"This Is It" is undoubtedly a success. It gives audiences a never before seen glimpse into the late Michael Jackson's life and preparation for his highly anticipated tour by the same name, This Is It.
According to USA Today Sony believes the movie is Oscar material, and possibly in the run for Best Picture.
"A spokeswoman for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences says that once the film completes a seven-day run, it will be eligible for consideration in sound and editing categories as well as best picture."
Personally, I have mixed feelings about this. Michael Jackson is a legend, and being so, anything that involves him (especially now) is guaranteed success. I hope that the shock of his death doesn't propel this film so far that the documentary overshadows other large productions of the year.
What do you think?
