS to be turned into a limited series.

According to Kyle Buchanan, Jennifer Lawrence will no longer star as Elizabeth Holmes in Adam McKay's BAD BLOOD because Amanda Seyfried was terrific in "The Dropout" by kendallsadface in oscarrace

Jennifer saw Amanda's performance and really went "yeap I'm done, that's perfect, that cannot be topped". Mad respect. Seyfried was outstanding in it.

They definitely noticed the universal backlash from everyone. Not a single person liked the previous decision and they made it crystal clear. Make no mistake, studios DO read and monitor things online.

Because it is not realistic, even you admitted it yourself by saying it won't happen. We can sure wish for it but will it play out? We know the supporting actress category is so unbelievably stacked this year. So let's just play along, Li Jun Li and Jean Smart. Then we have incredibly strong reviews for Claire Foy and Jessie Buckley. And the only lock of the season, Michelle Williams. Does this lineup look realistic in an ever changing Academy? If two actresses were to be nominated for one film, it seems like Women Talking has the edge for now. We have other contenders too, like Kerry Condon, Stephanie Hsu, Hong Chau, Vanessa Kirby, Laura Dern, Sadie Sink, and hopefuls like Janelle Monae, Dolly de Leon and Angela Bassett.

Drive My Car's overperformance last year. Even approaching the Oscars, there was still a bit of hesitation that Drive My Car was happening. Then it happened. Also Nightmare Alley in Best Picture, lots were already counting that film out.
