JackO Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 The Academy should respond to it. I would certainly put her in before Watts or Weisz.Yeah, respond negatively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Yeah, respond negativelyAnd according to Thompson, Cotillard is the foreign actress in a foreign film and industry responds positively to both her perf and the movie itself. Which isn`t the case with Riva movie.When movies are small, actors need love for the movie to get in. Just love for perforemnce isn`t enough.

riczhang Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I'd like to know what makes Riva a lock other then fanboyism? Now, that's putting words in my mouth. I've never said she's a lock. I'm predicting her because: [*]She's in a Critically Acclaimed film that's on almost all top 10 lists, and is in arguably the most critically acclaimed performance of the year. For a film like Amour critics matter because it'll raise its profile high enough that voters see the film [*]The category including her has perhaps 9 contenders, and 8 really legitimate ones. It's a weak category [*]Even people who haven't connected with the film aren't denying Riva's greatness in performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Wow! LA went boring and safe. Don't see how Amour can get to bigger categories if critics aren't even helping out.Well, damn if they do it damn if they don`t. At least they didn`t go more boring and safer with Kushner/Boal wins.

JackO Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Now, that's putting words in my mouth. I've never said she's a lock.

riczhang Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) Is that why she has won a total of one critic award?She's gonna go 3 for 3 today, which is more than anyone else can say about themselves. Evidently you can't count and should go back to school to take a lesson in basic mathematics. Just because you don't think one group doesn't count doesn't mean that she didn't win.

riczhang Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 And it's Lavant vs DDL vs. Pheonix for Actor. If LA goes for DDL I'll loose all respect I have for them. You have 2 paramountly more interesting performances and you go for boring old caricatures, however brilliantly done it may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
