Saw Emilia Perez last night. The fact that Zoe Saldana is commiting a massive category fraud makes me wanna root against her. She is amazing in the movie and could easily become the second Black actress to win the Lead Actress Oscar, especially in such a weak-ish year. But no, she wants to commit the most massive category fraud since maybe Alicia Vikander? 

 

Stunning movie, Should easily sweep the GG C/M categories. 

 

The fact that Viola Davis (Fences) and Zoe Saldana (Emilia Perez) could be Lead Actress winners but they wanted an easier win in supporting.

The Outrun opens with under $1k per theater average. it's over alas. maybe Blitz?

 

minimal box office without raves for the film is unlikely to get a nom. for movies released this century:

tammy Faye $2.4 US box office/55 metascore – baity famous bio

albert nobbs $3/57 – close had been trying to make the movie for over a decade since she did the role in the 80s

rabbit hole $2.2/76 – the role won a Tony

Jessica Lange won for Blue Sky almost 30 years ago and that movie only made $3.4 million.

Newcomers like Hilary Swank, Brie Larson, and Charlize Theron had undeniable performance and either sweeps critics/televised awards to win Best Actress.

Mikey needs to be undeniable and sweeps televised/TRIFECTA to win Oscar for Best Actress.

adjusted for inflation that would be over $6 million.

and outrun is looking at maybe $1.

 

it was also one of the worst years ever for actress with most of the nominees being solo.

Saoirse got nominated for Best Actress when her movies performed well at both box office AND critical acclaim.

Sorry, but I think she might get snubbed this time.

Blitz could still happen for her. But I do think she will get double nominations.

Movies I've seen at the New York Film Festival so far in order:

 

Nickel Boys

The Brutalist

Anora

Rumours

Maria

Emilia Perez

The Friend

The Room Next Door

Hard Truths

A Real Pain

The Shrouds

Queer

 

Not a stinker in the bunch (though Rumours was my least fave). My top 5 in order: Anora, Queer (divisive but I adored it), Emilia Perez, The Brutalist, The Room Next Door (with A Real Pain right behind). Will most likely conclude with Blitz, I'm Still Here, and Misericordia.

I don't see it for Mikey to win tbh.

She will have uphill battle to win that Oscar as newcomer.

Hilary won for that baity performance and the movie made lots of money at box office.

Posted

Anora likely getting a big pile of noms, vs. previous nominees getting solos or close to solos, will get it for her

Posted

Blitz will premiere tomorrow at BFI :duca:

It's weird that Sean Baker has been making many good indie movies and yet still has not been nominated for Oscar :rip:

Simon Rex should have been nominated for Red Rocket though :jonny5:

...Sean baker's biggest box office: $11 mil Florida Project, $1 mil Red Rocket

Most people still don't know him.

Low box office is not an excuse not to get nominated for Oscar :rip:

That applies to Saoirse since all her previous nominations came from movies with box office success and critically acclaimed movies.

Yeah but it's more of a comedy and the second half drags heavy until the ending (which was great but getting there was a slog)
