Need a theater release to be Oscar-eligible, imo.

Wonder how many nominations it will receive?

“Need a theater release to be Oscar-eligible, imo.”

only need a handful of theaters for that, though ... i remember when “The Irishman” was released in only a handful of theaters around the nation for only about a week or so for that purpose ... the major chains refused to release it at all because Netflix funded it and intended to get their money back via direct-to-streaming only on Netflix just a few days after the limited theater release, and the major chains boycotted releasing the film to protest releasing it to streaming so quickly after theater release ...

“Wonder how many nominations it will receive?”:

that’s a good question, though ... the film certainly checks enough leftist check-boxes, none of them being in any way related to quality of entertainment, of course ...
