When trailers for Trouble With the Curve came out, I thought it would almost certainly be pulling for Best Picture - but then it tanked so hard, I think it was only in theaters for about two weeks. Also, anyone who thinks Prometheus has a snowball's chance of getting any nominations that aren't visual or technical hasn't been paying attention to how much the Academy hates genre film (never mind the fact that it wasn't very good).
ReplyDeleteI feel like Cloud Atlas might be this year's Tree of Life - ambitious, beautiful, incredibly mixed reviews, and no real chance of winning, but it would get people talking if it ended up on the table.
