RichWS Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 They've shown in the past that they'll nominate notable child performances. The SAG snub will hurt, but it's not a terribly competitive category this year. I think the film's passionate fans will get her in. We shall see...

We shall see...I think that it seemed like a weak ass year a few months ago but now I'd probably say it's stronger than something like 2009.

RichWS Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Hailee steinfeld?And she was nominated! The Academy will go for the great child performance. I know True Grit was a nomination powerhouse but Beasts has its fans. I'm not even thinking about a win for Wallis, just a nomination.

I don't think that Wallis will get to the number needs for a nomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I just realized we have another two months to debate this it's gonna be a very interesting 2 months. If Wallis gets GG, I'll predict her. Still holding out for Streep, I think SAG for her is a lock, and I think that her built in worshippers faction in the academy will pull her through to nomination #18 as a prelude to Oscar #4 next year for August: Osage County. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackO Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Took out Wallis for Mirren. When not even Jeff Wells can support you it is time to jump ship. LawrenceKnightleyChastainCottliardMirren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacquelinejane Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Knightley is not going to get nominated. No way. She didn't get the buzz she needed in order to be a viable contender, so it's not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 he is serious. Her buzz is OK but nothing spectacular. She isn`t getting the best reviews of her career that`s for sure and eveyrone pretty much says that costumes steal the movie. if she gets in, it`ll be ebcause the year is weak in this field. BTW, David Edelstein is my new hero. he nailed Kk`s shorcomings to a T: http://nymag.com/movies/reviews/edelstein-anna-karenina-2012-11/ Knightley works very hard to portray Anna as a woman who has never felt romantic love and once she does flaunts it openly, naïvely thinking there will be no repercussions. But she’s almost neurotically overeager, champing at the bit to do a Lucia di Lammermoor madwoman turn, never establishing a plane of normalcy. Knightley might be the most effortful leading actress in movies. When her Anna becomes possessive of Vronsky, she squints her eyes and works her big jaw, her fanged upper teeth threatening to swallow the camera. This very lovely young woman becomes hard to look at—there’s nothing to discover in her face because she’s too much in ours.She`s trying way too hard. That`s never a good thing.

JackO Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 That's a mean review! Right now she is 3rd on Gold Deby odds, (I dont count girl from Beasts). The reviews about her came about in Toronto and not much has changed since then. Keira Knightley as Anna is supremely brilliant. Full Review | Comment | Original Score: 3/5 Keira Knightley when lit like this, is a screen goddess. Full Review | Comment | Original Score: 3/5 Knightley, resplendent in exaggerated furs and art-directed lace veils, has never looked more like an honest-to-goodness movie star. Full Review | Comment | Original Score: 3/5 The film may be D.O.A. but her Oscar campaign is definitely isnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Karenina is looking bombworthy too.I hear it wasn't too bad. Predictions are right now:1. Riva2. Lawrence3. Mirren4. Knightley5. ChastainI'm taking Streep out because Sony's not sending out screeners for Hope Springs. So if Streep ends up making the list it'll only be a testament to how big her built-in Academy fanbase is.

fishstick Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Karenina is looking bombworthy too.Because it looks like something that tries too hard to be baity and edgy at the same time. How cna you be edgy with the story about some stupid bitch who wrecks her marriage, get dumped by everyone including her boyfriend and than jumps under the train? You can`t. Even stage-like production can`t save this drivel from being an oldfashioned drivel nobody reads anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even stage-like production can`t save this drivel from being an oldfashioned drivel nobody reads anymore. Even Wells' is slowly jumping off the ship. I know what's going on with the great Anna Karenina. I'm not stupid. It has a69% Rotten Tomatoes rating -- two-thirds admiring but with guys like David Edelstein, for one, calling it "as boldly original a miscalculation as any you're likely to see." I can hear the distant shouts of an unhappy mob as we few, we stalwart few, clean our flintlocks and await the inevitable. But at least Hitfix'sDrew McWeeny is a thumbs-upper, and he states his case clearly. But Kiera isn't going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
