Poll of the Day > Sony's new GAY Film is an OSCAR Contender that has a SEX Scene with a PEACH!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sony's upcoming film "Call Me By Your Name" starring 31 y/o Armie Hammer and 21 y/o newcomver Timothee Chamelet is getting major buzz after it screen to critics which has an astonishing 98% metacritic rating which could be Sony's first Oscar winning film!!

But there is also a controversial scene that has raised some eyebrows but hasn't lowered the quality of the film.

It's set in 1983 about 2 gay men in Italy on a 24 y/o man named Oliver and italian teen named Elio who is 17 and is based off of a novel..

But there is one scene in particular where one of them is having SEX with a PEACH..and the other eats the peach!!..this scene was in the novel as well

The Hollywood Reporter said "The handful of sex scenes are tastefully shot but short and not particularly explicit, though Aciman's famous peach scene is featured here in modest but ambiguous fashion"

Sony Pictures Classics will release the film on November 24th, just in time for Oscars voting..

It has a 98% tomatometer rating with 98% metacritic rating..

Would you watch this movie?

Probably not. Gay love stories are not for me.

I already have seen it and it is an incredible movie, can't wait to see it again.

Timothee Chamelet deserves to win best actor for sure and Michael Stuhlbarg who plays his father deserves supporting actor. Armie Hammer is good too but not as good as Stuhlbarg.

Here is the trailer, which is a pretty good trailer for it I think:

It is a very beautiful and honest movie. Much better than Moonlight if we are comparing high profile LGBT films of the past few years (though Moonlight isn't bad don't get me wrong)

I don't assign much value to metacritic ratings and, generally speaking, neither does the Academy. There's an almost zero chance of it getting an Oscar not because of its quality, but because it's premiering too soon in the year.

I think it actually looks really good. To discount a romance movie simply because it is gay is silly. Brokeback Mountain and Blue is the Warmest Color were both excellent.

Not as silly as watching films I've no interest in just because. For the record I generally don't like love story films and 'chick flicks' so avoid them.

I think you are overacting. I find heterosexual sex repulsive, but i have no problem watching straight movies. I can appreciate a good romance story.

I always roll my eyes when people act all "gay is icky!!"
I have fucking lived my entire life in an ocean of media focused on sex that I find repulsive (it is in virtually every movie/song to some degree), but I can move beyond that. People need to realize that sex isnt that big of a deal, and media isnt automatically bad just because you arent sexually attracted to it.

Blue is the Warmest Color literally won the grad prize at the Cannes Film Festival (one of the most prestigious awards in film). You clearly have unrefined taste in movies. Go watch a low-budget comedy--it will appeal to your short attention span.

Oh, misread it then. November is generally a strong month, though, even if the most nominations come from films premiering in December or even later (because critics see them at film festivals prior to the actual release)

Granted, I'm still sure that this over-hyped Sony film won't amount to much because, well, Sony.

Last year of the 9 best picture nominees, 1 came out in August, 1 in October, 4 in November and 3 in December

the year before: 1 May, 3 October, 2 November, 2 December

75% of them come out in the last 3 months of the year sure, but less than 30% come out in December or have a limited release in December and wide in January. Most are October or November

Last year Sony got a total of 6 oscar nominations, 2014 they only got 2, but in 2013 they had 21 nominations and in 2012 they had 19 nominations.

Literally Zeus why do you say this stuff like its fact when you don't know what you are talking about lol

As far as I see it. Call Me By Your Name is almost a guaranteed win for adapted screenplay this year, but it is an incredibly weak category this year with very few films able to qualify as an adapted screenplay that would get in (there is Last Flag Flying, Mudbound, Wonderstruck, Death of Stalin, Darkest Hour, The Disaster Artist, Hostiles and Molly's Game as its competitors... really weak slate compared to how packed original screenplay is)

It's also very sure to get nominations for picture, supporting actor (Stuhlberg), and director, and probably getting nominations for actor (Chalamet) and song for one or two of the Sufjan Stevens original songs. That's all I see it getting nominated for, editing, cinematography, and another supporting actor for Hammer is possible but I doubt it.

It's definitely SPC's main horse this year. Other things they have are Novitiate (which they will only push Melissa Leo for supporting actress) Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool (which they will only push Annette Bening for actress and Jamie Bell for supporting actor) and A Fantastic Woman (which they will push for foreign and actress). Though really of all of those the only other one that will probably happen is Leo.

Sony/Columbia/Tristar has Roman J. Israel, Esq which will probably get Denzel Washington an actor nomination and maybe a few other, though still unsure as it hasn't premiered yet, and Baby Driver which could get sound editing and sound mixing.

In terms of winning best picture, it's possible but I doubt it, though I'm not really sure what else could at this point. If the Spielberg picture (The Post) gets really great reviews I could see it winning (and even if it only gets average reviews I bet it will get nominated). Dunkirk... could I suppose... but it would have to win without a screenplay nomination which it isn't going to get, and that hasn't happened since Titanic. The Shape of Water is getting incredible reviews out of Venice and Telluride, so Guillermo Del Toro's film could but it would be a very odd pick for the Academy. It will get nominated I am sure but I can't see it winning. Get Out.... can't see that winning, nor can I see The Florida Project or Last Flag Flying. Darkest Hour is solid oscar bait but it's reviews aren't good enough and a true oscar bait film hasn't really won since King's Speech. So yeah I don't know what will win, but for nominations I am predicting Dunkirk, Shape of Water, Call Me By Your Name, The Post, Get Out, Last Flag Flying, Darkest Hour, and 2 or 3 of the following: The Florida Project, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Downsizing, Blade Runner: 2049, Roman J. Israel, Esq, Wonder Sheel, The Big Sick, Lady Bird, and The Phantom Thread.

