Let's hope that Hanks can work some of his co-star campaigning magic for Matthew Rhys. BAFTA winner Matthew Rhys has a nice ring to it.

This is going to be a huge Oscar contender across the board.

As I suspected, looks like this year's Green Book, just hopefully not problematic. Hyped for Rhys.

Hanks has been delivering great work but is consistently overlooked come awards season. I don't think that will be the case this year.

The Academy always eats up these “power of friendship” tales, so I think Sony can get a big hit and a contender out of this. I don’t actually think Hanks will win, because I can’t fathom him nabbing a third after an 18 year Oscar drought, but he’ll be competitive for sure. This is trending on Twitter btw with over 3.3 million views in 9 hours and 1.5 on YT.

I love Tom Hanks and I remember Mr. Rogers well but it's difficult for me to buy Hanks as Rogers It's just Hanks playing awfully kind :/

Hanks looks wonderful but some of the shots in the trailer felt redundant to me.

Looks Okay, many American will love it, I guess. Depending how well the movie is going to be received, I can totally see Hanks not only getting nominated but winning too, especially because it's (from what I hear) a supporting role (seems like a boderline one, which is even better awards wise). If Mahershala Ali can win 2 supporting oscars so early (with a first one being undeserved imo) why a legend like Hanks can't win a 3rd (and supporting) one at this point ? I know he hasn't been nominated (or for some, snubbed) for some of his leading work since a long time but this is supposed to be a supporting role and a biopic about a loveable American figure, IF it gets several nominations (like Marielle Heller's last movie...but we are not here yet), Hanks will be in the mix, even if the role itself is not a stretch for him, at all. Wait and see.

Wait and see. If the Theron/Kidman/Robbie Fox News movie gets good enough reviews, my early money is on John Lithgow winning supporting actor. He's the type of legendary character actor who it's almost shocking he's never won an Oscar (despite 2 nominations decades ago in the 80's). 6 Emmys, two Tonys he is an awards favorite in the other mediums....if the film delivers, I think Lithgow will get a similar awards season coronation to his Winston Churchill in The Crown a few years back.

Yeah of course it will also depends of the competition and if an overdue veteran like John Lithgow (and his movie) deliver, things will be harder for Hanks. OR even the very very very very arguably greatest actor that ever lived, Willem Dafoe, who is coming for his third consecutive nom for The Lighthouse (and apparently has others high profile movies this year), at one point, he's going to be hard to ignore.

After Cannes, many believed Pitt would not be in the BA category and was a lock for winning supporting.
After the Rogers trailer many believe Hanks won't be in the BA category and is a lock for winning supporting.
It's gonna be one hell of a category this year, we shouldn't rush in making assumptions. There are many big roles yet to come: Lithgow, Hopkins, Pesci/ Pacino/ Graham, Bale, Dafoe, Chalamet, Waititi....

I’ve seen it. John Lithgow isn’t happening. Not a chance. Better bet is Pacino if he delivers something special in The Irishman or Brad Pitt if he’s pushed Supporting (which is becoming increasingly likely imo)

Because it’s a showcase for the ladies. He doesn’t have the material to even justify a nomination, let alone a win. And he’s not great in the film. Even if he did, you’d have to consider the optics here. A man winning for basically playing Harvey Weinstein in a film about women banding together to put an end to sexual harassment in this social climate would cause such an uproar that I think we can safely say that’s just not going to happen.

It looks cute, even though Hanks doesn't look/sound much like Mr. Rogers. I cried watching the doc last year despite never even seeing one episode of his show, so I'll watch it anyways.

Mr. Rogers is pretty much completely unknown here in Russia so watching the trailer I didn't experience that feeling of reverence and attachment to him like many Americans surely did but I have to say that I'm once again very impressed and intrigued by what Hanks is doing. The man remains one of the most consistently great actors of our time and his subtle work with voice is always something that I'm looking forward to. Having seen some clips of Rogers I feel that Hanks has really captured his essence here.
Although the movie around him does look a little bit basic. The last scene in the trailer reminded me of the "Darkest Hour" subway scene and that is not a compliment.

Honestly I’m just thrilled that Matthew Rhys is getting a big role in a film.

He doesn't really look like Mr. Rogers imo. I smell Snub, sorry. Who cares if he looks like him if he embodies the character?

The actors at the very least. The film has a lot of the same energy as an Adam McKay film. Breakneck pace, giant ensemble of A-listers playing characters constantly breaking the fourth wall, editing that sort of causes a dizzying effect, ect. Charlize Theron and Margot Robbie have the best roles, Kidman gives Margot Robbie a run for Supporting MVP. Adam McKay slayed with Vice very nearly having bait fail level reviews.. remains to be seen in the industry is really into this sort of film or if they just like him.
