4815162342 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Emma was good, but nothing that special. Not the best cinematic leading redhead this year. Or second-best. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 i can't remember the last time someone won an oscar for a part so surface level. (all the other contenders much more layered. even streep shows glimpses of sadness, regret and self-awareness to go underneath her goofy comic relief character) probably anne hathaway in les mis. it's these damn show tunes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Amy Adams in Arrival is beyond words. One of my favourite performances ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I know it's an opinion that's in the minority, but I thought Meryl Streep did a wonderful job in Florence Foster Jenkins and really does deserve this nomination. It must have been hard to deliberately sing bad and off key! If I had actually seen Arrival then I probably would have liked Amy Adams's performance as well. I wanted to and I almost did but I just couldn't get to it in time! Emma Stone in La La Land was great too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Until you guys see Jackie, you don't know how good Portman is. She should have cleaned up this year. Stone didn't even deserve a nomination and to think she is going to win is just ludicrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I wasn't crazy about the movie overall (even though I still liked it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's getting carried along by the production values. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valonqar Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Portman's in an iconic but unlikable role vs Stone super likable one. It's Blanchett (Elizabeth) vs Paltrow (SIL) all over except that Portman already has the Oscar so that's an added strike against her. However, it's critics who gave her GOAT reviews only to sweep vote for Huppert that really let her down. based on reviews and TIFF hype, she seemed poised to win every critical award...and that's what Huppert did. Which is why some think Huppert could upset at the 11th hour (GG win + bucketload of important critics awards). I don't see it because this strikes me as the repeat of JLaw vs Riva, who was never a real challengers but you know what people are like when the race is over, invent fantasy threats to status quo to kill time.

Incarnadine Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 The betting sites all have Emma dominating in the 1/4 to 1/5 range. Portman in second is almost universally listed as 4/1. I really want Emma to win but I'm tempted to throw a few bucks on Streep at 80/1. http://www.oddschecker.com/awards/oscars/best-actress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
