@@nivarad The razzies are terrible and Madame Web does not deserve to be in them. It was a better movie than that and I enjoyed it more than the "masterpiece" Dune part 2 personally.
There are three important differences between Joker: Folie á Deux and other superhero movie sequels: Joker did get a director nomination, Joker did WIN an acting oscar and (the most important one for a potential Best Pic nomination) it's not a 08/15-sequel. The inclusion of Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn alone is genius, but to make it a musical... I believe this is a brilliant idea and fits perfectly to the chaos, the predecesor started. And don't forget Joaquin Phoenix, who doesn't do sequels lightheartly...
They've said its not a musical, just has some scenes of him & Harley dancing to the score like the first movie. People who worked on it said they have no clue how that rumor got started
I've been waiting for this! It's always the most fun of the predictions, as this is the time people can really show their understanding of awards prediction
Probably my favourite video of the year, both because it’s fun to just throw out guesses that’ll probably be wildly wrong but also because it gets me excited about upcoming films
I can see Wicked missing on the big awards, but I think Song, Costume, Production Design, Makeup and Hairstyling are good bets. At least this early on.
Yeah I feel like a lot of people who maybe aren’t as into musical theatre are underestimating it, like sure it might not get anything ATL but I don’t think you can just totally write off a film of one of the most beloved musicals of all time. I feel like on its worst day, it’s probably Joel Schumacher’s Phantom of the Opera, which still got three tech noms
Ralph Fiennes has been nominated for 2 movies that SWEPT the Oscars (SCHINDLER'S LIST and THE ENGLISH PATIENT), and in both cases he lost. Talk about tough luck!
we could see a race similar to cillian murphey vs. paul giamatti, where colman domingo is in the big oscar darling film and can win even without a narrative, and ralph finnes has a bit of a narrative, but the performance is also excellent and awards worthy like domingo. it could be another case where both frontrunners are unanimously liked and both deserving, and maybe this time the narrative coupled with the great performance will triumph
The one thing to maybe keep in mind about Juror #2 is that this officially Eastwoods final movie. If it’s good, I could see a narrative rise up about praising him just one final time
La Cocina needs to be in your lists. Best Picture, Best International Film (Mexico), Best Director, Best Actress - Rooney Mara, Best Actor - Raúl Briones, Best Adapted Screenplay. It does not have US distribution yet but the English-speaking press loves it.
I don't think that La Cocina will be eligible for International Feature. There is also English spoken in the film, probably more so than Spanish. But I could be wrong.
I just saw PROBLEMISTA last night and Tilda Swinton was SPECTACULAR 🎉! I wish films like these would catch the eye of the academy and critics. It has amazing reviews too. ❤❤❤
Adam Elliot’s (director of Mary and Max) next feature film Memoir of a Snail is coming out this year. Should be a contender for best animated feature if it’s on the same level of quality as his other works. Curious to see what the release strategy will be though.
If the academy could choose a film that is not inside out 2. I think memoir of snale could pull a win consider is from a oscar winning director( even if mary and max deserved one). But i could see it wild robot,most precious of cargoes or Lord of the rings animated film winning if the academy dont want to award a sequel next year
@@savvastoynoysidis360 I'm not ruling out the possibility that it'll turn out good, but to claim it can replicate the cultural, box office and awards success of Maverick is kinda delulu imo
You should look up Wicked BTS pictures because they most definitely didn’t fall on “blue screen syndrome”. They for sure used a ton of CGI but it’s also made with practical effects, full size sets built and flowers planted and everything. I don’t know if it’s gonna be Oscar bait, I doubt it, but I’m super hopeful we’ll get a great musical movie for sure (I trust Jon Chu).
13 Lives is similar to Last Breath, was well-received and weirdly did not become an awards thing. But I have high hopes for Last Breath, love the cast.
@@seankoontz4235 Word out of SXSW is that it is a masterpiece and rivals Dune Part 2...sounds like it could be an Oscar movie. Don't forget Ex-Machina was Oscar-nominated for its screenplay and won for Visual effects.
