Yeah!

She's defintely in line for an Oscar nom and possibly a win going by what the critics are saying!

[Tom4784]

I'm quite looking forward to this, I don't think it'll do that well though since the Queen film is getting a lot of attention and they release within a similar window but it does look great.

[Black Dagger]

Nobody gives a **** about the Queen. Gaga is queen.

Not the Queen, Queen.

It's managed to cut off ASIB at the knees so far in the promotion stakes which is unfortunate as they both look good but one of them is going to suffer the consequences of being high profile music films released in the same window and it's probably gonna be ASIB since Bohemian Rhapsody has all the oscar buzz atm.

Tbf, the potential for that movie bombed when they lost their original choice for Freddie.

I personally haven’t seen any promotion for the BR, ASIB has Oscar buzz whereas I haven’t seen anything in terms of predictions for BR either https://awardswatch.com/2018/08/31/f...rn-boy-erased/ the only thing mentioned is Rami for Leading Male, whereas ASIB has picture, director, actor and actress and it’s pretty much the same on other websites too, there’s no mention of BR, ASIBs opening weekend predictions have now moved to $35million - $55 million and it’s predicted to do $135m domestically, I think if people want to see both films they will anyway but being released first just means word of mouth is gonna have more impact for ASIB anyway

[Black Dagger]

Oh lmao. I do want to see that as well. I love Rami.

[Tom4784]

It's a matter of knowing how the Academy works though, ASIB is an old favourite for the academy which will benefit it but I dunno, I think BH will end up pipping it in the noms in the end. It's got crossover appeal whilst dealing with Academy friendly subject matter.

I think the only chance ASIB has is if it really does go the distance in terms of audience popularity but I don't really see that happening, the trailers for both were released at similar times iirc and I think BH generally trended more and got more views. I'm seeing both but I think, looking at both films, BH is going to do better at the awards although I do predict that Gaga will get a fair few noms, judging by the critics reactions to her. I predict she'll have at least a Golden Globe by the time awards' season ends. Potentially an Oscar too but that depends on the other competition.

[Smithy]

Don’t you mean ANOTHER golden globe

I mean either way I’d be happy with nominations, I wouldn’t expect her to win an Oscar for her first film, Glen Close is currently fave anyway, but she might snatch one for the soundtrack considering everyone knows she was robbed last time and she has a pretty good relationship with the academy after her previous performances.

Eh as long as the film performs well and is well received (so already halfway there) I’m happy

is this the nativity 21st century style

I can't see Bohemian Rhapsody getting nominated for awards when Bryan Singer is still credited as director.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did everything they could to get his name stricken from the credits tbh. He was fired from the film after all so it wouldn't be hard.

[Ammi]

..it’s a shame they’re both similar release times...Freddie’s story is so interesting and obviously factual...Star is Born is a fictional remake ...so they’re completely different in every which way...but both music based obviously, so I guess will be directly compared...both trailers look incredible and it’ll be like Sophie’s Choice thing to me I’m sure ..in terms of which is the better...I WON’T CHOOSE...no one can make me...

You don’t need to chose you can see both

..yeah I will be watching both, Smithy..but I’m not sure if I’ll go the the cinema to watch Bohemian Rhapsody though...I might wait for the DVD version but I’ll see, I’m not sure yet..but I definately will do the cinema thing with GaGa’s edition of A Star is Born...


..actually with Freddie’s story..?...I’m particularly interested in seeing the on screen portrayal of his relationship with Mary Austin ..his muse and great love etc...I’m not familiar with the actress who will be playing her..so that’s something to look forward to as well...how Lucy Boynton is going to put Mary on screen...

It's because of Directors Guild of America rules he gets credited. I think the usual rule is - when a film has multiple directors - that the person who directs more than 50% of the film gets sole credit.

[Ammi]

..I’ve just googled Bryan Singer...I had no idea of the allegations...I’ve been living in a bubble...

Not to mention regardless of who or what is involved, Bohemian Rhapsody actually looks like a parody rather than a serious movie.
