Michael Jackson movie will do wonders with appropriate marketing. As long as they concentrate on his rise to stardom and avoid dwelling on the controversial part of his life that would push away his fans, billions is certain.

Theu can't avoid the controversial part of his life. It's a significant event. If they avoid it, it'll draw massive criticism.

To the beautiful soul that recommended KINGDOM movie franchise, oil dey your head. I must confess that it made my weekend , i can't remember the last time i had a blast like this.

If you can see this, please recommend any other movie that's as rich in warfare as it was.

They should treat it delicately.
Leave it vague. It shouldn't be like they are leaning to one side or the other.

Even without marketing, it would definitely make a billion. Abduleez doesn’t understand how insanely popular MJ is. MJ has been popular since the 70s till now I.e old folks, millennials, zoomers are fascinated with his life - for a 7 years old to even know his face is insane. An MJ movie would be an event. Music is so universal just as MJ - his song was pop, rock, dance, country and even r&b

Early predictions for Oscar contenders 2024...

If Gladiator II dips, "DUNE: Part 2" is the clear favourite to win it imo. I can't explain it, but barely any other movie bar these 2, on that list, has the flair or charisma to be best picture imo.

In hindsight, it might be a free hit season at Best Picture this time around, unlike last year when "Oppie" was the overwhelming favourite, as soon as everyone saw the movie, it instantly clocked, that no other movie was gonna top it 😩, basically game over by 21/7/23, barely half of the movie year gone at that point...see Christopher Nolan is really that Guy 👌🏿.


Come to think of it, i haven't seen any overwhelming individual performances that are pulling clear of the male and female lead cate...i think, it is only Demi Moore that even remotely deserves a shout at this point...This movie year maann...uncanny to say the least.

CONCLAVE is having increasing shouts to become the best movie judging by recent polls.
Somehow to me DUNE Part II don't have enough juice to win Best Picture. Surely will get nominated but that March release puts it farther away from voters consciousness — unless WB kickstarts a mad marketing campaign. Gladiator II has the upper hand here. But still something tells me the prestigious award ain't going to them both. My guess is to either CONCLAVE, ANORA or THE BRUTALIST.

For the acting categories Mikey Madison in ANORA seems to be getting the most shouts alongside Angelina Jolie for MARIA. Ralph Fiennes looks like the overwhelming majority to win the Best Actor, to a lesser extent Adrien Brody too. As for the rest, anything can happen.

Like you said, this season its anything goes unlike last year when it was clear who were the Best Pic, Best Actor and Supporting Actor.
Here's VARIETY's predictions below. 👇🏽👇🏽

Broo..that list..which movies are even those?? 😩😩😂.... haven't even seen any buzz or even heard about like 70% of them and suddenly they are getting Oscar shouts??

Maybe, am been slow to movie news these days cuz i have heard fk all about the movies on that list, but certainly looks like a mid fest oscar, if those are the movies in contention imo...fingers crossed tho.

IngeniousLeez:
Nah bro.... Nothing mid in this year's contenders compared to last year. Last year had Oppenheimer being the clear favourite all through the year. This one is very much competitive. You've also not seen almost all of the named films as they've mostly been available at film festivals.
I'd say you're very much not up to date in current awards buzz and campaign for this year cos I've seen buzz for literally all the movies on that list except probably A Real Pain with very recent buzz.

ANORA is the 2024 Palme d'Or winner making it the fifth win in a row for NEON. Its a major contender for Best Picture.

EMILIA PEREZ has Best Actress wins for its lead actresses (Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldana, +2 others) and won the Jury Prize — the 3rd most coveted award at Cannes.

THE ROOM NEXT DOOR won the Golden Lion prize at Venice.

CONCLAVE recently started its push and it's an overwhelming favourite for Best Picture win. With Ralph Fiennes being the favourite for Best Actor.

THE BRUTALIST won Silver Lion at Venice for Best Director. With Adrien Brody having good shouts for Best Actor nom.

BABYGIRL has a Best Actress Volpi Cup win for its lead Nicole Kidman in Venice.

THE PIANO LESSON has very good buzz for Best Supporting Actress role for D@nielle Dëàdwylér and Supporting Actor for Samuel L Jackson.

BLITZ just came out and has good shouts for Saoirse Ronan for Best Actress and Best Picture nom.

QÜEER has good buzz for Daniel Craig for Best Actor.

MARIA has been gaining momentum with Best Actress shouts for Angelina Jolie since it debuted at Venice. She was the frontrunner for a while before Demi Moore started gaining prominence with THE SUBSTANCE — which I doubt the Academy will acknowledge given their history with horror genre.

There's also other smaller films just starting their campaigns like JUROR #2, NICKEL BOYS, NOSFERATU and foreign submissions like THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG & ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT with major wins in Cannes for both.

As for WICKED, I don't know wtf that movie is doing there. Seems like Ariana Grande fans wants to force the movie in the conversation cos of its box office potential.

This year might be the most interesting and competitive we've seen in years. With no crystal clear winner. Even the overwhelming favourites look not strong enough to dominate all major categories like OPPENHEIMER and SHOGUN has done earlier this year.

I don't see DUNE PART TWO winning Best Picture or the acting categories but it will be dominant in Best Cinematography, Director, VFX, Makeup, Editing and Costume, Best Score etc. It strengths is in the technical awards.

Thanks for bringing me up to speed because believe you, me, Anora is the only movie on there, that i have even heard whiff about, i didn't follow the film festival season this year at all.

My context of favouring "DUNE: Part 2" stem from the fact that, it excelled in every department in my POV and it's the only one i have actually seen first hand, and not what some jurors at a film festival are saying, but i failed to bring to bare that, one key ingredient of Oscar Best Picture nod in recent times, is to be an artsy and arthouse flick passing some kind of social conscious message ((dangerously close to using the word, "woke" here😩). I mean i just googled the "Emilia Pèrez" flick, and one word that stuck out was "transitioning", like DUNE:Part 2 stands no chance against a flick like this, this is the Oscar Jurors bread and butter!.

The last 4 best picture wins, before last year, were CODA, Nomadland, EEAAO, and if you look closely, there is a defined pattern and requirements that sadly, DUNE:Part 2 doesn't meet.
