Maybe it's great, i'm just super skeptical.<br /><br />@ Lorna, you'll have to give us your thoughts after seeing it.<br /><br />@anon, if it's not box office, then it'll have to have HUGE critical support that carries through months of awards season, like we saw with The Hurt Locker. I think there was a "contemporary topic" vibe that also helped The Hurt Locker and we don't have that here.RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11340006144797496514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-78286510031377915742010-11-22T08:07:57.512-07:002010-11-22T08:07:57.512-07:00If The Wrestler had been released in a year in whi...If The Wrestler had been released in a year in which ten films were nominated for Best Picture, it would have been nominated for Best Picture.<br /><br />And box-office success is definitely necessary in order for a film to be nominated for Best Picture.