Especially given that despite "polarization" (what polarization?! 91 on RT, 77 on MC is not really POLARIZING!)-Kirsten Dunst is uniformly singled out by even the biggest critics, as well as Cailee Spaeny, Sound, Cinematography, & VFX. I mean...c'mon. The critics who love it REALLY love it. Its lowest score on MC is a 60. That's the LOWEST and it's being discounted?! Ridiculous.
Even with the strong reviews, I also find it hard to believe *two* films released before May will both get in. I know the release window has been shaken up a little the past few years but never like that
I was pretty unimpressed by the stage production of The Piano Lesson. Great performances by Jackson and Washington but I'd be surprised if this is nominated
Queer could be All of Us Strangers pt 2 or Call me By Your Name pt 2 with a BP, Actor, and Adapted Screenplay. Even drew Starkey could “almost get a supporting actor nom” like Armie hammer almost did. Let’s hope it’s more like CMBYN than AoUS.
Having read the book Queer is based on, it is nothing like either of those films in terms of tone and appeal. If Guadagnino does justice by Burroughs (which I don't think he will - especially since David Cronenberg tried and failed in the 90s), then this film is going to be sardonic and experimental and will be explicit in its sex scenes - it will be too off putting for the prudish AMPAS voters to embrace.
Knowing a bit about the composer of The End, he's not your typical golden age Broadway musical composer. His most notable work was a bit operatic, very eccentric, dissonant. This is very likely going the way of Annette instead of Chicago.
I’m very confident on Apex, the new Joseph Kosinski film about F1 and starring Brad Pitt. Follow-up to Top Gun Maverick; a technical marvel that demands to be seen on the biggest screen possible; possible huge BTL player; following a sport that’s blowing up like crazy on the USA and has high profile people going crazy over it like Ryan Reynolds? Its floor is Ford v Ferrari at the LEAST IMO
Also re: saoirse ronan in BLITZ- I think she’s the lead of the ensemble in the same way Tom Cruise was the lead of the ensemble in MAGNOLIA and Ronee Blakely/ Lily Tomlin in NASHVILLE. Basically, I don’t think there’s a *lead* to BLITZ, but Saoirse is the face of it. Also we know that Steve McQueen can get a Supporting Actress win like he did with Lupita Nyong’o. Stephen Graham could be Michael Fassbender maybe?
I read the nickel boys earlier this year(highly recommend) and it sounds like the movie will be slightly different from the book & I hope it doesn't steer away from the most important events in the book to make it "hollywood"
This might be a dumb question but how do people already know that Sing Sing is gonna be an oscar contender when it hasn't released yet? I don't understand.
Any predictions on which non-English language film(s) will make the Best Picture lineup? The last 6 years in a row has seen at least 1 non-English language film nominated (3 did it in the recent ceremony, marking the first time that multiple films made the lineup).
If your predicting kinds of kindness, remember the only anthology films nominated for an Oscar besides ballad of buster scruggs are all old or international, like 21 grams, Fellini satyricon, kwaidan, paisan, California suite, yesterday today and tomorrow, la ronde, and the red violin Or movies like pulp fiction, the hours and babel which are barely anthology
So do your research, because there’s been a lot of coverage on Wicked: Part One about how most of the sets and stunts are real: they planted thousands and thousands of flowers for a set, they built a entire real train, Cynthia and Ariana have done most of their own stunts
Been thinking about WB’s biggest three contenders being Dune, Furiosa and Joker which are all in the same universes as previous best picture nominees with 10+ nominations and a few wins as well. My prediction rn is that only one of them makes it to best picture. I do see all three getting similar techs as their previous films but I see only Dune 2 making it into picture. If it keeps this momentum for a blockbuster in a way that Oppenheimer and Top Gun Maverick just did and does that for the rest of this year, it could be a very strong front runner. I do see Joker not being as strong potentially. I honestly see Joaquin getting snubbed but Lady Gaga nominated cuz as we saw with Barbie, maybe they don’t typically have to nominate the lead if they go for the supporting performance. And idk how often the academy has nominated an actor for playing the same character two times. But Dune 2 feels like the only WB picture lock rn to me.
