 I never happened to you Micah Okay Hey, welcome back to our stupid rakes. It's the Corbin. I'm here. Yep. Yeah You false ain't scrapped to the front Follow him over there Elon muskland Kanye land Honey up and for a day Elon a little back on cuz Elon's a frickin Wild man. I ain't denying that Today We've got this request to do this Buy quite another pole dancing request. Yes No, people want us to talk about our and its chances and what categories we think it actually has Oh, okay, opportunity. We were just doing this yesterday you To get and if you haven't heard it's actually making waves in a lot of awards lately So the award season here At the buzz begins during the film festivals, right? Mm-hmm, but the first I think the first Awards that get handed out of the New York Film Critics and then there's just a slew that go back to back to back all the way through to the Oscars and SS Rajmouli got best director at the New York Film Critics Yeah, and also these one at the Critics Association and the Atlanta Film Critics Circle So obviously that that all that being said, that's not who votes for the Oscars so that it's different There's about 10,000 members at the Academy and it's all filmmakers and people in the industry, right? Producers included so it's not critics. So this that's a right that that's a different so just because it wins This doesn't mean it'll ever get a nomination. No, but I want to go over its nomination Mission The 14 categories they submitted themselves for I what we what we think is most like and I would say right off the bat I don't know what the Vegas odds would be on this. I Would bet money It's gonna get something. Yes. I do I there's gonna be at least one Yes, and I do want to say first and foremost that its best chance would have been foreign film 100% it would have it would have been nominated probably won Because of how popular it is here It probably would have not only be able to a thousand percent been nominated that wouldn't even a question No, it would have won it could have won. I think obviously I would have to see the other ones But the popularity of it here. I probably would have massive right and so Take that with what you will with the idiots at the Oscar-nominated committee of India morons But since it's not they can still submit themselves for any category anything Yes, and as I understand but for foreign it has to be the country that submits it that the people who were responsible for promoting it and doing that for Ganga by There was an article in Variety this morning They were talking to Ali Abad and that's actually happening. They're campaigning Ganga by for the Oscars as well. Oh nice. Yeah, and I believe they hired the Some firm that also did I don't know if it's firm But promotion company to help get it everywhere and get it out that the same ones that did drive my car Which obviously did well really well wards and Oscars and that's a great group to have Promoting your film how to absolutely so that's good But the 14 categories they themselves submitted for our director actor best supporting actor original song original score film Editing best sound best original screenplay supporting actress Cinematography production design costume design make-up and hairstyling and visual effects. So those are the four that they could Possibly get nominated for not that the 12 that they submitted themselves that they could get nominated for And we're not saying it will get nominated for anything. We think it will Think it will get something I believe After Oscar nom's come out if it doesn't get something it will be in the conversation when you look up snubs People everyone will talk about the fact that there was a shock that are I didn't get a nod of some kind But we'll talk about the ones we think it'll be most right for I think we were literally talking about this in the car Yesterday, I think the most likely and the one I would be most happy with is the original song I agree for not to not to I think you can't show me a song that's come out this year That is better in a film than not to not to and I just can't I it is one of the I said this in the review And I've read this in another review for in Variety's review Fred I think it was theirs or Hollywood reporters that said and it is not to not to is one of the greatest musical numbers in cinematic history on par With stuff that MGM used to do back in the day. Yeah, and this is on that level of class It would be great To be able to have that performed as well. So I think more people would explore Indian cinema as well Oh, what was that? They would torch the place which I think is probably the biggest hurdle for our at the Oscars is People seeing it people need to that's the way it is with everything It's the way it is with everybody. A bunch people have but that doesn't mean everybody had I saw Daniro At a film festival a couple years ago, and he was one of the the main people I think he was chairing the festival and said even at that festival He said the problem is just the time to watch everything Anywhere at any festival if you're on any nominating committee It's impossible to see everything and that's why you have promotions and word of mouth Because the thing that's talked about the most and promoted the most is most likely to be seen Yeah, which is why it's a nominate foreign category the second most I would believe would be director, right? I agree. Yeah, right yep He I think I think the song is more likely the most likely I feel like Yeah, director. I feel like a lot of people since they love this movie Really appreciate and also the fact that the Oscars wants to have diversity That's a big it would be so it'll be an amazing event first people get nominated diverse films Yep, which is also why I think picture would be one of the more likely ones It's still like it's that would probably be a very tough category because it's Picture, but I also think the Oscars wants to and start including foreign films in their best pictures more Exactly and and ever since they opened it up to a 10-picture category Which they don't all more often than not they don't fill all 10 slots. Yeah, so that for me The buzz of it and the fact that he's been he's won already at some awards places Puts I think both the picture and the director thing kind of neck and neck. Yeah for its odds. Yeah Still a long shot. There's a shot. Mm-hmm Both could happen. Yeah, it's it's definitely a shot. I don't think any of the actors will Even though obviously we love them all and we think they all did a great job Yeah, but I don't there's only five categories in