Let's create a surefire Oscar-winning role for Annette Bening!

Annette could play a transgender drag queen with Aids who, while trying to save her farm from unscrupulous bank foreclosure, has to sell a kidney on the black market in a parallel universe in order travel back in time again to the Holocaust in order to save her kidnapped children from Nazis.

Annette could try playing fellow loser G in "The Eternal Bridesmaid" and split the Oscar with her. Desperate times...

A remake of Mildred Pierce in which her child is trans.

Played by her actual trans child.

Co-starring CGI de-aging.

She's sort of a bizarro-world Sally Field, in that Annette is 65 but looks 75.

Sally played Mary Todd Lincoln at 65 and passed for 45.

Maybe Annette could star in a remake of Harold and Maude with Tim O'Tay?

A racially recharged remake of Rosemary's Baby, starring Zendaya and directed by Jordan Peele?

[quote] Sally played Mary Todd Lincoln at 65 and passed for 45.

Might I recommend cataract surgery?

For Annette:

"Alyson of Bath"---The Tale of Chaucer's Bawdy Wife.

We need to put Glenn in it, too

A spin-off film in the airplane universe based on the singing nun

Cast Cillian Murphy as the male lead and I’ll line up to see whatever the group comes up with.

We tried it for poor Glenn. It didn’t work.

Some things just aren’t in the cards. Not every fine actress can be beloved by her peers.

A dramatic Golden Girls type film starring Annette, Glenn Close, Sigourney Weaver and Angela Bassett.

The Hillary Swank Story!

R9, Mother and son in a re-make of "Juno and the Paycock"?

Annette is 65, Cillian is 47.

R11, I'd actually love to see that!

She has a miniseries coming up shortly.

A sequel to American Beauty where she's out of her mind and no longer cares about anything. Now it's HER turn to give up on life.

The lead in a RuPaul biopic.

She needs to play a disabled person.

Don’t try playing a man. It doesn’t work.

A blind and deaf woman who solves a mystery.

The Katherine Hepburn part in Suddenly Last Summer. Seriously.

She'd be better than Hepburn was, and they could do a remake closer to the original intent of the play.

Whaddya think?

We need to get Diane Warren to write a theme song for the movie

And I'll sing the fucking heart out of that theme song!

Harriett Tubman

Lena Horne

Paul Lynne

Divine

Harriet Tubman is MY role, not Annette's!

Bradley, you can direct. Then give a bunch of interviews about how the spirit of Leonard Bernstein was guiding you

Maybe, a Nancy Pelosi biopic.

^ Bradley can play the MAGA freak who beat Nancy's husband with a hammer

Annette Bening as Hilary Swank in “The Hilary Swank Story.”

In “MILF and Dove” Annette stars as Julie, a blind & retired librarian who is forced to take to OnlyFans due to medical bills. Unbeknownst to her, her assistant Dove (Lily Gladstone) has also been posting conversations with Julie at the breakfast table to YouTube, where Julie has been sharing her painful story of abuse and how she persevered. Julie becomes an internet sensation and becomes the first blind woman to host a hit daytime talk show. Costars include Oprah Winfrey and Emma Stone as Julie’s estranged daughter, Honey, who is also blind.

[quote]Emma Stone as Julie’s estranged daughter, Honey, who is also blind.

No, Emma already has two Oscars. I will play the role of the estranged daughter who is also blind.

R29, are you also R12?

Big Gretch- The Gretchen Whitmer Story

With the aid of prosthetics, wigs, makeup, and CGI Bradley plays Big Gretch. Annette will play Big Gretch's mother who died of brain cancer years ago. With Carey Mulligan as Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Winona Ryder as Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, and Abigail Breslin as Big Gretch's lesbian daughter.

For their excellent body of work, it’s mind boggling that Annette Bening, Glenn Close, Sigourney Weaver and Angela Bassett have not received an Oscar. These are well trained, experienced, interesting, and accomplished actors.

Angela Bassett should have tried to star in a Shirley Chisholm biopic years ago.

