Why "Children of Men" should be nominated for best picture

Back


VIDEO CONTAINS SPOILERS!

A video made to help publicize a criminally underrated masterpiece. Alfonso Cuarón's amazing dystopian vision "Children of Men" was completely ignored by Universal and dumped quietly at the box office despite glowing praise from critics. I made this short to help generate more buzz behind this overlooked masterpiece. Read press and more info about what happened from this here:

best picture... well, if it goes according to me, yes. The acedemy however goes after other criterias and well, to be honest, the movies nominated for best picture always had been great movies but also box office hits.

CoM has not been a box office. But how they could ignore the camera work COMPLETELY... i dont get that. the camera was the whole thing that sucked you into the movie.

the movie wasn't big enough or made my a major name in the industry.

fuck the Academy awards, giving best picture to the POS 'No Country' instead of 'Children of Men' or 'There Will be Blood', two of the best films of all time.

"but we haven't given the Coen brothers best picture yet, so i guess he have to this year!"