May i make the case for an outsider? Perhaps not an oscar frontrunner but a definite critical darling that might pick up steam... on the set of Oppenheimer, Cillian Murphy got chatting to Matt Damon about wanting to make a movie based on a book called Small Things Like These, written by Claire Keegan, who wrote the book that the Irish movie A Quiet Girl is based on. Matt Damon asked could he produce the movie. Cillian Murphy stars in it opposite his buddy from his theatre days, Eileen Walsh. The director they got made a critically acclaimed tv show called The Responder. And it was adapted by Enda Walsh, the playwright who helped launch Murphy's career. It's got all the right ingredients. The plot is a bit like Spotlight, but it's about a man uncovering religious abuse in 1980s rural Ireland. Premiered at Berlin to a standing ovation.
A24's Mother Mary: Best Picture Director- David Lowery Original screenplay Cinematography Production design Hair and makeup Original song- jack antonnof/Charli xcx Best actress - micaela coel Supporting actress - Anne Hathaway and Hunter schafer
@@ryantrent2114 I wasn’t saying that as a bad thing just that there are a lot of sequels and remakes of previously nominated movies coming out this year.
Im also in the belief that Joker 2 makes it to best picture nominations. Could be really inventive and there is already a level of prestige that other comic book related movies do not have. Gladiator 2 is definitely missing. Ridley Scott ship has sailed. Ultimately, this year is up for grabs. Maybe an indie movie rises. There must be another American Fiction/Anatomy of a Fall type movie which nobody is aware of before they hit the festival run. That is where the really interesting awards season news happens
megalopolis could be something like maestro or elvis, where's it's divisive among critics and audiences, but the academy likes it so much that they put it in because they like frances ford coppola so much (or just the idea of nominating him and his movie again)
my Oscars 2025 Best Picture (ridiculously early & blind) predictions top 10: Civil War (A24) Dune: Part Two (Warner Bros.) Monkey Man (Universal Pictures) Sing Sing (A24) Dìdi (Focus Features) A Real Pain (Searchlight Pictures) The Piano Lesson (Netflix) Nosferatu (Focus Features) Joker: Folie À Deux (Warner Bros.) Megalopolis (??) next-in-line: Wolfs (Apple Studios) Blitz (Apple Studios) La Chimera (Neon) The Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohirrim (Warner Bros.) The Nickel Boys (Orion Pictures) Here (Sony Pictures) The End (Neon) Conclave (Focus Features)(Black Bear) Flint Strong (MGM) Thelma (Magnolia Pictures) other contenders: The Supremes At Earl's All-You-Can-Eat (Searchlight Pictures) Long Day's Journey Into Night (MGM) Mother Mary (A24) Maria (??) Love Lies Bleeding (A24) Challengers (MGM) Queer (??) Hard Truths (Bleecker Street) The Apprentice (??) Exhibiting Forgiveness (??) The Outrun (??) Anora (Neon) Emmanuelle (Neon) Parthenope (??) Hit Man (Netflix)
Inside Out 2 : Best Animated Feature (Winner) Gladiator 2 : Technical Categories (Probably will lose to Dune Part Two) Here : Best Picture Nominee (FTW)
I'm not sure about inside out 2 winning. On paper is a proper placeholder but consider is a sequel since we know how the academy treat non toy story sequels. I can see the oscars awarding other properties next year
My picks for 2025 Oscars: Sing Sing, The Nickel Boys, Dune Part 2, Blitz, Joker: Folie a Deux, The Piano Lesson, A Real Pain, Oh, Canada, Megalopolis, Conclave Possible surprises: Juror No. 2, The Apprentice, Holland, Michigan, Long Day's Journey into Night, Here, Emmanuelle, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Bird, Gladiator 2 Very outside chances: Kinds of Kindness, Queer, Maria, Mother Mary, Hard Truths Best Actor: Colman Domingo Joaquin Phoenix John D. Washington Richard Gere Sebastian Stan Possible surprises: Paul Mescal Ralph Fienneas Ed Harris Ethan Herrise Kevin Costner Best Actress 2025: Saoirse Ronan Lady Gaga Angelina Jolie Jessica Lange Noèmie Merlant Possible surprises: Tessa Thompson Michaele Coel Zendaya Nicole Kidman Glenn Close Marianne Jean-Baptiste Best Supporting Actor 2025: Samuel L. Jackson Kiernan Culkin Stanley Tucci Stephen Graham Clarence Maclin Possible surprises: Jacob Elordi Austin Butler Brendan Gleesson Harvey Lawfey Paul Bettany Best Supporting Actress 2025: Danielle Deadwyler Uma Thurman Robin Weight Toni Collette Nathalie Emmanuel Possible surprises: Hong Chau Zazie Beetz Isabella Rosselini Catherine Keener Ariana Grande Guys you can ask me my reason for the choices. Also tell me if you like my pick
