Hands down, the performance of her career, Miss Keaton!!!! Charlize Theron is all makeup and over the top HAM. Watts is good, the others I memorable.

For me, the film of the year with the best performance by an actor….. So yes, it was shocking that Matthau took his spot.

I never bought into Stallone winning an acting Oscar. Not gonna happen. Ruffalo will pull a Marcia Gay Harden and pull this out.

I dislike so many TARANTINO films that i went into the HATEFUL 8
not expecting very much..Well..I was wrong about this one..i like
it alot..it felt like an 8 character play…and i loved the chapters and
storylines…the acting was uniformly good with JJL and Russell the
standouts for me…a bit too much bloody violence..but i suppose i expected
that…but in the end, the twist and resolution were good enough
for me to really like this film..the photography and music by MORRICONE
were both brilliant…The film couldve been a bit shorter but i saw
the roadshow engagement and the intermission helped…although it really
didnt need it..

My grade
B+

I agree about Brie Larson as not being the actual front-runner, but the Maggie Smith (who most definitely isn’t a BAFTA front runner, infact she’s going to be snubbed as hell) prediction is a bit weird. The Academy didn’t give a flying nun about “legendary statuses” (I would hardly call Rampling a legend, though) before. Smith could have been such an easy nominee in 2012, and they have snubbed her for a very baity supporting performance in a well-liked film and went with Jacki Weaver instead. And yes, even the BAFTA snubbed her.

We have to accept that time after time the Academy is moving on…Susan Sarandon won her Oscar on her sixth nomination and we never heard of her again, the same goes to many others…I think Smith and Fonda are done Oscar-wise, no matter how hard people want to make them happen. Their favorite legends are Judi Dench, Helen Mirren and Meryl Streep nowadays.

 

Just a correction  SARANDON  won on her 5th nomination, not sixth…

Sticking with these 5

Rooney Mara
Jennifer Jason Leigh
Kate Winslet
Jane Fonda
Alicia Vikander

If Vikander winds up in lead, then Rachel McAdams gets the spot.
I don’t think Mirren or Banks or Stewart are happening.

My final 9 best picture predictions are
Spotlight, The Martian, Carol, Room, Star Wars, The Revenant, Steve Jobs, The Big Short and Mad Max. It’s possible that older members can not relate to Mad Max and The Danish Girl could sneak in.
