 Re: Could Juno be an awards sleeper? Juno is going to have box office in it's favor methinks. It'll appeal to adults and teenagers. I know a lot of people my age who are very enthusiastically looking forward to it.

I know a lot of people my age who are very enthusiastically looking forward to it. Not to mention that it's PG-13, a quality shared by absolutely none of the current contenders. Just noticed that, which is odd.

Re: Could Juno be an awards sleeper? My arguments remain the same. The response is enthusiastic, but not overwhelming like Little Miss Sunshine's, Sideways' or LiT's. It also won't have the time to build a fanbase until the Oscars and the lack of a directing nom should hurt it too.

Re: Could Juno be an awards sleeper? yes it could. Similar reviews to LMS, close-to-identical box office to follow, and a better release date for Oscar season.
I don't think it'll win, but if it does, it would make perfect sense. All the other films competing for Best Picture are downers.

Re: Could Juno be an awards sleeper? Juno seems like the type of movie where I can see it get nominated for all of GG, SAG, DGA, and PGA and still lose out on an Oscar BP nomination. Maybe I'll change my mind after I see the movie though.

Re: Could Juno be an awards sleeper? "Jason Reitman's "Juno" is just about the best movie of the year." - Roger EbertHis praise only increases from there. Whoa boy.

Re: Could Juno be an awards sleeper? Ebert's gone soft. He gave Golden Compass ****, for god's sake. More than any of the Rings films!

Re: Could Juno be an awards sleeper? Roger Ebert has alway been, an will always be, nothing more than an idiot. He's only reknowned because of Siskel. Seriously, he thought Crash was the best film of 2005.

Re: Could Juno be an awards sleeper? I think Siskel benefited more from the partnership with Ebert, rather than the other way around.  _________________A hot man once wrote: Urgh, I have to throw out half my underwear because it's too tight.

Seriously, he thought Crash was the best film of 2005. I disagree with some of what he says, but honestly, if you read any of his reviews, he really does make valid arguments supporting his case...he writes very effectively, and that's why he's just as big a name as he was twenty years ago. not to mention the show. _________________Retroviral VideosA film-based project created for the purpose of helping raise awareness about HIV/AIDS, specifically in South Africa.

Re: Could Juno be an awards sleeper? The film is a crowdpleaser; it's a lot more accessible than I expected. And I think its box office is going to reflect that.
Which is only going to help its chances at the Oscars.

Jennifer Garner actually did pretty good in Juno, I mean good for a TV actress, she almost kept up with the real actors...

Let's see: Allison Janney...was on The West Wing for years Jason Bateman...was on Arrested Development for years (and other things in the 80s) Michael Cera...was on Arrested Development for years JK Simmons...was on Oz for years, now on The Closer ...right.

Heh. I wasn't talking about having simply worked on TV. The difference is, Garner acts like a TV actress. She's just a step above Tom Bergeron...

Re: Could Juno be an awards sleeper? Yeah, next year we should just pencil in whatever movie Ebert pushes. He's a freak.
