You don't think The Road has a chance of nomination? The book got so much Oprah hype it's hard to think that won't rub off on the film...
The Road is just not an Oscar movie. At least the version that I saw wasn't. I saw the Director's 6th pass on the film. Viggo's narration had not yet been added. But the cut will turn out close enough that I can wager a guess that it won't be Academy material. Way too bleak, even with Oprah in its corner. Besides, Oprah will be backing Precious, not The Road. Then again, Harvey may be all it needs. Not a big Viggo fan here to begin with (can't believe he got nommed for Eastern Promises) and wasn't impressed by Smit-McPhee... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. It was a good movie that will only get better (I hope) but I just don't think it's up the Academy's alley.
Damn, that's disappointing! It just seemed to have all the elements:
Adapted from Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize winning/Oprah recommended book.
It was a bestseller and its legions of films had high anticipation for the film.
Author wrote last year's Oscar winner, also a very bleak film.
Harvey Weinstein's trumping it as Oscar bait along with Nine.
That Esquire piece claimed it was brilliant (even headlining the article - The Road is the most important movie of the year).
I would love to see "The Brothers Bloom" "Away We Go" or 500 Days of Summer get a nomiation...lvoed all of those films
You really think Daniel Day-Lewis can get a nomination for just his voice?
Mark, Nine is not to be confused with 9, but if you were just making a joke, forgive me. I did laugh to myself at home.
Having seen the trailer for Into the Whirlwind, I'm continually puzzled by the lack of oscar buzz for the great Emily Watson who seems to have the role of a lifetime.
I honestly think that Joan Cusack could be a long shot for the Supporting Actress Category for her small but powerful performance as the judge in "My Sister's Keeper."
The Hurt Locker is the best film of the year. Thank you to director Kathryn Bigelow and actor Jeremy Renner for this outstanding picture.
you did not mention district 9 at all.i think the movie will be nominated for an academy award for the best director,the best picture and best original screenplay.district 9 is one of the best movies of 2009.
what about jamie foxx in the soloist for best actor.....or michael mann for public enemies for best director
i think "the hurt locker" will be this year"s top winner
No love for "Up In the Air"?
Have a look at this prediction - The writer claims that he knows who will win - http://blog.tomedes.com/oscar-winner-2010-best-foreign-language-film/
I was about to say something on this topic. But now i can see that everything on this topic is very amazing and mind blowing, so i have nothing to say here. I am just going through all the topics and being appreciated. Thanks for sharing...
Very interesting blog. As said above, I am also going through the other topics and posts.
