So to sum up:
-Close never won BAFTA before;
-Ali never won BAFTA before;
-Bale never won BAFTA before.
Reply1. Ali 2. Chalamet 3. Grant 4. Elliot 5. Driver The Academy will have no problem giving Ali #2. He deserves to win. Chalamet is #2 and deserves to be #2. His day will come.
According to this Grant is #2 and Elliot is #3 though.

ReplyDAFOE IS COMING FOR Y’ALL
Poor Dafoe. He has 3 Oscar nominations already and is definitely overdue for the win.
ReplyFor Supporting Actor I think it will be Ali or Chalamet but I stick with Ali.
Chalamet? Ali is fronrunner atm with GG/CC combo, but Richard E.Grant won most critics’ awards, while Chalamet has zero winning buzz. So if anyone suddenly upsets Ali, it will be Grant.
ReplyChristian Bale has already won his Oscar.
But only Supporting one, not Lead one.
Dana S..
I think Pryce is the dark horse contender for Supporting Actor. Would not be surprised if he was snubbed, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if he got in (Lesley Manville situation?).
But Manville also got BAFTA nom.
ReplyBut Ali has the baggage of having won so recently.
Christoph Waltz says hi!
ReplyHe basically does nothing through the film, just being fat and covered in makeup and wigs.
The issue here is that similar thing can be said about Malek as well. He wears false teeth and does imitation of Mercury, lip syncing to his iconic songs.
ReplyI just thought that one of the many reasons they might award Bale is because he will definitely trash Republicans in his acceptance speech one way or another.
ReplyLupita Nyongo would be a good Esmeralda
Esmeralda was gypsy in Disney’s cartoon. Not Kenyan.
ReplyIf Close wins the sag, The race is over. If Gaga wins, It will be very close leading up to the baftas and the oscars. To all of the gaga’s fans out there, Pay close attention to who wins the sag for best actress. The sag winner almost always go on to win the oscar. The acting branch is the biggest branch in the academy.
I am pretty sure Close is winning SAG. She never won movie SAG before. It’s about time they showed her respect she deserves.
ReplyIf they cast someone like Alicia Vikander as Esmeralda, that would be whitewashing.
I also don’t think she has vocal chops to perform “God help the outcasts”.
ReplyGary Oldman does sing (as evidenced in the video below). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COZqtPADejM Then again, I’m not sure if he’s vocally fit for a score like Hunchback.
Ok, thanks for the link. But I do not think he’s vocally fit for this score either.
If this was just going to be a straight forward nonmusical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s novel, Gary Oldman would be perfect casting for Claude Frollo.
But Claude Frollo in original novel is in his 30s (in the cartoon he was made much older), while Oldman is in his 60s. So Oldman is too old to play book!Frollo. I mean in his younger years he probably would be a good choice for book!Frollo, but not now.
ReplyI don’t think Bale will win SAG or the Oscar. Rami Malek is taking both. But Bohemian Rhapsody won’t be nominated for Best Picture and it won’t win anything else.
But if Bohemian Rhapsody isn’t going to be nominated, when was it last time that actor won Best Actor without his movie getting BP nom?
Thing is, CC also gave both awards to Michael Keaton in Birdman, simply because he was perceived as the frontrunner at the time, when in reality he never truly was.
It was actually understandable why he was perceived as the frontrunner at that time – Keaton won majority of critics’s awards that season, won GG and this role was a big career comeback for him. In case of Malek he became to be seen as possible frontrunner only due to winning GG.
Malek and Bale being ahead of Bradley is a crime
Somebody in ASiB’s camp needs really to ask themselves what they did wrong with their campaigning for Best Actor category, then.
