Variety are predicting that ASIB could snatch up to 10 nominations for the films AND potential walk away with the big 5 (Director, Actor, Actress, Picture AND screenplay)

Quote:
For that and many more reasons (like a field that isn’t as competitive as usual), the lead actor Oscar race might be over and done with. Cooper is that good as the kind-hearted but haunted Jackson Maine, and the screenplay — from Cooper, Will Fetters, and Oscar winner Eric Roth — finely tunes his story, serving the character far better than any previous version of the tale has for Fredric March and James Mason’s Norman Maine, or Kris Kristofferson’s John Norman Howard.

That you can get two paragraphs into spelling out the virtues of this film before even mentioning Lady Gaga is a testament to its density. She is, of course, sensational in her first starring role — an absolute natural. And when her version of the discovered talent, here called Ally, first steps onto a stage early in the film to perform one of her own songs for the first time — already a highlight from its positioning in the trailer alone — I’ve rarely seen so arresting a moment in cinema


So. Yes. “A Star Is Born” (2018) is an across-the-board Oscar contender. More than that, and assuming this is even still possible in the modern era, it has the muscle to achieve what only three films in movie history ever have: Win all five major Academy Awards (picture, director, actor, actress, and screenplay). It’s that kind of accomplishment, and even more, it makes you realize what this well-worn, Oscar-winning material was capable of all along.

I hope they aren't peaking too soon with the hype, it's going to be difficult to keep it going until February at the level they're going.

I think after TIFF it will subside, resurge again with the actual release and then quieten down until late January when they’ll start the promo train

I don’t think Bradley Cooper will outdo Willem Dafoe and I don’t think Gaga will outdo Olivia Coleman or Glenn Close. The rest are a possibility though. It’s very early though.

4 new clips from the film










And of course, more rave reviews after the film premiered in Toronto earlier this week

Quote:
Bradley Cooper has that all figured out as he makes his directorial debut directing himself in a highly effective update that he also co-wrote. As the alcoholic country rocker Jackson Maine, he plays a romantic lead for the current era, irresistibly impulsive but also deeply vulnerable and kind of sweet. And his ace-in-the-hole is Lady Gaga proving that behind all those outlandish costumes there is not only a voice but also an actress who can bring real down-home strength to the role of the rising Ally, the singer-songwriter Jack discovers performing La Vie en Rose in a drag bar.

4/4
Quote:
A remarkably assured directorial debut from Bradley Cooper who turns in a career-defining performance opposite a promising Lady Gaga. A remake that captures the tone and spirit of prior films, A Star Is Born still blazes its own heartfelt, authentic path.

A Star Is Born may be a remake, may even have had a tricky birth, but Cooper and Lady Gaga make the material feel fresh, urgent and full of soul. A film both for the ages and for 2018. And when the final emotional punch is thrown, you’ll be left reeling at the originality and heart on display.
5/5
Quote:
If you are a human being who worries that you are dead inside, that you may have no emotions left to give, that your soul has been crushed so many times that there’s no way a single tear could be shed in the name of cinema – yet, you’re not exactly sure and you need one final test – then Bradley Cooper’s iteration of A Star is Born (which screened on Friday at the Toronto International Film Festival) is your last litmus test. If you do not cry during this movie, then, yes, you might be dead inside.

A Star is Born is not just the movie you hoped it would be from the dynamic trailer, it’s much better. It’s an expertly shot, phenomenal film that now puts Bradley Cooper on the “elite director” list. Not too shabby for the third lead from Yes Man.

9.5/10

I speak the truth, she has probably paid these reviewers. I have seen with my own eyes that she is a terrible actress. Also many times critics have got things very wrong.

Hey out of her arse and sit down

Yep! paid the reviewers, every single one of them I bet! The people who have given her standing ovations at premieres and Q&As probably paid the GP who’ll go and see the film! She’ll probably end up contributing her own wealth to make the gross of the film look bigger than it is too! I imagine she’ll buy he nominations and awards too!!!!

She definelty bought herself into being cast, it wasn't talent that got her the role. She probably showed a bit of leg to the paedo/sexual harassing producers. Some of the producers of this film are terrible and so I'm sure the film will be just as bad

This is like the most baity post ever and everything in it is factually incorrect.

What are you trying to accomplish? Nobody believes you nor agrees with you, you just end up embarrassing yourself so quit while your behind

Baiting who? Are you secret a producer of the film or a cast member because I didn't know that?
It's a thread about the film with two of the main actors in the title. I am discussing the film/cast/producers

Also not everything is 'factually incorrect', you can't prove a lot of what I said to not be true.. So what you have posted is actually 'factually incorrect'.

Ok

1. Producers didn’t want to give Gaga the role they said she had to audition like other people FACT
2. Bradley did a screen test at her house for an audition, when producers saw it only then were they comfortable with her being cast. FACT
3. There is no “paedo/sexual harassing paedos” involved in the making of this film as confirmed by the PGA. FACT
4. You don’t know anything about the producers of the film you’re just basing it on what you’ve seen re a producer legally obligated to credit because it’s the remake of this film. FACT
5. Keep posting because you’re only making yourself look more foolish. FACT

You need to learn what a fact is I think. You can start here;

Educate yourself.

Yeah...That doesn't really happen in Hollywood, especially for prestige films like this.

The whole 'showing a bit of leg' line makes very little sense. The producer in question has been confirmed to basically have nothing to do with this film outside of a contractual obligation to appear in the credits. Honestly, do some research before you write such fiction.
