 The Oscars Awaken
Okay, there is no way it is not getting nominated, right? It will have the box-office, it has the legacy and it sure as fuck has the reviews. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/star_wa ... e_awakens/It is not gonna win, but it is definitely, definitely getting nominated for BP.

 Re: The Oscars Awaken
I dunno, I'm still skeptical of a BP nod. Especially with Mad Max and The Martian also in the mix.

 Re: The Oscars Awaken
Yeah, it's going to get nominated, and the rating is going to be massive with all the blockbusters in the mix.

 Re: The Oscars Awaken
The Academy was notoriously anti-Star Wars in 2005 in the tech nominations. But obviously this will be a superior film. So who knows, I could see it.

 Re: The Oscars Awaken
My first thought was that the inclusion of Star Wars would hurt The Martian's chances...but that didn't happen with Avatar/District 9.

 Re: The Oscars Awaken
I don't think it will hurt The Martian's chance at a nomination, but it will definitely hurt its chance at winning by both taking the buzz away and presenting the question that if you'll vote for The Martian at No. 1, why not Star Wars then that's in the same genre, with bigger box office, and even better reviews on top of all.
If Star Wars/The Martian/Mad Max all get nominated and Spotlight ends up winning, it'll be a bigger letdown for the audience than when The Hurt Locker won. At least The Hurt Locker appealed to the same audience of District 9 and Avatar, while for Spotlight/Carol, not so much.

 Re: The Oscars Awaken
Those fucking elitist assclowns could care less about blockbuster quality, if nominated it will merely be to appease the fans.

 Re: The Oscars Awaken
If there are 10 nominations then it has a chance, but 5? no way.

 Re: The Oscars Awaken
If there were to be five nominees, we'd know it already.

 Re: The Oscars Awaken
If it came out in May there would be no chance. Now? Just maybe. Though it would surely bump Mad Max or Martian out.
