and I'm not sure Green Book can be called a flop yet. It still has plenty of white Academy members and old people to charm.

Pls, let me hope that the days of feel-good racism movies are over.

Sadly, I'd sooner believe Wells' basic argument that basically any non-franchise, non-jukebox movie is doomed at the box office going forward than I'd accept Harris's argument that audiences are wising up to white savior movies.

"I think to consistently see our stories and our Black icons filtered through the lens of a racist white person like Tony Lip does nothing to advance the understanding of Black history and only serves to perpetuate white supremacy.”

Which seconds NBR's choice.

I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Thursday, 29 November 2018 15:47 (seven years ago)

A good film but can think of at least three or four better ones...Shoplifters, Border, and, of course, Roma

"of course"

I like queer. You like queer, senator? (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 29 November 2018 15:58 (seven years ago)

even just from the TIFF program notes it was obvious awards fodder

resident hack (Simon H.), Thursday, 29 November 2018 16:06 (seven years ago)

Its advantage over its other B&W criticbait competition Roma: it's way shorter.

Looks incredibly light to me, but then again, so was the likely other front runner (Mr. Rogers)

Figured that’s what you meant.

I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Thursday, 29 November 2018 16:28 (seven years ago)

i guess Stan Lee pushed that one over the top? or new members are MCU dorks

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 29 November 2018 16:29 (seven years ago)

Or there were no other viable candidates.

I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Thursday, 29 November 2018 16:30 (seven years ago)

Side note: Bo Burnham has basically swept the table on first film at this (very early) stage.

I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Thursday, 29 November 2018 16:31 (seven years ago)

could be... i don't think ive seen any animateds this year. xp

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 29 November 2018 16:31 (seven years ago)

Did Mirai come out in the US this year? Because that should basically win all the awards.

Frederik B, Thursday, 29 November 2018 16:32 (seven years ago)

Apparently comes out here tomorrow.

I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Thursday, 29 November 2018 16:33 (seven years ago)

i guess the only first features i've seen that are nearly as good as 8G are Wildlife and Summer 1993.

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 29 November 2018 16:35 (seven years ago)

I'm getting Roma feelings (I guess it can win best film and not foreign film? cuz hey)
