Seriously. We endorse this message and for your consideration ad from the folks at Focus Features regarding the Coen Brothers’ “A Serious Man.”
There’s not a ton of Oscar buzz on this one, but it’s a silent, but deadly quality contender. Trust us, especially with 10 Best Picture nominees this year, when the Oscars finally announce their best pic noms, “A Serious Man,” — which is really yet another classic Coens work, no matter how wonderfully inscrutable it is — will be part of the list.
Also, those that do not consider the film’s lead, Michael Stuhlbarg, a serious contender for Best Male Actor, are seriously underestimating how good he is in this picture.
Will it win any major awards at the Oscars? That remains to be seen, but the aforementioned nominations, plus original screenplay, seem like very logical fits. Plus we love this poster. Plus if, “Precious,” “Avatar,” or bunk like that get nominated first, we will burn down the Academy headquarters.
