Madam Margolyes 7,783 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Malek is one of the strongest competitors in Best Actor, other than that idk. Besides, BR has Bryan Singer credited as director, which could backfire its chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaaaasGaga 6,119 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Well Bohemian Rhapsody has already been criticised by many due to the fact it is completely ignoring the fact that he was gay or bisexual and that he was living with AIDS during the AIDS epidemic which is quite a big thing to skip over with Freddie Mercury so I'm sure that will actually damage it's reputation amongst academy voting members who normally value wider perspective and references.

They are literally one of the biggest rock bands of ALL time, the movie is going to be a success. ASIB is only really known amongst the fanbase but the first trailer did help the movie be known amongst more GP but it seems Warner Bros are going for promo closer to release. I expect we will get heavy promo from mid september. I think that those who were not a fan of QUEEN will not watch the movie because it is biographical so i don't expect a bigger success than ASIB Hi (sorry for my bad english) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that true? The second trailer makes very explicit reference to Freddie's sexuality - and I interpreted a few scenes to be linked to aids, too. I think it was the original, Sacha Baron Cohen version of this film that was going to skip over a lot, which is ultimately why they had to re-start production. subtext / fantasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah it might have been the Sacha Baron Cohen version I was thinking about. I remember one of them was being created by current members of Queen who wanted to skip over those huge parts of his life or something? Either way, if this one does include those aspects of his life that is so much better! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley 55,042 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I mean there is more than one Oscar competitor than Bohemian Rhapsody so I don't know why this one stands apart from the rest? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeloArtDramaPop 789 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I mean imo i think BR will win in the box office department and ASIB will win in the critics and oscars department. Ive been hearing a lot of bad press from BR. But honestly cant they just enjoy movies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikola 4,342 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 As far as the box office goes BR will win for sure... Since the queen is really big...for awards I think that we don't need to be scared since there will be no new music so no original song nomination and I think there is no female lead so gaga is safe in that department ... But overall I think that BR will be bigger... Because it's about the queen I've got an "F" and a "C" and I got a "K" too And the only thing that is missing is a bitch like "U" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regina George 59,387 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I’m HUGE Gaga fan but BR looks amazing and honestly that trailer is far better than ASIB trailer + amazing story of Queen and especially Freddie. It will be huge competition for ASIB but I wouldn’t mind BR winning cuz Queen is inspiration for many and even Gaga herself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GABEL 1,852 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 they are not competing in the same categories of Oscars , besides Bohemian Rhapsody surly will win in box office if people compares ASIB to BR it will benefit ASIB in the long run I think, as long as the soundtrack and the movie are good(or decent at least)we have nothing to worry about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