The estranged blind daughter is Oscar bait for Nepo Baby Ella Beatty, who will her first, and forget to thank Mom, while Annette loses again.

*will win*

Give Annette the Oscar!!

Glenn Close too!

It's part popularity contest and Annette apparently just ain't that well liked.

I also need an Oscar and I can play the estranged blind daughter.

The Oscars really missed a trick not having Hillary Swank present Bening’s nomination. We’d never stop talking about it.

Annette Bening in "The Elizabeth Warren Story!"

Amy Adams could use a boost in one of these projects after six nominations.

I think the dementia route that has won Streep, Moore & Hopkins Oscars recently would be her best bet. Throw in Bradley Cooper as the son and Amy Adams as the daughter and at least one of them should get an Oscar. End credits will have a tear-jerking ballad by Diane Warren, "Please remember me (and tick my name on the ballot)", co-written and performed by Glenn Close.

Amy Adams will probably go down the political biopic route for an Oscar. She'll either dye her hair brown to play Gretchen Whitmer or don a short blonde wig to play HIlary Clinton.

Annette as Muriel, a harried webmistress, in DATALOUNGE.

[quote] It's part popularity contest and Annette apparently just ain't that well liked

I think Glenn has a slightly better chance of winning an Oscar than Annette.

This thread is starting to piss me off.

[quote] Annette Bening in "The Elizabeth Warren Story!"

Well, she played Dianne Feinstein in a movie several years back. Playing another US senator won't hurt her if it could get her the Oscar.

If should could nail the accent, she could portray Nico from The Velvet Underground, but re-imagined... like Nico she didn't die of an overdose and lived to be an extremely aloof, yet talkative, old lady.

[quote] Angela Bassett should have tried to star in a Shirley Chisholm biopic years ago.

Bassett was the right age for that about 20 years ago, when Hollywood was not making movies that starred 40-something Black female actors.

Annette would be great as the star in a Glenn Close biopic.

Jill-2029

With wigs and prosthetics, Annette plays Dr. Jill Biden.

Glenn Close and Annette Benning starring in The Whales of August.

[bold]Three Shakes[/bold]

Annette stars as Mike Johnson, avoiding congressional pitfalls and preventing crucial aid to Ukraine while he attempts to repair his relationship with his very black adopted son via masturbation apps.

Serving the Royals

Annette doing a British accent plays Dr. Violet Clark, an oncologist who is tasked with advising King Charles III and Kate Middleton on their cancer bouts while also dealing with her own personal issues. Co-starring Christoph Waltz as the ghost of Violet's husband who was also a doctor, but died tragically in an accident during a medical mission in Africa. Carey Mulligan plays Violet's disabled daughter who was cerebral palsy and speaks with slurred speech (this will help Mulligan win an Oscar in the supporting actress category). Vanessa Kirby in brown wig as Kate Middleton and Michael Fassbender in age makeup and prosthetics as King Charles III.

I want something that’s physical as well as emotional - with a blurry Summer afternoon glow about it.

“NELL, EVER AFTER” in which an older and world weary Nell confronts her speech therapist - played by Drew Barrymore - as well as her physical therapist - played by Courtney Love. It might veer into Suspiria territory with a song and dance number.

Annette as Hillz Clinton.

Agree with above poster who said that Annette’s nepo-daughter Ella will get an Oscar before she does.

costar with deneuve or hubert. both get nominated and the american wins

For Annette: Remake of 'Whatever happened to Baby Jane.

For Glenn: Remake 'Sunset Boulevard' before Glenn totally ages out.

With the help of a wig and CGI Annette takes on the role of Kari Lake in Arizona Conflict.

Annette Bening is "Elephant Woman."

Reassemble the original cast of Grifters and reshoot it exactly, Gus Van Sant style. The actors are directed to play it straight and the question of improbability due to age is NEVER addressed. They must sell the characters, using their career long acting experience and brilliance. And it works! Oscars for everyone.
