Why Disney Not Pushing Avengers: Infinity War For The Oscars Is A Huge Mistake

Why Disney Not Pushing Avengers: Infinity War For The Oscars Is A Huge Mistake

Superhero movies never were confused with Oscar contenders. Years ago, there was arthouse prestige and summer-blockbuster fare, and never the two ever met. But Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight started to change that conversation, while recent films such as Wonder Woman and Logan continued the push toward seeing a comic-book adaptation become a legitimate Best Picture contender. This year, Disney is putting a lot of its Awards Eggs into the basket of Black Panther, ignoring Avengers: Infinity War in the process, and I'm telling you, that's a huge mistake.

We're officially in the Oscar season -- a time of the year that technically happens all year, but really ramps up in October, November and December. Films with Oscar aspirations, from Boy Erased and Green Book to If Beale Street Could Talk, start to arrive in theaters.

At the same time, studios mount For Your Consideration campaigns to remind awards nominators of the excellent films that came out earlier in the year that still deserve Oscar love. It's here, on Disney's official FYC site, that we learn of the categories it will campaign for on behalf of its films. And there's a distinct disparity.

Ryan Coogler's Black Panther -- an excellent superhero film and an outstanding feature, period -- will receive the complete awards push from Disney. The studio is lobbying for all of the expected technical categories (Visual Effects, Sound Mixing, Film Editing, Cinematography) as well as all of the above the line categories, from Actor and Director to Best Picture. Disney wants Black Panther to make a HUGE splash at the Oscars.

Meanwhile, across the proverbial aisle, Joe and Anthony Russo's monumental achievement, Avengers: Infinity War, is being campaigned for one category: Best Visual Effects. That's all. Nothing else.

That's a slap in the face.

It's also a mistake, because from top to bottom, Avengers: Infinity War is a better film. Listen, we're comparing an A+ to an A, and everyone's opinions are going to be different. My take is that the Russos tackled, and accomplished, more in Infinity War in terms of storytelling, character arc and effects composition that Ryan Coogler was even asked to do in Black Panther. And to campaign for one but not the other is a short-sighted mistake.

We'll get to why I think Disney's choosing Black Panther over Avengers: Infinity War in a bit. For now, let's discuss the other categories that SHOULD be on Disney's FYC page for Joe and Anthony Russo's masterpiece.

Seeing only one category on the page makes it look like a mistake. If Black Panther is lobbying for nominations in the tech categories of Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Mixing, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Editing and more, why wouldn't Avengers: Infinity War also contend for recognition in those fields?

The Marvel movies routinely compete in the Best Visual Effects category, with films such as Doctor Strange, Iron Man 3 and Guardians of the Galaxy landing in the Oscar category over the years. This one's almost a given for Marvel Studios, the way Pixar expects to be in Best Animated Feature every year it has a movie in theaters.

Marvel has not been as successful in the Sound Mixing and Sound Editing categories, though these are often populated by blockbusters that are effects driven. Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug are three like-minded blockbusters that received Oscar nominations in these tech categories, and Avengers: Infinity War has every right to throw its hat into the consideration ring for all of its technical achievements, not just Best Visual Effects.

Feeling more brazen? Get crazy. Mount a push for Josh Brolin in the Supporting Actor category, and try to make headway in the battle to recognize motion capture as actual acting.

Arguably, Avengers: Infinity War is Thanos' movie. All of the action is structured around him -- whether it involves his quest to obtain the Infinity Stones, or the heroes' mission to stop him. And Brolin, using cutting-edge mo-cap technology, pours compassion and pathos into a genre-defining villain performance that raises the bar on the type of characters that can now exist in a blockbuster.

Josh Brolin, the actor, isn't visible in Thanos as we watch the Mad Titan come alive on screen. And yet, without Brolin, there IS no Thanos. Just like there is no Caesar in the Planet of the Apes movies without Andy Serkis. I am not exaggerating when I say that the work put in by Brolin and his team to bring Thanos to life in Avengers: Infinity War is Oscar worthy. Disney not bothering to even campaign on his behalf is a mistake.

This is not a "Black Panther versus Infinity War" discussion. Currently, both movies are on my own personal Top 10 list of the year, and I'd be thrilled to see both movies go deep in the Oscar race (ahead of obvious Oscar bait like First Man).

My larger point is that Disney is going to campaign heavily in favor of Black Panther, why not also lobby for recognition for its equally impressive (I'd argue MORE impressive) Avengers: Infinity War?

So why is Disney choosing Black Panther over Avengers: Infinity War in the year-end Oscar race? Basically because it appears that they don't want to compete against themselves in any of the major categories, and they believe that Ryan Coogler's film has a better shot at overcoming the obstacles already associated with being a superhero movie at the Oscars, so it's best to back one horse and hope its success floats all boats.

Signs would indicate that Disney's correct, and that Panther has the better odds. Earlier this year, the Academy temporarily floated with the idea of creating a Popular Oscar category, freeing up the membership to recognize an audience-friendly film in a separate category, then grant the "real" Best Picture win to a traditional Oscar film. Whatever that may be.

At the time, the Popular Oscar category was jokingly called The Black Panther Oscar, since it was viewed as a blatant attempt by the Academy to recognize a financially successful popcorn film that also addressed the body's need to attract and honor more diversity.

