Opening in limited theatrical the same day, and then streaming on Apple starting July 28, is another brand marketing saga, The Beanie Bubble with Zach Galifianakis and Elizabeth Banks, which chronicles the rapid rise of Ty’s Beanie Babies phenomenon.įor me it is just heartening to see comedy in a position to really spark a comeback, especially after Jennifer Lawrence’s terrific No Hard Feelings continues to play well and draw solid word of mouth this summer, albeit on a smaller scale. Now we have Barbie ready to take the trend to new levels. Eva Longoria’s lively and heartfelt tale of the emergence of spicy Cheetos, Flamin’ Hot, has been a hit on both Disney+ and Hulu since debuting in June. The superb smartphone origin story BlackBerry was critically acclaimed, as was the backstory of a video game in Tetris that played like a nail-biting spy thriller on Apple. Ben Affleck’s Nike Air Jordan tale, Air, grossed over $50 million in theaters. The year 2023 has really turned out to be the year of the product biopic, and the good news is so far each one of them are really good.

Baumbach and Gerwig’s script could have a lot of support for Original Screenplay. Gosling in particular is real scene stealer. Both Gosling and title star Margot Robbie deserve consideration in the lead categories for pitch perfect performances that also have a real shot to gain momentum at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards. Original songs like Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” and the rollicking Ryan Gosling-led production number “I’m Just Ken” could compete for Best Song. For starters in crafts categories like Sarah Greenwood’s bright Production Design, Jacqueline Durran’s Costume Design, and Rodrigo Prieto’s candy technicolored cinematography, it could be a real player. Even this year the Academy showed by anointing Everything Everywhere All at Once with its highest honor that it is willing to look more out of the box, something Barbie would be literally and figuratively.īecause this is a movie that sneaks up on you and has more of an acidly witty Billy Wilder sensibility to it, I could see it playing surprisingly well with the Academy. Broad comedy master Mel Brooks is getting an honorary Oscar in November, so that’s high acknowledgement of the genre. That person happened to be Janet Yang, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and her effusive reaction (just one of many similar I heard afterwards) led me to think, despite its genre and July release, that Barbie could have some real potential come Oscar time, even as Warners tees up other more obvious hopefuls in the fall like Dune Part Two and the film adaptation of the Broadway musical version of The Color Purple.Ĭomedy, or actually more broad comedy like Barbie, usually gets treated like a second-class citizen at the Academy Awards with some exceptions - like Tootsie, which made it into the Best Picture race Tom Jones, which won Some Like It Hot, which got a few nominations more recently Adam McKay films like Don’t Look Up and movies like The Producers, Pillow Talk, Moonstruck and others over the years that took home screenplay Oscars in their time.
