That Bryce Dallas Howard has a pretty good shot of winning an Oscar in the upcoming years.
ReplyMarch 28, 2022 at 6:34 pm #1204886971“No Country For Old Men” as best picture 2007. Boring af, and boring movies should never win best picture.
And “The Departed” best picture win from a year earlier as well. We all know that movie won because of the “Marty is overdue for best picture” narrative and nothing else. I like the movie, but best picture was too much.
ReplyMarch 28, 2022 at 2:45 pm #1204886575No, simply because the award is a recognition to the performance, the artistic achievement, not to the artist responsible for it himself.
ReplyMarch 10, 2020 at 12:31 am #1203376623Why didn’t the Academy put Mara in Lead like they did with Kate Winslet when she went Supporting for The Reader?
Because that would have lowered the chances of both Blanchett and Mara to win and the Academy “followed” the distributor’s suggestion or “instruction” of who should be considered for lead and who for supporting.
However, it’s not always the case that when 2 actors/actresses are both nominated in lead none of them ends up winning, as proven by the cases of for example Terms of Endearment (MacLaine and Winger) and Amadeus (Abraham and Hulce).
ReplyMarch 6, 2020 at 4:28 am #1203372951Kidman is by far the likeliest. I even believe it’s gonna happen sometime during the next 5-6 years. I would say Mirren too but she’s not really seeking to win another one and she’s just having fun at this point of her career.
Berry is a definite no.
Let’s see
Julia Roberts : she’s still very much involved with Hollywood and she could totally win a 2nd one. While I was rooting for Lupita in 2014, Julia would have made a worthy winner for AOC.
But that would have constituted the most blatant case of category fraud win since Timothy Hutton. I’m glad she didn’t win for it, because she didn’t belong there in the first place.
February 25, 2020 at 7:00 pm #1203360563There’s probably no better example here than Sarah Paulson.
Highly likely: James McAvoy, Emily Blunt

The three of them have their own equally important arcs. So, the three are leads. There’s just no argument to sustain that one of them could be a supporting character.
ReplyJune 26, 2015 at 9:47 pm #188981It’s got to be Alan Arkin in Little Miss Sunshine. The man did absolutely nothing special in that movie to deserve the award, let alone the nomination.
Then I guess Michael Caine in Cider House Rules, he wasn’t bad but all the other nominees were far more deserving. Wasted award.
ReplyJanuary 29, 2014 at 8:16 am #137092Tim Robbins was lead but I don’t feel his performance or indeed his role was powerful enough to score a nomination.
And Cate Blanchett in Notes on a Scandal was correctly put in supporting. The movie was always centered around Judi’s character. The movie starts and ends with her, are her thoughts we keep listening during the whole movie, and it’s a story about how Cate’s character impacts Judi’s one. It’s always from Judi’s point of view, she was the sole lead.
ReplyJanuary 29, 2014 at 8:08 am #137091Yes, I agree that Diane Keaton was supporting in Annie Hall. You never see any scene from her point of view. It’s always centered in Allen’s character.
Same goes with Louise Fletcher in Cuckoo’s Nest. I still don’t know what everyone saw in her role that everyone thought it was a leading one. She’s appears on screen less than 40% of the movie and we never see any moment from her point of view, her thoughts, etc, we never see her at the center of the story. Of course, she is a key character, but so was The Joker in TDK. And Heath Ledger went correctly as a supporting role.