Throwing out Hamnet as nobody seems to be acknowledging it. There's a slight chance it comes out this year, and if it does... I expect Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal (both playing Shakespeare's) to be contenders for the win
i actually saw a test screening for blitz back in like october and idk i didnt love it but i cant tell whether it was actually bad or if it just wasnt my cup of tea the first 5 minutes alone tho will defo lock in its sound nomination haha
@@Ella-gb7no i saw it quite a long time ago so i dont remember too much of her performance but i dont recall her having any super impressive scenes, in fact the young boy mostly in the film had way more of a memorable performance
surprised you guys didn't mention The Bikeriders or Hit Man. ultimately I think they'll both miss, but Austin Butler in Bikeriders shouldn't be ignored and Hit Man was one of the most well liked films at the festivals last year too and Glen Powell is superb in it
I really believe in Dune Part 2 as the #1. Even though I can understand the love for Sing Sing at SAG, I have a hard time believing BAFTA or PGA going for it. Aside from maybe Domingo for Best Actor, there is not much else I see it winning throughout awards season. Big thanks for the awesome video.
I’m on team Megalopolis and if it sucks then oh well, but I really want it to be good. FFC doing a sci fi is just too cool of a concept for me to not get excited.
I disagree with We Live in time, apparently some people saw early screenings and said that Andrew and Florence gave very weighty and emotional performances/ apparently one of them dies?
Do you think Elizabeth Olsen has a chance if they campaign for her in the supporting category and decides to release it later this year? Variety predicted Lyonne as an alternative in the lead actress category and OIsen and Coon as alternatives in the supporting category in their blind predictions for 2025 Oscars. P.S: I haven't watched the film.
Might be a weird hunch but imma say no Joker and yes to Gladiator 2. Think Top Gun v Black Panther. Sequel to a superhero movie that gets less nominations than the first (BP2 missed score, what if this gets muddy cause of the musical stuff) and the undeniable tech achievement of the legacy sequel brings that to Best Picture
Unless The Apprentice is a total flop (which I can't see with that director, cast and writer), I',, betting that on Best Supporting Actor and Best Makeup and Haristyling as the two definite big Oscar nominations. Historically, playing Roy Cohn as a major character in something has been almost a guarantee for awards love (Ron Liebman and Nathan Lane both won a Tony and Al Pacino an Emmy for playing him in Angels in America, and James Woods had Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for the early 1990s TV biopic Citizen Cohn) since he's such a fascinating, complex and charismatic figure, and going by the description (a mentor-protege story) and title of the movie (which is not just a reference to Trump's reality show but also to the fact he's been described as Cohn's apprentice), and just knowing the basic facts or who Cohn was and the impact he had on Trump, this should be the type of supporting role rhar Philip Seymour Hoffman had un The Master or Jude Law in The Talented Mr Ripley - the kind of performance and screen presence that the movie kind of revolves around and really hinges on. He should be dominating the movie when he's on screen, and his absence and influence should be felt once he's gone (if we see how Trump 'develops' after his death). And I can't wait to see Jeremy Strong in that role. And if the movie is really well received, I can also see it getting other nominations/awards, for other performances, writing, maybe even directing and picture. If Sebastian Stan knocks it out of the park, it will greatly improve his chances of Best Actor nomination, but I think he's still more likely to be nominated for A Different Man, a movie he won the best actor award at the Berlinale, and which sounds like an incredibly complex performancfe where he spends a lot of time under heavy makeup and has a huge transformation midway through the movie. So having two different and strong lead performances would go in his favor, but I suspect they may choose to nominate him for A Different Man if for no other reason than because they will still feel uncomfortable with nominating someone for playing Trump, the way they weren't when it came to nominating Bale for playing Cheney or Rockwell for playing George W Bush, because those two were not participating as candidates in the elections at the time. No matter how unflattering the movie's portrayal of Trump is, some members may be thinking along the lines of 'no publicity is bad publicity'.
