On a side note, they both hated “Babylon,” and prefer Austin Butler to Brendan Fraser in the Best Actor race. As far as other Acting contenders go, Blanchett was mentioned by one of them, ditto Chastain in “The Good Nurse”. Every year it’s the same story. Oscar pundits spitball the contenders, trying to shape the race the way they deem most satisfying to their tastes, then the Academy screenings begin in late October and the race changes. I keep saying this, but we should not discount “Thirteen Lives.” I’m even hearing a potential re-release, this time in theaters, might occur very soon. At an academy screening during the first weekend of November, the Thai rescue drama received a roaring reaction from Oscar voters: Howard’s film, supposedly, received the best test scores in MGM history — earning a 97 in the top two boxes and an 86 “definite recommend”. Critics and audiences are positive on or as well with an 86% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 95% audience score. This would have been perfect fodder for TIFF audiences — one can imagine it finishing in the top 3 for the coveted Toronto audience award. Contribute Hire me
