John Steers was nom'd for Thunderball.
And he won it.
We don't talk about Bruno.
Nightmare Alley is a gorgeous film.
He’s really better off just doing art direction/production design for other filmmakers.
Babs: Only three? Our expectations were considerably... higher
It's so beautiful, especially during those carnival sequences in the first hour. Laustsen is one of my favorite DPs working today. I can't wait to see what he brings to the table with the next chapter of John Wick.
The film sort of dragged for me in the back half but it was still very enjoyable.
Also happy to see films like Drive My Car and Worst Person in the World get nominated outside just the International Film category. I was rooting for Compartment No. 6 to get a nomination in that category, but it was probably a long-shot.
It was indeed a slow film for me as well, but the story was so engaging. And the ending was one of the most satisfying endings that I’ve seen in a movie!
First Japanese film to ever be nominated for Best Picture is really a shame to hear, when Japanese cinema is packed with so many classics.
As a side note, as unlikely as it was, how in the hell does NTTD (or countless other films, for that matter) not get a Best Pic nom while the likes of Don't Look Up does? Stunning. This is the kind of stuff that had me check out of awards shows years ago.
Good one.
Boggles my mind. Barely a 50% RT score for it from critics. I'm guessing it's a throwaway nom considering the cast and director.
I hope so as it's terrible. But my fear is that it's another Green Book, the "populist" film that wins.
I'd imagine the sizeable amount of chatter it generated was a big part of it.
Given how it make a mockery of mainstream media, it’s no surprise critics hated it.
Derek Meddings was nominated for Moonraker.
It speaks volumes that the two films that basically “saved theaters” after such an unprecedented pandemic that put the industry on the verge of collapse got just 4 nominations.
And it only got one technical nom. Is that all on Sony dropping the ball on not distribution TV screeners? I recall that was a huge issue with BAFTAs.
I agree.
Think about the average Oscar voter age: 50s-60s. Spider-Man FFH didn’t stand much of a chance.
@matt_u ...Bang on and this is why the Academy keeps losing viewers. They've forgotten the general audience and they usually have gone for prestige films that nobody saw en masse...
I was mainly agreeing about NTTD, not with Spider-Man. NTTD was bit more prestigious than NWH, that’s why I was shocked, plus as mentioned above, it helped revitalize theaters.
They increased the Best Film category to 10 contenders to include popular films like Spiderman and Bond. Not exactly working, is it.
Long shot for Bond winning best song this time around. Too bad, because NTTD is sooo much better than Writings on the Wall.