Idk if is coming this year, but you sholuld have in mind the new Mael brother's movie, X-Crucior produced by FOCUS, if it comes out this year, i think is a possibility, i have it in my 10 right now.
About Tilda Swinton. She won't get nominated. Ever again. And if she is, she won't win. After that interview in which she basically said that she gave/wanted to give her Oscar away to her agent, because he or she deserved it more than her... like her win was a marketing scheme... yeah feels like banned for life. In the same interview, Charlize Theron claps back at her saying "That's weird.. I sleep with mine [Oscar]". It's a revealing moment. It's one of those Actors Roundtable. Check it out.
You know Tilda Swinton is an Oscar winner, right? Also, Wild Tales is an anthology film and it was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, so was Dogtooth, while The Lobster was nominated for Original Screenplay, you underestimating Lanthimos once again!
Love these early predictions videos because it's the best way to know what movies are going to be released in the upcoming year.
It's lowkey my favorite yearly Oscar Expert video
I put all of them on my watchlist knowing that half of them are not gonna be released on my country
Really bold of you guys to have Madame Web at No. 1
I think Harold and the Purple Crayon will give it some competition. #HaroldSweep
Better movie than what they have at #2!
Madam Web is probably going to sweep the Razzies, and I have a feeling that Dakota Johnson will actually show up to accept her award.
@@nivarad The razzies are terrible and Madame Web does not deserve to be in them. It was a better movie than that and I enjoyed it more than the "masterpiece" Dune part 2 personally.
Her web connects us all
you should do a reaction to the 2024 early predictions!!
That, and top 10 of 2023 list please

What does 08/15 mean?
@@romanxxxxyoutube It's a German phrase meaning something is not special / conventional / run of the mill

Probably my favourite video of the year, both because it’s fun to just throw out guesses that’ll probably be wildly wrong but also because it gets me excited about upcoming films
The most wonderful time of the year. 2024 officially starts NOW.
I can see Wicked missing on the big awards, but I think Song, Costume, Production Design, Makeup and Hairstyling are good bets. At least this early on.
Especially production design, some of those sets are insane!
Yeah I feel like a lot of people who maybe aren’t as into musical theatre are underestimating it, like sure it might not get anything ATL but I don’t think you can just totally write off a film of one of the most beloved musicals of all time. I feel like on its worst day, it’s probably Joel Schumacher’s Phantom of the Opera, which still got three tech noms
I can see wicked becaming like wonka in like is not as bad the trailer made out to be but it will completely shut down from the oscars
Oh and I would love to see Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain) and Jeremy Strong (The Apprentice) battle it out for a supporting actor win
It’s time for Ralph Fiennes to win an Oscar. He should have won for Schlinder list…
He also should’ve won for The Grand Budapest Hotel

The one thing to maybe keep in mind about Juror #2 is that this officially Eastwoods final movie. If it’s good, I could see a narrative rise up about praising him just one final time
I smell a contender there too, I have it at about number 7. Toni Collette will probably get nominated
Hollywood doesn’t like him BC he’s not young & a lunatic. He’s too patriotic for them
Oscar expert was SO on the money about joker 2. Unreal.

Y'all are addicts....now pass it on to me
Who else already has their predictions up on the Award Expert app?
I think Hand of Dante could be a player. Schnabel pretty consistently gets lead actors nominated and this movie is easily his biggest ensemble
I hope you do a reflection on last year's predictions as well. That's always a fun video and enjoyed last year's entry.

The plot is a bit like Spotlight, but it's about a man uncovering religious abuse in 1980s rural Ireland. Premiered at Berlin to a standing ovation.

WE DEMAND ANOTHER RETROSPECTIVE VIDEO
"Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" has the same concept as "Kinds of Kindness", and it won best foreign language film
Good catch. That WAS a very long time ago, tho…
The History of Sound is NOWHERE CLOSE TO HAPPENING LET ALONE GETTING RELEASED THIS YEAR
I feel like the best picture race is gonna be full of remakes and sequels next year
Let me ask you: If a sequel or remake is better than its predecessor, how much more do you want?
