“Joker” opened to record-breaking box office numbers: nearly $100 million domestically despite its gritty tone and R-rating. So how does that impact the film’s Oscar chances, if at all? Gold Derby editors Daniel Montgomery and Susan Wloszczyna track the race and debate whether the supervillain can really win over Oscar voters … again. Watch their discussion above.
“The biggest beneficiary of people seeing it and hearing about it is Joaquin Phoenix,” says Wloszczyna about how the film is trending in our odds. “Right now, among the Experts, he is tied with Adam Driver with 4/1 odds [for Best Actor].” But that doesn’t tell the whole story. While their odds are equal, there are more Experts predicting a Driver nomination (26 to 25) for his role as a man struggling through a divorce in “Marriage Story,” while there are actually more Experts predicting a Phoenix victory (11 to 10).
