It's funny though, considering Smith and Dench are the most rewarded actresses in BAFTA history. A win for either (in either cat) is entirely possible.Originally Posted by dlong5665
Yeah I don't think it's going to a Dame this year. Unless they are the frontrunners they usually just nominate them.
OMG, maybe can Judi Dench can win in supporting for Skyfall. Just imagine Hathaways face.
I'm not predicting either of the to take home a trophy but they are both getting nominated and the question is where? Honestly I think one of them could win supporting over Hathaway considerin the year they are both having.

i'm probably wrong(except JLaw,Wallis,Mirren)but it's nothing new for me
Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Helen Mirren lost a Bafta in the same category and in the same year... The winner was Jennifer Connelly...I guess Hathaway is safe even if Judi Dench/Skyfall and Maggie Smith/Marigold are nominated for the Bafta.

Omg, are you Sally Field?
I'm beginning to doubt Mirren's chances. The buzz died after AFI as quickly as it began. There's no passion for the project, even more bizarre considering the premiere platform and caliber of talent involved. Marion is only happening if people see the movie. Once again, "prognosticators" this year seem to be confusing Cannes with AMPAS. Foreign films are a tough sell. Yes! Marion is a big Hollywood star but AMPAS still needs to watch the movie. Nobody is putting her name on the ballot if the movie is not seen. Ask Tilda Swinton, an Academy Award-winning actress completely shut out for an impressive turn in a foreign film. Riva has the edge, in my opinion, simply based on the strength of performance, the respect for Haneke and his overdue status. Plus, Haneke is out and about, campaigning and DRAGGING Spielberg in the process (LMAO-worthy and 100% of unadulterated awesomeness). As for Chastain, we'll just have to wait until screenings. What a wacky year. Truly, anything goes.
We covered (i.e., laughed at) this a few weeks ago: http://awardsdailyforums.com/showthr...ight=breznican
It seems that Chastain is the last hope to make the race more competitive and interesting. If she fails, the best actress race will be ended too soon for this year. Lawrence is probably going to take all the major awards while Wallis will get some film critics awards. I still think Riva might win if she finally gets in. It's one of the foreign language film contenders and the performance is just incredible. The members of the Academy will vote for her without any doubt once they watch the film.
This race
I actually think Emmanuelle Riva is the real dark horse to watch for the win - that is if she is able to get nominated in the first place
Good memories
Let's not rehash this travesty for the nth time
Do you have it in you to NOT respond to every comment I make on AD? LAAAAWD!!! Madeleah was on to something.
Do you have it in you to NOT be a deluded caricature hypocrite? You use the same lines in all your posts (and that one is about as old as your wig), while chastising others for "recycling" commentary. Remember how you begged everyone else, after you derailed the AK thread, to restrict the scope of posts to the topic at hand (see: Can we keep the discussion on anna karenina? Thanks!!!) ? Why don't you try the same, and not use this thread to harken back to Best Actress races of years past.
Don gon found me a stalker on the internet smh
