Best Actress: December

[HollyG]

as an avid keira supporter, even i know she wont get sag. Sag usually throws out some random nominees...watch it be laura linney. Lmao! Oh shit, well i better predict here there, especially for those contests on these boards.

This year's Hilary Swank in Conviction

[kissfromarose]

This is a weird year for the category. Rachel Weisz is a previous winner and still a current name in the industry. I mean, last year was waaaay more competitive and Tilda almost made the cut for a very difficult, little-seen movie.

I guess I'm rooting for her just to see filmy go on full Rachel-mania mode.

[David Giancarlo]

I still think Meryl is getting the SAG nom.

[filmy]

I still think Meryl is getting the SAG nom.

Nothing would be more demoralizing than a Chastain/Lawrence/Mirren/Streep/Dench line-up at SAG.

[Moviefreak]

Nothing would be more demoralizing than a Chastain/Lawrence/Mirren/Streep/Dench line-up at SAG.

But it would be sooo typical.

[City Lights]

But it would be sooo typical.

SAG loves its oldies.

I cannot wait for Sally to upset or tie Anne a la Stuart vs. Basinger.

[CINNAMON]

Nothing would be more demoralizing than a Chastain/Lawrence/Mirren/Streep/Dench line-up at SAG.

Lol, this actually sounds plausible! Damn actors!

[Donezo]

I still think Meryl is getting the SAG nom.

Gurl.......let it go. She'll get nod number 18 next year.

[Habsburg]

Even if you accept this version of how SAG will roll, Weisz still has a fighting chance.

Agree.

[Habsburg]

It feels like every single actress has been called a Dame this season...

You have Legend Swinton and Legend Kidman.
Dame Knightley, Watts, Scott-Thomas, Rigg, and Smith.

Several Misses (Lawrence, Field, Adams, Rampling, etc.)

and pretenders.

[Donezo]

Maybe. But, even if they didn't the overall score is good enough and they'll think "hell, it's Helen Mirren in a biopic, she'll probably be in the Oscar race" and mark her down regardless. This is the BFCA we're talking about. I wouldn't put anyting past them in their attempt to match the Oscars.

Yeah....like how many of them actually saw Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close last year before the deadline??

[camille]

Yeah....like how many of them actually saw Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close last year before the deadline??

Oh...did anyone bother watching ELAIC last year?

[bosk]

Hey, Thomas Horn might've had a shot in Best Actress if ELAIC were released this year.

[filmy]

Yeah....like how many of them actually saw Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close last year before the deadline??

Screeners were sent to every member like the day before ballots came out! That's how it did well. Dragon Tattoo, meanwhile, didn't do that.

[Eduardo Zuckerberg]

Hey, Thomas Horn might've had a shot in Best Actress if ELAIC were released this year.

I didn't know Miss Horn was Korean.

[Dooby]

I think you, me, filmy, and Dooby (and whoever else) need to start stealing AMPAS ballots. Can one of us try to get hired as Samuel L. Jackson's new maid?

Ugh, don't do this to me - I already had to suffer through Goddess Swinton getting every precursor in the world yet still having to see her be backhanded by Oscar for Glen Close in drag

Rachel will be a passion vote, but so many people will be turned off by the film I'm just glad she scored one prestigious award this season

However I will try to remain optimistic.

[jjj]

I still think Meryl is getting the SAG nom.

[clearwatergirl]

I still think Meryl is getting the SAG nom.

Are you still predicting her for an Oscar nomination as well?

[McTeague]

LMAO gurls, you're some PASSIONATE (McTeague) WHORES (filmy).

I think Watts will get some passion votes too. People who love The Impossible (and there are many) seem to be like, flabbergasted (Moviefreak) by her (habsy) or its acting in general.

And yeah then there's Riva, Weisz and even Knightley who could get some passion votes too.

I too am puzzled about SAG. But those populist whores (filmy) won't go with something as obscure (guscruz) as The Deep Blue Sea, which is not even Sundance. Hell (guany), I think even Amour (Canela) is less obscure (guscruz) than TDBS, because it at least is a must-see of the season. I'm thinking Lawrence, Chastain and Watts for SAG, and then... Riva and Knightley? Riva and Dench? Dench and Knightley? Any of those and Mirren?

[Orlean]

Nah, I think all Meryl's getting this year is the obvious Comedy Globe nom.
And that's okay.
She did not even WANTED to be campaigned by her studio this year!


But are the Critic Choice Awards really getting a Comedy category?
Then there's the chance she'll be in there too. (despite the fact that HS has only a score of 74 there, only one f*cking point away from a three star film )
