Best Actress 2019 - (next year) - and the Oscar Goes To...

For Diane, who lives alone in western Massachusetts, everyone else comes first. Generous but with little patience for self-pity, she spends her days checking in on sick friends, volunteering at her local soup kitchen and trying valiantly to save her troubled, drug-addicted adult son (Jake Lacy) from himself. But beneath her relentless routine of self-sacrifice, Diane is fighting a desperate internal battle, haunted by a past she can’t forget and which threatens to tear her increasingly chaotic world apart.

I would much rather see her in Something's Wrong with Aunt Diane: A True Story

That's what I thought the movie was about when I first saw the Trailer.

I've always loved her. Anxious to see this.

I've always loved her. Anxious to see this.

Great supporting cast: Estelle Parsons, Andrea Martin, Deirdre O’Connell, Joyce Van Patten, Phyllis Sommerville, Glynnis O’Connor.

I’d rather see Mary Kay Place as Loretta Haggers again.

Amy Adams is a lock for The Woman in the Window. And Melissa McCarthy for The Kitchen.

I saw it at Tribeca last year -- she is terrific. It's probably too small a film though, and her performance is really even-keeled and lived-in, not at all histrionic like the Oscars usually prefer their "acting" to be. Not sure if it can maintain buzz all year

[quote]Amy Adams is a lock for The Woman in the Window.

Nope. Won't even be nominated.

It seems like Amy Adams will always be an also-ran in these races. Ironically, I think her best shot at winning was for her first nomination for Junebug. That performance was phenomenal. She should have been nominated for Enchanted.

Amy can rest assured: she will finally win for a remake of "The Wife" in 25 years.

Tony winner Cynthia Erivo plays Harriet Tubman in a biopic. That seems like a winning combination. (Then again, David Oyelowo as MLK didn’t happen).

Cynthia Erivo has such a lovely voice.

Actress : Cynthia Erivo, Kristen Stewart, Felicity Jones, Ruth Negga, Saoirse Ronan

supporting actress: Margot Robbie, Anna Paquin, Janelle Monaé - Gugu Mbatha-Raw or Meryl or Dame Judi - Scarlett Johansson

Actor: Leonardo DiCaprio, Eddie Redmayne, George MacKay or Jack O'Connol , Bill Nighy or Mark Rylance, De Niro

Supporting Actor: Bobby Cannavale, Whishaw or Capaldi or Laurie - Brad Pitt (category fraud) - Tom Hanks (category fraud) - Al Pacino (category fraud)

Wow, Estelle Parsons is 91, and she looks fantastic in that trailer.

Sadly, Amy Adams will probably be a victim of the revelations about the author of Woman in the Window--I suspect that film will be DOA.

What are the movies, R15?

No, it won’t, R18. The book was an enormous bestseller and the film is being directed by Joe Wright (Atonement, Darkest Hour)-he’s no hack.

Cynthia Erivo is British.

Pan and Darkest Hours were both awful.

R20/R21

[QUOTE]Cynthia Erivo is British.

Yeah, and?

Cynthia Errivo in Harriet:

Julianne Moore as Gloria Steinem in ‘The Gloria’s: A Life on the Road’

R28 It's a remake.

R29, I think you’re thinking of ‘Gloria Bell’ which she is also in and opens next month and is a remake. ‘The Glorias’ is a biopic based on Gloria Steinem’s autobiography. It’s filming now and has “2020” listed as it’s release date on IMDb but that could change if they get it done in enough time to release at the end of the year.

R30 Thanks . ‘The Gloria’s: A Life on the Road’ seems very interesting but wish it had a better director.

Would Saoirse Ronan not get it for Little Women rather than Ammonite

The Aeronauts is not even released yet and is facing controversary.

Not a fan of Brad Pitt or his acting but I can see him easily winning best actor or supp actor next year .

He's popular and it seems he's going to have a banner year with Ad Astra and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood he's a shoo-in for win sooner or later it happens and he wins Oscar for acting.

If he's frauds to supporting category he can easily win best supporting actor for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

and if Ad Astra is good he at least gets the lead actor nomination.

Julianne Moore could also be up for After the Wedding, with Michelle Williams committing category fraud in Supporting. Going by the Sundance reviews the latter scenario seems more likely.

