OSCAR Nominated - Exit Through The Gift Shop, by BK83 on Jan 5, 2011 19:08:20 GMT 1, hyperallergic.com/16032/banksy-oscar/
The LA Times reports that chances look good for Banksyโs film Exit Through the Gift Shop to receive a nomination for the Oscars documentary category, completely destroying any idea that Banksy is some kind of anti-establishment bandit. Iโm just surprised that Banksy could pull off going even more mainstream than he already had.
The BBC reports that Banksyโs film made it into the Best Documentary nomination long list of 15, but it remains to be seen whether or not Gift Shop will be among the final five nominees presented at the awards ceremony. The final five will be chosen on January 25.
Still, the final nomination is not exactly a sure thing. As David Ng points out, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is notoriously fickle about which documentaries enter in to the awards. Popular favorites often donโt make it into the final reckoning, and the same fate might befall Banksyโs self-reflexive portrait of street art and artists.
While itโs great that a film invested in the street art (and fine art) world is popular enough to be considered for an Oscar nomination, it just seems the height of irony that such a counter-culture figure as the anonymous Banksy might be personally nominated for a very public film award. Ng questions the implications, asking what might happen if Banksy were nominated and asked to go to the award ceremony. Well, the artist might send in a representative, or he could just accept that he is now a public art figure and do away with the whole anonymity thing. It would be nice to think that the latter might happen, but I think the former is the only possibility.
As long as Banksy doesnโt take his audience seriously, thereโs not much reason to take him seriously. If the artist actually ends up with an Oscar, heโll probably just think it was an excellent โconceptualโ joke and part of his โlife-performanceโ anyway. Boo. For more on Exit Through the Gift Shop check out Hyperallergicโs previous coverage of the film, including a review by Nick Riggle and another by Hrag Vartanian.
The Oscars ceremony is scheduled for February 27th, so maybe then weโll all catch a glimpse of Banksy on live TV. Something to tell the grandkids Nevermind.

congrats to Banksy though. Definitely cool

Are you kidding, soldiers aren't heroes in any case.

Yeah, thats who I would think, but for PR reasons would they do something different? I mean they are promoting it as a "Banksy Film" so could they be afraid if Jamie pick the award up on his own, a percentage of the people watching might wrongly assume he is Banksy?

Yeah, I think a whole load of people who were involved in the production all dressed the same and in the Banksy monkey masks would be good

Restrepo I didn't like the subject but the film itself was superb...but i'd prefer Inside Job to win it and given it's subject matter it probably will.

Bet there'll be a few executives contacting PC to see if they can get in on the action... how does this sound:
Exit Through the Gift Shop II โ Robbo Strikes Back or Exit Through the Gift Shop 'F5' โ The Online Print Release
