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. 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 about 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 You are boring me now.

Anyway, back on topic to save us from the regularly scheduled thread destroyer Footage of Murphy being called up by Foxx at Governors Awards

That kiss emoticon has become your emblem of defeat. The proverbial white flag, if you will I suggest you just post this instead:

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. 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. I could be wrong but Leo is the most vulnerable. QT hasn't had that much luck as of late getting multi nods from his best pictures. The thing is that Leo has won and his peers could be like okay that's enough nods now. Look at Hanks, he hasn't been nominated in nearly 20 years.

DiCaprio is in the group of actors who gets nominated because of their name. There are lots of examples where actors got nominated after they won. OUATIH will also be a big player with Oscar.

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. This post reminds me of another post I read on another forum. I'll just post it here so people can compare the two.

One of the things to always doubt when doing Oscar picks is when people start talking about "the industry" - its a BS term - people who want to feel like insiders when they're not really use it. Since we ourselves are not "insiders" we can't actually question it, it's ridiculous and always comes up each year.
Like prior to this year I'd say Murphy was more than a little disliked in the industry - I don't reckon that's changed .......doesn't mean he can't get nodded, but people put too much into that shit and don't have a clue as to the truth on that (like in that Kidman example, I'm sure she's respected but......she's got 4 nods.......let's not go crazy there)

I would say that maybe a small fraction of "the industry loves this film/person" and "this is going to win so many awards" at early screenings talk actually translates into something. Of course, I am willing to put something down as a possibility like all the hype for The Aeronauts a few months ago, but it's also important to take everything with a grain salt.

Remember when Unbroken was supposedly getting standing ovations at industry screenings and Angelina Jolie was supposed to win Best Picture/Director? Fun times

Other actors could think, we have seen that already from Leo. They could very well keep snubbing Hanks if he continues to do these do gooders type roles. Some people cant be objective.

I think Murphy would have had a good chance any of the last 4 years but this year is the strongest we've had in a while. I think Murphy still has a chance, but I have him at 7th right now. Particularly considering how important the strength of the movies is in a strong year such as this. What are your current predictions for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor?

What are your current predictions for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor? true this is a strong year but we also dont know what they like and why. They could love thst for Eddie, he keeps getting return to form notices and he was a huge star for a reason. It is also a passion project. We also do not know how actors feel about the de-aging process. Does it water down your performance cause of the cgi? Who knows what they are thinking. Right now i have the following: Joaquin Adam Taron Antonio Eddie. I need to think about supporting actor but haven't really. I know Brad After that...ugh..i wanna say Sterling k brown and ????

And just because fans like Eddie Murphy, doesn't mean AMPAS thinks that way. He's only had 1 career nod. His lost was considered a snub since he won BFCA, GG, SAG. And AMPAS did give an Oscar to Jennifer Hudson for the film.

that goes for any actor. Every year, kidman has a thread about her potential for scoring a nod.

The Dolemite Is My Name team ( Eddie Murphy, Da'vine Joy Randolph, writers Larry Karazewski and Scott Alexander, Ruth E Carter and producer John Davis) at an Academy Conversations talk in front of Academy members at the Samuel Goldywyn theatre. They probably all got mistaken for the cast and crew of The Two Popes or something, since Netflix cleary considers nothing about that film to be an Oscar contender

Some of the Academy Conversations So Far This Year: The Irishman Marriage Story Joker Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Jojo Rabbit Pain And Glory Parasite
Dolemite Is My Name is in good company in regards to awards contenders (or hopefuls) getting a spot. Dismissing the relevance of the film and it's company being put up for this because you dug up an oddball indie from 3 years ago which got in there is typical, but expected.

Funny how you didn't mention The King, which is another Netflix movie from this very year I will grant you that Dolemite Is My Name is at least as much of a priority for Netflix as The King is.

Was I right or was I right when I claimed that Netflix didn't really see this as an Oscar contender?