After the Wedding is also a remake.

Radioactive 2020 Directed by Marjane Satrapi

Tells the story of Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie and her extraordinary scientific discoveries — through the prism of her marriage to husband Pierre — and the seismic and transformative effects their discovery of radium had on the 20th century.

I watched the trailer for Diane and still have no idea what the film is about.

The trailer is beautifully done, but what the fuck is it about? Shouldn't a trailer tell you a little something about the plot to make you want to see it?

Diane fills her days helping others and desperately attempting to bond with her drug-addicted son. As these pieces of her existence begin to fade, she finds herself confronting memories she'd sooner forget than face.

Kristin Stewart?! LOL. Only if Pia Zadora doesn't make the cut.

Meryl's at least fifteen years too old for that role. At least.

Stewart is better than recent Oscar winners Lawrence, Stone and Larson combined.

Meryl for Netflix Panama Papers Movie The Laundromat

Amy Ryan for Netflix film Lost Girls

Amy Ryan is always so good.

R44 b

Well, we can all be sure who WON’T be nominated...

I'm not sure I can see Dame Judi getting nominated for playing Old Deuteronomy in CATS. Hasn't she got anything else coming out?

[quote]Stewart stars as actress Jean Seberg

A part she's really miscast in.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Streep will get a supporting for Little Women.

Stewart looks great if the film is good then she gets nominated she's overdue for Oscar nomination.

Who will be the frontrunner for Supporting Actress, R50/R51? I can already see Margot Robbie getting talked up.

Great buzz at Sundance for Emma Thompson in new film about a talk show host. I think it’s called “Late Night,” but not sure about that.

Enrivo is winning. British + BioPic = victory

I know that it’s probably far off any sort of Oscar radar, but I am fucking living for Octavia Spencer in the trailer for MA.

“Let’s get this party TURNED UP!”

[quote]Enrivo is winning. British + BioPic = victory

Yeah, right.

Elisabeth Moss will be in Supporting for The Kitchen

R52 Yes I think Margot Robbie for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. she's very popular and well connected in Hollywood and plays a real tragic person.

Okay R58

People are also talking about Elisabeth Moss in Her Smell, R57, but even Harvey at the height of his dark powers couldn’t sell a movie with that title and that actress.

The Ktchen sounds a lot like Widows, only without the Oscar pedigree. And that went absolutely nowhere.

I thought Widows was boring and I did not enjoy Viola’s hardened performance.

The Kitchen is set in the 1970s and the husbands are all in jail for racketeering. None of them are dead. It’s nothing like Widows.

So the wives take over the husbands’ criminal professions in one because they’re dead, and in the other because they’re in jail, and yet they’re nothing alike? Okay....

Rene Zellweger - Judy

Rosamund Pike - Radioactive

Cate Blanchett - Lucy and Desi

Cate Blanchett - Where'd You Go, Bernadette

Kate Winslet - The Half of It

Diane Kruger - If Love Were All

I don’t think Lucy and Desi is happening this year, and the fact that they pushed Bernadette back isn’t a great sign.

I’d love for Rosamund Pike to get back in the Oscar race. She was great in A Private War, even though that didn’t get any Oscar traction.

God Almighty, EVERYBODY is missing the point here!

Estelle Parsons will be nominated for "Diane." And per our recent, terrific thread on E.P., that will mark her 376th Academy Award nomination, with 87 Oscar wins, 63 Tonys, 41 Emmys, 22 Grammys, 18 Sarah Siddons awards, 14 Pulitzers, 9 Peabodys and 4 - count 'em, FOUR- Nobel Peace Prizes!

Suck it, M! Go Estelle!

The “Estelle Parsons has Won a Zillion Awards” Troll is the most DataLounge thing ever, and I don’t (entirely) mean that as an insult.

Did Parsons ever win a Tony?

[quote]Great supporting cast: Estelle Parsons, Andrea Martin, Deirdre O’Connell, Joyce Van Patten, Phyllis Sommerville, Glynnis O’Connor.

I honestly thought that Parsons, Van Patten and O'Connor were all dead.

Parsons was just on the Roseanne reboot last year.

