I really like that festival because it seems to sum up Cannes (Blue Valentine, Another Year, Biutiful), Venice (Black Swan) and Toronto (The King's Speech) perfectly - or at least it DID last year - , it is in October so even the late bloomers are finished by then, yet it is still early enough to give me bragging rights if I can get into a high-profile screening and see a film long before its official release date. For example, last year Black Swan and The King's Speech were the big deals, because both had rather late release dates and everybody wanted to see these thanks to the excellent early word from Venice/Toronto.Phantomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03111345019507829615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653256068264800678.post-41333559839832441512011-07-16T11:31:31.116-07:002011-07-16T11:31:31.116-07:00Are you going to any festivals anytime soon?Are you going to any festivals anytime soon?Cinesnatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00244752542602944093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653256068264800678.post-36307913180147488042011-07-15T19:09:52.796-07:002011-07-15T19:09:52.796-07:00Hello Vinci, nice to see you here !
Well, to be f...Hello Vinci, nice to see you here !<br /><br />Well, to be fair, when I posted this on April 7, I didn't have Cannes-word on Swinton, Dunst, Cotillard, McAdams, there weren't trailers for One Day and A Dangerous Method, Carnage still didn't have a distributor so it could have been easily bumped to 2012 considering it barely wrapped filming back then and there weren't reviews and Box Office data on Beautiful Boy.<br /><br />Having said that, I do agree on most of the things you wrote. Emma Stone would have needed a MUCH more Academy-friendly release date even if her film became a critical hit (although I could see Viola Davis surviving the precursors-season and thanks to her previous nominee-status, getting a lead campaign).<br /><br />You are probably right about Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron, for now - in July - I simply consider them strong because Mirren has a very baity, Oscary role - and she IS Helen Mirren, if she could pull off a nod for The Last Station, this should be considered at least a possibility, too - and I firmly believe, as light as that plot sounds, we shouldn't underestimate a Theron-Reitman duo...with the right material, she can be excellent and his actors had been remarkably succesful Oscar-wise recently (Clooney, Farmiga, Kendrick, Page)...I guess what I'm trying to say, that if Ellen Page could pull off a nomination for a Reitman-comedy, so could Theron...on paper.<br /><br />After Venice/Toronto/Telluride, I'll write an updated top50.Phantomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03111345019507829615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653256068264800678.post-5136423313959780952011-07-15T15:38:09.537-07:002011-07-15T15:38:09.537-07:00Nice job Phantom.
But, you see potential some pla...Nice job Phantom.<br /><br />But, you see potential some places where I just do not ...<br /><br />Mirren, Theron = not going to happen. Should be on the bottom of your Oscar comeback list. Mark my words.<br /><br />And, in the "trailer speaks volumes department, Hathaway and Knightley ... so NOT going to happen. Bottom of respective list. Mark my words. <br /><br />Stone, Bello = not going to happen. Should be at the bottom of the list of newcomers. Also, Riseborough has a leg up on Cornish if only because she's in the "period" portion and Cornish is in the "modern" segment. Period trumps modern in these instances, if they are in the same category or they decide to split it. Same goes for Marion Cotillard and Rachel McAdams in Midnight in Paris. Additionally, Cotillard is the likable one, where McAdams plays a shrew. If anyone is supporting, it's McAdams. <br /><br />And, dude, forget about Oscar comebacks, Tilda IS a front-runner, no question. I'm not saying she's going to make it, but she stands a mathematically better chance then most of these dames. As far as the rest of them, I don't think we'll see them in the race. However, Mulligan figures in way more than a lot of the frontrunners you have listed. <br /><br />Also, Kirsten Dunst, though I'm not sure if she'll have enough gas in her tank, also stands a better chance than a lot of your frontrunners. <br /><br />And, Carnage, keep in mind that Marcia Gay Harden WON the Tony for her performance over Hope Davis. She has the showier role. If Foster can pull it off, she WILL be nominated. Mark my words. And it won't be supporting. Showier role + two decade legacy on Winslet + elder of the two + Winslet just winning a lead Oscar = Foster in lead. Mark my words. <br /><br />Anyway, again, great job and great site!<br /><br />Vinci (aka Cinesnatch)Cinesnatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00244752542602944093noreply@blogger.com
