Crowe was better in The Insider, sure, but I'd say his Maximus is still one of the best star turns of the 2000s. People loved it, and it remains well-remembered today. I still haven't seen anyone rave about Keaton in Spotlight. I'm sure he's fine, but if he wins, I don't even know how they'll be able to pretend that he did it for any reason other than his Birdman snub.

I'll have to mull that over... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I don't know, with Stallone, I feel like a nom would be a win. Unless Creed makes breaks out and makes 100M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I could see Stallone taking this if he really is that good. So far it doesn't look like a race where one person overshadows everyone else, so he's got a fair chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 So let's say Stallone, Rylance, De Niro, either Keaton or Ruffalo for the #4 spot and Del Toro, Hardy or someone from The Hateful Eight for the #5 spot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 If Spotlight sweeps Keaton or Ruffalo will prevail, but this category is really unpredictable as of now. Would be great to see Sly winning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I am very confident that Ruffalo, Rylance and Tremblay will be nommed. Aside of the great performances, they have other strong things on its side. Ruffalo has timing, BP contender, and he is a co-lead; Rylance is well respected, he is in a BP contender and he is the mvp of the movie; Tremblay is co-lead and a kid. They love to reward kids that give a resonant dramatic performance. The other two spots are crazy to predict. Del Toro, Stallone, Elba, Hardy, Daniels, L Jackson, De Niro, Keaton, Russell... Who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhawk the Hutt Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) I think Stallone is a lock to be nominated at this point, his performance is just great, and he's getting recognized for it.

WrathOfHan Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Number of experts predicting a win/nomination on Gold Derby: Michael Keaton: 7/19 (down 2 wins, down 1 nom) Mark Ruffalo: 7/15 (up 4 wins, up 1 nom) Mark Rylance: 2/17 (down 2 noms) Tom Hardy: 2/9 (up 1 nom) Paul Dano: 2/7 (down 1 nom) Idris Elba: 1/16 (down 2 wins, down 2 noms) Sylvester Stallone: 0/5 (new) Jacob Tremblay: 0/5 (up 1 nom) Benicio Del Toro: 0/3 (down 1 nom) Robert De Niro: 0/2 (down 1 nom) Joel Edgerton: 0/2 (down 3 noms) Christian Bale: 0/1 (new) Jason Mitchell: 0/1 (flat) Jason Segel: 0/1 (flat) Jason Statham: 0/1 (fucking Keith) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tau Ceti Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 The Spotlight ensemble was as good as everything I'd heard. I don't think the movie has a badly acted part. But I'm still not convinced about either of the two nominees here. Ruffalo needed to be toned down just a smidge IMO, while Keaton's performance was capable but not best of the year of calibre. I'll take Rylance over both for now and have yet to see Stallone. One interesting note: if Spotlight weren't already crowding the category, Liev Schreiber could get consideration. I thought he did a brilliant job as the quiet outsider with moral force in this movie. It was a small role but very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Just saw Creed. holy shit Sylvester Stallone is getting nominated! very strong chance of winning imo. still very interested to see what Hardy can do for Revenant though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
