Yesterday DC officially launched their Oscar campaign for Wonder Woman. They have launched a for your consideration campaign for all of the main categories including: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor. And all main and technical categories of course.
Wonder Woman was the phenomena of the summer. Beloved by both audiences and critics (92% on rotten tomatoes, 7.6 on IMDB). Once being a culture phenomenon was enough to get a movie an Oscar nomination. These days, not so much. What Wonder Woman has going for it is weak competition. Oscar season has begone, but no prominent frontrunners have emerged, so the movie may have a chance for some main nominations.
As for wins? Probably not. Not for Best Picture for sure. The movie’s best chances are wins for Best Director (Patty Jenkins) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Allan Heinberg). There is arguably a chance for Best Supporting Actor as this year’s men’s categories seemed to be weak so far. Her biggest chance for a win is in the technical categories, but that won’t be much of an accomplishment.
