After its box office opening. No nominations.
It's that man again!!
Agreed!! There will not be any Oscar nominations. The movie is only high 50's on Rotten Tomatoes and absolutely bombed at the Box Office with something like $2 million over 5 days. Moreover, the movie has been fading heavily. The initial reviews were much higher, while the later reviews were much lower. That actually makes sense, since Beatty schmoozed up the initial critics with tales of Hollywood in the 50's and 60's which led to higher reviews (which is basically the same strategy that he and Towne did with Pauline Kael and other critics back in the 70's). But now there are way too many critics to schmooze up. Thus, the later reviews have been terrible. Fox will start pulling Theaters ASAP and this movie will be gone and forgotten by next week.
shareI thought the song was lovely and haunting. I could see it getting a nomination.

... "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"
I doubt this gets any there isn't anything remarkable about it. Overall it's a pretty bad movie.
