Oscars?
Let's face it.
Iron Man has received extremely high praise from critics and fans alike. Should we consider the possibility of getting a few Oscar nods? -TNC

Re: Oscars?
I believe so.
Best Visual Effects? Best Costume designs? Art Direction? Sound? Maybe Best Actor Robert Downey, Jr.? I mean, Johnny Depp got a nomination for Captain Jack Sparrow.  Those could be some of the posibbilities. |

Re: Oscars?
lol. I immediately reminded myself of Depp's Oscar nomination while I was making this thread.
It's also from that why so many people are gearing up for a possible Oscar nod for Heath Ledger. -TNC

Re: Oscars?
Yeah. From what I've seen from trailers to tv spots, I think Heath most likely we get one. I hope he gets one. Because everything that I've seen for Joker has been remarkable. But we'll just have to see in 7 to 8 months from now.
As for Robert, I could see it as well. But the major movie season is really just beginning.  I was thinking of making this thread. I came on and was about to make it, and saw that someone already had. It seems that our minds on the topic were in the same place, I suppose.

Re: Oscars?
I'd say just visual effects and sound nominations. Which it'll probably win.

Re: Oscars?
Visual, sound costume probably win those
Robert may get nominated but like Johnny Depp and Alec Guiness, he won't win it. Of course there's a chance he could like Russell Crowe did for Gladiator. |

Re: Oscars?
I'm hoping for a nom for Downey Jr.; even if he doesn't win, it'd still be a good acknowledgement from the Academy (like they did for Depp in Pirates).

Re: Oscars?
I'm going to really enjoy the Oscars again this year if what we've said are true.
 I mean, this year for last year's movies was good. But I think 2007 for 2006's movies was much better, I think. From what I remember. So far, for comic based movies, I hope Robert and Heath get nominated. Even if they don't win, it would be nice.

Re: Oscars?
Iron Man was a fun movie but its not oscar material in terms of best actor/actress, supporting actor/actress...this is just my opinion though. I can see a SFX oscar nomination and sound editing but thats just about it.

Re: Oscars?
I doubt it, maybe for Sound, SFX & possibly Adapted Screenplay. Hey Borat got nominated for that.

Re: Oscars?
I am betting on just a Visual Effects nomination, although the Oscar win will probably be claimed by another movie.

Re: Oscars?
I Think Iron Man can win Visual Effects but after just seeing Narnia, Iron Man has competition.

Re: Oscars?
Nah Iron Man & Iron Monger looked so real. You can tell the lion (I forgot his name) & beats are fake.

Iron Man should be a lock for Visual Effects.

Re: Oscars?
It's going to be pretty close on FX... Benjamin Button, I haven't seen it, but is getting a lot of love and they say the fx are groundbreaking... TDK did a great job with Harvey...

Re: Oscars?
IMO, Benjamin Button shouldn't got a nod for visual effect, I didn't see anything in that was groundbreaking. And I feel Iron Man's visual effect surpass The Dark Knight's.

Re: Oscars?
Not a huge fan of the film, started really well but became a bit silly towards the end.
That said RDJ was very good as Tony Stark - i thin his performance here helped him get a nod for TT. In a Ledger-less year, he'd be a reasonable bet for a lead nomination i think - quite simply i can't think of many other actors who could make the character of Tony Stark seem so spontateous, and he doens't condescend to thew role - he actually seems proud to be in the film, and be iron man. |

Re: Oscars?
Sorry guys, looks like Iron Man will have no wins: it was snubbed completely at both the Visual Effects and Sound Guilds Awards. Button and The Dark Knight had a virtual even split with the Visual Effects awards (Button slightly edging out TDK (and WALL-E getting some awards, as well as Changeling) and TDK earned more wins with the Sound Guild - with Slumdog and WALL-E picking up wins as well.

Re: Oscars?
It was dissapointing to see Iron Man win no awards. TCCOBB did deserve it, defenitely, but I still wish Iron Man would have won atleast 1 award.

Re: Oscars?
I'm pleased enough that IM lost to TCCOBB, rather than TDK in the SFX department. At least I could understand why that happened, since TCCOBB had such good effects. But the IM suit alone should've got IM a nomination for costume design, IMO. That was the true snub.
