Glenn Close, please! But then it won't win any Oscars. That's a standard procedure: Meryl wins the Oscars. Glenn wins no Oscars.

I hope this is Road to Perdition/Jarhead/Skyfall Mendes, and not any other movie he's made Mendes.
Seriously, though, Deakins is doing his best Chivo impression here and it looks fantastic.

It's definitely getting nominated in the sound categories, imo, but to me it seems like they're marketing it more as an action film rather than a prestige film. I'm not sure if that means anything for its award chances in other categories or not though.

Hm, looks like they’re just selling this as Dunkirk for WWI.
In for Deakins.

I'm not sure if that means anything for its award chances in other categories or not though. Tech noms galore for sure. Deakins will definitely get in for this ahead of “Goldfinch”. Maybe Mendes can sneak in for director too?

I'm not a big fan of war movies, esp. WW1 and WW2 ones. But for this one, I was sold even before watching the trailer. Count me in!!

This just clinched it: time for a Gallipoli rewatch.

Great. I'm getting really Dunkirk vibes from this.
Officially my second most anticipated movie of the year (behind An Officer and a Spy).

Rumor is it will be edited to make it seem like it was filmed in one shot a la Birdman, which after watching that the second time wasn't too special or probably even that difficult

I'm gonna be that guy again...this looks bland. It's giving me the vibes that either it's not going to have characters at all (like Dunkrik) or half-ass the characters to half-heartedly satisfy an assumed prerequisite of MOVIE (also like Dunkirk).
Hopefully it'll be R at least.

Possibly, but Sam Mendes doesn't have the best track record post-American Beauty. Maybe this won't flop, but I don't know if Dunkirk couldn't do it with its box office success and with frontrunner Three Billboards fading so much by the end except for in the acting categories, I don't really expect this to even with the Birdman gimmick.
If it can get a writing nomination, I would feel better about its chances. However, I still think that the acting branch ignores it, and I don't see it winning unless it can get the support of them which is why I would still feel better about OUATIH and Marriage Story's chances at least right now.

It should be noted that while Sam Mendes hasn't had the best luck with the Oscars post American Beauty, his most acclaimed movies after are Road to Perdition, a movie that received a lot of technical awards, and Skyfall, a James Bond movie that obviously wouldn't have much luck with the big awards. The "much better then Dunkirk" thing definitely piqued my interest. I very much doubt it'll do as well as that film, but if this has even more glowing reviews then Dunkirk (which had huge acclaim obviously), then I think that improves its Oscar chances tremendously. Not sure about director, but I could definitely see it getting a best picture nomination. For the record I had written off the movie past some technical awards like cinematography, and score. If this is as good as we're hearing, then that definitely shakes things up in the Oscar race.

I have a sneaking suspicion that there will be no middle ground for this... it'll either be great or it's gonna suck.
But at least it'll probably be gorgeous to look at.
