She won Tony Award and Laurence Olivier Award for her performance as Queen Elizabeth II in The Audience. She’s the only actor who has completed both the American and British Triple Crowns of Acting.

She was also considered a frontrunner in Best Actress for Fences very early in the season before officially moving to Supporting Actress and easily sweeping there.

Glenn Close stars as Faye Dunaway during the time that she played Katharine Hepburn in a one-woman play called ‘Tea at Five’ in Boston before she was fired.

According to https://nypost.com/2019/07/24/faye-dunaway-fired-from-broadway-bound-tea-at-five/, scenes in the film should include:

– Her behavior was unsettling at an early photo shoot.…[Read more]

There are other narratives and trends that help someone win an Oscar on a regular basis. And Oscars seldom go to the right work/performances anyway. At least with the overdue narrative, it tends to go to the right person.

Jayne Houdyshell is reprising her Tony Award-winning role in The Humans. Like The Father, this film adaptation is directed by the playwright himself. If the film turns out to be really good and A24 gives its full support, she could be a surprising threat in supporting actress.

Robert De Niro was actually nominated as a producer for The Irishman.

Is Anthony Hopkins currently living in Malibu, California? It’s not like he has to fly across the Atlantic to be there. And he looks very healthy. Maybe he didn’t want to sit through those boring hours of the ceremony anymore. He didn’t attend the Emmy when nominated for…[Read more]

Is Michael J. Fox set to reprise his role from The Good Wife this season? That could be the show’s first acting nom.

Eileen Atkins got a Tony nomination for playing Elizabeth I in Vivat! Vivat Regina! while Harriet Walter got one from Mary Stuart.

Since Glenda Jackson is gonna have to do a matinee on that day anyway, hopefully she will be attending. She attended when she was nominated for Macbeth in 1988.

Regarding Laurie Metcalf, if her role could go both ways, I think she will be placed as a lead actress in the end, especially since her status has grown bigger as of late (Lead Actress…[Read more]

Hitch came out in February 2005 while Kevin James got his first Emmy nom in 2006. This was probably a result of the panel system, which produced a weird set of nominees that year.

Will Michael Stuhlbarg get helped by Call Me By Your Name? The film gets early Oscar buzz, but it won’t be released until November. He could get in based on his work anyway.

Riley Keough

Imagine Elvis Presley’s granddaughter/Michael Jackson’s stepdaughter playing Madonna. Can’t get more legendary than that.

Cynthia Nixon is an Oscar away from the Triple Crown and EGOT. She has A Quiet Passion this year, but it seems to go nowhere.

The show is created and written by Peter Morgan, so it has very good potential to begin with. It comes at the right time and could easily take Downton Abbey’s slot.

And John Lithgow as Sir Winston Churchill? He’ll win another Emmy.
