Nice predictions. The best thing about this year for me is that there seems to be so many female-led films in the Oscar race, much more than last year. Best Actress will be packed.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I have a feeling Best Actress will be reduced to 6 or 7 contenders, if that, but I hope I'm wrong.
DeleteThese look good buddy! I need to just get mine done. I think I'm making a lot of changes...eek!
ReplyDeleteBut YAY to the Suffragette love now. I just feel like it's going to be huge.
Thanks pal! Haha, I struggled to make ANY changes at first. :P
DeleteSuffragette feels like a sleeper, but I wonder if it only gets in BP with 5+ noms, like, for instance, An Education did.
I haven't heard of Suffragette yet but I LOVE Carey Mulligan. In fact, I'm super excited for Far from the Madding Crowd tonight!
ReplyDeleteOh, I can't wait to see Far from the Madding Crowd. I'll see anything with Mulligan it!
DeleteGreat predictions. There is some talk of Alicia Vikander going supporting for The Danish Girl though. Depending on how strong the category is.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I almost put Vikander in supporting, but I'm waiting to see how that plays out.
DeleteCome oooonnn team Leo :) !!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed!
DeleteMy Best Actor predictions for now are exactly identical. I almost didn't include Redmayne, though. Partially because of how I was left soured by both how he won Best Actor over Keaton and campaigned like a madman for that award and also because The Danish Girl was in development hell which might be a bad sign. But if it does fare well, they'll probably eat his performance up.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I do like Redmayne as an actor, but I hate that his overbearing campaign won him an Oscar, especially over Keaton. I just hope he doesn't win another one this year.
DeleteYeah, I hope so too. Especially when we have actors that should already have Oscars by now like Michael Fassbender (my favorite actor) and Leo DiCaprio in the mix.
DeleteIf Leo or Fassbender wins, I'll be thrilled. Hoping a little more for a DiCaprio victory at this point, though.
