CoolioD1 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Meryl? The new trailer for The Iron Lady is awful... she'll win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I agree, Iron Lady looks like a Razzie campfest. Mommy Dearest 2. So I expect the battle of terrible performances and accents - Streep vs Knightley. Everyone else looks too normal to attract as much attention as these two.

Impact Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Well the hottest seems to have won in the past 3 years in a row (Its not always true though as Swank and Miren did beat Winslett ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Oh, good, cause neither is the hottest. Charlize and Rooney are vying for that title among nominees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlize and Rooney are vying for that title among nominees.Or Elizabeth Olsen is nice to look at. Not a twig like those other Olsen sisters. And Olsen might be the "unknown actress from a Sundance film" this year. Since we had J. Lawrence and Precious in previous years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Olsen might be the "unknown actress from a Sundance film" this year. Since we had J. Lawrence and Precious in previous years. Felicity Jones could compete with her for that nom for Like Crazy. Other possible noms include Tilda Swinton (We Need to Talk About Kevin), Glenn Close (Albert Nobbs), Olivia Colman (Tyrannosaur), and of course Michelle Williams (My Week with Marilyn). If The Iron Lady is as bad as the trailers suggest, then Streep is out and things get interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 But Like Crazy hasn't been as loved as MMMM. In fact some people HATE the movie and Felicity's character. Or they could both get nominated. Happened with Carey Mulligan and Precious. Though I doubt it, it'll be lucky for one of them to get in.And Meryl can never be counted out. Even if the movie gets the shit panned out of it it's still Meryl Streep playing Maggie Thatcher. I might even go as far as to lock her in for a nom.

fishstick Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 She could be sitting in a chair the entire film and they nominate her.True that. I`m sure there will be a pressure to nominate her because it`s Meryl playing the Iron Lady. However, KK is still the biggest bait since The Reader:a) KK. Her role has everything that AMPAS falls in love with: mental illness, fake accent, scenery swallowing, nudity, period drama, real person, Jewish person. This is the one to beat. Meryl. Yes, it`s Meryl playing iconic controversial person while swallowing scenery in a fake accesnt like she`ll never eat again. But take a look at KK bait points and you`ll see Iron Lady falls short.Of never nominated before ingenue, Felicity Jones is the weakest. Olsen or Mara or both (if Meryl`s a turkey) will get in over her.Viola Davies is suffering from Blid Side backlash as many see The Help as BS Lite. Should snag a nom but forget about showdown.Michelle Williams is most likely to emerge as one of competing front-runners. Multiple nominee playing an iconic real person.

CoolioD1 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 Early reviews on IL are pretty much the same as J Edgar. Film is a mess but lead is really quite exceptional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Streep will obviously get nominated but I doubt she wins. The trailer for Iron Lady was just so terrible I can't see it happening. Sounds like Viola Davis has all the buzz right now, like she's had for months.

Impact Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I'm still disapointed that Iron Lady had nothing to do about Mrs. Iron Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 That would be Gwynneth Paltrow. I assume Pepper marries Tony sometimes in the comic books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Iron Lady had a screening yesterday, Jeff Wells wasn't invited, incessant bitching and moaning ensues. LOL what a baby.http://hollywood-elsewhere.com/2011/11/not_this_time_1.phpJust posting it here because I don't know where else I can make fun of Jeff Wells..

CoolioD1 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 LOL! I remember during his podcast with Sasha Stone and he was bitching about not beig invited to a few other screenings. "They must have just forgot about me. Or misplaced my invitation. That's gotta be it, right?"Anyway. PREDICTIONS:Glenn Close - Albert NobbsViola Davis - The HelpRooney Mara - The Girl With The Dragon TattooMeryl Streep - The Iron LadyCharlize Theron - Young Adult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) I just do not understand why Davis gets all the praise and Emma Stone's performance is totally overlooked. I found both performances equally strong. I have a feeling that the quality of The Iron Lady will destroy Meryl's chances for the third statue. I have high hopes for Michelle Williams.

Travod Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Let's get more Rooney Mara up in this place. I'm feeling Black Swan but BETTER x1,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
