Whoa easy there cowboy... it's still early days, the film hasn't even come out yet.
Even if it's good enough for an oscar nod I think it's really hard to win with a Shakespearean role... unless he plays MacBeth as a wheelchair bound, autistic savant who's just been diagnosed with an incurable disease, fighting to overcome societies prejudices all the while leading an epic revolution that culminates in a sword fight to the death with his left foot.

LOL I guess that's the only way he'll win huh. How about not showing his face, like Frank. Think he'll get another nod?
OMG, that's awesome! So maybe Macbeth will premiere at Toronto, Telluride or London Film Festival! Can't wait for September to come

Well, it's rare but Michael can certainly win an Oscar because, at least based on the trailer reception at Cannes, his performance has already been praised! Marion herself has said that has done something amazing there: "I saw a lot of movies he was in, and I have the feeling hes reached another level here. When you start a scene and you dont really know where youre going to go, thats a roller-coaster. Many times I was surprised by what he does in this movie, and this is priceless". Who knows???

Yes, the article from Variety is saying that. But how do you know tickets are sold out? They are already selling them? I thought they revealed the lineup for Telluride only on the week before the festival.
I had checked out the website, Telluride Film Festival. Big event so I'm guessing anyone who wants to go have to buy tickets well in advance
OMG! Now I'm even more excited for it!
I think they usually announce their lineup a week before the estival so in August we'll know it. Is it possible that Macbeth is finished by then? In six months?

Who knows. Might be some editing left to do. I read Macbeth has a November or Christmas release. Telluride is from August 29-Sep 1. They have limited all access pass and Sponsor pass. (Not sure if those are still available). Toronto Film Festival is from Sep 4-14. Venice Film Festival is from August 27-Sep 6.
Yeah, filming finished in March so by September I believe it's already finished. Some films are edited quite fast, specially when producers want it ready for Awards Season. And Weinstein wants it ready for that! I think it can be screened at London Film Festival. What place can be better than the land of Shakespeare?
Besides, Michael will probably promote Slow West at Toronto and Marion her film Two Days, One Night. Maybe Weinstein will want them to promote Macbeth exclusively. Let's wait and see!
Plus he should've gained or lost an astonishing amount of weight in a WWII setting. That would've sealed the deal.
Btw, Frank will definitely not get him an Oscar nod. It's not the kind of movie that even gets considered for the Oscars. It's some kind of indie movie that is considered too light an entertainment. And also Michael doesn't like kissing arses of old, white (-haired), conservative men as we already learned.
Question Bagberry13. Do you think Michael's invitation to the Academy will increase or diminish his chances of getting an Oscar? Whether its for, if not Frank then, Macbeth or another movie
It won't do anything with his chances. It's hardly an acknowledgment of them basically saying yes we've noticed you're making good movies but you don't deserve neither a nod nor an actual Oscar yet. If it would be solely based on Michael's work he'd gotten an Oscar long ago but the Academy Awards are about campaigning. It's politics more than anything else. Well and a bit of Weinstein.
