Connected to

Bradley Cooper: 2 lines verdict ×1 people ×1

  1. people (performance vs. film): Maestro → Bradley Cooper. Cooper's performance is one of the best things about Maestro, but he is not quite the center of a movie that is afraid of that.
    “I love his performance. I think that his performance is one of the best things about it, but, He's not the center of the movie.”

Asteroid City: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (screenplay-category stand-in): Asteroid City → Maestro. Asteroid City, wrongly abandoned, was liked more than Maestro, which is only a cowardly default pick for original screenplay.
    “I guess I'm going to put maestro here, but it's a cowardly pick.”
    The Big Picture · Oscar Nomination Predictions, ‘Mean Girls,’ and ‘All of Us Strangers’ With Andrew Scott · 0:34:50 · Amanda Dobbins (0.50 sure it was them)

Babylon: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (awards-season comparison): Babylon → Maestro. Babylon's flop with Los Angeles voters is compared to May December's, and the self-loathing about Hollywood to Maestro and Mank.
    “It's like, it's scenes, a collection of amazing scenes.”

Guillermo del Toro: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (technique learned from): Maestro → Guillermo del Toro. Cooper learned crane technique from del Toro and used it in the On the Town sequence.

Is This Thing On?: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career): Is This Thing On? → Maestro. Cooper's small character piece was meant as a pullback from Maestro's grandeur toward a James L. Brooks movie.
    “so that I can get away from the grandeur of Maestro as a filmmaker and I can do my James L. Brooks movie, right?”
    The Big Picture · The 10 Most Misused Stars in Hollywood and the Gnarly Magic of ‘Send Help’ · 1:33:30 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