A map of the monthly calendar of Academy Award winners and nominees has surprising results: December is the most popular month for nominated releases, but winners tend to come from October and November.

Apparently just looking at one year for results is a fucking stupid way to judge a trend. Who knew?

@ Zeus

And why do you abuse the mention system? @madadude More importantly, why do you conflate "nominee" with "contender"? Are you being purposely deceptive? Or do you ignorantly believe that every nominee is an actual contender? Did you think that The Kids Are Alright had EXACTLY the same chances of winning Best Picture as the The King's Speech just because both were nominated back in 2011? If so, I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you.

I checked the past 17 years but okay.

And you just said oscar contender, you didn't say best picture winning contender, there are plenty of oscars, not just picture, but even going off of your distinction between being a best picture nominee and contender, The Social Network was a contender to win and that was a Sony film, as was Zero Dark Thirty and American Hustle to a lesser extent. So the notion that Sony not putting out best picture winning contenders is still a laughable concept. When compared to the other major distribution companies over the past 10 years they have been far more successful than Universal at least when it comes to this.


And I just did the mention system because, at least for me personally, I would very likely miss a response to a post of mine, but I guess if you were planning to look back for a response anyway it is unnecessary.

American Hustle, maybe. The others... clearly not. Social Network was up against The King's Speech AND Inception, along with Black Swan and a number of others. Given the competition, I never suspected it had a chance. Zero Dark Thirty never stood a chance either. After all, it was up against Argo that year and had some stiff competition on top of that.

American Hustle came up in a year where the competition was a bit more lax. Granted, even if 12 Years a Slave wasn't on the table, it'd still likely have lost to Dallas Buyers Club. However, neither 12 Years or Dallas was anywhere near as dominant as King's Speech.

I have the topic tracked. And I don't give any priority to mentions for the most part.

A mention is generally more useful if I haven't posted in a topic at all but, 9 times out of 10, most topics which I haven't posted in it's more likely a matter of me not caring.

The Social Network was still winning quite a few precursor awards prior to the oscars that are correlated to winning best picture, not as much as King's Speech which was the frontrunner but definitely more than Inception and Black Swan, which I would have to go back and look but I am pretty sure won none of the awards or had none of the general patterns that lead to a best picture win. Plenty of pundits had Social Network predicted up to Oscar night.

American Hustle definitely wouldn't have lost to Dallas Buyers Club, are you kidding? Gravity and 12 Years a Slave were definitely top two, with American Hustle third in terms of likelihood. Not close to Gravity and 12 Years of course, which come oscar night seemed like it could easily go either way, but regardless.

Zero Dark Thirty, I'll concede wasn't as strong as the other too mentioned. Argo was a pretty clear victory despite its snub in best director. Life of Pi probably ran second that year, Lincoln third and either ZDT or SLP fourth.

Inception won 4 Oscars. Social Network won 3. Black Swan won 1, but it was for Best Actress which is a more significant category.

Dallas Buyers Club won 3 Oscars, but those included best actor and best supporting actor which are generally more significant awards.

12 Years won 3 Oscars, best picture, best supporting actress, and best screenplay. While Gravity won 7 Oscars, the only actually significant one was Best Director. The rest were just stuff like sound and visual effects, which doesn't exactly make a film a strong contender for best picture.

As American Hustle -- your "third best" film of the year -- how many Oscars did it win? Zero. While it could have beaten Gravity for best picture, it certainly would have lost to Dallas.

So? We are talking about the race for best picture, as you clearly were making clear. Plus Social Network won editing and screenplay which are far more significant categories than actress in terms of winning best picture, and Inception won purely technical awards, and wasn't even nominated for director, so it had nothing significant going for it.

Again, so?

The number of Oscars won isn't what we are talking about here, we are talking about being a runner up for Best Picture. The precursor awards, which are the most common predictors of the Oscar race, as well as looking at what pundits were predicting at the time, clearly show American Hustle was third and had a slim chance, while Dallas Buyers Club had none. Dallas Buyers Club was the favorite to win actor, supporting actor, and makeup as those were the film's strengths. Acting awards are not a good predictor of best picture winners, plenty of acting winners haven't had their film nominated in best picture over the years. A good amount have also been the sole nominee of their film, yet won the award.

Both before the awards and after the awards, the vast consensus was that American Hustle was the second runner up, while Dallas Buyers Club wasn't on the radar to win.

American Hustle had a director nomination, which Dallas didn't have. In terms of the actual other awards predicting the Oscar winner, the best predictors are the nominees of director, screenplay and editing.

12 Years a Slave and American Hustle were the only ones to have all 3. Dallas and Captain Phillips didn't have directing nominations, Nebraska and Wolf of Wall Street didn't have editing nominations. Gravity didn't have a screenplay nomination.

AH would have certainly beat Dallas.

It was the favorite to win up until the Producer's Guild Award went to Argo.
