The reviews for this are simply fantastic, and it seems like it could be an audience pleaser and do very well at the box office as well. I think this could get a nomination for Best Picture. |

Sci-fi movies are only nominated if they get "best film ever" type of buzz. Maybe if Matt Damon was a historically significant Brit who helped England withstand Hitler, then goes through a physical transformation due to disease and then gets stuck on Mars it would have a shot. I haven't read the book, so I can't say if this happens or not. |

I just think it's starting to look like a weak year for best picture contenders. |

If it stays at 8-10 nominees it can get one of the last spots but with 7.3 average rating and 75 Metacritic I would say critically it's well liked not loved by critics |

The word of mouth for this movie is going to be sensational and it should play for a long time. I don't think it can be ruled out. |

I doubt a popcorn movie can seriously contend for any major awards. Nominations, maybe. Wins, no no. |

It will get tech noms but not the big ones, the movie was good IMO but not great. |

Was surprised to see that Sasha Stone of awardsdaily.com listed this as the #1 lock for a Best Picture nom............ whaaaaaaaaaaaa...???? Also supposedly likely in Director, Actor, and Adapted Screenplay, among others. I thought it was pretty flawed? Kind of enjoyable but ultimately a let down. Maybe I was too hyped on the book and was always going to be disappointed. |

It wouldn't deserve an acting nomination. Damon was good but not GREAT. None of the performances in the film were award-worthy, IMO. |

Bullock was great in Gravity. She totally made me feel for her, I'd never seen her in a film so vulnerable. |

I absolutely felt for Matt Damon in The Martian as well. |

The Martian is not an artsy, Oscar bait film like Gravity. It is a very well received blockbuster, and to get a nomination in those movies, your performance must be completely innovative, like Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight or Johnny Depp in The Curse of the Black Pearl. |

Yes, Damon has a very uphill battle here. But I would not entirely rule it out if the season is weaker than usual. |

I could see the film making it into Best Picture and Best Actor now, if it maintains the buzz and other candidates disappoint. |

Picture is much more likely than actor, IMO. |
|
| Author: | Renton [ Tue Oct 27, 2015 11:08 pm ] |
| Post subject: | Re: The Martian |
I think they're both equally likely. If there's passion for one, there will be passion for the other. That said, I could easily see one getting in without the other. |

The Martian at least doesn't pretend it's an art movie like Gravity did. It runs with its concept the best it can. Whatever Gravity got TM deserved also. Also Damon >>>>>> Bullock. |

By now I am starting to believe it will get a handful of nominations as well, including Picture, Actor, Adapted Screenplay... |

I'm also on The Martian bandwagon. It is a true success story. I'd love it to reach $250m and get 7-8 Oscar nominations. |

The Golden Globes have agreed to let this film compete as a comedy/musical. Ha. |
