Netflix keeps trying to win the game by virtue of sheer numbers AMPAS got the nomination slots....Netflix got the movies...its all in the game tho right? "Ey yo, what up, Oscar." "For the record, you are identifying the Academy Awards?" "It's just Oscar to me."

Also, wonder if Hillbilly Elegy tanking influenced this decision for Netflix.
Maybe they suddenly realised they had some free money in their awards campaign budget that they no longer had to waste on Amy Adams and Glenn Close.

Thank you for not being a Bad Terminator this time Chuck is doing everyone a good favor indeed. I think all of us can only take so much of "whoa is us, desperate squinting Glenn Close look", before it drives us cuckoo .

Back to this film though, I'm curious to see the final product since it was a bare bones type production. Probably no tech nominations or anything, probably a Zendaya nom and an original screenplay nom, maybe? That's assuming its good, but the article pointed out Netflix is ready to put a full campaign behind it, so it must be some type of quality.

Hard to say, because we know so little about the final product, but maybe it could get a Zendaya nomination if its well-received enough?! She's certainly a rising star and a nomination would help push that further. Plus this year isn't exactly the most competitive in terms of "best actress"

That age gap is gross. Hard pass. LOL, didn't a 34-year-old Naomi Watts date a 23-year-old Heath Ledger? Eh, when the woman is the older one and it isn’t more than 10ish years (they only had a 9 year age gap) it’s fine. And she looked way younger for her age anyway.

Loving the twist this thread has now taken which is far more interesting to me than a JDW/Zendaya movie - but hey maybe it's good, sure why not...... Just to offer a pacinoyes hot take: any relationship between consenting adults who are honest is ok and a lot of ladies enjoy the company of an older dude who can actually tell you EXACTLY where your favorite actor ranks (ahem), AND who the best bands are, yanno? That's tough to compete with for little Bucky, Spanky or Timmy or whatever poorly dressed young man would like to steal time from that fair young princess and even if they could compete with it........I can just pay them to go the fnck away ammirite?. Date this and talk politics and the weather? No......I won't !!

Well, my wife is almost 11 years younger than me so we'll probably never make an Oscar-worthy movie together...

Because I almost always overreact obligatory she’s coming lol. Seriously though this was something I didn’t expect. Hope it’s a good sign and not just one person who likes/loves it while most people think it stinks.

Wonder how different the race might look when it comes to the industry awards because of some of these late-breaking films with awards potential like Malcolm And Marie.If this holds up, Zendaya and John David Washington are both having a hell of a year.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if Zendaya's a potential contender, at least if the movie delivers on its "quality". Honestly feels like there's an Oscar narrative of sorts building for her, particularly since she's one of the hot new actresses right now.

I like how this thread briefly took a weird turn about age gaps. But this movie still seems like it has potential!

This is such a fucked line of thinking. The bit about Naomi looking young for her age? Agreed. I suspect she was trying to absorb some his talent but clearly did not succeed.
