THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING MISSOURI OSCAR NOMINATIONS MOVIE
Actor-and former Oscar M.C.- Neil Patrick Harris tweeted to much attention after the article debuted: “What’s with the annoying, angry article in today’s about the movie Three Billboards?” he wrote. “It’s not as if 75-year-old white Jewish women living on the west side aren’t woke.
“Oh, believe me-Academy members are watching the movie and paying attention,” said one member who declined to be identified. Not bad for a $12 million film starring a 60-year-old woman.īut the Oscars voting window has also offered a larger platform to the film’s detractors, who find McDonagh’s handling of race in America wanting. It landed four Golden Globes, three Screen Actors Guild Awards including best ensemble, and last week was nominated for seven Academy Awards-including best picture and best actress. The Los Angeles Times’s Kenneth Turan called it “energetically demented,” while The New York Times’s Manohla Dargis reveled in McDormand’s “great, unforced naturalism.” Many critics named it to their best-of-2017 lists, and it’s grossed over $70 million worldwide. It earned a 93 percent positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes. ( La La Land won the prize in 2016.)įrom that point forward, Three Billboards looked unstoppable. What was this unapologetic film starring the beloved Frances McDormand as a take-no-shit mother out to avenge the rape and murder of her daughter in small-town America? The dark comedy later prompted an extended standing ovation after its debut at the Venice Film Festival, followed by raucous praise from Toronto audiences who handed it the coveted audience award. Audiences have been entranced by the audacity of Martin McDonagh’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri since the film’s first red band trailer dropped in March and went viral, eventually racking up over 4.5 million views.
