filmlover Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Putting Adams in Supporting would've been silly. This isn't an Alicia Vikander/Rooney Mara situation where the fraud was considered acceptable because "they're not famous enough." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Watch Other People, I smell an Oscar snub coming for Molly Shannon, she's fantastic in it, as is Jesse Plemons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 This is shaping up to be the most boring category of the year at the moment. Davis, Harris, Williams, Kidman, and Spencer look like the set five, and Davis looks like a clear winner. Only surprise could be Gerwig sneaking in.

I'm pretty sure that's Best Actor. There's nothing beyond Affleck/Garfield/Gosling/Mortensen/Washington that could break through (sorry @WrathOfHan, but a nuclear bomb dropping is more likely than Chris Pine sneaking in).

Jake Gittes Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Best Actor should at least give us an atypical winner in Affleck, this is basically just gonna be, "OK, Viola Davis has an Oscar now. Moving on..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxmatrixdt Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Michelle Williams was really good but she was not even in Manchester by the Sea that much. Nicole Kidman was not in Lion that much and she was good, but I am not sure she will get in... I think it would be fair to put Viola Davis in the supporting actress category. I have seen all 3 of these movies so far. Not sure yet what to make of Hidden Figures. It seems the movie revolves around Octavia Spencer's character so i don't know why she would be here for supporting actress..

Because michelle williams has won so many recent awards naw i still think Viola got it. some performances get less critical traction but are the type of roles that do better w/ oscars. 4 example octavia spencer barely won any critics awards, i think they all went to jessica chastain that year, but when the tv awards like the globes and SAG came around octavia started sweeping. so we should know for sure if viola got it tonight w/ the globes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a quick look back at 2011 (not exhaustive, just looking at more major precursors: Spencer: Globes, BAFTA, BFCA, SAG, DC Film Critics Chastain: Chicago Critics (for Tree of Life), LA Critics (for 6 films combined), National Society of Film Critics (combined for Take Shelter, Tree of Life, The Help), New York Critics (combined for Take Shelter, Tree of Life, The Help), Online Film Critics Society (for Tree of Life), Satellite Awards (Tree of Life), Toronto Critics (for Take Shelter) Yeah, Chastain had a big presence in early precursors, but she got hamstrung because LA and NY basically gave her a cumulative award, which hurt going for any particular movie to push. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 whether you think she's lead or not i'm glad this became the viola davis category. if not for her it probably would be naomie harris vs. michelle williams and i just watched both movies the last couple days. overall as films they're exceptional but harris and williams are NOT GOOD. Capital A acting in two movies with very naturalistic ensembles. williams is fine until her "moment" that all the critics love. she looked like she was trying to make her self cry. even in viola's theatricality (which actually fits the tone of the picture she's in) she finds subtler notes than both of them.

BirdMan Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Viola Davis deserves the oscar for she was a beast in that role but also to be fair she did have a lot of space to do that compared to the others , she is practically lead actress nominated for supporting , like Vikander last year the academy needs some rules to prevent such cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