@@ryantrent2114 I wasn’t saying that as a bad thing just that there are a lot of sequels and remakes of previously nominated movies coming out this year.
@@KingHiki Fair enough
I believe the race is between 2 of Warner biggest hits this year: Joker2 & Dune2
Im also in the belief that Joker 2 makes it to best picture nominations. Could be really inventive and there is already a level of prestige that other comic book related movies do not have. Gladiator 2 is definitely missing. Ridley Scott ship has sailed.
Ultimately, this year is up for grabs. Maybe an indie movie rises. There must be another American Fiction/Anatomy of a Fall type movie which nobody is aware of before they hit the festival run. That is where the really interesting awards season news happens
sad to not see the usual editing style for early predictions!
Yeah I liked when they put the cast info, release date, possible festival, etc
Must be a lot to edit though
megalopolis could be something like maestro or elvis, where's it's divisive among critics and audiences, but the academy likes it so much that they put it in because they like frances ford coppola so much (or just the idea of nominating him and his movie again)
Megalopolis is a big self-financed film that no studio wanted to touch. Huge red flag
Emma stone is coming back again with yorgos lanthimos.
Margaret qualley is gaining steam in Hollywood as an actress
brother bro is looking right !
You guys think Mario Casas has a chance to get nominated for Escape? It’s being directed by Rodrigo Cortes and executive produced by Martin Scorsese
Oh you're just doing picture on this one? BrotherBro! Are we getting the Young British Actor poll and DGA poll?

Here : Best Picture Nominee (FTW)
I'm not sure about inside out 2 winning. On paper is a proper placeholder but consider is a sequel since we know how the academy treat non toy story sequels. I can see the oscars awarding other properties next year

Guys you can ask me my reason for the choices.
Also tell me if you like my pick
When are y'all posting your Top Movies of 2023?
L. it’s pretty clear what their favorite films are. fake fan
Throwing out Hamnet as nobody seems to be acknowledging it. There's a slight chance it comes out this year, and if it does... I expect Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal (both playing Shakespeare's) to be contenders for the win
Probably coming out 2025 instead of 2024
i actually saw a test screening for blitz back in like october and idk i didnt love it but i cant tell whether it was actually bad or if it just wasnt my cup of tea
the first 5 minutes alone tho will defo lock in its sound nomination haha
do you think saoirse can get nominated?
@@Ella-gb7no i saw it quite a long time ago so i dont remember too much of her performance but i dont recall her having any super impressive scenes, in fact the young boy mostly in the film had way more of a memorable performance
Keep O’dessa on your radar. It’s an indie film starring Sadie Sink and Kelvin Harrison Jr.
"a little late to the party" lmao I hollered
Do you think the smashing machine will have a chance of getting in?
surprised you guys didn't mention The Bikeriders or Hit Man. ultimately I think they'll both miss, but Austin Butler in Bikeriders shouldn't be ignored and Hit Man was one of the most well liked films at the festivals last year too and Glen Powell is superb in it
They mentioned Hit Man
I really believe in Dune Part 2 as the #1. Even though I can understand the love for Sing Sing at SAG, I have a hard time believing BAFTA or PGA going for it. Aside from maybe Domingo for Best Actor, there is not much else I see it winning throughout awards season. Big thanks for the awesome video.
you still dont have your personal favorite movies of last year though. well, i know your number one now, but i'm curious of the rest . 😆
I’m on team Megalopolis and if it sucks then oh well, but I really want it to be good. FFC doing a sci fi is just too cool of a concept for me to not get excited.
If big boy francis nails this even by the slightest then it'll be the best comeback ever..hope there's an audience for it
You should do one of those videos reacting to your predictions from last year.
Kinda bold to have Lindsay Lohan at #1 for The Irish Wish but I respect it
I disagree with We Live in time, apparently some people saw early screenings and said that Andrew and Florence gave very weighty and emotional performances/ apparently one of them dies?
Thank you for feeding my addiction 😂😂😂 love you guys!!!
15:57 clearly you haven’t watched Brenden Gleason in The Comey Rule.
Yeyyyyyyyyyyy it’s time to start again!!!!
