It’s between Pacino and Denzel. Denzel securing his 9th nom for ‘The Tragedy of Macbeth’ seems more than likely. It will come down to Pacino and ‘Gucci’ and how meaty his role is. The King Lear project is still in development I think, so no telling when that actually comes into fruition.

King Lear probably ends up being a tv movie.
ReplyCopy URLI really think it won’t be that hard for Blanchett. She’s only 3 away, relatively young (51) and has as much public adoration and goodwill within the industry as she’s ever had. She has a slew of interesting projects in the works so her time could come closer than we think.

Best Actress: Viola Davis (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom)
Best Actor: Anthony Hopkins (The Father)
Best Supporting Actress: Ellen Burstyn (Pieces of a Woman)
Best Supporting Actor: Leslie Odom Jr. (One Night in Miami)I have to go with Blanchett. She seems to be on the verge of having a potentially even better career than Streep in terms of prestige and Oscar bait roles and in fact even though she’s doing television as well I feel like that’s not going to be her main focus like it is with Witherspoon and she’ll be getting roles that Nicole Kidman for example won’t be getting as much of in terms of prestige films (even though it looks like television will be a similar focus for Blanchett in the same way it is a similar focus for Kidman).

While I agree that Adam Driver will likely be the S.Actor priority for Gucci there are a ton of potentially juicy supporting roles in that one – the story its based on is absolutely outrageous even before you get into the whole assassination thing.
Whoever is playing the older uncle (Pacino or potentially deNiro) will get some good material (got sued by his nephew, did time in prison aged 81 after his son reported him for tax evasion). There is definitely a path for Pacino there.
Unrelated but topical – Rudy Giuliani is likely to be a key character in the film.
ReplyCopy URLThe ones with the most opportunities for future nods are Blanchett, DiCaprio, Hanks, & Denzel. Opportunity doesn’t equal reality though, since Hanks would have made it to double digits by now if he hadn’t been snubbed so often lately. From the rest, DiCaprio will eventually get there, but he’s picky, so he won’t get there first. Between Denzel & Blanchett, I’ll vote for Blanchett.
ReplyCopy URLThis a tough one, but I ended up going with DiCaprio. Since he has probably the most work coming up and a lot of upcoming baity roles for just next year alone. But I wouldn’t be suprised if Pacino or Denzel get 10 first. Since they are much closer to 10 then DiCaprio is, and also have baity performances on the way as well.

Denzel doesn’t have anything coming up super-soon after Macbeth so both he and Pacino can easily be leapfrogged by one of the others who are racking up more projects.
That said, I went with Pacino because there is a path for him to do it next year, even with internal competition from the rest of his cast.
ReplyCopy URLI voted for Denzel because everyone loves him, he’s constantly doing new awards friendly projects, can get in for small, little seen films, etc.
But Pacino definitely has the route since he only needs one and he very well may have the film to get in next year. And then there’s King Lear coming soon as well.
ReplyCopy URLNominations Tally Al Pacino- 9 Denzel Washington- 8 Cate Blanchett- 7 Robert De Niro- 7 Jeff Bridges- 7 Judi Dench- 7 Kate Winslet- 7 Glenn Close- 7 Tom Hanks- 6 Leonardo DiCaprio- 6 Winslet, Close and Hanks could receive another nomination this year. The Irishman felt like a farewell nod to Pacino, so although he’s the closest- I don’t really see him getting another nomination. I can see Dench getting her 8th, but unfortunately I can’t see her getting another 3 nominations in her career. So the best bets are Blanchett, DiCaprio, Winslet and Washington
thank you for sharing the nomination totals 🙂
