Her great aunt secretly steals part of the film, so her notion that “she might ruin the movie” is funny to me. This film is a masterpiece and Lulu has a bright future.
not necessarily suspiria got on this last year and did not get a single nomination. Just saw The Farewell and it deserves some noms but it’s not a sure thing.
If they're behind the scenes, and show up to one of these, they get to talk about certain difficulties they experienced. Mary Zophres went to the Ballad of Buster Scruggs screening, and explained how she made Liam Neeson's fur coat without using animal fur. That probably helped in getting her a Costume Design nomination.
It means it's in consideration. They're thinking about it and when the people who participated in making these films comes and talks to them--that can sway voters one way or another.