His Three Daughters is Oscar-worthy. A shame Netflix did not release it last year. It was my favorite film out of TIFF.
Do you think Elizabeth Olsen has a chance if they campaign for her in the supporting category and decides to release it later this year? Variety predicted Lyonne as an alternative in the lead actress category and OIsen and Coon as alternatives in the supporting category in their blind predictions for 2025 Oscars.
P.S: I haven't watched the film.
Do you think Elizabeth Olsen has a chance in the supporting category if they campaign for Lyonne in the lead?
@@mrrekt2272hmm hard to tell. And Carrie Coon is also amazing in it. I need to rewatch to figure out who could even be lead/supporting.
Might be a weird hunch but imma say no Joker and yes to Gladiator 2. Think Top Gun v Black Panther. Sequel to a superhero movie that gets less nominations than the first (BP2 missed score, what if this gets muddy cause of the musical stuff) and the undeniable tech achievement of the legacy sequel brings that to Best Picture
Deadpool and wolverine os probably getting as many nkminations as black panther or even more
Unless The Apprentice is a total flop (which I can't see with that director, cast and writer), I',, betting that on Best Supporting Actor and Best Makeup and Haristyling as the two definite big Oscar nominations.
Historically, playing Roy Cohn as a major character in something has been almost a guarantee for awards love (Ron Liebman and Nathan Lane both won a Tony and Al Pacino an Emmy for playing him in Angels in America, and James Woods had Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for the early 1990s TV biopic Citizen Cohn) since he's such a fascinating, complex and charismatic figure, and going by the description (a mentor-protege story) and title of the movie (which is not just a reference to Trump's reality show but also to the fact he's been described as Cohn's apprentice), and just knowing the basic facts or who Cohn was and the impact he had on Trump, this should be the type of supporting role rhar Philip Seymour Hoffman had un The Master or Jude Law in The Talented Mr Ripley - the kind of performance and screen presence that the movie kind of revolves around and really hinges on. He should be dominating the movie when he's on screen, and his absence and influence should be felt once he's gone (if we see how Trump 'develops' after his death). And I can't wait to see Jeremy Strong in that role.
And if the movie is really well received, I can also see it getting other nominations/awards, for other performances, writing, maybe even directing and picture.
If Sebastian Stan knocks it out of the park, it will greatly improve his chances of Best Actor nomination, but I think he's still more likely to be nominated for A Different Man, a movie he won the best actor award at the Berlinale, and which sounds like an incredibly complex performancfe where he spends a lot of time under heavy makeup and has a huge transformation midway through the movie. So having two different and strong lead performances would go in his favor, but I suspect they may choose to nominate him for A Different Man if for no other reason than because they will still feel uncomfortable with nominating someone for playing Trump, the way they weren't when it came to nominating Bale for playing Cheney or Rockwell for playing George W Bush, because those two were not participating as candidates in the elections at the time. No matter how unflattering the movie's portrayal of Trump is, some members may be thinking along the lines of 'no publicity is bad publicity'.
Idk if is coming this year, but you sholuld have in mind the new Mael brother's movie, X-Crucior produced by FOCUS, if it comes out this year, i think is a possibility, i have it in my 10 right now.
#1 Dune #2 Furiosa ## Argylle
react to your 2024 first predictiobs too!!
Gladiator 2 is one to look out for
Gladiator 2 that low seems crazy
MY FAV VIDEOS
not joking when i say i’ve been checking twice every day since the oscar’s for this video
About Tilda Swinton. She won't get nominated. Ever again. And if she is, she won't win. After that interview in which she basically said that she gave/wanted to give her Oscar away to her agent, because he or she deserved it more than her... like her win was a marketing scheme... yeah feels like banned for life.
In the same interview, Charlize Theron claps back at her saying "That's weird.. I sleep with mine [Oscar]". It's a revealing moment. It's one of those Actors Roundtable. Check it out.
Love the app 👍🏻👍🏻
And so it begins…
You know Tilda Swinton is an Oscar winner, right? Also, Wild Tales is an anthology film and it was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, so was Dogtooth, while The Lobster was nominated for Original Screenplay, you underestimating Lanthimos once again!
Nooo what happened I wanted to hear more
Kinds of Kindness defo getting nominated
