Blankments Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 With Leo and Carell leaving, and Prisoners doing well, I'm gonna say Jackman's chances are actually better than most people here are saying (I haven't seen Prisoners yet though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) It's not gonna be. Marty doesn't have time to cut it anymore and even if he did, it'd be finished too late for a FYC campaign. He's obligated to go jury for 2 weeks at some festival in November. I misread this and thought he had jury duty for a moment With Leo and Carell leaving, and Prisoners doing well, I'm gonna say Jackman's chances are actually better than most people here are saying (I haven't seen Prisoners yet though) I wonder why it got delayed?

He has a much better chance to get one of the last couple spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Okay that be amusing if the nominees are: Redford (Captain America 2) Jackman (Wolverine) and the Gatekeeper from Thor (whose name escapes me) are all nominated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Now that the category got pretty much cleared up, we can assume Hanks has a spot assured in this. Reviews praise his performance in Cpt. Phillips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Wait Bruce Dern is lead now? When I predicted him months ago people said he was supporting. He is a lead. He ruled out supporting nomination at the Telluride festival. The thinking is that, because he is an older veteran actor, he could instantly become a frontrunner in the supporting category (like Christopher Plummer in Beginners or James Coburn in Affliction). Whereas the Lead Actor race is overcrowded and he could be squeezed out of even a nomination.Dern is aware of the Internet chatter but completely dismisses it. “I don’t know why they are saying that. I suppose they could take a stopwatch and say someone else has one minute and 45 seconds more screen time than I do so that makes me supporting. But I say ‘get the f**k out of here’,” he told me at Thursday’s opening picnic. http://www.deadline.com/2013/08/telluride-nebraskas-bruce-dern-doesnt-mince-words-on-why-he-isnt-supporting-anyone/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 He's right. Having seen Nebraska, there's no fucking way he isn't the lead character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Thanks guys-I thought he was the lead-but other people said otherwise. You know-the ones who seem to be placed too much as supporting are kid actors/actresses. Apparently Lions was worried that the girl from Whale Rider was going to be put as supporting so they had a massive campaign to put her as the lead.

Leyla Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I hope Carell can get a nom next year really crossing fingers. Hopefully Fc can get some festivals next year & be released like in September. With the kind of amazing comments abt him would be a shame if he isnt considered in 2014 yeah Hanks really becomes more & more likely here He's right. Having seen Nebraska, there's no fucking way he isn't the lead character. did u like it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I loved Nebraska. Incredibly touching movie. Still think Election is Payne's best, but if we're talking his comic dramas, Nebraska is definitely on the level of About Schmidt and Sideways (I still haven't seen The Descendants), in some ways it's even better due to B&W cinematography and no Hollywood charisma (which Nicholson couldn't entirely hide no matter how hard he tried) - it feels more lived-in and intimate. Just a wonderful old-fashioned drama/comedy that has a lot to say about old age, mortality and missed opportunities without explicitly stating it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I'd like to see Michael B Jordan nominated. I totally didn't realize that was Wallace from The Wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Is it me, or this looks almost closed to any surprise with the top five being Dern, Redford, Ejiofor, Hanks and McConaughey? Only other contenders are Bale (still no buzz), Whitaker (the praise is not on him), B Jordan (too early contender?), Jackman (film buzz will be surely buried with Gravity & Captain Phillips) & Phoenix (don't see this happening).

Those four look like near-locks to me. Still unsure about Dern. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he got in, but neither would I if he got kicked out by any of the other five guys you mention.

Sam Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 So out of the near-locks, who has the best chance at winning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hanks wins lead and supporting-first time anyone has done that in one year! Okay maybe not-but you never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I'd love Redford to win, but I wouldn't be surprised if Ejiofor rides the momentum all the way to that stage. McConaughey's win would be his nomination, and Hanks' win would be his first nomination in 13 years. 1. Ejiofor 2. Redford 3. McConaughey 4. Hanks 5. Whoever is the fifth nominee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I love Alexander's Payne movies. They put me to sleep pretty quickly. Very soothing. He is very good at what he does this Payne guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
