It sounds like a joke Deadpool would make in the middle of an action sequence, but it’s definitely true. Deadpool and Wolverine Going for some Oscar gold. And the Golden Globes. Whatever it can find is bright and shiny.
According to Variety , Marvel Studios is preparing to launch an awards campaign for its R-rated hits, with a special focus on the comedy category at the Golden Globes. That’s because it turns out dead Pool It received two Golden Globe nominations in these categories, one for Best Picture (Musical or Comedy) and one for Best Actor for Ryan Reynolds. Whether the film can replicate that remains to be seen. However, in an effort to spread the love, the studio decided to push Hugh Jackman into the supporting category, which would avoid any potential split votes with Reynolds.
Now, it is important to note that based on facts alone Deadpool and Wolverine Once it opens in theaters, it and everyone involved with it are automatically eligible for all of these awards: Critics’ Choice Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, Writers Guild Awards, Academy Awards, etc. mrs webb Technically speaking, it is also qualified. A targeted campaign, to get the film in front of voters and make them think about specific characters or aspects, is the way to really get the job done. That’s why every year there are essentially the same 5 to 10 movies nominated for every award, because those are the movies that get the most publicity and then everyone watches them and they gain momentum.
Not that one Deadpool and Wolverine No motivation is really needed. The film has grossed $1.3 billion and counting, making it the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time. That alone is all but guaranteed to be nominated for, and possibly even win, the Golden Globes’ new “Film and Box Office Achievement” category. It’s also a big-budget, big-effects film that’s sure to garner at least some technical success come awards season. But for anyone above that line (actor, writer, director, etc.), getting nominated would be a feat.
And, a lot of big movies do this. Well-known movies may not get nominations and are usually just an awards show for fun. Just to throw the idea out there. See if it sticks. Often, it feels less realistic and more a taste of everyone’s gratitude for the film and a final taste of the spotlight before the film fades into the past.
So, yes, the idea of Marvel and Disney is actually Deadpool and Wolverine It seems a bit silly to get nominated for some awards, it’s the only way to try and make it happen. But will it really happen? As far as the Golden Globes go, this seems like a pretty good choice, since the organization’s policy is to keep “comedy” and “drama” separate. But can Hugh Jackman really get a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination? Stranger things happened.
Deadpool and Wolverine Still in theaters; the game will be available for digital download on October 1st and 4K/Blu-ray on October 22nd.
