Do you think this'll get a best picture nom like Anthony Mackie said it should?
If not could you see it getting any other major nominations?
I'd LOVE to see either Robert Downey Jr. Or Tom Holland get a supporting actor nom (even more than that Paul Rudd but that'll never happen, or maybe Chadwick Boseman), but the academy hates superheroes so I'm just dreaming.
No chance. If The Dark Knight doesn't get a best pic nom (much better script than CW) then no comic film will.
shareBut TDK got an acting nom. Do you think this will?
shareAnd who the hell should be nominated for best actor in Civil War?
None of those performances are Oscar-worthy...
Let´s be honest almost no one will ever deliver a performance as good as Heath Ledger...that was movie magic right there...No actor from MCU (talking about performances in MCU movies, so telling me how many Oscar winners are in MCU is pointless) gave a performance worthy of nomination...
RDJr should be a lock as best supporting actor. He was ten times better here than he was in Tropic Thunder and he was nominated for that role.
"A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man."
I'd love it if he was nominated, but the Academy doesn't really like Superhero movies, and what they represent

What if Coulson met The Avengers again?
The Oscars haven't really mattered in a long time. Should it be considered as one of the best overall movies of 2016? Of course. Yet, Oscar hasn't had the proper nominations for years so why think they will get it right now?
Start the official Oscar buzz now. With Civil War leaving the regular theaters soon, the time is now.

I love the movie but I don't think there will be a best picture nomination.
Acting I don't know. If any, then RDJ, but I doubt that. Maybe best adapted screenplay, but I'm highly doubtful of that, too. Depends on what else was put out there this year that qualifies for this category.
They might get nominations maybe for art direction, sound, special effects or something like that. I have too little knowledge about all of that, though, to really assess it, and I haven't seen enough other movies this year to make a lot of comparisons anyway.
It has exactly zero chance for Best Picture, and honestly, even if it did ,I don't think it deserves it.
There is one well-deserved Oscar there, but they haven't invented the category for it yet - "Building a credible character over several movies"? Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue...
Still, RDJ deserves it, because his portrayal of Tony Stark and especially the beautiful, nuanced character development, ruthlessly consistent from the first movie to the last, is a thing of beauty. Many actors are not able to do it so well in a single movie, much less several, shot years apart.
I'm too old for this sh*t...
It has a better chance at best picture than you think. It's still better than 95% of every film released so far. That's half a year in the books.

Objective quality has nothing to do with Oscar chances. Civil War is a genre movie; and a comic book adaptation. That disqualifies it before nominations even started. By Academy standards, a movie about flying robots is not highbrow enough to be considered for "serious" cinematic awards.
Now, an ouevre of unspeakable psychological depth and stellar script, takckling important problems that touch the lives of many - like "Pretty Woman" - that's another story....

If Marvel ever got nominated, do you think they'd spend a bunch of money campaigning?
