What Are Gully Boy's Chances For Oscar Nomination ? - Page 3

Hip-hop (#1 music genre in US for the current generations)

Poverty & Slums (Indian middle class hates this topic now, and I hate them for it. Angrez eat this up cause well it's so below their idea of poverty and slums)

Islamic without being self conscious or blatantly Islamophobic

From what I've heard PC is helping with the promotions and lobbying

I think this has much better chances than any recent Indian mainstream movie...

How many Indian movies have been nominated at oscars? Last was lagaan, 18yrs ago.

That should tell you it’s chances and some are acting like it’s already nominated and don’t care about winning 😂 pehle nominate hone toh do

Paheli was also selected 😂

They select shit movies and expect a nomination.

What was Oscar worthy in Gully boy? 😕

0 and it does not matter. Oscar matters for hollywood movies only.

I think it has a 50/50 chance.

it has a lot of elements that might make voters to pick it up.

And anyway, we are talking nomination first.. then winning is another ballgame alltogether.

I dunno, I wouldn 't be so shocked if it was nominated.. it's a very well executed, well made movie with an interesting story.

If it doesn't, it doesn't.. India hasn't been nominated in 19-20 years..so it's not like the other entries have done that great..

But I somewhat wish to see it get the nomination just to experience the meltdowns of..certain 'fan groups'lololol🤣

None lol. And I loved Gully Boy... after such a long long time I liked a Bollywood movie from start to finish and couldn't find any major faults. However, an Oscar? No. Especially when you realize and understand the sheer talent and genius that comes out of other countries.
