![2025 Oscars: Can a Late-Breaker Still Win Best Picture? [POLL]](https://www.awardsdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/gladiator-350x250.jpg)
Ryan, Locke and Under the Skin were eligible last year for these awards.
lee, why was Under the Skin not eligible?
I was able to see Pride at the Toronto Film Festival this year and it was received was rapture. With the excellent reviews I was sure it was going to be a hit. But something went wrong. I told everyone I know to see it when it opened and not many did. Even my gay-lesbian friends. It saddens me that this fantastic movie didn’t catch on. Great story, great acting, it deserved better in the theaters.
Makes me regret not seeing Calvary and Pride when they were out in Montreal a couple of months ago. Happy to see Gugu Mbatha-Raw get some notice. I, too, am hopeful she gets a Golden Globe nod and stays in the conversation for the Oscars (I heard she’s amazing in Beyond the Lights, as well)
Can’t wait to see Calvary. Finally gets released on Netflix next month.
Good to see ‘Pride’ pick up a notable win, it was a very enjoyable film.
Sooooooo happy for Pride!! It’s my favorite film this year and yes…I can see it getting a surprise nom come Golden Globe day.
My boyfriend and I tried to find Pride online today cos I saw it without him cos I was dying to see it but then he never caught up on it while it was in the cinema and I just bloody know he’ll bawl his wee eyes out at it cos it’s so fucking great. Couldn’t find it tho. So glad to see it doing well – it’s been handled terribly in regard to its festival and theatrical release strategies, and this is such a deserved victory for the film. Can’t say I’m thrilled with the voters’ other choices, but who cares!
These are fantastic choices all around. So happy for Pride, ’71, Brendon Gleeson, Gugu, Andrew Scott, Imelda Staunton, all richly deserved.
Awesome to see the love for “Pride”.
Sooo happy for Pride…
Sally, it seems tha yo didnt see anything this year;)
According to Indiewire.com, ”The Theory of Everything” wasn’t eligible.
It doesn’t open in the U.K. until January and didn’t screen at the London Film Festival (like ”The Imitation Game” did).
It looks like ”Pride” just upset the Oscar-contending ”Imitation Game,” which got shut out here.
Odd that ”Imitation” didn’t do better than even among its nominations (4).
It also was passed over for its director (Morten Tyldum), production design and supporting actor (Alex Lawther).
GREAT to see the very promising Gugu Mbatha-Raw win something, she is also someone I could EASILY see surprise at the Golden Globes this week.
Pride may score a semi-surprise Best Picture (Comedy/Musical) Golden Globe nod on Thursday, and if there were any justice, it would have been considered much more seriously for a SAG Ensemble nod, as well.
Wow, Pride is doing good at BIFA. Wonderful.
Under the Skin was ineligible? Also Northern Soul, an excellent Brit film woefully ignored by UK film industry.
Damn, Andrew Scott is hot.
I promise to comment relevant things next time.
Surprised The Theory of Everything is not nominated for anything
