Burlesque is an Oscar Contender: Part One

Burlesque
Release Date: November 24, 2010
Distributor: Screen Gems
Directed By: Steve Antin
Cast: Christina Aguilera, Cher, Stanley Tucci, Kristen Bell, Alan Cumming, Eric Dane
Quick Thoughts: Is Burlesque a potential Oscar nominee or a train wreck waiting to happen? Steve Antin is making his feature directorial debut on the film, which he co-wrote with Oscar-nominated screenwriter Susannah Grant (Erin Brockovich) and Keith Merryman. It stars an Oscar winner in Cher (Moonstruck), Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci and Grammy Award winner Christina Aguilera stars as the film's lead character Ali. With a November 24 release date Columbia Pictures is obviously thinking late year awards, if at the very least a Golden Globe (Musical/Comedy) nomination, but we'll just have to wait and see. One would think this film would be prime for original song, art direction, costume and makeup nominations and perhaps editing.
