Jack Nevada Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Fuck it, here's my stupid-early predictions Tom Hanks - Captain Phillips Chiwetel Eijiofor - 12 Years a Slave Robert Redford - All Is Lost Bruce Dern - Nebraska Oscar Isaac - Inside Llewyn Davis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Bruce Dern will winCrap, I forgot about him. Nebraska is going the Comedy route, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 After watching All Is Lost, I totally root for Redford in the race. Though I have yet to see other contenders like Mcconaughey, Leto, or Dern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChD Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Seeing Daniel Radcliffe even being considered for Best Actor nomination, despite it being too crowded, makes me happy. That man has a great career ahead of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 If Phoenix is in, I think Dern might be out. Or at least if he got snubbed it would surprise me less than if it happened to Redford, McConaughey or Hanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Eijiofor won't win, he's too young and tbh Hanks gave the better performance (not that Hanks will win either) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Ejiofor is 36 now... plenty of actors won in this category when they were in their late 30s or younger. Brody, Crowe, Cage, Hanks, DDL (when he won his first), William Hurt, De Niro, Nicholson (for Cuckoo's Nest), Richard Dreyfuss were all aged 29-39 at the time of winning. Age is not an obstacle.

Jake Gittes Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Redford I could see, Dern almost certainly not. Also, this may just be heat of the moment, but I think Phoenix could be something of a threat if the Academy gets really taken with HER and his performance in it is truly on the level of his best work. In general the combination of late release and huge early acclaim does give the movie that air of an underdog that enters the race late but ultimately shakes things up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forg Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I think Matthew will be the frontrunner. I hope Hanks win a couple of critics groups awards though and maybe SAG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieman Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 It's between Ejiofor and Redford. I don't see anyone else coming close to those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 It's between Ejiofor and Redford. I don't see anyone else coming close to those two. Pretty much. Between those two, I'd root for Redford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 You guys are counting one (or rather two from the same man) performance that hasn't been seen yet that could shake up the race: Christian Bale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