each acting slot It's not gonna happen. It's a strong year as well for performances. Yeah here. It won't happen Hollywood films So I don't think that'll happen. I think the editing ones since it's a big action film So editing editing and sound and visuals. I think those could have a good chance because there and here's a reason The way the Oscars were it's not like they do in India for awards. It's not bought, right? Even though obviously it is it's not bought in in the same way Obviously you need to have money and you need to be able to promote right in that way certain films can be bought Right, but the people that vote on these so an actor does not vote on sound an actor does not vote Like denier who's probably probably the oh, he's for sure a member of the Academy He can only vote on picture and acting category. Yeah, everybody votes for picture But then you only vote for your discipline and that makes sense because why would an actor vote for visual effects? You don't know what the freak has to be done to do that visual effects artists voting on vfx And so those are usually the big war films or the big action films Marvel films often get nominated there Those people probably definitely saw are absolutely and so I would say those categories could be pretty high up there And I'd still see it like I said all this is more of a long shot then if it was a Hollywood film They would be guaranteed I absolutely but just because it's a foreign film if everything is harder for it, right? Because it's good in the visual effects category. It's gonna be going up against dr. Strange Wakanda avatar avatar Black Adam it's gonna be going up against a big DC Marvel heavyweight visual effects plus James Cameron's here And again five categories the thing that would push it over the edge that I don't think either one of us would know if the visual effects We're groundbreaking if something was done in the visual effects that Was brand-new to the art form of visual effects that was really groundbreaking that was charting new territory The odds of visual effects getting a nod go way up Well, and you guys saw that the corridor crew that we've reacted many times visual effects artists They work in the industry We're praising our an astonished at some of the practical things that they thought were vfx like the miniature train Yeah, which was magnificent So if there is something ground-breaking or unusual or trailblazing in the visual effects work That raises the odds for the visual effects not a screenplay. I guess it could but I would say that very long long long Once again strong year for for screenplays cinematography Like I said more likely by screenplay screenplay, but I still say I Not would be the ones that I would predict no for for this production design could that could be one It could go along with the effects because of the stuff we talked about The costume design could it because maybe people that saw it Like the different because it's usually period pieces that yes And obviously this is a period piece and it's obviously India as well, right, but it's more historical ones Yeah, like really dramatic history. Yeah, though This isn't gonna happen if the conversation was comparable between PS nominated between PS1 and This PS1 would get costume nods because it's a more grounded not fantastical telling of history. Yeah Make-up and hairstyling could long shot though Yeah So out of those if I'm predicting right now, and I think it could get more than what I'm saying But if I if I'm a betting man One to two would I I think be a fantastic night Yeah, I would predict song and director would be the two that if I'm if you're putting a gun to my head I was like, okay. I think those are the two most likely. I I would agree and I I Even put pictures three even though. I think it's an inevitability. It's gonna get something. I will be astonished angry Amazed if it's completely ignored snubbed. So I think song is there Directors right behind it and then the editing and I actually know I put picture ahead of the VFX and editing stuff I think because it's so beloved and it's a 10 cat. It's the only 10 category slot that often isn't full and Because a film and a director are so linked. They don't always go together in the nominations That's for sure It could get Three knobs. Mm-hmm. It could get four. Yeah Very well could we're not saying it will either. This is just What we're telling you how the Oscars works and what we think could happen and what word on the street has been in this town for months I know in India It's probably the hype is over for a lot of people but here it's still going on if you look on Twitter If you follow people on Twitter or people in the industry variety still talking about it people in the industry You're still talking about it. It still had screenings. I looked the other day. It was playing at a theater still I think I told you the first day. We began the six-week class that I was doing a month and a half ago Somebody found out, you know, you get to know each other and some of the actors that you're with and found out about our channel and Specifically first thing out of their mouth. So you've seen our are That's what's going on here. Yeah And I would say if you had to pick one to win not just be nominated The one that has the greatest likelihood of winning the Oscar is score. I mean song, right? Okay, so if they're nominated if they're nominated and What do you think has the best chance to win? I would say without a doubt it's song because you can't tell me and if they perform it You cannot tell me there's a better. Yeah. No part part of the reason I'm hesitating is simply because I haven't seen and know what the other contenders are as of yet because as you know We typically get our screeners to see sag award nominees Really Christmas or January? so I really don't have an Idea based on having seen everything until late January early February in terms of What I think late January because by the time the sags come around I've seen pretty much everything that's going on Oscar prediction best original song Right the first thing you see is a picture of our are so it has black panther Wakanda forever as one RR at two So I haven't seen if you've seen Wakanda forever. No, okay So if I could did Okay, since that is that a good song Mariana. Good song. Well, I've heard the song. Okay. Good song. It's a good song It's not not to not granted though. It's Rihanna's return true and people love Rihanna and true They're to have a song forever and then it's top Gun Maverick, which once again, haven't seen Tell it like you haven't