JOKER: THE MOVIE produced by Martin Scorsese (TBD)

Yeah... Endgame and Joker are 2 completely different things. How can you even compare them?

1 is the finale of a 22-film saga and the other is a standalone villain origin story. The only way they could be more different is if one of them were not inspired by comic books.

I would be shocked if this movie won any awards beyond costume or set design. This is a movie the infotainment industry didn’t want. It will be nominated for stuff to entice the little people to watch but it’s not gonna take anything major home, at least not anything voted on American media.

It doesn’t measure up for a Best Picture win to me but Best Actor is not only deserved but attainable.

I disagree.

Hard for me to see Phoenix *not* getting a Best Actor nomination for this.

Honestly, what other bravura performances have there been this year? Who's his competition?

Maybe:

  • DiCaprio or Pitt for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
  • Taron Edgerton for Rocketman
  • Pacino or DeNiro for The Irishman
  • Bale or Damon for Ford v. Ferrari
  • Taika Waititi for Jojo Rabbit (which was even *more* controversial)

Maybe I'm missing something, but this seemed a particularly weak acting year -- and frankly, weak year for movies in general.
