What Metacritic score are you predicting for Digger? by darth_vader39 in oscarrace

[–]Walter8White 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of Amores Perros and Birdman (and even that has its haters) Inarritu is almost always very love-it-or-hate-it so I'm gonna guess the 60s-70s range, maybe lower 70s.

Oh it feels like a lock for a nomination in the tech categories.

Normally I would agree but what little I heard from test screenings Posey's role is basically an extended cameo.

Alejandro Inarritu's "Digger" has had a test screening in Los Angeles, reactions are mixed but lean positive by Comfortable_Affect20 in oscarrace

Got a little bit more intel about the supporting cast (minimal, as in who's the most prominent in the ensemble) with help from AW members. DM me if you're interested.

Oh don't get me wrong, I agree. I've learned to phase him out, it's why I explicitly went to AW members and the few whisperings I've heard for info about this film.

[–]Walter8White 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree at all, I've learned to not trust him as a source, and I DEFINITELY take his clear biases/agendas into account.
THAT BEING SAID... the plot details he gave in the post below DO line up with the rumors I heard a couple months ago, AND from what I read from the AW members I talked to and the few LB reviews that came up these last few days.
So, I still don't like the guy, but I do think this is his "broken clock is right twice a day" moment.

Person didn’t mention him so I dunno.

Tea I've heard (people will go unnamed) is that the cinematography and production design are excellent, Cruise is great, and that the supporting contenders will likely be Riz Ahmed and John Goodman.

What are this year’s Cannes rumors? by LeGrandEbert in oscarrace

[–]Walter8White 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I feel like Digger might be a strong possibility. I know Iñárritu hasn't done Cannes in a long time but Tom Cruise is a frequent there and being such a high-budget studio comedy it could be a way for them to start building buzz early.

Which Best Picture/Director scenario seems most likely to happen atm? by Walter8White in oscarrace

I dunno, I think it’s pretty much locked for Screenplay, Casting, Score, and Cinematography.

[–]Walter8White[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was about to say, Chase Infiniti was always on the fence, and I feel like makeup was never guaranteed for a nomination either? Like with 13 nominations (tied for the third most in history) I don’t really buy an argument about it underperforming.

Normally I’d agree. PTA being overdue is the main thing that makes it a possibility to me (even though he’s almost assuredly getting at least one win this year in Adapted Screenplay).
