I just can't buy that we're only going to have ONE newcomer in this race.
And I can't buy the fact that Les Mis will have 3 nominations in this category. I think it's far more likely that we have only one newcomer.
If Seyfried happens, it will be because Barks is no good.That scenario not outside the realm of possibility at all. However, I just don't think Les Miz can pull off three nominations in any acting category with the way ballots are counted. The math doesn't really add up.
Great. Now who's going to watch Sunday Rose on SAG night??
There will probably also be a limited amount of spotlight on the Les Miz performers. They just won't be able to handle four or even five actors, so I don't see how it's Barks and Seyfried unless Hathaway fails somehow.
I know I've got a big ego, I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though.
Hathaway, Les Misérables
Field, Lincoln
Hunt, The Sessions
Barks, Les Misérables
Dench, Skyfall (no guts, no glory)
My no guts, no glory prediction would be Pauline Collins, for Quartet. But I don't do NGNG predix anyway, so...![]()
NGNG:
Natalya Angel Wallace as "Young Eponine" in Les Misérables
AND/OR
Nikica Markot as "Lovely Lady" in Les Misérables
Can't decide yet who is more likely. I think Les Mis could actually land six nominations in this category.
Whatever happened to Helena Bonham Carter in Great Expectations? The stage was literally set for a due victory smh
I saw Flight a few days ago, and was wowed by Kelly Reilly. I know she's a longshot now, but I hope she gets in.![]()
God, Hathaway is vile. It's going to be a long couple of months
ETA: Doesn't she realize Sally is the competition?
I was kidding. Anne Hathaway is annoying but I don't hate her or her acceptance speeches. I actually laughed at her Critics' speech award (not in a good way though). And I won't have to worry about Helen Hunt, the camera will like pan on her once or twice through the awards show anyway. They're gonna be focused on Lawrence, Hathaway, Chastain (if nominated)...you know, people actually relevant![]()
