Can 'Burlesque' Seduce Awards Voters?

After a seven-year absence, Cher returns to the silver screen this week in "Burlesque," joined by pop songstress Christina Aguilera in her film debut. The razzle-dazzle musical, which boasts plenty of original songs, sequins and spotlights, divided reviewers resulting in a score of just 51 at MetaCritic.
One can sense Razzie voters sharpening their knives. But did anyone really expect the critical establishment -- dominated by stodgy straight guys -- to dare to admit they might enjoy a movie toplined by Cher in all of her scenery-guzzling glory? This kind of cinematic bonbon could be just the antidote a recession-weary moviegoing public needs right now.
As for its awards pedigree, Cher snagged the Best Actress Oscar in 1987 for "Moonstruck," preceded four years earlier by a Supporting Actress bid for "Silkwood." However, musical turns such as in "Burlesque" rarely earn attention from Oscar (an exception being those "Chicago" dames in 2002).
Academy voters generally prefer their female nominees and winners to be wreathed in misery, not squeezed into fishnets and stilettos. However, the "Burlesque" divas have a shot in the Comedy/Musical category at the Golden Globes. After all, Cher won that award for "Moonstruck."
The "Burlesque" soundtrack contains many original songs performed by Cher and Aguilera, with the latter even co-writing several of her numbers. The film's writer-director, Steven Antin, is listed as a writer on one track. John Patrick Shanley -- who won the Oscar for his "Moonstruck" screenplay -- contributed to the title tune belted out by Cher in the video below while six-time nominee Diane Warren penner her power ballad "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me." It's not yet clear which tunes will be submitted for consideration to the Academy by the deadline of Dec. 1.

Variety Magazine: 'Burlesque' Scores A-

Screen Gems' "Burlesque," with Sony distribbing, closely followed "Megamind" in standing, tallying an estimated five-day total of $17.6 million for a cume north of $130 million.

"Burlesque" received an overall A- aud appraisal but scored better with the under-35 crowd, which gave the pic an A rating. Male auds, who made up 31% of the film's opening demo, even gave "Burlesque" an above-average rating. Sony, however, expected the film to appeal heavily to gay men.

The film's marketing materials hyped stars Cher and Christina Aguilera, as well as the music, in trailers and online videos.

Rory Bruer, Sony prexy of worldwide distribution, credited stars Cher and Aguilera as the pic's primary draws. "Cher has a knockout song where even she said she hit a few notes she's never hit before."

Like "Burlesque," Fox's "Love and Other Drugs" tapped into a primarily female base, with 63%, and drew 60% of its aud over 25. The R-rated film, toplining Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway, repped a significant marketing challenge for Fox as it isn't a typical romantic comedy. Pic got a B- CinemaScore rating, which could reflect audience confusion.

Cher's Fans Hopelessly In Love With Christina

Best Musical Since Funny Girl

10/10

Author: rblayer from San Antonio, Texas

Growing up in the 60's I went to see "Burlesque" because of Cher. I walked out hopelessly in love with Christina Aguilera. For over a decade now I have wrongfully categorized this beautiful and talented young women in a group with the likes of other blonde paparazzi favorites like Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Lady Gaga, et al. To atone for this sin, I immediately ordered three of her albums. I can add little to the earlier rave reviews of this film, other than to say it was 100 minutes of sheer joy. Anyone complaining about this movie's plot should never, ever be allowed into a musical. I wouldn't be surprised to see numerous Oscar nominations for musical score, art direction, editing, costumes, and yes, even acting. We can only pray for more of these "Cabaret" and "Chicago" type films.
