For Your Consideration: Paramount campaigning for a Best Picture nod for Transformers: Age of Extinction

December 7, 2014 by Gary Collinson

It’s the highest-grossing movie of the year, so it must be good, right? Well, that seems to be the view of Paramount Pictures, who are campaigning for a Best Picture nomination for Michael Bay’s critically-derided Transformers sequel Transformers: Age of Extinction with a ‘For Your Consideration’ ad for the upcoming Academy Awards. And it seems the studio has ambitions of racking up a Titanic-like haul of nominations…

So, it’s already made the shortlist for Best Visual Effects… how many nominations do you think Paramount will manage to secure for Transformers: Age of Extinction?

Transformers: Age of Extinction sees Michael Bay directing a cast that includes Mark Wahlberg (Pain & Gain), Jack Reynor (What Richard Did), Nicola Peltz (Bates Motel), Stanley Tucci (Captain America: The First Avenger), Li Bingbing (Resident Evil: Retribution), Sophia Myles (Underworld), Victoria Summer (Saving Mr. Banks), Titus Welliver (Lost) and T.J. Miller (She’s Out of My League) alongside voice actors John Goodman (Inside Llewyn Davis), Ken Watanabe (Godzilla), John DiMaggio (Futurama), Mark Ryan (Transformers) and the returning Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, Robert Foxworth and Reno Wilson.