heard the song the hold my hands on. No, it's okay Everything ever all at once. This is the life. It's okay. It's it's David Burn. Guillermo d'Otoro. So yeah Turning red white noise spirit where the craw dad sing forget it. It's Taylor Swift Taylor Swift is gonna get nominated Just looking at it. Your top three are gonna be black panther top gun and RR People love top gun raving about it But obviously I don't know the song but you I have not heard anybody raving about the Rihanna outside of her return for the song or Top Gun Maverick. I've heard a billion people if they've watched our are Of course our of course rave about the only the only other one that I think has a has a real fighting Dark horse chance is director. Yeah is director is SS Raj Mooli But yeah, if I'm if I was a betting man I would say the one that has the highest likelihood of winning is not to not to and garnering itself and giving our are Saying now this is an Oscar-winning film. Sorry. This is a this is a site It won't surprise me if the globes give director to Raj Mooli. Oh, yeah, that wouldn't surprise me He has a higher likelihood of getting the globe than he does at the Oscars globes aren't as a prestigious of an award They're also terrible people that run it Sorry, this is Supporting actors. So they they they're a betting site. So they like who do they the predictions? They're a prediction site So I'm trying to find their prediction here on gold Derby Don't know why I just didn't come up with film editing And didn't even have it has our way down there for film editing production design Babylon oh visual effects would be high Babylon's gonna be score. Oh, that's a score That doesn't count for the for the song Our way down there for but it's in there animated feet. Where's song? You must have passed it Best original song predictions 2023 Updated leading contenders Not to not to not to not to not to write in there I haven't seen anything. Oh, I've seen everything ever all at once, but I can't remember what song I love that film probably my favorite of the year so far I love that film, but I don't remember the song and so in either It's it's David Byrne. There's recognition there with David Byrne for sure But anyways, but I would I would I would absolutely if someone said to me 50 bucks not to not to will not be nominated for song I would take that I'd take that bet. I think it's gonna be nominated for for more. Yep than that. Yeah I'm I'm pretty confident. It's gonna get song. Yeah, and I think it's better than be a massive snub And I think the odds are very high that it could win that it could win and I think Keep an eye out if Rajmouli keeps winning It's it's very plausible It's really exciting. We're having this conversation. Yeah, because we've never had this conversation before it was just can it get a an International yeah, that's it, but which is it is really a wonderful thing because what this is doing is causing Everyone to recognize aha We can start to incorporate even more films outside of this site the Hollywood has hub SS Rajmouli at 11 at 11 in terms of its predictions of what it thinks is most likely for director obviously it's a five Categories and you have heavy weights this year of Spielberg's and Tart the Todd yeah Babylon I can't wait to see that because that really is gonna be part of the conversation a lot of hype there Cameron won't get nominated James. Yep. No matter how good avatar is I will be shocked if James Cameron is nominated They have them. Oh, they have them above him, but name recognition there as well. It is so it's so Spielberg It has all this stuff of Because it's a foreign film It's an uphill battle. It was an uphill battle for for Bong Joon Ho and he was a More well-known at that point and obviously very different film. Yeah, it's a very dramatic film and different stuff going on I mean Cameron could because of how Tremendously difficult and Herculean the the attempt at avatar is But I don't that will wait and see the final product. Yeah, what that's like As far like I know one of the names in there is who's the director and writer of tar. Oh, I Just said his name Todd yeah, Todd field. Yeah, you'll get nominated. I think he'll get nominated for screenplay He may not get nominated for director. I have people that love that film, man I haven't it's a it's a good film Blanchette's Blanchette Yeah, and the writing is exceptional. He's the one that I've heard is Blanchette's gonna get nominated well I told you that when I heard yeah coming out of the film It's gay Blanchette. Yeah, literally the only person close to her. It's probably Meryl Streep. That's it not congana He said it on me. Yeah, I did anyways So that's that's the video in the so that I hope this kind of help because I know the Oscars people are kind of confused Because obviously it's an award big award show, but also the way awards are in India I think confuse people. It's a very different world. It's a very different world of You know in India, I know like almost none of them are reputable because often they could be political or be bought correct Stuff like that. Yeah, I've heard stories. Yeah, just just Boggle the mind. Yeah, so it's it's a very different experience Just know it has a very good shot at getting something of a nomination And I think it has a good chance of winning yeah And my favorite thing about the Oscars aside from being the granddaddy of them all and it's about film is the fact that they're set up in such a way that Best pictures voted by everybody like we said and each discipline is voted on by practitioners of that discipline So that you don't have makeup artists voting on acting and you don't have actors voting on makeup Yeah, because the people who work those disciplines understand the nuances and the technicalities and the difficulties and That's my favorite thing about the fact that when someone wins Even if it wasn't who I wanted I always take a little seat back and go well like I remember when the The father was nominated for editing. Hmm the Hopkins film Shocked me. So I asked my friend Kenny who's an editor Was that and he was instant he was like, oh my goodness. Yes, that gets editing because he's he saw those things that I would never catch Yeah, you never yep, you're not in the field. You don't know exactly. Anyway, so let us know what you think What you think it'll be nominated if you think it'd be nominated for anything And realistically, please realistic not just because not just because you wanted her. It's not your favorite line Whatever literally let us know what you think in the comments down below
