 Nine - is it IN or OUT for BP? This is the question many are asking at the moment. What do you think...will it get in? I think the remaining Top 9 is pretty solid but the 10th spot is mostly up in the air.
Pro's:
- It has an all-star cast with six previous Oscar winners
- It is directed by Rob Marshall whose Chicago is the only musical to win BP in decades
- It is being pushed by the Weinsteins
Con's:
- The reviews are mixed at best
- There's a distinct lack of passion about this film
- The box-office is very disappointing
- Weinsteins might decide to focus their efforts on Basterds

Re: Nine - is it IN or OUT for BP? I am trying to care, but it is really difficult.

Re: Nine - is it IN or OUT for BP? Better be out.
Crappy BO and unsatisfactory reviews. There are easily 10 better made, more successful films to pick from before you even think of Nine.

Re: Nine - is it IN or OUT for BP? In because of a Weinstein push and this years 10 picks.

Re: Nine - is it IN or OUT for BP? Do you even need to ask? It is most definitely out.

Re: Nine - is it IN or OUT for BP? Definitely Out. But you never know they may have a place for one crappier movie out of those 10 nominations

Re: Nine - is it IN or OUT for BP? The Reader was supposed to be out last year. Look what happened. It's Weinstein brothers. They're powerful lobbyists.

Re: Nine - is it IN or OUT for BP? Is 'Nine' really worse than 'Avatar'?

Re: Nine - is it IN or OUT for BP? Out; too many hurdles - box office, reviews, missing PGA. The only thing that is keeping it in contention is the pre-release pedigree, but I think the season is long enough for that to wear off. Academy members are getting their ballots now, and they already see what's happening to the film.

Re: Nine - is it IN or OUT for BP? Personally, Nine is my 3rd favorite film of the year, and I prefer it to Avatar by miles. Then again, I love musicals and am a theatre/music kid, but other than my hope for it, it's out. I just don't see it happening anymore.

Re: Nine - is it IN or OUT for BP? Out, way out. The Reader for all its faults still had passion votes. Nine has none... and 40% on RT... nobody even "likes" it.
The only reason it wasn't counted out 2-3 weeks ago is that its baity... which for the most part has hurt films like Memoirs, Australia, Dreamgirls, Walk the Line, etc. in years past

Re: Nine - is it IN or OUT for BP? Yeah, but most of those films would've gotten in with ten nominees.
Australia's not even that baity! It's like the anti-Oscar bait.

Re: Nine - is it IN or OUT for BP? It only gets in if it wins the GG.

But that was pretty much the minimum # of noms it could have gotten; no director or screenplay made GG pretty much a wash in terms of helping or hurting it. I think it got more of a boost from BFCA. _________________Recent watched movies: American Hustle - B+ Inside Llewyn Davis - B Before Midnight - A 12 Years a Slave - A- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - A- My thoughts on box office
