Hmm, according to what I'm reading, that is indeed true. Unless somebody has other information, I'm going with ineligible. Here's the IMDb information: The question is whether the premiere counts or not I say leave it in 1993. I can't find anything about this random 1992 Hong Kong premiere (only about Jan 1, 1993), for all we know it might've been some screening for the authorities. Or someone put a wrong date on IMDb. Everybody and their mother considers this a 1993 film, c'mon now! Yeah, I thought this over during the night and the whole "premiere" thing seems off to me as well. I posted that before bedtime, and afterwards I'm going "one group of people seeing it is little different from a film festival, isn't it?"

I've come to believe that making a film from children's pov is one of the hardest kind of movies to make; so when I encounter one that has captured some amount of that magic, or one in which child actors give such fine performances, or ends with a happy ending that's actually earned... yep, it feels good.
FYCS: Best Production Design (this must be a shoe-in; oh how this all felt both familiar and otherwordly) Best ensemble Best original score Best song

Kate Maberly is gonna make my ballot too... and everybody forgets that Deakins(!) shot this, and imo it is lowkey one of his best works

So, uh... I just watched The Baby of Macon as my first Greenaway.
This was clearly not a first watch of a director intended by God or His Angels.
(I kinda dig it though. It gets in its own way a lot, but there's no denying the technical feats of the movie. Definite FYC for production design, if nothing else.)

Does anyone know if it is possible to watch the original cut of Iron Monkey, or am I stuck with the Miramax release?

Short CutsBest one scene wonder - Jack Lemmon (not sure if one scene is enough for a nod, but I'm considering it) Co-sign.

Iron Monkey totally rocks and nothing else should even be eligible in choreography. I'm considering throwing it a screenplay nod too - it has an irreverent energy to it that I really enjoyed.
