timmer wrote: ↑Wed Apr 18, 2018 1:40 am An important point to mention re: actors. An actor must be listed in the credits of a film to count towards it. This might seem obvious, however there are occasional quickie cameos that actors choose to not make official that will not count.

The example of this that I can point to was from last year because it caused a ripple in my other league. If you watch the end credits of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, one of the floating heads that pops up is none other than Jeff Goldblum, in his Grandmaster get-up, before Thor: Ragnarok actually showed who that character was. So, the Goldblum owner in that league demanded a chunk of the GOTG2 box office since Goldblum "appeared" in the film. However, our bible is imdb, and imdb clearly shows him as "uncredited". Thus... no box office in that case.

So remember that, in case it shows up again in this league. An actor must be in the credits, to count towards box office.

Nice about most of the cast is that they don't have earlier films, so if Backseat premieres at TIFF and it's unexpectedly crappy, most of the cast can be dumped without hurting anything, but as of now, Backseat is the baitest looking end of year film out there!

Only movies opening after May 1 matter. An award for a film from earlier is useless to you.

Oh? I assumed you picked him for The Sisters Brothers, which I think has a chance at being an awards player.

You Were Never Really Here. He's utterly fantastic in it. After he got snubbed (IMO) for The Master, Inherent Vice, and Her, I feel like he's due a win, and YWNRH is basically just a big showcase for him.

(also isn't The Sisters Brothers 2019?)

I also think Laura Dern has a shot at Best Actress for The Tale, so what do I know

Sisters Brothers is expected, but not confirmed, to sneak in a NY/LA qualifying run at the end of the year, making it 2018 awards eligible.
