They need to consider more Asian actors though. Rinko Kikuchi is not enough.

I have this deep-set fear that we're going to spend the next 20 years watching her get nothing.


Only three actresses have won 3 Oscars (Hepburn, Bergman, Streep) and all of them had 30+ years between their first win and their third. Cate won her first 12 years ago.


I feel like Cate could break this trend, though. I hope. My all time fave.

She should've had 3 by now.
She was undeservedly snubbed for "Elizabeth"

The problem is there are literally no Asians in Hollywood that are given Oscar caliber roles. I hope that changes but meh....

Natalie ain't winning a second Oscar this year, it'd be cool if she got the nomination though.

cate will win her third oscar within the next 10 years. bookmark me girlies

I love Cate and Saoirse, but Brie was the only win-worthy nominee this year. She was just mindblowing.

Staying on topic, I am really curious to see what kind of campaign Amy will go for. Because I feel like her role in Nocturnal Animals could do better than her Arrival one, but I fear she might go for supporting and I want Michelle to win

Portman is not a good actress, her performances in Star Wars and Thor movies are embarrassing. Hiding behind boring and pretentious roles can only take you so far. Can't see her being nominated again unless Hollywood Propaganda Machine really has her back.

Well they had the opportunity to nominate Lucy Liu for Kill Bill but alas, both of those movies didn't get a single nomination for some reason.

Jesus, now we add Natalie to the list of possible nominees? This season is already more interesting than the last one.

Went to see Sully yesterday. The movie was good, but not great or amazing. Hanks though was both of these things, as he usually is. Wouldn't mind another nomination for him, but he's unlikely to win anyway, so maybe give that opportunity to some other actor who shines in his movie.

Does anyone consider Collateral Beauty for anything? It looks interesting. Maybe another nomination for Will?



Oh and yeah, the Fanning sisters are a force to reckon with. Both choose right movies, interesting characters...In 5 years they'll probably be fighting against each other for Best Actress.

Neon Demon has a shot at cinematography but other than that? Nah.

Hidden Figures looks amazing but not dramatic enough for Oscars, I guess. The Big Short last year tho...

Will Smith and his oscar bait movies. I'm still laughing at people claiming he was snubbed last year. That Nigerian accent was absolutely pathetic. But you can bet he will try to spin the OscarsSoWhite thing in his favor, like he's "overdue" or something.

Natalie could easily, easily win a second if Fences is a flop. Her raves are almost Blanchett in Blue Jasmine level (and the film will probably be a stronger BP contender than that was and Fences will be).

I've seen people say that she can beat Viola regardless but I don't think she's that strong.

[Funhouse]

And Portman is pregnant as well, which will definitely help in her campaign.

Whew Kristen. I cannot wait for the Oscar nom for Billy Lynn. She has so many acclaimed films coming out this year. If only she could win.

100% on RT? Wow and people are still doubting her in the comment section, I really need her to get an Oscar nomination just to prove everyone wrong, I feel like that's her main aim.

Emma Stone's ahead of Natalie Portman.

Saoirse is amazing.

Cate...


At the bare minimum Kate Winslet needs to get her 2nd first. She has the exact same number of Bafta and Sag (individual film perf) awards as Cate. Oh and Globes I guess. And number of Oscar noms with the same ratio of lead vs. supporting.

[Legend E]

I hope The Cry Inside by Kelly gets released by the deadline and is good enough to snatch a nod

[fridayteenage]

With a $34 mil opening weekend for a drama, Tom Hanks, Clint Eastwood’s best reviews in 10 years, and being Based on a True Hero’s Story, looks like Sully will be the year's first theatrically released BP nominee.

[kgeezy310]

Emma Stone just won the Volpi Cup at Venice for Best Actress for La La Land....has a good record of the winners getting an Oscar nom.

Now this is just not true. Natalie has proven time and time again with so many varied roles that she is an exceptional actress. NO ONE could've delivered lines like "ANAKIN! YOURE BREAKING MY HEART! YOURE GOING DOWN A PATH I CANNOT FOLLOW!" The problem there was the script. And even then, Natalie still took the abysmal material and elevated it (unlike Hayden Christensen).

[snowpiercer]

If Emma pulls the win I'm going to be smiling ear to ear because plenty of people are going to be pressed if a certain someone doesn't win
