Best Actress: Post-BFCA/SAG/GG, 2

[Moviefreak]

No, you were arguing that words like “gob-smacking”, “edge-of-seat” or “immense commitment” weren’t raves because they weren’t a paragraph long. The raves for her have been there since Toronto, only because they weren’t AD-style rants about actressing you denied their existence.

I was also arguing that because most of what was written about her was usually just part of the paragraph dedicated to the overall acting in the film and Tom Holland was getting most of the praise. But, people really seem to like this performance and this film (which I actually don't think should be written off from getting into Best Picture either), plus she's hit all the major precursors thus far, so she's looking good.

There are straight men in this forum?

McTeague's straight... but he's also Spanish so it doesn't really count.

[McTeague]

I've also heard Bean is straight, but I don't believe it.

Does he live in America... or actually from Spain?

[filmy]

LOL, this is not a competition on who’s gayer. Like, who cares.

I live for this!

01. Chastain/Lawrence/Watts
04. Cotillard
05. Wallis/Mirren

There is no room for other actresses this year.

Going by general buzz and awards gained so far, Watts is not on the same footing as Chastain and Lawrence by any stretch...


1. Lawrence/Chastain

3. Watts
4. Wallis
5. Cotillard

6. Mirren
7. Riva/Weisz

not sure I agree about 'no room for any other actresses' - Mirren, Riva or Weisz could pull a shocker (especially with BAFTA support), you never know...

[Sebbers]

I think the 5th spot is open between Wallis, Mirren, and Weisz. Don't count Weisz out of it, but I think out of these 3 she has the least chance of getting in, but she could be able to sneak in there. Wallis's campaign is picking up and I think she'll be neck and neck in there with Mirren, but unfortunately I see the Academy going with a more boring, traditional pick of Mirren.

I just cannot believe some people are arguing that Watts did some great works and performance or that she is beautiful. Okay she may be getting a little old but she is still good-looking.


Of course i respect every opinion, so i understand why some people may think she is just pretty but not that handsome or that they are not so fond of her as an actress.



And actually that's more and less what i'm thinking, i don't find her as handsome as some other actress and she is not my favorite working today but i will never come anywhere close to deny how great she was in some movies and that's she is a beautiful woman.

Stating the obvious, you are obviously a gay man.

Lynch on Watts: “I cast her just by her photo, that face had something incredibly mysterious that other actresses didn’t have”.

Haneke on Watts: “She’s obviously the best actress in the English language of her generation”.

A bunch of jealous queens in AD with Donezo and Homespun ahead: “OMG noes! Nicole is better! ”

Sorry kids, I align with Lynch and Haneke.

ETA, and LOL, yeah, Naomi Watts has not raves at all! Isn't it, Mike Aiello? WOV? Moviefreak?

Hey now! I generally like Naomi. I just think her career is always going to be defined by one performance. And according to you, that's more than Meryl Streep will really be remembered for (and I kind of agree ).

[erikdean]

I think we can all agree that McRainbow is gayer than anyone here.

[McTeague]

I think we can all agree that McRainbow is gayer than anyone here.

Including you?

[crazyfists3600]

I think we can all agree that McRainbow is gayer than anyone here.

LOL...I think we're all gay by association...right? I mean, I was mostly straight until I came here and now all I can talk about his humping Russell Crowe

[siowafc]

I love that McTeague is leading the (Nanny) Watts crusade!



Obviously, Haneke and Lynch are correct. Watts is the true acting Legend of the 21st century!

(And, no, I am not being sarcastic.)

[babz]

I'm back to predicting Wallis over Mirren, if BAFTA screening for Beast went as well as we're told they did, she will in there and get an oscar nomination in the end.

1. Lawrence/Chastain
3. Watts
4. Cotillard
5. Wallis

But Mirren is very much in the race for that 5th spot, she could do what she did in 2009 and get in with SAG + GG and i wouldn't be surprised if in addition of these two she also got a BAFTA nom time.

what BAFTA screening?

[erikdean]

Including you?

You have faaar surpassed me, La Pequena.

[McTeague]

You have faaar surpassed me, La Pequena.

[erikdean]

Girr, I'm going to fly to Espana so we can watch it together!

[tnb]

Best response. Ever.

oh yeah, let's celebrate what this place became with pointing out the lows!
