Looks like they think they have an Oscar contender on their hands.
I find Oscar Bait infinitely more interesting than ticket bait
This will win best actress and best screenplay. Fantastic movie.

^You've seen it? Do tell us about it!
I am so happy we're getting it this year!
Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation (Eat, Pray, Love)
I can't give specific plot details as I've signed a NDA, and studio legal dept threatened me before to remove posts for other previews I've seen (though I don't know how they can find me as I use a different email account here than the one they send me invitations for), but I do have high praise for the movie so I'm sure studio doesn't mind good word of mouth. If you have questions I'll try to answer in general terms without giving away spoilers.

Can you talk about Chastain's performance? Do you think she has a chance for Oscar?
I think she is a shoo-in for a nom, a more than good chance she will win the Oscar, I obviously don't know who will be nominated this year, but I liken her performance with Faye Dunaway in Network.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm rooting for her too. Best actress race this year is pretty crowded but I hope timely gun control topic would help her.
It's really not about gun control. It could have been any political issue. It's about how Lobbyists control the issues, not the politicians or the public.

So it would seem.
What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.
It will be the year of the cinnamon girls: Jessie vs Amy Adams vs Emma Stone.
Amy Adams has two critically acclaimed films, she's in the lead.

This is Amy's year baby! She deserves it.
The villainy you teach me I will execute-and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.
Strawberry Shortcake. The Amy & Jessie Show.
Amy set the tone for the first five episodes of The Office, she was everything Pam (Jenna Fischer) was not. Without her Pam and Jim's ongoing relationship would not have worked. Of course Steve Carrell's Six Million Dollar Man routine was difficult to follow but Amy pulled it off. Amy looks so angelic, I bet she's anything but behind closed doors.
Of course Jessie takes a backseat to no one. The opening five minutes of The Tree of Life is perhaps the most difficult scene she's ever had too pull off and she nailed it. Terrence Malik's announcement of the arrival of a major talent.

My money is on Chastain. Amy has a much more subtle role in Arrival (haven't seen Nocturnal Animals), she's great, but Jessica is simply stunning in this movie, a tour de force. Arrival and Miss Sloan are the 2 best films I've seen this year.

Politics is everything with The Academy.
Amy has paid her dues and deserves to be feted. Not to take anything away from Jessie, I haven't seen either film yet. But I'm a fan of Quebec Director Denis Villeneuve, I'll be watching Arrival at the theater. And the praise for La La Land smacks of mendacity to me. Whiplash was the best film of 2014, I seriously doubt La La Land is as good.
The Academy has a reputation for major *beep* ups, in 2000, Julia Roberts won over Ellen Burnstyn (Requiem for a Dream).

La La Land is excellent, a brilliant crowd pleaser with dark undertones, a lot more serious than you might think. Don't count it out.
shareNo question, I have faith in Damien Chazelle.
I don't believe that any performance by an actress this year will reach the top of the mountain. Currently, IMHO, there are two actresses the hold the pinnacle for best performance of the century: Marion Cotillard (La Mome) and Brie Larson (Room).
Inception is the best film of this century, Nolan loved La Mome.
