It's possible, and interesting to think about. But at this time the notion is far-fetched.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

I largely love the script, and being an uber fan I'm excited to see this, but it's too far under the radar to be nominated for any major Oscars IMHO. I don't see it happening.

I was lucky enough to see a special screening of this several weeks ago. It's beautifully photographed, and Bryce Dallas Howard is phenomonal - you immediately want to see her tackle all the Williams material, especially Maggie. The entire cast does a great job, but the material is a little thin. It's a must for any Williams fans, but won't be an easy sell for the general public.
