TLK Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Obviously I have not seen any of the leading performances this year but I have a tough time seeing Amy Adams win for American Hustle. The movie seems to be a Christian Bale show with good supporting roles for Cooper, Renner and Lawrence. I don't think Amy Adams will have enough juice to take on Bullock , Cate Blanchett and others this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 I want Amy Adams to set a new record for most noms without a win. Well I did mention a few posts above that Thelma Ritter did have 6 noms with no wins. (Of course Randy Newman had to wait 18 noms before winning) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Actually, Amy Adams has signed on to a really good role in Big Eyes. That's the sort of role that can win her an Oscar next year as long as she can hold her own against Christoph Waltz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the sort of role that can win her an Oscar next year as long as she can hold her own against Christoph Waltz. And she's got that Janis Joplin biopic coming soon. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if she wins an Oscar within the next 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 It would be more epic if she breaks Thelma Ritter's record for most noms without wins and THEN go on to win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 But how, HOW could the Academy possibly award Winfrey over Lupita Nyong'o's performance in 12 Years a Slave? They simply can't, at least not without hanging their head in shame. Nyong'o doesn't have the same name recognition as Oprah, but if you were to compare the two performances it's quite obvious, to me at least, who gives the better performance. In fact, I don't know how Oprah could campaign against Nyong'o and hold her head high. Winfrey could walk around and accept whatever kudos and adulation fall upon her shoulders, but to actively campaign for an Oscar, claiming acting superiority would be rather naive. http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/2014-oscar-predictions-best-supporting-actress-winfrey-nyongo-butler-12-years-a-slave/ That's some passion.

Ozymandias Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I'll probably never see The Butler, but lets be real here, does Oprah really deserve to be nominated for and/or win an Oscar this year or is she just mostly surfing on her power, royalty, and name?

PatrickvD Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Oprah was an Oscar nominee before she become a celebrity and 'spiritual guru'. Her TV show may have been just a talk show, it was, truly, the performance of a lifetime. Oprah is an actress. Through and through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Right now I see Diaz winning. Her movie hasn’t been reviewed yet, and she doesn't look amazing based off the clips. I think she’ll be lucky to get nominated personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ainsleyb Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Oprah is good in The Butler but it's nowhere near an Academy Award winning performance. If this year is strong for supporting characters then she could easily miss out on a nomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
