Oh, and that kills me. It's not about the campaign, it's about the performance. Did you like the movie? Go buy the fucking ticket and enjoy it. Did it make an impact? Yes? Then that movie did it's job. I hate that the popularity vote and the campaign voting gets too tied into the true talent and art of film. It's not about what your wearing on the red carpet. It's about the performance and I wish more people saw it that way

Here's the thing. I don't vote or state my opinion on "which performance/movie's chances of winning or being nominated are" I vote on how good something is. I hate sites like Gold Derby for example that play the statistic game. It's not about campaigning, or statistics. Its about if the movie is truly good or not or what performance you felt was the best. That is what I'm stating.

I haven't seen Blue Jasmine yet, so therefore I cannot pick her

Thanks, much appreciated.
I'm just picking who I would pick at this moment in time
These are not predictions. They are mojoe's personal picks which are not in the mainstream. There's no need for anyone to get apoplexy over Spring Breakers being nominated for anything.
Spring Breakers would be lucky to get a screenplay nomination. And even then, it's fighting against the largest slate of potential juggernauts I can remember in some years.

haha I will own that title with pride. I was sooooo bummed last year when Beasts was not eligible for the SAG awards. I threw my vote to Naomi Watts just for the hell of it because the other nominees were...just... well. anyway
she is quite good so I do expect some campaign buzz for her
So luckily living in Los Angeles and a member of SAG I get to see a LOT of movies early in the form of screeners or events and I have seen 90% of the movies heading to awards season so really quick I'd like to share the people/films that I would give nominations
Mind you these are choices of films I have seen so far
