Jack, why do you think there's zero chance of TFA getting nominated?

Posted by Inigo (aka Inigo) Dec 15 '15, 07:13

If the reviews are strong (say 90% or more on RT), and there's enough buzz, I'm not sure why this can't be another Avatar.

I don't see it as likely, but the potential is there. Why are you 100% sure it won't?

He explains it down the board (not why it won't, but why it would be hard for it to achieve) -- nm* - ty97 Dec 15, 07:21
No one's expecting anything new from a Star Wars movie. -- nm - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 15, 07:19
'cause it sucks. -- nm - decline Dec 15, 07:18
it will get technical nominations i would think. but things like Best Picture? i say no. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 15, 07:16 2
- FX and sound, but Avatar had awards/noms for cinematography, art direction, editing, etc. I don't think SW is seriously in the running for those -- nm - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 15, 07:22
- I wouldn't rule it out, but I would say the odds are approximately 3720 to 1. - Beryllium Dec 15, 07:19
Because it's a film for children and child-like adults. -- nm - Grumpy reviewer in 1977; now academy member Dec 15, 07:16 1

    - What goes on in that tiny dog brain of yours? - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 15, 07:21 18
      - Show me the bet, then. But I made a far better proposal last night than any you would come up with. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 15, 07:23 14

        Okay David, dual domestic bets. Opening weekend (JW) and 6 months (Avatar) box office. - Spawn Solo Dec 15, 07:25 12
        
        I've legitimately never seen anyone obfuscate so hard to get out of a bet. - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 15, 07:30 11
        
        You have that a bit backwards. Mine was rather clear but you want the bet that we will not know the result of for 10 years? Sure. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 15, 07:32 10
        
        You just accepted a bet while in the same breath explained how you'd cheat your way out of it. - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 15, 07:34 9
        
        I, for one, don't like this bet. I don't want to have to wait until March for whatever obnoxiousness will follow. - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 15, 07:43 2
        
        Yeah, that was my goal. - Spawn Solo Dec 15, 07:45
        
        Then feel free to bet him. -- nm - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 15, 07:44
        
        So now it is $600M by March 1st? Okay, accepted. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 15, 07:38 5
        
        What the fuck are you bitches babbling about? - ShaunShaun Dec 15, 07:39 4
        
        how to make a simple bet complicated 101. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 15, 07:41 3
        
        No need for an argument there. Just offer Spawn simple terms and watch him go. -- nm - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 15, 07:42 2
        
        You never really offered any terms! That was why I finally offered you terms last night (which you turned down today). -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 15, 07:44 1
        
        That's it. You're grounded. -- nm - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 15, 07:44
      - well, I know it is not winning Trials of Osirus strategies. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 15, 07:23 2
        
        Oryx challenge mode has been beaten. I'm not even going to attempt it. -- nm - ShaunShaun Dec 15, 07:24 1
