How To Win An Oscar

As I have a pretty good track record of helping my clients to win awards and because I spent over 30 years doing PR in films and TV, I think I'm well placed to give the benefit of my extensive knowledge and experience to all those thespians who fancy claiming one of those much coveted golden gongs in 2020, as this year’s nominations loom shortly.

Although you might get a heads up with a famous director like Scorcese, Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuarón, Steve McQueen or Mr Spielberg, you don’t have to rely on the renown of the director or even the producer to grab a golden statue.

A good script obviously helps, but the road from a good script to a decent film is a long one and there are no guarantees of a success even if the words are a gem. The mysterious magic that turns a mediocre film into an arthouse sensation or a box office blockbuster cannot be defined or mass produced.

Usually for all actors and actresses, it’s best not to expect Oscar to come knocking if you’re in a prequel or sequel, although that didn’t hurt Godfather ll. Don’t ask what happened with Godfather lll, one of the worst sequels of all time. Also, all those Marvel comic superhero/heroine movies that make billions aren’t necessarily a route to awards, although it can give you a straight road to deposit your massive cheque and subsequent percentages of box office takings in the bank and buy that marvellous mansion by the pool in Beverly Hills. Or a yacht if you already have at least one of the above.
