Let’s see how many on this FYC suggestion list gets nominated.  Moreno for Best Supporting alongside DeBose is quite ambitious wishful thinking.

How incredible it would be if Rita Moreno got nominated for this one as well? I hope she gets a meaty role

They're giving Somewhere to her. And imagine if she was nominated and WON!

Hasn’t affected anything one bit.  Not one entertainment news outlet has even mentioned anything.  Seems the Twitter hagglers are alone on this, as usual.

Still not convinced we need a remake. Especially not one with Elgort."

Modern? Nope.

It looks the exact opposite of modern, actually."

It's period look feels forced to me. It doesn't feel natural.

Also, I agree above. The stills look digital. They should've opted for film to give it a more authentically period look."

This post didn’t age well. West Side Story was filmed with film not digitally.

Indeed, the actual film itself was shot on celluloid film but this person is referring to the promotional stills - those are indeed saturated digital photos.  They could have at least emulated vintage film photos.  It’s not hard to do in post, even with digital photos.

Ok, I do see your point. I thought he was referring to the actual film.
