Jake Gittes Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Tatum is going lead. If that's the case I can definitely see Ruffalo taking this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 ehh, i dunno about ruffalo winning. I'm sure he's great but it's a very quiet not-showy role, even in most of the reviews I've read they'll spend ages on carrell and tatum and end the paragraph with a "...and ruffalo's great too!" sure he'll be nominated though.

Jake Gittes Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'm just not sure who else it could be. Hawke or Norton would be cool but I can't see it, not at this point. J.K. Simmons' win would be his nomination. Maybe they'll all split the vote and Waltz will win his third which would be fucking hilarious, but I don't seriously believe that'll happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I think Roth and Gleeson, from early word/potential, might be good bets to at least get nominated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Why are so many of you predicting Depp? Like he has no chance and this is coming from like Into the Wood's biggest Stan. Depp has zero chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 If that's the case I can definitely see Ruffalo taking this.I think based on the competitiveness of the field, Tatum could very well go back to supporting. I actually wouldn't even pen him in for a non in leading atm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyla Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) If that's the case I can definitely see Ruffalo taking this. from your post to God's ears I think based on the competitiveness of the field, Tatum could very well go back to supporting. I actually wouldn't even pen him in for a non in leading atm. 1 of the main guys def will go supporting imo Edited October 8, 2014 by Tauriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 If this category is weak I could see Tyler Perry or NPH sneaking in, but they wouldn't be contenders for any win. That's also assuming the academy goes big for gone girl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Saw Whiplash yesterday and J. K. Simmons is fucking fantastic in it. Pretty sure a well-deserved nomination is coming his way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 JK can win. I think people are underestimating Whiplash in general. Got a good feeling about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I do believe there's a small chance it could pull a Winter's Bone / Kids Are All Right and get a Best Picture nod, plus maybe Original Screenplay. It's an excellent movie all around and the ending will make people float out of the theater. And yes, Simmons has as much of a chance to win as anyone else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 J. K. Simmons - Whiplash Ethan Hawke - Boyhood Edward Norton - Birdman Mark Ruffalo - Foxcatcher Can't decide on the fifth guy. Could be Waltz, Wilkinson, or Roth. Can't see anyone from Gone Girl here, though - both Perry and NPH are very good but the parts themselves don't really go beyond functional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahnamahna Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 J.K. Simmons Ethan Hawke Edward Norton Mark Ruffalo/Channing Tatum (can't decide between the two) someone from Unbroken Haven't seen any of these yet, but they're my guesses.

Im going tomorrow this film is like the most praised Ive tracked in a while. havent seen a single negative/mixed tweet from LFF for example Edited October 22, 2014 by Tauriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 John Goodman deserves a nomination just for saying "fuck you" to Mark Wahlberg several times in less than a minute. Seriously though, he looks like one badass motherfucker in The Gambler trailer, definitely gets your attention. I hope he got some good material to work with.

CoolioD1 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Ethan Hawke, Ed Norton, Mark Ruffalo, JK Simmons, Christoph Waltz. Seems a little thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) Tatum is still here, right? The lead category is so packed he has little to no chance to be nominated there, but based on reviews he could get in supporting pretty easily. I'm even happier that Simmons is the frontrunner here after reading that some producers only wanted Kevin Spacey, Kevin Costner or Kevin Kline in the role, after which Damien Chazelle ditched them and went looking for money elsewhere. Not to say the Kevins wouldn't have been interesting, but Simmons owns the role and deserves the Oscar so much.
