PerTHR , A24 is preparing"major awards campaigns"for both the motion-picture show and Franco ’s carrying out as Wiseau . By now , the studio is well - verse on the awarding racing circuit , having successfully pushedRoom(the Brie Larson fomite , notTheRoom ) and Best Picture winnerMoonlightin the past two years . The capable matter ofThe Disaster Artistcould make it a popular pickaxe amongst voter ; the only matter the Academy tend to care more than a World War II play is a film that explore the inner workings of the amusement diligence . BirdmanandLa La Landare two late examples of this , andDisaster Artistwould surely love to follow those footsteps .

powerful now , The Disaster Artisthas as serious a shot as any picture to take home some Oscar gold . Many of the dip festival have already come in and survive , and there ’s yet to be a clear frontrunner leading the face pack . There are a handful of on - paper locks in competition , but the batting order rest fluid , and an nonsensical celebration of movie making could emerge as a dark horse when it ’s all said and done . A24 has other possibilities on their plate ( such asThe Florida Project ) , but they deserve credit for trying to make Wiseau at the Oscars encounter .
