As of right now Murphy has the best chance to nominated, from what I am reading, but does it have any chance to get anything else? What do you think? Thanks for any comments and opinions in advance!

No bp nod cause academy wont go for it cause of type of movie.
Possible nods
Actor S. Actor S. Actress Costumes O. Screenplay if in category.
Eddie will have hard time cause category is packed. Someone will have to get snubbed big time.

From what I've read, I could see a screenplay nod.

I'm pretty convinced it will get a nod for costumes. Everything else is very stretched. Meaning, best actor, best supporting actor and actress, best screenplay.

Definitely costumes........possibly Murphy - I don't think so but he's not out of the question entirely. I liked it (7/10) but people are overrating the screenplay by talking about how "quotable" the movie is - the movie is quoting Moore's movie(s) - it's really stretching it to say this screenplay is "quotable" in and of itself.

I'm thinking Costume Design is probably the ceiling at this point when it comes to the Oscars, but I think it could be a spoiler for a SAG Ensemble slot.

I think it's probably getting Costumes. Eddie Murphy is a contender for the nomination, but it's a strong year for the category and performances as broadly comedic as his have a hard time getting nominated, particularly if their movie isn't a Best Picture nominee. I'd probably put him at 7th in the race right now. Outside of those two nominations, maybe Screenplay but I doubt it. It's also probably Netflix's 4th priority for the Oscars this year.
I guess I'll say it gets one nomination: Costumes.

I think people are definitely sleeping on this movie's potential. It literally speaks to people in the industry and you feel good after watching it. Tough movie to dislike.
Jamie Foxx brought Eddie Murphy on stage at the Governors Ball yesterday, and not only did the very industry crowd give Murphy a very enthusiastic reception, the whole crowd started hollering when Foxx said Dolemite Is My Name. People in the industry have seen the movie, and they are digging it. The signs are there...
At this stage, I'm not sure Murphy misses. Too much passion. He probably takes the Comedy Globe as well.
Costumes should be a given. Maybe original screenplay.
I think Wesley Snipes is a real contender in supporting actor, and very well may push out one of the currently more predicted actors. People are loving the performance and he's got a good comeback narrative.
Supporting Actress is a possibility, and in an expanded field, so is Best Picture.
So the ceiling is pretty high for this. It could show up everywhere or underperform At worst, I think Murphy, Costumes and probably original screenplay get in.

I don't think voters will care that it's quoting Moore's movies. Let's not forget Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet nod. The movie is by all accounts a "quotable" fun movie about the industry, and in the end people are going to see that, not Moore's films.

I guess Costumes are its best chance. I think everything else just screams Golden Globes more than anything else. Murphy's obviously lovely in it but I can't see him make it to the top five unless Netflix really pushes the heck out of him. The movie's a bit too light to make a bigger impact as far as his chances go, in my opinion.

Well, I think pacinoyes isn't really talking about the script's awards chances but just about how some folks perceive the script in general. And he's quite right - the only quotable stuff in there comes from Rudy himself. So it's indeed a stretch to call the script quotable. Unless ' I'm so grateful for what you did for me, cause I'd never seen nobody that looks like me up there on that big screen' is gonna become the new ' I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore' (which I highly doubt). I mean, good for people who like the flick but this one seems like it's gonna be forgotten as soon as the awards season is done.

Interesting tweet about how people were responding to Murphy and Dolemite Is My Name at the Governors Awards:

I put murphy back in my nods and i think it will score at least one supporting nod.

I think the Globes are going to go big for it and we might see it show up at some guilds - WGA seems like a real possibility assuming it's not one of the dozens of films that somehow are every year - that will keep it buzzing about, but when the Oscar nominations come out it will only get costumes.

I think the film imo is going to play like gangbusters with the industry. It's definitely the type of film that will speak to them. I definitely see this being a hit with actors/SAG, Murphy is a real dark horse to be nominated and win SAG as well as the Golden Globes. Anyway these categories I see it having a good shot of getting nominated for on its best morning: Best Picture Best Original Screenplay - Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role - Eddie Murphy Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role - Wesley Snipes Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role - Da'Vine Joy Randolph Best Achievement in Costume Design - Ruth E. Carter I believe those 6 categories are in play for this film. I'm pulling for this film!

It seems like not only is Dolemite the 4th priority for Netflix, it may not even be a priority as an Oscar contender. The Chief Content Officer for Netflix pretty much said Dolemite is not an Oscar hopeful and it sounds like Netflix isn't even campaigning for Dolemite.

Exactly. Voters like what they like. This "it"s not a Netflix priority" stuff means very little if people organically see and like the film without having to be told to vote for it by the production company. On paper, those other films seemed more obvious bait, but Dolemite looks like something organic. You cannot buy the the buzz it had at something like the Governors Awards.It's very possible Netflix did not fully realise they had an across the board contender on their hands (and it's clear Ted Sarandos of Netflix was at least prioritising a Best Actor campaign for Murphy in his Oscar strategy, the only actor he actually mentioned by name). We are now finding out that there seems to be clear excitment and affection for the film overall in industry circles. Which changes a lot.

I read it as Sarandos lumping in Murphy as an Oscar hopeful/priority, but that line can be spun anyway you want it to, especially if you have an agenda.

LOL, you're the only one with an agenda here, and the way you read it is nonsensical. Michael Bay TOOscar hopefuls like The Irishman,, Marriage Story, AND The Two Popes TOEddie Murphy's return in Dolemite So long as you know what "to" and "and" mean, the meaning there is clear.

Exactly. Voters like what they like. This "it"s not a Netflix priority" stuff means very little You sure? It didn't seem like you thought Netflix's priorities meant very little when you were peddling the "$70M Comedy Special" thing to mean that Eddie Murphy was Netflix's biggest priority Yeah, just like it's clear Netflix was prioritizing a Best Director campaign for Michael Bay, the only director he actually mentioned by name. It seems like whatever people say, you just hear what you want to hear

Wow, nice TO know you worked out Ted Sarandos doesn't consider Murphy an Oscar hopeful based on the word TO
Ironic, considering how often you parse my posts for "spin". You really are trying too hard here. Trying to talk down Murphy and his film won't help DiCaprio's odds.

Sarandos mentioned Murphy after he mentioned Oscar hopefuls. He mentioned Bay before that. It's clear Bay was not part of that thought for him. I guess you can spin Murphy either way. But yeah, you can stop with this as your smoking gun. It's tres desperate.

LOL, literally everybody who read that line got the same thing from it that I did. That the delusional king of spin (who's been in stan mode for this movie from several months ago) deliberately misconstrues it won't change the basics of the English language. Whether or not this helps DiCaprio's chances is irrelevant. I'm not giving my opinion here. I'm giving tweets from other people that suggest something factual. And literally everybody but you is interpreting those tweets the same way I am. Your 180 about Netflix's biggest priority being Murphy because of his Comedy Special to now saying what Netflix prioritizes means very little is as amusing as anything you've ever done
