fishstick Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 i`m pulling for Phoenix. Jackman as plan B. Please no DDL. I hope that "DDL wins, game over" attitude result in a backlash. He won 2 times and it isn`t like he`s so better than anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 It would be interesting to see if Michael Fassbender gets a nod for Prometheus. Critics were completely unaminous on his performance and hes even mentioned by name on the RT consensus. It may not happen due to the polarizing nature of the film itself though... and of course, being a science fiction film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Not as a Lead. He may sneak in Supporting where McConaughay looks better because he has the "Stick it" moment. Fassy, while great, doesn`t have a big showy moment that AMPAS falls for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 DDL wins, no contest. Thread over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 DDL wins, no contest. Thread over.I know I just did the same for Life of Pi in the Visual Effects thread but let's hold on here. Phoenix and Hawkes are going to provide very strong competition. Also, is the Academy ready to make him a three-time Oscar winner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix and Hawkes are going to provide very strong competition. Also, is the Academy ready to make him a three-time Oscar winner?Yes, because they aren`t known for spreading the wealth. They nominated and award the same people and one-hit wonders while leaving the whole bunch of great talents unawarded and empty-handed.However, if anyone can unseat DDL it`s Jackman. He`ll sing the iconic role, is a movie star with great charisma and if the movie is as good as trailer promises, I think he can sing his way to the top.

Webslinger Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Channing Tatum for Magic Mike. (Though seriously, it was a good performance.)It's still too early to call this race beyond a shadow of a doubt, but like just about everyone else, I think it will come down to Phoenix and Day-Lewis. I'm excited to see both performances when they hit screens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Something I was thinking about earlier is how a nomination for one of the acting cats has probably been released and has only made like 1M and nobody has heard of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Apparently Hyde Park on Hudson is getting tepid reviews at the Telluride Festival, so I am skeptical of Murray's chances now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) Lost In Translation was Murray's chance for an Oscar, I don't think he'll ever get close.1. DDL2. Phoenix3.
