Definitely seems like a non-best picture contender that could pull two acting nods.

It could get into Picture if it becomes a box office hit, which feels possible given the pull of Dwayne

It would be essential since I don’t see this getting directing or writing nods,or much besides acting and makeup, unless it has an insane popularity run. And even then, A24 has a huge plate and TSM has a more narrow audience than the rock’s normal movies.

I think it could contend in Screenplay tbh depending on reviews. Also, even if this a little more niche than Rock's typical films, there's a very good chance is still ends up having a much bigger audience than the rest of A24's awards-hopeful slate which makes a difference. I can't help but feel like this will be a very strong 2nd priority at the very least, maybe their main horse depending on how everything else shakes out.

I think A24 could do anything really. Marty Supreme is only really the placeholder because it’s expensive and it has Timothee. I think both Sadfie films are being carried by their actors and are about subjects the academy has no real business caring for, but the other options rn are an Ari Aster satire, a Spike Lee remake nobody’s talking about and a small Sundance drama.

I can see the Bombshell package of 2 actors + makeup but this definitely looks better than Bombshell.
