I was kidding.
Anyway, Tapley called ZD30 as clinical as it gets.
From his tweeter:
Zero Dark Thirty is as clinical as it gets. I may be mixed overall but it has a hell of a build. Chastain is aces. Loved Jason Clarke.
I would have liked to know the slightest bit about Chastain's character. She's a machine.
Then someone asked if she would be nominated or win. His response was maybe and maybe.
Helen Hunt needs to go back to Lead.
JLaw will be easier to take down than Hathaway.
Leaving a screening of The Paperboy.
That's what I have been saying. She could easily get nominated this year. I don't get the studio's strategy with her.
She's no longer a leading ladyHaha, just kidding. I don't know why they bumped her down, but Supporting's not all that great of a race either.
I agree, she'd probably have an easier time winning in lead (just going off of other's impressions).
Her studio already had Wallis, Mirren and Dench to promote, but since Mirren is losing steam they really should upgrade her.
She's probably in a higher percentage of her film than Lawrence is in hers.
LMAO, Tapley's "tweeter"
But yeah, I agree that Hunt should have stayed in Lead. It would have been such an easy nomination.
The studio's strategy is to get as many nominations as possible. Hunt is basically assured a nod in either category, so they put her in supporting to be able to possibly push Mirren or Dench into this category. It's not like she has a chance to win either.
With the right campaign, Hunt could put up a fight for a win among these contenders in LEAD. But that's just me.
No.
Sasha Stone:
Jessica Chastain gives far and away the best performance of the year by any actress, at least here in the US — internationally, she gets competition from Emannuelle Riva and Marion Cotillard.
Kiss of Death.
It's not just you. She'd have a decent shot at winning the Drama Globe, for instance.

Not against Jessica Chastain.
It's not just you. She'd have a decent shot at winning the Drama Globe, for instance.
If Hunt was in leading I think she would've taken the Drama Globe quite easily.

I think the Globe winners will be the deciding factor this year. Lawrence is guarenteed a win, so if Chastain wins Drama then it'll be a race. If it goes to someone else, the race is done.
Why?
Cotillard and Theron were the best winners of the last decade. If I have to pick one I would say Cotillard because it was literally universal. That's why it's gonna be hard for her to win again, she came out of nowhere in 2008 but she doesn't have the surprise effect anymore. In the Times they wrote "[...]a predictably amazing performance by Cotillard[...]" about her perf in Rust & Bone, everybody always expect her to be good. She has the Maryl Streep curse, if she is not absolutely, completely amazing she won't win.
