Everyone’s (mostly everyone on here ) favorite car movie of 2019 gets some deserved attention from the Academy.
-Best Picture
-Best Sound Mixing
-Best Sound Editing
-Best Film Editing
It’s unlikely this movie will grab the best picture title (the category is STACKED this year), I can definitely see them earning the other three. They did a great job pleasing the enthusiasts with fairly accurate engine notes, tire squeals, and other car related things that we tend to pick out of movies (looking at you, F&F franchise). Note I said mostly accurate, because there were some things I caught. Such as the GT40 hitting 220 MPH on the front straight of the track.
Personally, I thought Bale should have at least gotten a nomination for best supporting actor. For a character as private as Ken Miles, he did a great job portraying him.

That GT40 stunt car is an unholy abomination.
I want 7.

I didn’t see the second part of your comment until I clicked on it. I was ready to refute your claim.

“There can be only one”, “ if you ain’t first you’re last”, my ass. Every nominee is a winner as far as I’m concerned. Not in the sense of some lame participation award, but because t here are always so many REALLY good movies that aren’t really fair to compare against one another. Having to pick one is just plain cruel.

There really are so many great movies. Which is why I like how the Golden Globes does it. They split into two categories: Drama or Musical & Comedy . It’s rare for a comedy to get picked for the best picture, and a lot deserve the proper recognition.
