I have followed this indie film from the very beginning, and I'm happy to hear it's getting good reviews from some well known critics, and especially that its even getting Oscar buzz. My prediction, is perhaps Cate will get a nom for her amazing Dylan portrayal, and may also get a nom to Todd Haynes for Director. It would be awesome for Best Film as well of course. Like you mentioned Jed, I too would like to see some of the other Dylan actors get more recognition as well...especially Heath, Ben, and Christian. Realistically though, Cate's Dylan seems to be the stand out one, and also resembles him the most which seems to be getting the most attention. Perhaps one of the least noticed Dylan's, is the young actor Marcus. He should get more recognition as well because if I'm not mistaken, he's the only Dylanesque actor who does his own singing in the film! One statement that I believe I read in an article about INT which is quite true I thought, is that this film is perhaps one of the very few original films out this year. I also don't think you necessarily have to be a Dylan fan, to appreciate this film either--perhaps in some ways, non-Dylan fans would enjoy this film even more, since it would be completely fresh to them sort of speak. It's great to see another small indie film like I'm Not There, get the recognition and visibility it deserves! :) - Jan Sat, 24 Nov 2007 02:06:25 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/film_focus/indies/im_not_there/#comment-138 I\'m keeping my fingers cross too on the number of noms this film might get from the Oscars, it seems the reviewers and critics have been impressed by the performance of Cate Blanchett. I was hoping that Ben Whishaw will get the kind of recognition he deserves, but as with James McAvoy last year, he was not even considered for the nomination, in his amazing performance for The Last King of Scotland. Anyway, in Atonement I think he might. There are also talks about Christian Bale\'s performance. 8) As for Heath, I hope so. He\'s one of our best actors today! - Admin Sun, 07 Oct 2007 22:45:04 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/film_focus/indies/im_not_there/#comment-137 I\'m so glad that this is getting great reviews and a lot of attention. I was beyond thrilled at the Venice wins. In the beginning, I had been afraid that this would be another small indie that would get overlooked by the mainstream. But now, especially knowing how the Weinsteins like to promote, promote, promote, and with the reviews and festival recognition, I have high hopes that many people will have a chance to see this film. And that it will be nominated for some of the major awards during the 2008 Award Season. Can anyone say Oscar for Best Film, Director, Supporting Actress (Cate Blanchett)? And (dare I hope??) a nom for Heath Ledger? - PhyllisC Sun, 07 Oct 2007 18:51:41 +0100