The category quickly died (as it should have), but the momentum for Black Panther did not. Many still believe that Ryan Coogler's boundary pushing achievement still deserves all sorts of awards consideration, thereby resulting in Disney's massive push to keep it on the radars of all awards-nominating committees.

I agree with them. Black Panther should contend for Oscars. But not at the expense of Avengers: Infinity War. Joe and Anthony Russo tackled a massive story with countless significant characters, shining the spotlight on a CGI villain who became a living, breathing threat to half of our planet's very existence. Infinity War is a mind-blowing technical achievement, and a staggering entry in what's already the Golden Age of comic book films.

To me, it's the best Marvel Studios film released this year, and campaigning for one but not the other feels like a slight to the Russos, and a major mistake.

Evil Deads Bruce Campbell Wants A Younger Actor To Take Over As Ash

Evil Deads Bruce Campbell Wants A Younger Actor To Take Over As Ash

Bruce Campbell recently announced he's done playing the iconic role of Ash Williams, so what does that mean for the future of the Evil Dead franchise? Hopefully, not much, at least if Campbell gets his way. The actor knows that franchise reboots are all the rage these days, and he'd be totally fine with seeing a younger actor take over the role of Ash. According to Campbell...

I'd be perfectly fine if they find some young Ash, do some new incarnation, let some other poor bastard get covered in blood. It's all good.

While not every actor gets excited when it turns out a character they once played is being recast, rebooted, or whatever, Bruce Campbell tells Entertainment Weekly that he has no problem if that happens to Ash. Campbell has been attached to the role for decades. Even during the period between the third film and the TV series Ash vs. Evil Dead where not much happened, the actor was still synonymous with the role, but he's clearly done with it now and if he's not using it, there's no reason somebody else can't.

In fact, not only is Bruce Campbell ok with somebody else taking over the Evil Dead universe, he's strongly in favor of the idea. He sees the potential of multiple new Evil Dead projects, including not just something new for Ash, but something more from the Ash-less Evil Dead remake from back in 2013.

I hope there are very many variations of Evil Dead. You've got the leftover characters from the series, you've got the characters from the remake that we did a few years ago. You can intersect universes.

It's a pretty safe bet that, one way or another the Evil Dead franchise will continue. It's a popular name with a lot of fans and those brands don't just disappear off the face of the earth. The only real questions are how long will it remain dormant and what form will it take when it comes back? The Evil Dead remake went with a somewhat different plan a couple years back by taking the basic premise of the original Sam Raimi horror movie and filling it with a new cast of characters. This was likely done, at least in part, to avoid having to recast Ash, especially when fans were still hoping to see Bruce Campbell in the role again. Now the handcuffs are off and recasting Ash Williams could very well happen.

Could we see a sequel to the remake that introduces Ash, or another reboot entirely? The former could theoretically happen quickly if somebody was so inclined, while the latter would probably need to wait to get some space between it and the 2013 remake. Either way, it sounds like it all has Bruce Campbell's blessing.

Should a younger act get cast as the new Ash Williams? Let us know what you think in the poll below.

How Chris Pines A Wrinkle In Time Character Compares To Other Heroes He Has Played

How Chris Pines A Wrinkle In Time Character Compares To Other Heroes He Has Played

Over the course of the last few years, Chris Pine has remained a consistent fixture as an action hero in the realms of fantasy and science fiction. He is known for portraying swashbuckling badasses like Star Trek's James Kirk and Wonder Woman's Steve Trevor, but he found a new fantasy character in the form of A Wrinkle in Time's Dr. Alex Murry. That said, the difference between his new character and those earlier ones extends far beyond the source material that he is jumping to, as Pine recently sat down with CinemaBlend and explained that Alex Murry is a far more intellectual, science-oriented hero than men like Kirk or Trevor. Pine told us:

I think in that he's a real pure intellect. He's one of these people I always looked up to who whose mind works so quickly and with such facility. He can balance humungous ideas in his brain. So yeah, his great weapon is the speed of his mind.

Those qualities are arguably far more important for a character like Alex Murry than James Kirk or Steve Trevor. A Wrinkle in Time deals with some pretty lofty scientific ideas, and he's at the forefront of them all. There's no Spock around to help him sift through the material, and no Diana Prince to explain the magic and mythology. In the world of A Wrinkle in Time, he is the brains of the operation, and his mind serves as "his great weapon." Sometimes that's the most powerful tool at one's disposal.

It is also worth mentioning that someone like Dr. Alex Murry needs to rely on his wits and his intellect based on the tone of a movie like A Wrinkle in Time. Ava DuVernay's Disney adventure is not a traditional action romp like many of Chris Pine's other adventure films, which means his portrayal of the character cannot rely on his typical cocky bravado. In other words, don't expect to see Alex Murry throwing any punches, crack wise in the face of danger or seduce an oddly-colored alien woman in this film. He is a thinking man's hero who leads with his brain, though in the movie, it's up to his children and their friend Calvin to ultimately rescue him.

A Wrinkle in Time is now in theaters, so make sure to read CinemaBlend's full review of Ava DuVernay's sci-fi fantasy adventure (as well as our review roundup) and check it out to see Chris Pine's Alex Murry for yourself. Looking ahead to the rest of 2018, however, you can also head over to CinemaBlend's comprehensive movie premiere guide to see what other major movies are on the horizon, which include Chris Pine appearing in Outlaw King.

I'm not sure why there are so many skeptics about Chris Pine's height. He really does look a strong 6' on film and on television.
