It’s January, which means that awards’ season is in full swing, and the marketing machine at IFC films is pushing for an Oscar nomination for Adèle Exarchopoulos, the break-out star of the epic lesbian-themed love story Blue Is the Warmest Color. She and her costar Léa Seydoux absolutely deserve nominations for their fearless, revelatory performances (IMHO), but it could be a long shot considering the Palme D’Or winners were not nominated for Golden Globe Awards, although the film was nominated for a Best Motion Picture Drama Globe.
The “for your consideration” push for Blue includes a brand new red band trailer with commentary from its stars!
