@NextBestPicture Do you see this as an Oscars awards contender?

MICHAEL presents an overly audience-friendly take on Michael Jackson’s life story (only up until the release of “Bad”) that will work for the masses and devoted fans eager to watch one of the world’s largest entertainers at the peak of his popularity “play the hits” and find the courage to stand up to his abusive father (portrayed with simmering tension in every scene by Colman Domingo) on the big screen. However, the direction by Antoine Fuqua is as straightforward as it gets for music biopics, playing things so safely that it offers nothing revelatory or even remotely compelling, unless that deeper exploration is being reserved for the supposed second film(?). Jaafar Jackson is undeniably impressive though, capturing his uncle’s mannerisms, stage presence, and vulnerability in a genuine breakout performance. And shoutout to Juliano Krue Valdi who excels as young Michael with only a fraction of the screen time. Ultimately, you’ve seen this film many, many times before.

@NextBestPicture @TheAcademy AND THEY ALSO SHOULD STOP DOING MARCH CEREMONIES!!!!!!!

STOP SCHEDULING THE OSCAR NOMINATIONS ON THE FIRST DAY OF SUNDANCE!!!!!!!!!! @TheAcademy

@AKlay19 There’s no reason for the @TheAcademy to do March ceremonies. Way too long and we get awards season fatigue at that point.

Remember when people said that last year’s Oscars were in mid-March because of the Olympics?

@NextBestPicture Do you think this is a BP and BD contender?

@NextBestPicture @JRParham @Robertdoc1984 Do you think he has an “overdue” narrative to win?

Can #ProjectHailMary Bring Ryan Gosling His Fourth Oscar Nomination? By @Robertdoc1984 #Oscars #Awards #AcademyAwards #BestActor #RyanGosling #FYC #Movies #Film #Cinema #FilmTwitter #FilmTwt nextbestpicture.com/can-project-ha…

@Duhlorean98 I doubt it would get a screenplay nod.

I’m sorry guys, we lost

8/10 Best Picture slots remaining 4/5 Best Actor slots remaining 4/5 Best Supporting Actor slots remaining 4/5 Best Original Screenplay slots remaining 3/5 Best Sound slots remaining 4/5 Best Editing slots remaining 4/5 Best Casting slots remaining

@PaulSRai The score for Project Hail Mary is more traditional to the music branch

I think 9 is its ceiling. I have it for 7 noms. Cinematography will have massive contenders that Fraser could miss, considering what Sandgren does on DUNE 3. Score I’m doubtful. The music branch has it out against Pemberton—consistently ignored for some bizarre reasons. Maybe🤷‍♂️

@mavericksmovies Do you think this film will be the SINNERS of next year in terms of Oscar prospects?

So this was a huge hit with the parents

@NextBestPicture Do you feel that Gosling has an “overdue” narrative to win an Oscar?

Personally? I feel comfortable this far out predicting the following: Best Picture Best Actor Best Adapted Screenplay Best Film Editing Best Production Design Best Original Score Best Sound Best Visual Effects Make sure you’re making your predictions on the #AwardsExpert app

@NextBestPicture Ahhh, I forgot about it…he got that Best Original Song nomination for Chicago 7.

@ghazi813 Well, he “technically” already has one

@NextBestPicture Also, I can’t wait for Daniel Pemberton to finally get an Oscar nom.

@ghazi813 I feel they can make it but given the branch’s bias against sci-fi blockbusters I’m leaving them off for now

@NextBestPicture If this film is top 2 like SINNERS, then I can see both Phil and Chris get in.

@Duhlorean98 I loved Stellan’s performance…wish he had won

SENTIMENTAL VALUE (2025): 9 total Oscar nominations including Editing and Directing. 4 acting nominations, which is the most for an international film. And yet all they could give this movie is Best International Feature?? I’m still beyond pissed yo. We wanted an acting win!

@Duhlorean98 I think Gosling could get nominated for Best Actor

If PROJECT HAIL MARY gets in Best Picture, it'll be the F1 of next year's lineup.

@AKlay19 @ptaglazer Best Actor for Jaafar Jackson could be the prospects for MICHAEL

@ptaglazer It’s a wait-and-see.

Between PROJECT HAIL MARY, DISCLOSURE DAY, THE ODYSSEY, DIGGER, and DUNE: PART THREE, there are already a LOT of blockbusters that could get a Best Picture nomination next year.

@AKlay19 @TheWhaleFace I think for now, predicting the winner for this category will be “tricky” - we will need a couple of years of data to finally understand Best Casting. It would be impossible to know if the previous BP winners in the last couple of yrs would have taken the award.

@ghazi813 @TheWhaleFace twitter.com/aklay19/status…

So ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER won exactly what ANORA did last year (Picture/Director/Acting/Screenplay/Editing) with the addition of Casting, which ANORA also might have won had the category been around last year.

@NextBestPicture @veganmoviesnob Do you think Best Casting will strongly correlate to the BP winner in future years?

@AKlay19 @TheWhaleFace It seems that a possible trend has been established where the Best Casting Oscar could always go to the BP winner.

@TheWhaleFace No way of knowing.
