This episode we arrive at two inevitable discussion points for Joe and Chris. First, a fifteen minute discussion of the Cats<\/i> trailer. Second, a look at an essential This Had Oscar Buzz title: Frank Darabont\u2019s 2001 melodrama The Majestic<\/i>.<\/p>\n
The film arrived in theatres during the Christmas holiday with most of its awards hype trailing its star Jim Carrey. Here he would be playing the everyman in this Frank Capra-inspired look at Hollywood dreams and small town America – could this be the film that finally would land him an Oscar nomination after two Golden Globe victories for The Truman Show<\/i> and Man on the Moon<\/i> got shut out by Oscar? As the bad reviews and even worse box office would quickly show, the answer was no, leaving Carrey still waiting for that first dance with Oscar.<\/p>\n
This week, we take a look at Carrey\u2019s fast rise and what might have kept him out of Oscar\u2019s club. We also take a look at Frank Darabont and his relationship with Stephen King, the film\u2019s major missteps in chasing Frank Capra, and\u00a0 directors with multiple snubs in recent years despite their films making it to Best Picture.<\/p>\n
