forg Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Jenelle Riley @jenelleriley 3h SAG screening of August: Osage County--when title cards came up, biggest applause wasn't for Meryl or Julia, but Margo Martindale. Retweeted by Kristopher Tapley Margo is a well-respected character actress and has worked with lots of people when she won an EMMY for Justified, lots of people were cheering for her. So it's not a surprised that in SAG she would get the biggest response. Would love to see her nominated though but not holding my breath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Rome Film Festival: ‘Her’s Scarlett Johansson Named Best Actress For V.O. Performance, ‘Dallas Buyers Club,’ Matthew McConaughey Also Nab Awards The eighth Rome Film Festival closed last night and unveiled its winners naming Scarlett Johansson Best Actress for Spike Jonze’s Her, in which Johansson voices a Siri-like Operating System but doesn’t appear onscreen. That’s a nice early accolade for Warner Bros., which releases the romance in limited release December 18 before expanding in January. And it’s the first step in what Deadline’s Pete Hammond predicted could be a groundbreaking awards season coup for Johansson’s voice-over performance in the pic. Also nabbing top honors out of Rome were Kiyoshi Kurosawa, who won Best Director for Sebunsu kodo (Seventh Code), and Dallas Buyers Club, which landed Matthew McConaughey the Best Actor prize and also won the Audience Award. Scott Cooper’s Out of the Furnace was named best first or second feature. Scroll down for full winners: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'll believe a VO performance can get nominated for an Oscar when a VO performance gets nominated for an Oscar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'll believe a VO performance can get nominated for an Oscar when a VO performance gets nominated for an Oscar. I'm with you but the category is weak and she has received unanimous praise. This can't hurt either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I've said it multiple threads: If Peter O'Toole couldn't get nominated for a voice-over performance, no one can get nominated for a voice-over performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cairo Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I wouldn't mind Scarlett getting a nomination if she had been in the movie from the beginning instead of replacing Samantha Morton in the post-production. It was Samantha who was on the set, acting with Joaquin. It was her voice Joaquin is seen reacting to so it would feel cheating giving Johansson a nomination while totally ignoring Morton's work in building the character.

stripe Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Can't buy all this Scarlett talk. This category is not that weak. We have already two sure things (Lupita and Oprah), and a fierce fight of five strong actresses for the remaining three spots (Sarah Paulson, Margo Martindale, June Squibb, Octavia Spencer and Jennifer Lawrence). Behind are actrresses that will also get strong support (Lea Seydoux, Sally Hawkins, Julia Roberts...). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I don't think Paulson will happen. Is Harvey even campaigning for Margo Martindale ? I know he is campaigning for Julia Roberts but I am not sure about others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Well if Academy really loves the movie and Johannson's work in it (and they might just love it, the early reviews are sky high), I don't think Squibb, Martindale, Spencer or JLaw will be able to absolutely and necessarily stand in the way. I agree that Nyong'o and Oprah are pretty much locked, but anything can happen with the remaining three spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
