Critics Groups Disagree on Best Picture & Justin Hurwitz In-Studio - For Your Consideration

On this week’s For Your Consideration, Collider’s awards experts Scott Mantz and Jeff Sneider discuss where the Oscar race stands following announcements from the National Board of Review, the Gotham Awards and the New York Film Critics Circle. What’s most interesting about these precursors is that three different films won Best Picture. The New York critics celebrated Alfonso Cuaron’s Roma, while NBR went for Peter Farrell’s crowdpleaser Green Book and the Gothams embraced the little-seen indie The Rider from rising filmmaker Chloe Zhao. If there’s any consensus, it’s that Paul Schrader’s screenplay for First Reformed is one to be reckoned with. Speaking of which, Ethan Hawke is building momentum for his performance as a conflicted priest, while Support the Girls star Regina Hall is now firmly in the awards conversation. It’s too bad there’s no Oscar for up-and-coming talent, as the Eighth Grade duo of Bo Burnham and Elsie Fisher have been running away with most of the “breakthrough” honors. We also talk about how Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse could give Pixar a run for its money this year, and how Cold War could benefit from Roma possibly winning Best Picture. Scott then sits down with Oscar winner Justin Hurwitz, composer of Damien Chazelle's First Man, starring Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy. #ColliderFYC is hosted by Scott Mantz, Perri Nemiroff and Jeff Sneider.
