Golden Globe nomination this morning for Best Picture, as well as noms for Emily Blunt and Meryl Streep.
I am not saying I like her, I am just saying I am not going to let that affect her portrayal in the film. I could care less how she feels about walt however wrong she was, if she is great as the witch she is great as the witch. Now her being a racist or anything like that is a different story. But her not liking walt disney on false assumptions are things I can look past.
I am curious to see how that is going to go. Someone is going to win from this film ala anne hathaway.Golden Globe nomination this morning for Best Picture, as well as noms for Emily Blunt and Meryl Streep.

It is definitely viewed as a "prestige" picture with those in the industry and it is expected to clean up with Oscar noms, including Best Picture. Rob Marshall directed this and he also directed Best Picture winner Chicago.I actually don't think that's true. Into the Woods is a classic, but I don't think it's viewed as a prestige picture like Les Mis was. I could definitely see costuming, hair & makeup nominations, and maybe an acting nom or two (probably Meryl or Blunt), but I'd be surprised by any wins. I don't see it getting a Best Picture nom either - too many other contenders.
I think the movie will be good - the quality of the edits and new material will determine whether or not it'll be great.
The play on which "that August movie" was based won the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award. Granted, the film adaptation was not great, but the play was spectacular.Is it just me or does meryl streep get nominated every year? That August movie was horrific and if i recall her and julia Roberts got nominated for oscars
The film isn't even out yet. How can you claim any of that? And by all means disney crafted this film with oscar bait in mind. We will see when the film comes out how the reactions shall be. But for now it's too early to say it's not going to win much.I actually don't think that's true. Into the Woods is a classic, but I don't think it's viewed as a prestige picture like Les Mis was.

Fun facts: This was previously developed in the 90's with a cast that would have included Cher as the Witch, Robin Williams as the Baker, Goldie Hawn as the Baker's Wife, Steve Martin as the Wolf, and Roseanne Barr as Jack's mother. Director would have been Rob Minkoff, and producer was Craig Zadan. Studio was Columbia. In 1997, Columbia put the film in turnaround and the project stayed inactive for 15 years.
Nobody is winning from Into the Woods.I am curious to see how that is going to go. Someone is going to win from this film ala anne hathaway.
It's really not too early. It's been screened within the industry and for numerous critics. It has won no major category in any regional or unionized or academic awards selections for 2014.The film isn't even out yet. How can you claim any of that?

I guess we will wait and see then. The golden globes coming up should give us a tiny indicator.It's really not too early. It's been screened within the industry and for numerous critics. It has won no major category in any regional or unionized or academic awards selections for 2014.

It really isn't a wait-and-see deal. Pretty much every regional film critics' awards have more-or-less ignored Into the Woods in their final winners.I guess we will wait and see then. The golden globes coming up should give us a tiny indicator.
I've done my research.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Woods_(film)#Accolades
Perhaps you should do a quick google search...
I know some are viewing it as a prestige picture, I just don't think it will actually pan out, Rob Marshall or not. There are too many other best picture contenders: Nightcrawler, Foxcatcher, Birdman, The Imitation Game, Theory of Everything, Boyhood, Selma, Gone Girl, Whiplash, Grand Budapest Hotel, and Unbroken, just to name a few.
That's a bingo.If Into the Woods wins any Oscars, it'll be for things like Art Direction, Costumes, Make-Up etc.
Is there a new song in the film? If not, then no song in the film is eligible in the category.Possible for best original song nomination?
