I am very curious to see people's opinions on this one.
Civil War is a dystopian action film, written and directed by Alex Garland. This is his 4th directorial effort and 8th credited screenplay. He started his career writing the screenplay for Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later and Sunshine. In 2015, he earned an Oscar nomination for writing Ex Machina.
The film has received strong critical praise: 81% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, 7.6/10 IMDB user score. Box-office wise, it's the second highest grossing film from A24.
Kristen Dunst, Jesse Plemons (uncredited), and the action sequences are getting the most praise. On the other hand, the film is receiving some criticism for being neither "Anti-Trump" or "Anti-Woke", and not explaining why the two sides are at war with each other.
What do we think of its Oscar chances? Dunst, Plemens, Garland, and Film Editor Jake Roberts are previous Oscar nominees.

Maybe Sound but for now I'll say it gets nothing except maybe some guild/CCA mentions or something.

So you guys really didn't like this movie? I mean some reviews were very encouraging. I haven't seen it yet.

Sound is going to be so competitive... Dune 2, Gladiator, Furiosa, Twisters, Joker 2, Blitz, Wicked, potentially the animated LoTR movie, the Quiet Place prequal... that I feel Civil War gets lost in the shuffle. MPSE / CAS is probably as far as it goes.

At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. A24 will be focusing on other things.

Why the hell didn't they credit Plemmons when this was such an obviously killer role for him? Does he have only a small cameo?
