Here's a
Variety article that discusses possible Oscarn nominations. It lists Bad Santa, reasons why it might and why it might not.
Quote:
Title: Bad Santa
Studio: Miramax
Director: Terry Zwigoff (news)
Cast: Billy Bob Thornton (news), Lauren Graham (news), Bernie Mac (news), John Ritter (news)
Box office: Why it will be nominated: A adults-only version of Kris Kringle is nice change from the sugar and sweet.
Why it won't be nominated: Might make the HFPA look a bit too cynical.
Variety review: First-rate talent and a uniquely dyspeptic mood separate this effort from more routine, populist stabs at tasteless yukkage.[/i]
