Claims (32)

  1. contrast (release-strategy contrast): Trolls World Tour → The King of Staten Island. Trolls World Tour had baked-in IP and marketing; Staten Island is a standalone comedy going to VOD with little awareness.
    “This is a significantly different choice than something like Trolls World Tour, where there's a lot of baked in understanding of the IP.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:03:51 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  2. verdict (best-of-year pick): Never Rarely Sometimes Always → Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Never Rarely Sometimes Always is the VOD best-picture pick, set against the hosts' mock 2021 winner Portrait of a Lady on Fire.
    “I'm going to go with never really, sometimes always.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:10:20 · Amanda Dobbins (0.50 sure it was them)
  3. theme (market comparison): Long Shot → The King of Staten Island. Long Shot, an adult non-franchise comedy, made little in theaters because people wanted it on demand, suggesting Staten Island may suit VOD.
    “I was thinking about long shot, which is not a Judd Apatau movie, but is in a similar vein, similar, like a comedy for adults, that it's not a franchise.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:11:00 · Amanda Dobbins (0.50 sure it was them)
  4. unmapped (preference): The King of Staten Island → Scoob!. A speaker would rather discuss Apatow's film than Scoob.
    “I'd much rather talk about Apatau and that movie than Scoob.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:12:13 · Sean Fennessey (0.45 sure it was them)
  5. unmapped (theater reopener): Tenet → Christopher Nolan. Tenet is meant to reopen theaters on July 17 and Nolan was unhappy with the WarnerMedia comments.
    “his new movie, Tennant, is supposed to be the movie that reopens theaters on July 17th around the country.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:13:44 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  6. unmapped (VOD precedent): The Hunt → Trolls World Tour. The Hunt, Emma and The Invisible Man were the first theatrical-to-VOD moves and set the 19.99 price.
    “the person who decided that 1999 was the right rental price for, I think, was it was it the Hunt, an Invisible Man, and Emma.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:19:23 · Amanda Dobbins (0.60 sure it was them)
  7. unmapped (kids repeat-viewing): Frozen 2 → Trolls World Tour. Kids' movies bought on iTunes for endless rewatching, now moving straight to streaming services.
    “has been buying movies on iTunes for his kids like Frozen 2 to watch over and over again.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:22:26 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  8. contrast (tentpole contrast): Fast and Furious (franchise, incl. Fast 9) → Trolls World Tour. Fast movies will stay in theaters because margins are too high; Trolls World Tour is not a Fast and Furious.
    “Trolls World Tour is not James Bond. And Trolls World Tour is not Fast and the Furious.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:23:09 · Amanda Dobbins (0.50 sure it was them)
  9. contrast (pricing contrast): No Time to Die (the Bond movie) → Trolls World Tour. A Bond VOD release would likely test a price point above the 19.99 Trolls set.
    “So I do think if you see no time to die, released directly to VOD. It will be for more than 1999.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:23:45 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  10. unmapped (captive audience): Spencer Confidential → Netflix. 85 million at least started it, showing a captive audience for Netflix releases.
    “85000000 people at least started Spencer confidential. I'll never get over that.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:25:40 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  11. industry (awards snub / rule change): Portrait of a Lady on Fire → Les Misérables. France submitted Les Miserables over Portrait, spawning the new international-feature rule.
    “we will call the portrait of a lady on fire rule, which clearly indicated that there was some discontent with Les Miserables taking the space for France in that category”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:30:16 · Bobby Wagner (0.60 sure it was them)
  12. industry (festival plan): The French Dispatch → Wes Anderson. It was planned as Wes Anderson's Cannes coming-out party and a six-month campaign.
    “that was going to be Wes Anderson's been coming out party for that film and it was going to come out in July”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:32:35 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  13. industry (studio ownership): The French Dispatch → Disney. Because Disney owns the Fox Searchlight film, it is not expected to go to VOD.
    “the French dispatch is owned by Disney. It's a Fox Searchlight film.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:33:08 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  14. industry (studio silence): The Green Knight → A24. A24 has not moved the May 29 date or commented, while the rest of its slate is pushed.
    “A24 has not said a word about anything.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:33:34 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  15. people (director / Oscar bait): Hillbilly Elegy → Ron Howard. Ron Howard's adaptation feels like pure Oscar material even if it makes a speaker's brain bleed.
    “there's also a Ron Howard Hillbilly LG adaptation, which, you know, kind of like makes my brain bleed, but also feels like such Oscar stuff.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:38:43 · Amanda Dobbins (0.50 sure it was them)
  16. industry (Netflix Oscar-bait comparison): Mank → The Two Popes. Netflix surely has another celebrated prestige film like The Two Popes coming.
