Ezen Baklattan Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 If The Hundred Foot Journey ends up not being just for old people and turns into a mini breakout, Mirren may have a shot at a nomination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'm currently 75% into Gone Girl and if Pike does the character justice I think she needs to be considered a shoe-in for a nom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'm currently 75% into Gone Girl and if Pike does the character justice I think she needs to be considered a shoe-in for a nom. I agree with this. I couldn't imagine anyone else in her role. I have to say, all characters seemed to be well cast. Even Tyler Perry's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Perry is the only one who still seems strange to me. I couldn't help but imagine McConaughey while reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webslinger Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Perry is the only one who still seems strange to me. I couldn't help but imagine McConaughey while reading. Same here! It makes sense considering that he's played a lawyer at least three times (A Time to Kill, Amistad, The Lincoln Lawyer). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyla Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'd love for Jessica Chastain to get in but imo both movies are too small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Chastain will get hers along the road no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Witherspoon, Adams and Pike do seem like the only contenders with real chance here. I actually wouldn't mind Pike winning if she does the character justice. I doubt I can get behind Adams losing to Witherspoon though.

The Panda Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I don't think Streep will be classified as Best Actress, more likely supporting. I'm really cheering for Woodley to get in though, after re-watching TFiOS it is fairly clear that just because it has a YA label doesn't mean the movie is exactly what would normally score big at the Oscars. Woodley's performance in particular is definitely worth a nomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilderic Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Felicity Jones is getting great reviews (which mention she's lead) for The Theory of Everything, together with Redmayne and the movie as a whole. She may have a chance, especially with what looks like a very empty category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I just hope lazy AMPAS won t nominate Meryl playing a witch.Enough is enough.It s nothing personal but come on. The Witch can be a fairly showy role, if Meryl deserves it nominate her, if she doesn't don't. I hate when these are the most popular phrases mentioned when talking about Oscars, "This person should get nominated for X movie because they're overdue" "X should get a nom because they're X" "Don't nominate X, they've been nominated enough, give somebody else a chance." Ideally it should be about who does their job the best for that particular film, not if they got robbed in the past or if they have won to many Oscars. Now when predicting obviously these do unfortunately take into account on who is more likely to win, but it doesn't mean we should give into that way of thinking when talking about who should or shouldn't be nominated.

Maybe she ll do a great witch in Into the Woods but 19th nom ? Really ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Moore seems to have a more baity role and let us face it she deserved to win for PTA's Boogie Nights. Not many actresses would've been able to pull that role off. Meryl is Meryl so you can't write her off but she has been nominated so many times and has won so many times that I don't think she will have a real chance this year. It will be either Moore or another actress not named Meryl Streep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 So now it looks like it could be Moore vs Adams vs Pike. I doubt Witherspoon has any serious chance to win anymore. And I guess the fifth slot will go to either Felicity Jones or Chastain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
