Talk About Awards For Love and Mercy

[Summertime Blooz]

The Golden Globe awards are going to be announced Wednesday morning (12/8/15). I predict nominations for Dano and Elizabeth Banks.

Looks like Love and Mercy was shut out.  Not one nomination.

Was I looking at last year's? 

Because, to be honest, there was nothing in their movie list that appealed to me at all, so I can't even tell what year they came out.

You scared the hell out of me

L&M WAS shut-out of the Screen Actors Guild Awards this morning, on both a collective "Best Ensemble Cast" level, and in terms of its individual performances. This isn't a great sign as the SAGs are generally seen as a predictor of the Oscars for all acting categories. As I said on page 3, Lionsgate does not seem invested in putting the campaign money required to schmooze with the voting bodies.

The Golden Globes should be easy, though that's not saying much since the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's questionable choices in the past five years are the result of a group who are both easily impressed, and some would suggest, easily bought off...

LOVE & MERCY is #2 on the Washington Post list of the best films of 2015.

Sorry.  It just shows how out of touch I've become with movies that I had no ideas the movies of the list I saw weren't current.

Glad she included it at the 2 spot of her list. A lot of "contender" lists I've seen recently don't mention it. Some of those others on the list are probably good...but you can just tell they will be preachy. A lot of biopics are also preachy, though love and mercy was not...another reason it deserves recognition and hopefully some awards.

Golden Globe nominations:

Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture - Paul Dano

Best Song - One Kind of Love

Brian's reaction:

Brian Wilson
Love & Mercy
Best original Song

“My life, my love, my Melinda — God only knows what I’d be without her. She was the inspiration for “One Kind of Love” and just woke me to tell me the song has been nominated for a Golden Globe — my mind is blown! Thank you Hollywood Foreign Press and everyone involved in telling my story. And a huge hug to Paul Dano for his nomination this great morning! I’m now going back to bed for some sweet, sweet dreams. Love & Mercy, Brian Wilson…”

Paul Dano
Love & Mercy
Nominated for Best supporting actor

“I woke up probably to the sound of a car horn, and then I saw a couple of text messages and just then the phone rang with someone saying congrats. After that I put my head back down on the pillow and just let my whole body collapse,” said Love & Mercy actor. “I am so proud to know Brian and be in contact with his spirit. When I talk to people and they ask me if the film is gonna bring Beach Boys to a younger generation, I always think that this music is gonna be around for forever and it ain’t going anywhere, but if the movie helps with that in anyway then I am very happy.” To celebrate, “it is a sunny day here, so maybe I’ll go and see my friend, but I think I am just gonna take some time to enjoy the moment and smile.”

Da contenders:

Love Me Like You Do, Fifty Shades of Grey

One Kind of Love, Love & Mercy

See You Again, Furious Seven

Simple Song No 3, Youth

Writing's On The Wall, Spectre

[Paul J B]

Guess the duel role thing did work against Cusack. His acting was just as good as Dano. In any case at least it got a bit of recognition.

[Shady]

Really happy for Brian, Paul and Scott.

My thoughts are with Cusack.

Dear lord, what a bunch of hideous tunes. Brian should win strictly by default.

[Emily]

Really happy for Brian, Paul and Scott.

My thoughts are with Cusack.

It's a shame really. I think Cusack has a problem with not being taken seriously. He's also said some really negative things about "the industry."

If he said a lot of negative things about the industry then hats off to him.

Dano deserves the praise he's been getting and I hope he wins. That said, I think a lot of pea brains are overlooking Cusack and giving Dano recognition based on appearance...having the closer resemblance to Brian. Cusack was outstanding and may have had the tougher assignment.

Everyone was all over Dustin Hoffman for his acting in Rainman. Hoffman was great, but Tom Cruise had the tougher role and really deserved an award over Hoffman for that film.

Hoffman: Talk slow, stare off into space, ignore everything around you.
Cruise: Be a hot headed selfish ass, alienate everyone around you, and make us believe your hardened heart finally cracked at the end.

I agree entirely with regard to Dano and Cusack, and with regard to comments about the industry. Rainman I thought was awful all around, but that's just me.

[Cyncie]

Well this kinda sucks…

[the professor]

I did not see a justification for this in eligibility. As usual the Academy is full of a bunch of idiots. Just trace the several pictures over the last 15 or 20 years that have won the Best Picture Oscar and you will see the unbelievable stupidity and lack of artistic sensibility in Hollywood. But I am shocked that the song was disqualified because brian is such a local God in Los Angeles. Whatever their justification is concerning when it is played or any of that blah blah blah, I am NOT going to be convinced nor impressed by their reasoning.

[Robbie Mac]

I am betting that it was because it wasn't written specifically for the film.

[Wirestone]

I am betting that it was because it wasn't written specifically for the film.

It was, actually. Both of the BW/Scott tunes on NPP were meant for the movie.

For whatever reason, though, they were put on the album first.

[Shady]

sucks, hopefully it picks up a few other noms though.

Would the fact that they were released first have hurt its chances?

I'm guessing that's the reason, yes. Also, the song wasn't in the credits of the film festival screenings last year.

Oscar rules state that any piece of music is ruled ineligible if it receives commercial release prior to use in the film; hence why Jonny Greenwood's masterful score for "There Will Be Blood" was given the shaft back in '08...
