The Wrap: Why 'The Artist' Stands to Gain More From Its Oscar Nods Than 'Hugo' [ARTST]
"The Artist" came in second to "Hugo" in nominations, with 10 to the latter's 11 nods, but the movie is much earlier in its box office run than 3D "Hugo.
“ 'The Artist’ will benefit maybe more than any film in the history of Oscar nominations,” Jeff Bock, an analyst with Exhibitor Relations, told TheWrap Tuesday. “Unlike ‘The King’s Speech,’ where a speech impediment is one thing, having no speaking whatsoever in your film presents a real test of how to market it to middle America.”
