VariteyWhat do you guys have to say? Do you think WW will get a BP nod? I won't completely dismiss it. They have this and Dunkirk. Would they be campaigning hard for both these or will they focus on Dunkirk, which i think is a wise thing to do. Dunkirk is a much easy sell, with a prestige director at the helm who is long overdue for a nomination.

I enjoyed "Wonder Woman" more than "Dunkirk" but no. Not even in a weak year it can go that far.

I really dig Patty Jenkins´ directing in some scenes in the movie...but no. I expect the film to get some nominations in the technical categories though

They might as well, considering how successful it was, and I do think it'll get a couple tech nods, but when push comes to shove, they'll put more weight behind Dunkirk and Blade Runner. Easier projects to sell to the Academy, and also more likely to get #1 votes. They'll push those much harder once ballots are out.
Much like Inside Out a couple years back, Wonder Woman would've stood a much better chance under the 10-nominee system.

It should also be noted that even if they're pushing it for Picture and Director, it's more so they can keep it in the conversation so that it stands a chance of being remembered for the below-the-line techs by year's end. Which I think it would regardless. I still think it makes PGA and misses Picture, just like Deadpool. |

I haven't seen it, but... this isn't even the most acclaimed superhero movie of the year. This isn't The Dark Knight or Fury Road, getting an astounding amount of support from all over. It's merely considered to be a "good" movie, and no amount of "it's directed by and stars a woman!" politics can change that.

The worst that can happen to the movie is if it gets nominations for director and picture. This will be pure favoritism, as a woman I'd love to see a movie like that and a director nominated IF they deserved it. Wonder Woman is not a great film, it has tons of flaws but overcomes them with tons of heart. Still it's not worthy of nominations, not above Logan and not when something like TDK and someone like Nolan didn't get nominations. The backlash would be huge and very much deserved if it got in.

And yes, SS winning an Oscar is still a surprise. |

Jenkins's direction is strong enough that I wouldn't find a nomination egregious, but I agree, the backlash would be too intense for her or the film's good. Better than giving her a nod she'd get loads of vitriol for would be to actually provide her with more opportunities to work and not let her go another 14 years in between theatrical releases. |

Dayum that means they might have 3 contenders. Wonder Woman, Dunkirk and Blade Runner 2049.

I just don't "get" this at all. It was fun, but campaigning for BP/Director just seems delusional. Maybe screenplay, but even that's a massive stretch. It should get some techs, though.

WEll with the possibility of 10 noms for BP it is not unlikely it will get in. I can also see strong nods for direction. The film was THE summer blockbuster of the year box office wise and also a success with the critics so I think the Academy will consider it.
The only thing i don't see happening is a Best Actress nom for Gal Gadot.

I'm not really sure that they're serious. I could be wrong, but it feels like a publicity thing. It brings WB good publicity to promote something like Wonder Woman, and it probably will help strengthen their relationships with Gal Gadot, Patty Jenkins, etc. especially Gadot. I'm sure that their main Oscar pony is Dunkirk and then Blade Runner 2049, but something like this brings positive attention to Wonder Woman which in the end helps WB even though it seems like they're wasting money on a film that likely won't get any major nominations. |

Well if Paramount can push this film, I see no reason why WB couldn't do the same?  In all honesty this is just typical studio thinking. If they have a well-received blockbuster, they are going to push it as far as they can. |
