This one is interesting. Apple just released the trailer today. It is based on a book of the same name. Peter Farrelly writes and directs this biographical action comedy film, starring Zac Efron, Russell Crowe, and Bill Murray. The film is about John "Chickie" Donohue and his journey to sneak beer into Vietnam and give American soldiers a beer as a thank you.
Normally I wouldn't consider a movie with the word "beer" in the title an Oscar-movie, but it is written and directed by a two-time Oscar winner for Green Book. Patrick J. Don Vito edits the motion picture. He was nominated for best film editing for Green Book.
How do you think the Academy and Guilds will perceive the movie?

Looks better than expected, sure to be some boos booze at the TIFF premiere (that it's playing TIFF, a good sign)..... no Oscars but maybe a Golden Globe Comedy nom for Efron?

Honestly looks pretty funny.

Based on Green Book's success, no reason to doubt it too much, I could see Efron learning a lot about the war, with some dramatic musical swells, and when there's musical swells there's Oscar potential.

Think it looks pretty good tbh and will be a nice blend of comedy and drama. Expect it to do pretty well with audiences.

Efron is a better dramatic actor than Adam Driver, based on Charlie St. Cloud alone.

Looks decent enough, don't think it'll get any noms though.

I'm actually really into the trailer, but I'm not getting Oscar vibes from it. Could do some damage with the Globes though.

The trailer looks really good. Definitely looks like it is going to touch on topical issues. It's not just about a guy giving beers to people. I can see Apple campaigning hard for the production, just like with Macbeth and CODA. It just also might be the movie where Zac Efron will be seen as a "serious actor". |

I don't feel like it's going to have the narrative of something like CODA, which benefited from exhaustion against the presumed frontrunner of the year and had the crowdpleaser element to it as well as a strong social narrative that I don't think this film will have. I want this to be good and it looks very fun, but I don't think it's going to be able to squeeze into those big categories with some of the competition we're seeing this year. Mayyyyyybe screenplay. |

After giving it some thought, even though I. Not predicting it, I do see a path for this to get something like BP, Screenplay, Editing, and maybe Supporting Actor (for Murray or Crowe) noms.

Murray looks to be a bit part, judging by the trailer (bartender at home ain't gonna be a part of the main narrative). Crowe I can definitely see. |
