riczhang Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 It is virtually impossible to predict anything in the Best Actress category. You won't find one person on this board who could've predicted even ONE 2012 nominee this time last year.That's because there was no Streep in a Drama or Bio-Pic last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 ^^^ I'll give you that but a lot of people were still sure that she was going to get a nomination for Hope Springs. I think Streep is always a threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Nope cant say for sure who saw wallis or riva a year ago Almost every actress who was a previous winner or nominee of the last 10-15 years, has an Oscar baity part in 2013. Winslet, Blanchett, Watts, Streep,Theron, Kidman, etc you name it, they will be all there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Nope cant say for sure who saw wallis or riva a year agoWallis had quite a few predictors after Sundance. I thought Riva might've had a fighting chance at a nom after Haneke won 2 Palme d'ors and people raved about her. But then I dismissed that as crazy. Never thought she'd actually get nominated and definitely not having a very good shot at winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Nope cant say for sure who saw wallis or riva a year ago Actually Wallis was the very first "Best Actress" contender I heard about out of this year's bunch. Entertainment sites/sources were talking about her last Spring already, several saying she could even be the frontrunner (although I knew that wouldn't happen).

riczhang Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Streep vs jlaw i hope it happens! I fear for the safety of the internet if that happens. IMDB, and ADF will literally blow up. Streep vs. Davis was bad enough, probably the most venom filled race of all time on record, but Streep vs. JLaw will be like the Mayan Apocalypse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 And ... this race is done. Meryl is taking it. Everybody can move on to Best Actress 2014 now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Ladies and Gentleman, that is how one actresses. :worthy: And I can't fucking believe ADF thinks Julia has a shot at winning. It's just so icky. 2 Time Oscar Winner Julia Roberts is something the world doesn't need. Hopefully Octavia can pull off a second win. I'd love to see that.
