House of Gucci - Is this the new Best Picture front-runner?

I wish, but I think it’s just the opposite after the trailer. I mean I was predicting it to win Best Picture because I think it will be financially successful, and I think Academy Awards will go with something that makes money this year, but I was always hesitant because Scott doesn’t have the best track record and from what little was known about the film. After seeing the trailer, even if it does well both critically and commercially I think it would still be difficult because at least to me it seems over the tops and campy, and those kind of films never, as far as I know, never win Best Picture.

Of course the final film might be completely different as I’ve seen some people comment because the film isn’t completed yet, and for obvious reasons it makes sense to center the trailer around Lady Gaga because she’s the biggest star in it, and will get people talking. Just focusing on the other non-Gaga scenes though, I saw they do include Jeremy Irons’ character watching clips of his deceased wife I presume, Al Pacino’s character being taken to jail after, and other things like that, that aren’t connected with Gaga, so maybe it will be soapy/campy but still be taken seriously enough as a contender.

I don’t know because again Scott isn’t consistent. On the other hand, many contenders have been pushed back, or had problems of their own, and in a field of 10, maybe there’s room for it.

I don't know about frontrunner - that to me is Power of the Dog based on the awesomeness of the book and my assumption that Jane Campion shot the book just with slight emphasis on Dunst (I'm going with that)

But I think people are misrepresenting Gucci - first of all - this is the movie star movie of the year - if it's just good it's gonna be very big and very big matters a lot this year after last year crapping in the bucket stuff - I like Nomadland a lot - but this year is gonna be big stars in big movies because Hollywood is counting on that.

The trailer was to sell the stars - there's no way Driver is "supporting" in this movie when he's in a bajillion clips  but not talking.........but he will......in the next trailer....

That trailer just told you it's funny, gorgeous and who the cast is .....and people ate that sh it up......talk to normal people about that trailer......they are dying for this movie.......but yeah not front runner atm

Could be an American Hustle but basing on The Counselor and All the Money in the World, it seems like it will filter people again. Ridley is one of the most subversive directors.

Nah it looks way too fun for the Oscars.
