I mean, it's the last HP movie and there's a great nostalgic feeling about it. Plus, the movie is great, holds an impressive 96% at Rotten Tomatoes and has a big couple of box-office records. <br />In my opinion, the Academy SHOULD nominate the last HP movie in Best Picture category, not only because of its great quality but also due to the fact that it's a populist choice and audiences would go as crazy as they were when The Dark Knight or Wall-E were snubed...<br />But I don't see it getting nominated in acting categories and in the best director one, due to the strong competition this year. Adapted Screenplay and Costume Design have chances but it won't be easy. All the other categories you said I agree with you<br /><br />great post, btwEdgar Ribeirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156131535008735807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653256068264800678.post-13177064178520634492011-07-22T14:42:28.628-07:002011-07-22T14:42:28.628-07:00All that makes sense, I just simply think that A) ...All that makes sense, I just simply think that A) even if the Academy will struggle to recognize the film in the main categories, technicals will be a walk and that could easily include makeup whether it deserves it or not and B) if voters have the option to award great sound and sound editing in a bad/mediocre film OR great sound and sound editing in a great film, they will probably go with the latter.Phantomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03111345019507829615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653256068264800678.post-28685487794803445432011-07-22T08:13:18.201-07:002011-07-22T08:13:18.201-07:00I don't think a makeup nod is so certain, Blac...I don't think a makeup nod is so certain, Black Swan wasn't nominated last year! It also featured some great digitally enhanced techniques. <br /><br />Also, HP will get strong competition for Sound & Sound Editing from Transformers. <br /><br />Definitely a lock for an Art Direction nomination, but Hugo seems to be the more likely winner from what I saw in the trailer.Shane Slaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04527212913193906828noreply@blogger.com
