Bradley Cooper Deserved An Oscar Nomination For Best Director

Bradley Cooper Deserved An Oscar Nomination For Best Director

The nominees for the 91st Academy Awards were announced bright and early this morning. And as is the case every year, there is a lot to discuss. Just like every other year, a lot of that discussion will be around who got snubbed. Snubs are a natural product of awards, where only a certain number of people can be recognized. This is an evaluation of art, not a mathematical measurement, it is subjective and imperfect and susceptible to multiple forces that have nothing to do with the art itself. That means that fair or unfair, like it or not, someone inevitably always gets left out.

Still, Bradley Cooper deserved an Oscar nomination for Best Director for A Star is Born.

When the five nominees for Best Director were read off, Bradley Cooper's name was glaring in its absence. The category consists of Spike Lee for BlacKkKlansman, Alfonso Cuarn for Roma, Pawel Pawlikowski for Cold War, Yorgos Lanthimos for The Favourite and Adam McKay for Vice. It is a fine list of deserving candidates, but Bradley Cooper deserved to be among them. More than that, he was expected to be.

There is no such thing as a sure thing, especially when it comes to Oscar prognostication. But Bradley Cooper getting a Best Director nod for A Star is Born seemed about as much a lock as anything else this year. This wasn't a case of everyone hoping he would get in against all odds and despite evidence to the contrary. Bradley Cooper has been a mainstay of awards season, and that led us to believe that he would be recognized with a nomination for the industry's highest honor.

Bradley Cooper netted a Best Director nomination at the Golden Globes, and although the award wound up going to Alfonso Cuarn for Roma, at least Cooper was among the nominees. Bradley Cooper also received a record 5 nominations for the BAFTA Award, including for Best Director. The Directors Guild of America nominations are usually a pretty good indicator of the eventual Oscar nominees and Bradley Cooper received a DGA nomination for Best Director there too.

This is not to mention the many nominations that A Star is Born itself has garnered throughout awards season. The point is that there were plenty of reasons and historical indicators to think that Bradley Cooper was a shoe-in for a Best Director nomination. And with good reason, because what he did with A Star is Born is nothing short of incredible.

With A Star is Born, Bradley Cooper took a story told multiple times before and remade it for modern audiences. And in doing so, he crafted an emotional musical epic. This is a deftly directed film that is both hugely entertaining and has a deeply human core. Bradley Cooper makes smart choices that have a huge impact and help this film to say something.

Everything from the concert that opens the film, to the calamitous awards ceremony, to the heartbreaking end, and all the quiet moments in between are crafted with skill-- conveying meaning and expanding his characters. The romance between Bradley Cooper's Jackson Maine and Lady Gaga's Ally is positively electrifying and the first 45 minutes of A Star is Born alone are deserving of a Best Director nomination.

Bradley Cooper not only directed A Star is Born, but he co-wrote the script, starred in it and sang his own songs, some of which he helped write. He also directed his co-star Lady Gaga, who is relatively new and inexperienced in acting, to an Academy Award nominated performance (to be fair Alfonso Cuarn did the same with Yalitza Aparicio). He also got a stellar (no surprise) performance out of Sam Elliott, netting him his first nomination. Bradley Cooper brought the best out in himself and in his cast and that is one of the primary jobs of a director.

What makes the achievement all the more impressive is that this was Bradley Cooper's directorial debut; he did all of this his first time out. That shouldn't be an excuse for him not receiving a nomination either, because Robert Redford, Kevin Costner and Sam Mendes as well as a few others all won Best Director statues their first time out. This precedent disproves any sentiment that a director has to pay their dues and shouldn't be nominated or even win for their first film.

In addition to being one of the best-reviewed movies of 2018 A Star is Born was also a smash hit at the box office, earning more than $400 million worldwide. A Star is Born checks every box the Academy could want in a film: it's artistic, critically-acclaimed, it's about the entertainment industry, and it was commercially successful and that wouldn't have happened without Bradley Cooper.

A Star is Born was nominated for 8 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Song, Best Sound Mixing and Best Adapted Screenplay. There is often the question of how a film can be nominated for Best Picture if the director, the person most responsible for the final film, isn't nominated for Best Director and Bradley Cooper's snub demands that question be answered.

Bradley Cooper wasn't some hired gun; he was intimately involved in the creation of this film beyond just directing. So how could A Star is Born be deserving of all these nominations and Bradley Cooper not be? This is a snub akin to Ben Affleck's Best Director snub in 2013 for Argo.

I'm not saying that any of the nominees don't deserve the honor and I'm not sure who I would take out to give Bradley Cooper the spot, but I do know that he deserved a nomination. Ultimately the Best Director Oscar is probably Alfonso Cuarn's to lose, but the clich is true, it is an honor just to be nominated and Bradley Cooper deserved that honor for A Star is Born.

The 91st Academy Awards air on February 24 on ABC. Check out our 2019 Release Schedule to see all the big movies looking to make a splash at next year's ceremony.

Johnny Depps New Movie Has Been Pulled A Month Before Release

Johnny Depps New Movie Has Been Pulled A Month Before Release

Late release date changes are rarely a good sign. Essentially, when it happens there is a strong suggestion that the distributor got cold feet due to negative circumstances - and that can include the quality of the "finished" product. Obviously it's a case by case basis, but now a lot of eyes are on the drama City of Lies, which has been pulled from the calendar just a few weeks before its scheduled release.

Per Entertainment Weekly, the film was originally supposed to come out on September 7th, but now those plans have been nixed. Directed by Brad Furman and starring Forest Whitaker and Johnny Depp, the feature now has an unclear future, as Global Road has not yet announced what their next step will be. According to the magazine, the studio did not immediately respond with a comment on the story.

Based on the true story and the book by Randall Sullivan, City of Lies is set in Los Angeles and follows the investigation trying to uncover the murderer of famed rapper Notorious B.I.G. Forest Whitaker plays journalist Jack Jackson in the movie, while Johnny Depp portrays L.A.P.D. Detective Russell Poole. They wind up combining resources while hunting for the rapper's killer - though it's well known the case was never completed.

The film launched its first trailer back in May, so even if we don't get to see City of Lies up on the big screen in the next few months, at the very least we do have some footage from the movie, proving its existence:

Film fans have a busy fall ahead, with a number of intensely-anticipated features from fantastic filmmakers and performers - so it may ultimately be a serious challenge for City of Lies to find an appropriate weekend for release going forward (particularly if there are last minute changes that need to be made before its deemed ready for theaters). We'll keep you posted on what the plans are, so be on the lookout for updates here on CinemaBlend. For now you can see the titles that are still hitting cinemas this fall with our 2018 Release Date Calendar.

As for you Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker fans specifically, the former will likely next be featured as the antagonist in David Yates' Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald; while the latter - who was in Black Panther earlier this year, will be seen in Mark Steven Johnson's Finding Steve McQueen.
