Joel M Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I think people when it comes to awards get a little to hang up on "dissapearing into the character" and stuff like that. It's one of the reasons we 've got so many winners with heavy makeup, weight loss playing ill, crippled geniuses. NICOLE KIDMAN WITH A NEW NOSE! OMG I DIDN'T RECOGNISE HER etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) New predictions: Locks: 1. Leonardo DiCaprio 2. Michael Fassbender Very Likely: 3. Matt Damon Likely: 4. Eddie Redmayne Even without a SAG nomination Damon is still probably in, The Martian will have a lot of support and it's hard to imagine he misses. Redmayne looks likelier and likelier every day. The last spot: 5. Samuel L Jackson 6. Bryan Cranston 7. Johnny Depp 8. Steve Carell All four have pros and cons: Jackson: Pros: The Hateful Eight is looking to be a big hit and he hasn't gotten a nomination in over 20 years. Con: Voters might not consider him the standout. Cranston: Pros: He has a SAG nomination and actors like Trumbo Con: The movie doesn't have the best reviews. Depp: Pros: He got a SAG nomination and loses himself into the role. Cons: Black Mass won't get any other nominations outside of maybe Makeup and Depp's chances were fading until today. Carell: Pro: The Big Short is a movie actors like. Con: No SAG nomination. Edited December 9, 2015 by WrathOfHan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 For some reason I completely forgot about Fassbender-I was trying to remember who the other likely nom was and he slipped from my brain! For now: 1. DiCaprio 2. Damon 3. Fassbender 4. Redmayne 5. Cranston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Cranston is picking up momentum, and Depp has maintained his. I think Fassbender will end up getting snubbed in a total SJ shut out (Big Short knocks it out of screenplay and Mirren knocks Winslet out of supporting).

stripe Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Can't see Steve Jobs completely snubbed: actor is very likely, supporting actress is almost locked, score and screenplay are likely. And editing and BP are still possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think it has Actor, Supp. Actress and Adapted noms in the bag, but outside of that nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Would be odd to see Winslet get nomination or win, given that it's not even her second best performance this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webslinger Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Winslet is definitely going to be nominated. The acting branch will still embrace the film, box office failure be damned. A win would be a more difficult proposition, though, especially if category fraud lands Alicia Vikander and/or Rooney Mara in supporting rather than lead. As for Fassbender in this category: I wouldn't say that he's locked, but unless he racks up some major precursor snubs, I would be surprised to see him miss the lineup. Even with his reluctance to campaign, it's an acclaimed biographical performance, and that stuff is practically catnip for the acting branch.
