I haven't but will definitely check it out. She's also in another movie, I believe I read in that article. A Jessica Chastain kind of year for her with a welcome-to-the-club nod, perhaps?Reza wrote:flipp have you seen Testament? It's an amazing lead performance. Vikander is on screen throughout.

BAFTAs maybe. Oscars not a chance - the film hasn't exactly set the US box office on fire.Reza wrote:Alicia Vikander and her film Testament of Youth will get multiple nods. She is quite amazing in this.
Here a link to The Guardian with 40 potential Oscar nominees. There are going to be a lot of disappointed people whose films simply won't make the Oscar cut for a variety of reasons:

I don't know if she'll get a Best Actress nomination, but I suspect she may be in for a Best Original Screenplay nomination.

At this point, Amy Schumer seems to be a shoo-in for a Golden Globe (Musical or Comedy) nomination for Trainwreck. It's a star-making performance that is garnering fantastic reviews (even from the likes of Woody Allen who seems to rarely comment on other people's work these days or, really, ever). Could Schumer get an Oscar nomination out of this? She is trending hard.

I could actually see Lawrence killing it in a remake of Mrs. ParkingtonEenusch wrote:Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper are this generation's Greer Garson-Walter Pidgeon.flipp525 wrote:Joy, another David O.

That would make Cooper a four-time-in-a-row nominee which would provide a strong narrative for a win.

Re: Ridiculously Early Nomination Predictions
Taking another look at the Ricki and the Flash previews which are popping up all over, I'm not sure this one is going to go anywhere. This obviously goes against my earlier prediction that Rick Springfield, of all people, might be able to net a nomination. It really just looks too cheesy, formulaic and, at times, ridiculous. The Best Actress slate this year is bursting with candidates (we could conceivably see the first time since 1991 where two candidates from the same film land in this category with Blanchett/Mara for Carol, so I'm not sure Meryl will get her usual placeholder nod this year.
I'm prepared to be proven wrong after watching the actual film, but not feeling it at the moment.

Re: Ridiculously Early Nomination Predictions
Viola Davis is a good recent example - except that, like Straight, she was in a popular movie and one from which almost any other actor was nominated, too. I doubt this will happen to Youth.anonymous1980 wrote:Viola Davis got nominated essentially for just one scene not too long ago.

But then again, good or not it's just ONE scene, and the times of Beatrice Straight-like nominations are over.flipp525 wrote:I've heard phenomenal things about Jane Fonda's brief turn in Youth, so pencil her in for a possible "welcome back" style nod in support.
Needless to say, Laura Dern in Wild is a completely different case - if only because she's in about one thousand scenes of her movie.
