Alpha Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 So I'm going through the list now and, wow. We have a huge tiebreaker coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Just a reminder, Meryl Streep's votes for Best Supporting Actress are being directed towards Best Actress, since that's what Blank has for her on his FYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The oscars don't work like that. Leading Actress votes count in leading actress only and supporting actress votes count in supporting actress only. The campaign is only to guide people and to tell them how to vote. How people actually vote is a different story. If a person garners enough votes to be nominated in either category, they are nominated in the category that they garnered the most votes in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, fine then, I'll just take that into account come tiebreakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Correct ric. If someone puts Meryl in Supporting, that vote HAS to be counted towards Supporting. People disagree with FYC choices all the time, it's their right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 IMO, Blank, It's in your best interest to promote Streep for BSA. She's more likely to etch out a win there rather than against Palthrow and Kendrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Considering how the voting has gone, Meyrl has more votes for Best Actress (around 3). Her BSA picks have her at 2. If this stays the same, Meyrl will get a nomination for Actress instead of BSA. Also, I should get done with the list today, and once riczhang and Numbers turn in the rest of their ballots we should be good to go.

Ezen Baklattan Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Nope. I just changed mine to BSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Well my ballot when done will have her in Actress, probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Freddy Zapper may be my first Production Design nod since Ready, Player One. Maybe I get into this category by making crazy comedies with fancy sets? Edited May 18, 2013 by Spaghetti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 She is BS. Same for Lawrence. I hope she doesn't get in for lead, because I will definitely put her at rank #5, whereas for BS I will rank her way higher. The only time it causes problem if she gets in for both, in that case the higher count wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her role in the film is quite underwritten. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 It may be, but she has as much screen timer as Meryl. Obviously the creator decides which category to push, but that might cost her the victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the creator decides which category to push, but that might cost her the victory. Don't care about screentime for Supporting Actress, care about depth, impact, and weight. JLAW's role in the film doesn't have much of those three things so I'm not nominating her. Comparing her role to Meryl's shows how little of those three things her character has in comparison to the mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
