Really looking forward to this. Rudy Ray Moore, reading up on him, is a fascinating, flamboyant, influential figure. And the blaxsploitation-cinema angle, largely and directly relates to the character.....unlike Blackkklansman.

This has the makings of a classic, career sum role for Murphy... like I said earlier in this thread. Another thing is whether the movie addresses Moore's sexuality - if that's the case, in terms of potential Oscar player, we have a real life character, a comeback role, a progressive pick, Netflix money.......
Festival run a good sign....

Definitely another performance to be excited for Fuuuuuuck!! Just in stills alone, Murphy looks brilliant. We've been talking about him a lot recently on the actor/genre impact thread. Some of us feel he can be regarded as the GOAT comedy actor, and his pure acting skills are underrated because he does mostly comedy. Is Murphy being talked about as a potental Best Actor winner for this? Because if he nails it like I suspect he will, this has the ingredients of a Best Actor winning role.

I loved Murphy in Dreamgirls and I'm looking forward to see what he does here.
And those costumes are GORGEOUS

I'm definitely gonna like this...
I really want Murphy to score a nod for Dolemite but I dunno... Looks like, you know, Eddie Murphy. Like playing every other role he's played before. We'll see...

I didn't want to be the first to say it, lol. I mean it looks great and really funny. I can definitely see Globe and possibly SAG too for Murphy depending on how wild they go for other Netflix fare, but not sure about Oscar because it didn't really look like a transformative performance from him. Also just based on the trailer it reminded me of Bowfinger slightly just because they both dealt with a lead character eventually making their own film with high jinks happening as the film within the film is being made. Murphy's Jiff/Kitt was such a scene stealer in that, but here it looks like he's sort of in the Steve Martin role. So he'll still get lots of laughs, but I could see maybe some of the supporting cast having scene stealing moments like Murphy got in Bowfinger too.

I can only see one of De Niro and Murphy being nominated. The last teaser for The Irishman made me a little skeptical of De Niro's nomination chances, but I still have a hard time imagining Murphy getting nominated over De Niro. But of course, a lot will depend on how the two movies will be received.

The last teaser for The Irishman made me a little skeptical of De Niro's nomination chances, but I still have a hard time imagining Murphy getting nominated over De Niro. But of course, a lot will depend on how the two movies will be received. That's another problem with Netflix, imo. They have tons of money, and they were able to campaign two films last year. Although I'm still not sure how much of that was because The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is from the Coen brothers and nominated for categories that Roma didn't get into, and how much of the success of it was due to Netflix alone. For the Oscar, I think they get two guys in at most, so I think Driver is one of those actors unless it's like a Blue Valentine situation where Johansson is able to be nominated because of the weaker category but Driver is snubbed; although, Marriage Story seems much stronger all around than Blue Valentine was. After that I think De Niro would have the best chance, and then Pryce and Murphy are on about the same level right under that. There's also Adam Sandler who could possibly be in the same boat as Murphy this award season in that they're both former SNL with a lot of bad movies, but also both capable of greatness too. Before this trailer, I was more confident in Murphy before because of the talent involved with Dolemite Is My Name vs. the Safdie Brothers who've never come close to Oscar, but I think Sandler's performance could be more transformative which I think would give him the edge.

But of course, a lot will depend on how the two movies will be received. Perhaps I'm just pessimistic, but I have doubts that either can get in. Murphy's probably set for a Globe nod, but unless this gets rapturous attention, I don't know if I can see him get past that point. As for De Niro, my doubts in The Irishman are well-known, but I feel like the Academy isn't really big on "subdued De Niro." It's likely the supporting men are going to dominate the discussion (if even there is a discussion to be had). I still think Driver's going to be their big push (although I'm not yet convinced in his chances to win, unless it becomes a BP frontrunner), unless Adam Sandler comes out of nowhere ( Uncut Gems has a prime release date). I can see him getting a Dreamgirls-esque path, speaking of Murphy, and unlike Murphy he doesn't have the "difficult" rep to contend with.

Murphy looks great in this. Already a shit ton better than DeNiro in The Irishman trailer (who looks like DeNiro doing a mobster performance, except doing it with his last 20 odd years of onscreen lethargy he's been bringing. He looks bored). I feel Scorsese's name and a lot of hopeful nostalgia for the days when DeNiro was brilliant in that type of thing are driving him right now, because I'm not feeling DeNiro based on his trailer, wheras Murphy looks like he's on amazing form. And Netflix do want Murphy to commit to those stand-up specials....
Looks like it has the right amount of funny moments, but with a lot of dramatic pathos about an underdog reaching for his dream. Along with the biopic aspect, I can see the Academy biting. Hope the reviews come through and Murphy seriously contends for the Oscar, because he deserves to have one before his career is done

That Comedy Golden Globe Actor nomination is coming. I’m changing my predictions.

That Comedy Golden Globe Actor nomination is coming. I’m changing my predictions. Good point. I saw posters on another board (Awardswatch I believe) already pencilling in DiCaprio for the Comedy/Musical Globe win for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, but I think he'd have a tough time beating a comedy legend (who looks in top form) like Murphy in this category.
