MAD MAX FURY ROAD OSCAR WINS MOVIE
It’s a request which should be honored if possible, because unless your home has an actual movie theater in it, the big-screen version with its bombastic sound quality was an experience I won’t soon forget.Īs “Dune” moves on to the Venice Film Festival, it looks clear that the impressive achievement will add plenty of spice to the awards race, with at least three tech statuettes likely in the film’s future. Mad Max: Fury Road is now available to buy on Blu-ray and DVD, Amazon Instant Video and other streaming services. Villeneuve has pleaded with the public in press conferences to see the film on the big screen. With probable contenders already emerging like “CODA,” “Mothering Sunday,” “The Lost Daughter” and “The Power of the Dog,” and still more to come, “Dune,” written by Villeneuve, Jon Spaihts and Oscar-winner Eric Roth and based on the Frank Herbert novel, would have heavy competition in the adapted screenplay arena.īox office results will also be an interesting barometer, especially this year with the pandemic still surging and Warner Bros simultaneously releasing the epic on HBO Max. The odds are likely steep for “Dune” in the screenplay category, since films like “Avatar,” “Gravity” and “Mad Max: Fury Road” weren’t recognized for their writing. Previously, “Parasite,” “Slumdog Millionaire” and “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” were able to achieve Oscar love without acting noms, though they are the outliers, not the rules. Zendaya is barely in the movie, which could be a surprise in the 135-minute film. Mad Max: Fury Road won its six Oscars in the technical categories, for Film Editing, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Costume Design, Production Design and Make Up and Hairstyling.
As much as the world and social media adore Oscar-nominee Timothée Chalamet (“Call Me by Your Name”) and Zendaya, neither have roles substantial enough to appeal to voters. The acting categories don’t present immediately obvious nominations, though Jason Momoa’s work stands out.
