filmlover Posted March 14, 2023 Author Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) Obviously nothing is a lock a year in advance, but unless the movie is a disaster, this has to be Bradley Cooper's to lose, right? The first images of him in Maestro are serving the same vibes as the first pictures of DDL in Lincoln, and the movie is already an early frontrunner for Makeup (a surprisingly helpful win for the acting categories at the most recent ceremonies). Searchlight picking up Magazine Dreams is great news for Jonathan Majors. Clearly having a star moment right now. Oppenheimer is looking to be Nolan's first actual acting showcase in a while, so Cillian Murphy seems like a good bet for a nomination provided the movie lives up to the hype.

Considering it's Bradley casting himself as a legendary gay Jewish composer/conducter when he is neither Jewish nor gay, there are going to be a lot of people taking issue with that around release time. The discontent some had about Berg's casting for his parents is gonna be small potatoes in comparison Edited March 14, 2023 by 4815162342 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discontent some had about Berg's casting for his parents is gonna be small potatoes in comparison There was already controversy of sorts when the first photos were released (re: the fake nose) so I feel like they're already planning to tackle that when the time comes. As long as the movie (and his performance) delivers, I doubt voters are gonna care. We've already know they have no problem shrugging off controversy/mudslinging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me crazy but hear me out... I have a feeling that Majors will have a nomination for best actor and best supporting actor. The supporting nom will be for creed 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted March 20, 2023 Author Share Posted March 20, 2023 If Oppenheimer ends up a Top 5 contender I think one of its actors is bound to get in and Murphy looks to have the biggest role out of everyone (SAG will likely go nuts for it as a historical drama with that bonkers ensemble). But it all depends on the movie and the competition for however remaining spots there are. Leo and BCoop are the only contenders in this category at the moment whose films would have to completely flop in order to miss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think actors will pass on this and it's more likely to be embraced for its technicals instead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember they nominate House of Gucci and BR for best ensemble cast? And Trial of Chicago 7 did won with almost all white-male cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gucci had a bunch of A-listers do funny accents and wear transformative makeup Trial of Chicago 7 was a Sorkin film and his roles are catnip for actors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cilian Murphy is a clear lead in a film that all of the voters are going to see, and he has a narrative of having never been nominated before. This is Universal’s first time distributing a Nolan film and they know better than to just not campaign Murphy. He’s at least a top ten candidate.

That's Nolan's only acting nomination/win, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalo Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) After Seeing GOTG VOL3. it is really making me think they academy needs to get with the times and add a voice/motion capture performance category. Bradley Cooper did just an incredible Job as Rocket. really deserves some recognition for that imo. Edited May 7, 2023 by Kalo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
