You're bad at hot takes. Birds of Prey is going to win an Oscar. Doesn't matter where.
No superhero film is winning anything outside of Best Costume, Visual Effects, or something Sound related. Dark Knight pulled a Best Supporting on the power of Ledger's death, his performance, and Nolan being a serious director with clout.
Black Panther being up for anything near Best Picture is based on A) everyone knowing what Black Panther is and B) Disney campaigning hard for it. The Dark Knight was the last time a studio made such a huge push for a Best Picture nom. Dark Knight didn't even get the nomination. BP could get the nom the way the Golden Globe went, but no way it wins. The nomination itself would be a huge breakthrough for genre films.
Birds of Prey likely won't be a visual effects showcase like Aquaman. So you're left with Film Editing, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Production Design, Makeup and Hair, Costume Design, Original Score.
Good times are here, but y'all need to calm down.
It's nice to hope. Plus, let's not forget how SS won an Oscar. If that movie can win something, anything can lol.
For a more grounded take like Nolan trilogy sure, people wanted him for GLC and Superman.
Why? There was nobody they need to keep except for Will. They can easily do a whole new team, isn't that the point of the SS?
Every movie is different.
That's what I find really interesting about the the films. One can really look at them as different genre films that happen to have super heroes in them instead of them being an outright superhero film. I think JL might be the only film that is like that. That might be why it feels like the weakest or is the film that lacks a stronger identity. Man of Steel being Superman's origin as told through the lens of an alien invasion story is something I always thought was great. I always found it weird that people tried to lean away from the crazy scifi nature of Superman. He feels in element when you just embrace that.
no he wasn't.
