It would be really amazing if this movie was nominated for and/or won Best Picture. I would be happy if it happened to a Disney fairy tale with great production design, mostly good costumes, and a certain amount of good plot and characterization, but I would be upset if it happened to what I think is such a bad film.

I wish the costume designer would speak about how she wanted to create a traditional historical gown for Belle's ballgown, but Emma Watson forced her own prom-style design onto it because she had full creative liberties when it came to the dress.
I didn't know all that! I just thought Emma asked to have say in the dress and Jacqueline Durran happily agreed. No wonder that dress looks...blech.
I honestly don't believe this film would win, especially since the animated film is far superior and that didn't win. And more than that, I wouldn't want it to win either. I do hope though that Evermore wins Best Song since I really loved that and wouldn't mind seeing the Disney animators insert it into the film. I miss the days when they did that.
Yeah, back when the film was still fresh on people's minds, tumblr was full of how Emma Watson had created the dress and was receiving either a lot of love or hate. I am firmly in the hate camp. Gave me another reason to detest her casting, which is funny because I was actually quite satisfied with her playing Belle when she was first announced. Little did I know that she would ruin the dress, force changes onto the character to "modernize" her, and fail to effectively sing and act. On top of it all, we have to hear the wonders of how she refused to wear a corset for the film and how that becomes her so enlightened, nevermind that some women might actually like wearing a corset, but somehow that would make them less progressive.
