After a very good Golden Globes and a return to theaters as a sing-along musical event, Bohemian Rhapsody was riding high heading into the Oscar nominations this morning. Unlike some of the more high-end films expected to land Best Picture nominations, it didn’t have Director or Producer Guild awards under its belt, but the movie was still expected to land a few high profile nominations. In the end, Bohemian Rhapsody got 4 Oscar nominations, a respectable showing.
Bohemian Rhapsody had a long and winding road to get to the Oscars at all. The film was initially announced as going into production back in 2010, with Sacha Baron Cohen set to star. But clashes behind the scenes, script problems, and the star walking away from the project doomed the film to languish in development hell until Rami Malek and Bryan Singer were hired as lead and director in 2016.
