SLAM! Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) So I'd say it's pretty safe to say that Cynthia Erivo will be a major contender for playing Harriet Tubman. (I don't know how they haven't gotten the idea to make such a film yet.) Besides that, I don't know how this race is going to shake out, but I really want Alfre Woodard to get a nomination for the Sundance film Clemency. I don't have a reason for this other than that I think she would deserve it. The film doesn't have a distributor yet, but festival films get one eventually. I'm sure of that. A24 already has two excellent potential candidates in Awkafina and Honor Swinton-Byrne for The Farewell and The Souvenir, respectively. The problem: their release dates are rather hasty; The Farewell comes out in July, while The Souvenir comes out even sooner in May. Perplexing decisions from two of the best Sundance films. A24 also has Julianne Moore for Gloria Bell, but that also an early release. There are a BUNCH of biopics, notably Judy, which is about Judy Garland; it stars Renee Zellweger. So she's a likely candidate. There are many actors and actresses in Little Women and people might suggest that it is more of an ensemble piece, but I'm sure one of those actresses has a shot at getting an Actress nomination. Florence Pugh would especially benefit from one. Can't forget Amy Adams for The Woman in the Window, but the film sounds similar to stuff like Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train. If it's a brilliant film, she might have it. I get the feeling that this might be the weakest year for the actress category since 2014. That's all I can infer for now.

The Panda Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Lupita Nyongo is a good bet, idk about the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxOfficeFangrl Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Just saw the full Judy trailer with Renee Zellweger, unless the movie is terrible, she should be good for the nomination. Cynthia Erivo is playing Harriet Tubman in a biopic, it's a meaty role and she will EGOT if she wins, so she will campaign like crazy.

filmlover Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) Hollywood loves a comeback story and it's a meaty role so I think as long as the reviews for Judy are at least solid (as in My Week with Marilyn level) Renee should be good for a nomination provided everything goes right (not easy considering the late September release and the fact Roadside Attractions has been out of the race for years aside from Amazon titles they distributed - Manchester by the Sea, The Big Sick - but still). I'm certainly rooting for her. Edited July 9, 2019 by filmlover 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Atreides Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 At this point right now, unless The Farewell completely bombs in its expansion, Awkwafina has to have a great chance at a nomination here, right? Especially since I'm pretty sure Erivo and Ronan are the only "safe" options atm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since I'm pretty sure Erivo and Ronan are the only "safe" options atm Yeah, I think Awkwafina is in a great position to be recognized. She's quickly becoming a sort of it-girl in Hollywood and there's a huge push for diversity right now, so there's a lot of things in her narrative for a nomination that are acting in her favor. I'm not worried about the film's box office because Crazy Rich Asians proved that there is an audience for ensembles with a majority-Asian cast.

Little Women needs to be screened for the press first at least. Also, Scarlett will have Oscar buzz for Jojo Rabbit (Supporting) too.

filmlover Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Renee's getting some career best notices for Judy. I think she's in based on the comeback narrative alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valonqar Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Zelly and Scarjo are not missing with these reviews and narrative, comeback for Zelly and banner year + likely 2 picture nominees for Scarlett. That's 2 spots. Jury's out on whether Streep goes Lead or Supporting so see if third will be taken and only 2 left or 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
