Laura Dern got in for Wild which was totally out of left field. So if Laura Dern looses it’s not because of Jennifer Lopez or even Scarlet Johansson, it’s because her performance in Marriage Story isn’t Oscar worthy. But she’ll be nominated because she’s Laura Dern.

Look at Christian Bales political, transformative performance last year and they still picked Malek playing the musical icon — they’ll do the same this year. Not for nothing, Renée Zellweger is far more beloved than Rami Malek so there might be an even larger sweep for Renée.

Jennifer Lopez is really in it to win it, but I think she’ll be lucky just to get nominated. I’m not even sure if she should be nominated but all her campaigning has now made me desperately want to see her get her Oscar nom.

Saoirse Ronan and Cynthia Erivo are probably not going to get nominated. I haven’t seen enough fanfare about either of their performances. As of right now, I think Awkwafina and Lupita Nyong’o are more likely because I think they’re locks for a nomination for the Golden Globes and at SAG.

Normani is getting in somewhere. She was the most tweeted about artist of the VMAs. She might not be that well known worldwide yet but they won’t snub her.

Why is Margot Robbie so high in the prediction center? I can’t even think of the clip they’d show for her if she gets nominated lol.

Awkwafina should be nominated everywhere next year for The Farewell, she was incredible, but thats probably not going to happen based on how they normally treat indie-dramedy performances.

They could give her the Globe comedy actress nod and that’s it (i.e. Amy Schumer, Greta Gerwig) But I also think theres a way she could show up at SAG and…[Read more]

the ignorance jumped out

but you’re familiar with Harriet Tubman’s personality lol? They both look great but if we’re just judging off the trailer Renée is winning.

If Dancing With a Stranger were to get in the gf will it be for ROTY or SOTY? I assumed Song was more likely, but I’ve seen more people are predicting it for Record.

Molly Shannon is a good example of a flawless performance snubbed due to little or no campaign.

2013 was a great year (Lawrence, Nyong’o, Squibb, Roberts, and Hawkins) those were perfect performances.

I love Regina Hall, but you can tell she’s either shy or just doesn’t want to be there. Alex Borstein didn’t speak as much as the others but when she spoke it seemed like she was genuinely interested in answering the questions. But don’t get me wrong, I still love Regina lol. I don’t think every actress has to have a bubbly, infatuating personali…[Read more]

I wouldn’t say a performance that has yet to be nominated after two seasons is a safe bet. Last year had 8 nominees and she still couldn’t get in.

the critics choice awards nominate every television actress under the sun. They like nominating the underdog.  And the HFPA like to nominate veterans like Debra Messing and Candace Bergen, even if their shows aren’t quite as good. I don’t think the emmys are quite as open.

apparently it’s the Charlie’s Angels soundtrack she’s been working on.