    “I'm sure there's a 2 popes-esque thing coming down the pike that we're not even aware of”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:38:55 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  17. unmapped (streamer day-and-date example): Let Them All Talk → Mank. HBO Max could debut the Soderbergh movie directly instead of qualifying via theaters, hence streaming's Oscar ramifications.
    “what happens when HBO Max debuts the new Stephen Soderberg movie rather than putting it in theaters to qualify”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:49:06 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  18. unmapped (practical stunts): John Wick (franchise) → Tom Cruise. The only people still doing real stunts are in John Wick movies or Tom Cruise.
    “The only guy who's doing stunts at this point is either in a John Wick movie or Tom Cruise.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:51:39 · Sean Fennessey (0.45 sure it was them)
  19. lineage (stunt lineage): John Wick (franchise) → stunt coordinators turned filmmakers. 70s-90s stunt masters became filmmakers; the John Wick team revived that.
    “there's been this revival of this with the guys who make the John Wick movies”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:52:50 · Amanda Dobbins (0.50 sure it was them)
  20. unmapped (set tragedy): Twilight Zone: The Movie → John Landis. A helicopter stunt killed Vic Morrow and two children; Landis was prosecuted and acquitted.
    “A helicopter crashed during a stunt and Vic Morrow, Jennifer Jason Lee's father, was killed along with 2 children during the making of this movie”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:53:35 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  21. contrast (awards contrast): Parasite → Green Book. The Academy zagged with Parasite; Green Book was a different type of win.
    “Parasite won best picture. Can you believe it? And then, you know, I think Green Book was like a different type of win”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:56:28 · Amanda Dobbins (0.60 sure it was them)
  22. industry (awards backlash cycle): Parasite → Mank. A bold Academy choice like Parasite triggers a counter-reaction toward traditional movies about movies, with Mank a test.
    “I do kind of think it'll be movies about movies and the power of storytelling and all and all of that nonsense.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:56:38 · Amanda Dobbins (0.60 sure it was them)
  23. industry (awards upset): No Country for Old Men → There Will Be Blood. No Country beat There Will Be Blood for best picture, then ratings were low and the Academy changed the rules.
    “And it beat, there will be blood, which is painful for me, but still, no country for all men, incredible film.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:57:14 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  24. people (same director / awards cautionary): Mank → The Social Network. Fincher's perverse films are hits but the Academy snubs them, as when The Social Network lost to The King's Speech.
    “notably the social network, being defeated by the king speech, which is a result that should be should die in a fire.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:57:34 · Sean Fennessey (0.55 sure it was them)
  25. industry (awards upset): The Social Network → The King's Speech. King's Speech beat Social Network at the Oscars, which the speaker finds unforgivable.
    “notably the social network, being defeated by the king speech, which is a result that should be should die in a fire.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:57:34 · Sean Fennessey (0.55 sure it was them)
  26. lineage (subject / source): Mank → Citizen Kane. Mank is partly inspired by Pauline Kael's essay on who truly authored Citizen Kane.
    “it's in part inspired by that very famous Pauline Kale, story raising Kane, about the true authorship of Citizen Kane”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:58:09 · Sean Fennessey (0.55 sure it was them)
  27. contrast (tonal contrast): David Fincher → The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Even his ostensibly sentimental film is strange, so Mank is unlikely to be warm.
    “David Fincher has just never made a warm movie. Even Benjamin Button, which is ostensibly very sentimental, is like just a very strange film.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:58:36 · Sean Fennessey (0.55 sure it was them)
  28. unmapped (family / writing credit): Mank → Jack Fincher. The Mank script was written by Fincher's father, a marketable sentimental angle.
    “which was written by David Da Fincher's father before he passed away.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:58:36 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  29. industry (release-strategy comparison): The Irishman → Marriage Story. Irishman, Marriage Story and Roma were positioned as theatrical releases, which got voters to buy in.
    “The Irishman and Marriage Story and Roma as well were positioned as theatrical releases.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 1:00:49 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  30. industry (streaming effect): The Ballad of Buster Scruggs → Coen Brothers. Streaming access to segments may have helped it get nominations, or voters just love the Coens.
    “I thought that movie actually got a few stray nominations because people were like, oh, I could just watch any segment of this I want”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 1:01:11 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  31. theme (shared MCU characters): The Incredible Hulk → Iron Man. The two characters appearing in the first two MCU films were Hulk and Iron Man.
    “It's the Incredible Hulk and Iron Man, you fools.”
    The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 1:05:03 · Sean Fennessey (0.60 sure it was them)
  32. industry (release timing): Portrait of a Lady on Fire → Neon. Neon gave it a tiny LA release in December, so it counted for last year.
    “Neon released it in LA and December of last year.”
