Jake Gittes Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Looks like this category is getting a bit stronger. Michael B. Jordan and SLJ are both possibilities, and those early whispers that Ramirez is co-lead in Joy and good enough for a nom might yet prove true, who knows. At least it's not just four people anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I still don't see how Fassbender loses this unless he's somehow snubbed. Damon is great but not a winning performance and Leo has a more physical performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Even if Di Caprio's performance is short on standard big Oscar moments, the fact that he spent a year shooting the movie in hard conditions could definitely be his advantage.

If breaking a glass with his bare hands in Django wasn't enough to get him nominated, I doubt the conditions will be enough for him to win.

TStechnij Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Apparently Ramirez being colead is wrong. He isn't getting a push either, I don't see him happening. Also, this is so Leo's to lose. It'll be a career award. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) He are my predictions: 1. Michael Fassbender 2. Leonardo DiCaprio 3. Samuel L. Jackson 4. Matt Damon 5. Michael B. Jordan I am not great at predicting Oscar nominations, so I doubt this will actually be the 5.

I'd say the last two spots are between Redmayne, Jackson, Smith, and Jordan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfHan Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Every expert on Gold Derby except Peter Travers (Fassbender) is predicting Leo to win, wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Yeah thinking leo has it in the bag. any other year he wouldn't but the alternatives aren't fully there this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, if only because of the July release and the shaky reviews. If the Weinsteins had released it in November or December, his chances would be significantly stronger. Honestly, Gyllenhaal has had such an awesome run in the last two years that I feel like at least a few nominations - if not a win, as well - have to be coming up soon.

I would put Gyllenhal and Fiennes over any of the 5 who got nominated. So yeah, Fiennes was amazing too.

CoolioD1 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I don't think he's ever been the best of the nominees any of the times he lost. so i've never got people acting like he's the new peter o'toole. I guess it's because he does capital A LOOK AT ME ACTING and he works with a lot of cool directors that people like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I feel like the thing with Di Caprio is that he's a movie star who almost always tries to be method and disappear into his characters, and it rarely works out 100% because you always remember you're watching Di Caprio. But that doesn't mean he can't give an Oscar-worthy performance; I really think he should have won for Wolf because that was the greatest blend of his movie star charisma and the character on the page. His caps lock intensity and desire for showmanship fit Belfort perfectly, he sold the fuck out of every moment without overdoing it, and for the first time in years I never felt distracted by the fact that I knew I was watching Di Caprio act. It felt like he wasn't trying to fight it. IDK how much sense that makes but that's how I explained it to myself. I'm already doubting he'll be deserving in The Revenant after I saw Vishnevetsky on the AV Club (one of the few remaining critics I really trust) talking about how Glass isn't really a character, the movie keeps trying to get inside his head but there's barely any depth to him, so the physical part of the performance and the suffering is basically the only thing that's left.

CoolioD1 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) wolf is probs his best performance but for sure I thought Chiwetel should've won that year. I thought he was a lock until mcconaughey started running through everything. Edited December 8, 2015 by CoolioD1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
