Jim Parsons could lead ‘The Boys in the Band’ to Oscar glory.

I thought Parsons was the weakest link

It will receive zero nominations. Stupid Gold Derby article doesn't even take into account their own charts which show it having no traction.

Meh, it’s okay, however the original cast had chemistry.

Quinto was so odd in this

I just saw this and loved it. Great cast. I wonder what Alan had to tell Michael...

This movie has gotten ZERO Oscar buzz.

Hell, even the Golden Globes ignored it, and the Hollywood Foreign Press will lob a nomination at just about anything (see Madonna in "Evita").

Nope.

It didn't bring anything new to the table except a more racial sensitive update.

Personally I prefer Kenneth Nelson's performance in the 70's version. It had heart and a wounded soul. Parsons' performance was a bit shrill coming from wounded pride.

But I love Parsons other work.

Oscar? I thought it was a TV movie for Netflix.

Heavens no!

I would bet you a hundred to one OP is Lynn Stairmaster.

"Oscars for everyone! Including Gavroche!"

Uh, no, honey. It was horrif.

OP must be the same idiot who wrote the article for the idiotic Gold Derby.

I guess Parsons was ok, but his character is such an asshole I have a hard time rooting for him.

Zero effect. Not a single nomination will it garner. There's no buzz surrounding this film only a barely audible drone.

R1. No, that was Jane Lynch as Ghost Justin

I really don't understand the hate for this movie. I thought it was very well done. I don't know about Oscar nom, but I thought Parsons did a great job.

R17 It felt like a run through of the original film and suffered in every way by comparison.

It didn't even do well on the platform it was released on.

Not to mention the fact that the damn thing has been staged and remade more than once. It did not break any new ground that the original movie didn't cover.

Unless I’m incorrect, it’s a made for TV movie, not a theatrical release. How could it be “Oscar worthy?”

R20, It's a Netflix release feature film, which is considered a theatrical release in the year of COVID without having to do much at all.

It's no different than Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Mank or Hillbilly Elegy which all were released as streaming films and all will have the potential to be nominated for an Oscar.

Thanks to COVID, one might say this is the year of the TV Movie Oscars.
