F9 made almost 1/3 of its gross in China so it doesn’t apply. And besides… it’s painfully dreadful (like Venom 2).
That doesn't really align with what you called them out for previously, though - seeing as most of the "virtue signalling" nominations are either newcomers or haven't been nominated before. Most of them aren't multi-millionaires.
What does that even mean? Surely that's an observable event: she is the first woman to nominated twice, that's just a fact.
Is it a film worthy of technical nominations? Absolutely.
Is it a film worthy of acting nominations. Probably Not. As solid as they are.
Is it a film worthy of any artistic nominations? Cinematography would have been the best shot.
I am more surprised that MGM and EON tried to push awards so heavily. The film is good, with some caveats, but against other films? Hmmmm.
They were probably banking on Bond having a kid and so many longtime characters dying earning them awards.
I would've thought that critical success, commercial success and the ongoing viability of the series and the brand would take importance over winning a 13 1/2 inch tall gold plated award.
No doubt, but I can't imagine they'd go the lengths they did and not hope to see some bigger wins as a result of their creative choices.
We see more of the MGM/EON campagin as Bond fans.
But EVERY studio pushes ALL of its films with campagins for the Oscars.
It's not as if the EON/MGM campaign was bigger than others.
True, but I dont think we have seen such a publically concerted effort before now.
I dont think even SF had that big of a push. It mainly relied on its industry acknowledged crew to bag the noms (see Deakins, Newman, Mendes etc).
700 million is 700 million.Regardless where it came from.
It’s a really silly film but I enjoyed it ( like most of the series ).
Winners:
Curious if one will turn up for the Oscars.
On a different note, I don’t know who wrote the jokes for Rebel Wilson, but he or she, should be fired. Painfully unfunny.
She's always been that way to me.
When Shirley Bassey sings, we're the winners.
An incredible energy when she sings the last bit of the song. "And ever..."
They snuck the Bond theme in there too, though it's barely audible in the mix.
NTTD is a decent movie and there are movies out there that are better even if you like NTTD better, but the Bond franchise is just not the Oscar stuff. Winning for score or song is probably the best they will ever do.
I don’t have a problem with her on the whole, not that I have seen her in much. But those jokes were so bad, they make the thought of being waterboarded, enjoyable by comparison.
