FOUR MORE OSCAR TECH CATEGORIES AND THE FAC
As we edge ever closer to Oscar nomination morning, the Film Awards Clearinghouse takes a look at the positioning of the films in the only categories that I haven't enumerated as yet: Makeup/Hair, Visual Effects, Sound Editing and Sound Mixing.
For the purpose of The FAC I gather data from the publicly posted predictions of the following:
Erik Anderson/Awards Watch
Clayton Davis/Awards Circuit
Scott Feinberg/The Hollywood Reporter
Peter Knegt/Indiewire
Joey Magidson/Hollywood News
Nathaniel Rogers/Film Experience
Sasha Stone/Awards Daily
Kristopher Tapley/Variety-InContention
Anne Thompson/Thompson on Hollywood
TFF #42 films are in Bold.
MAKEUP/HAIR
1) Mad Max: Fury Road
2) Black Mass
3) The Revenant
4) Mr. Holmes
5) The 100 Year Old Man...
6) Concussion
7) Legend
Comment: The only possible Telluride connected nominee from the four categories that the blog examines today as "Black Mass" has a chance to be nominated here.
VISUAL EFFECTS
1) Star Wars; The Force Awakens
2) The Martian
3) Mad Max; Fury Road
4) The Walk
5) Jurassic World
6) Transformers: Age of Ultron
7) Ex Machina
8) The Revenant
9) Ant Man
10) Tomorrowland
Comment; The top three films look solid for a nomination here. After them, it's up for grabs for the last two spots.
SOUND MIXING
1) Mad Max: Fury Road
2) Star Wars: The Force Awakens
3) The Martian
4) The Revenant
5) The Hateful Eight
6) Sicario
7) Spectre
8) Jurassic World
9) Straight Outta Compton
10) Creed
SOUND EDITING
1) Mad Max: Fury Road
2) The Martian
3) The Revanant
4) Star Wars: The Force Awakens
5) The Hateful Eight
6) Jurassic World
7) Spectre
8) Inside Out
9) Sicario
10) In the Heart of the Sea
Comment:The top three in Mixing and the top four in Editing seem to be solid. Oft times a musical film will nose its way into one or both of these categories, especially Mixing. "Compton" and "Love and Mercy" might sneak in, but even that appears unlikely.
Oscar nomination announcement day is now just 10 days away and as I post the next three MTFB/FACs, I'll update the categories so that we'll have an up to date picture as we arrive at Nomination morning on Jan. 14.
I'll update these categories on Thursday: Screenplays, Cinematography, Editing, Documentary and Foreign Language Film.
SASHA AND KRIS ARE SAYING...
Last Thursday I looked specifically at the latest Oscar predictions from The Hollywood Reporter's Oscar ace Scott Feinberg to see how Telluride films would pan out if he's 100% correct. Today I'm posting the same process to Kristopher Tapley of Variety's InContention and Sasha Stone of Awards Daily. Here are their latest picks for each T-ride film:
From Tapley:
"Spotlight" (7): Best Picture, Direction, Supporting Actor (Keaton), Supporting Actress (McAdams), Original Screenplay, Editing and Score.
"Carol" (5) Best Actress, Supporting Actress, Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography and Costumes.
"Steve Jobs" (4) Best Actor, Supporting Actress, Adapted Screenplay, Score
"Room" (3) Best Picture, Actress, Adapted Screenplay
"Black Mass" (2) Best Actor, Makeup/Hair
Singles for:
"45 Years" Best Actress
"Anomalisa" Best Animated Feature
"Beasts of No Nation" Best Supporting Actor
"Son of Saul" Best Foreign Language Film
"Viva" Best Foreign Language Film
"The Look of Silence" (TFF #41) Best Documentary
T-ride total = 26 for TFF #42 (27 if you count the TFF #41 "Look of Silence")
From Stone:
"Carol" (8) Best Picture, Actress, Supporting Actress, Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography, Production Design, Costumes, Score.
"Spotlight" (5) Best Picture, Director, Original Screenplay, Editing, Score
"Room" (4) Best Picture, Actress, Supporting Actor, Adapted Screenplay
"Steve Jobs" (3) Best Actor, Supporting Actress, Adapted Screenplay
Singles for:
"Beasts of No Nation" Supporting Actor
"Son of Saul" Best Foreign Language Film
"Viva" Best Foreign Language Film
"He Named Me Malala" Best Documentary
"Anomalisa" Best Animated Feature
"The Look of Silence" Best Documentary (TFF #41)
T-ride total from Stone: 25 (with a 26th if you count TFF #41's "Look of Silence")
Here's the material I blogged about from Feinberg last Thursday:
If Feinberg is right, T-ride films are nominated as follows:
"Carol" (7): Best Film, Direction, Actress, Supporting Actress, Costume, Cinematography and Score.
"Spotlight" (6): Best Film, Direction, Supporting Actress, Original Screenplay, Score and Film Editing.
"Room" (4): Best Film, Actress, Adapted Screenplay and Production Design
"Steve Jobs" (3): Best Actor, Supporting Actress, Adapted Screenplay.
All other films from Telluride would be single nominated films:
"45 Years" Best Actress
"Beasts of No Nation" Best Supporting Actor
"Anomalisa" Best Animated Feature
"Son of Saul" Best Foreign Language Film
"Viva" Best Foreign Language Film
And from TFF #41:
"The Look of Silence" Best Documentary
"99 Homes" Best Supporting Actor.
Telluride totals would be 27 nominations (with two of those from TFF 2014).
If you combine all three of these Oscar pundits to look for the maximum Telluride bang for the buck you could see "Carol" with 10 nominations, "Spotlight" with seven (eight, if it gets three acting nominations), "Room" with five, "Steve Jobs" with four, "Black Mass" with two and TFF #41 with an additional six nominations for one offs for "Beasts", "Saul", "Viva", "45 Years", Anomalisa and "Malala" and an additional two nominations dating back to TFF #41 films.