I just saw Van Patten in an old Twilight Zone episode and she's a surprisingly good actress.

Renee in Judy sounds like Razzie material.

Bump!

[quote]Did Parsons ever win a Tony?

Yes, at least one, for "Miss Margarida's Way."

Kathy Bates- The Velvet Armadillo

Viola Davis - Osprey

Glenda Jackson - The Sage's Cry

R77, those are made-up titles. Neither one is listed on imdb.

Asshole/R63, I worked as crew on The Kitchen. There are surface similarities to Widows but they are still nothing alike. The tones of the two films couldn’t be more different. So shut the fuck up until you’ve seen both.

Triggered, hon at R79?

No, dear/R80, just spelling it out for morons like you

Umm, I’m not R63, you cunt. Just an observer of your unhinged rant. You must have been a joy for everyone on set.

Virginia Madsen - Mrs. Winter's Regret

Julie Walters - Summer Bank Holiday

Joan Allen - Any Day Now

Domhnall Gleeson supporting actor nomination for The Kitchen

R83 thinks he’s way funnier than he is.

Lupita for Us

R86 -

Emily Beecham and Whishaw for Little Joe

Any Jake Gyllenhaal movie that can earn him a nomination in any of 2 acting category?The guy deserves more than 1nom.

Elisabeth Moss has 3 movies this year: The Kitchen, Us, and Her Smell – she better get her first Oscar nod

Her Smell?

Oh lord.

What's the big sin that Diane is trying to redeem?

R92 Spoiler:

I haven't watched the film but from the article below

[quote]the story of her own addiction and selfish passion (that weekend at the Cape! when she abandoned her young son to have an affair), which has guided the karma of her life in ways she never expected, leading to the moment of invisible reckoning she’s at now.

Kristen Stewart for Underwater or Jean Seberg film. Gaspard Ulliel for Sibyl

Taylor Swift and Jennifer Hudson for Cats!

I love Mary Kay Place.

Mamie, can you please look her up? I think she was in one of my movies.

Her Smell already played at festivals last year and got mediocre reviews. But then this whole thread is a mess. It is just too early. Remember when Blunt and Adams were locks this time last year? And the Widows? But no one was talking about Green Book or Roma.

What is that old saying about nobody knows nothing?

Cynthia Erivo, Harriet

Saoirse Ronan, Little Women

Kristen Stewart, Against All Enemies

Thomasin McKenzie, Jojo Rabbit

Frances McDormand, Nomadland

Melissa McCarthy - The Kitchen

Olivia Coleman - Them That Follow

Glenn Close - Sunset Boulevard

Lady Gaga - Yentl in Brooklyn

Yaritza Aparicio - Roma 2: Electric Bugaloo

First Half of Scorsese’s ‘The Irishman’ Features De-Aged Cast

best actress: Kristen Stewart

best actor: Eddie Redmayne

best supporting actor: Bobby Cannavale or Stephen Graham

best supporting actress: Anna Paquin

R100 Olivia Coleman - Them That Follow

bad reviews and she's supporting in the film

Scorsese is a lock for a nom.

Awards Circuit, which always post predictions for the next year right after the Oscars, has these five for Best Actress next year:

Amy Adams “The Woman in the Window” (20th Century Fox)

Cate Blanchett “Where’d You Go, Bernadette” (United Artists)

Cynthia Erivo “Harriet” (Focus Features) – WINNER

Saoirse Ronan “Little Women” (Sony Pictures)

Alfre Woodard “Clemency” (No U.S. Distribution)

Amy Adams is so overrated she doesn't need another nomination.

And the nominees for Best Actress are:

Nancy Pelosi -- Pretending That Clap Was Not the Nastiest Ever Public Trump Diss KellyAnne Conway -- Pretending She's Not Insane Sarah Huckabee Sanders -- Pretending She's Not a Propaganda Machine Ivanka Trump -- Pretending She Doesn't Mind It When Daddy Touches Her Melania Trump -- Pretending She Doesn't Fantasize About Donald Choking On His Chicken Bones

Taylor Swift for pretending she's not gay [html removed]Karlie Kloss for pretending she's not gay[html removed]

These awards sites like to pretend they know something but are usually wrong on tv and film. Dead wrong. They also get stuck on "faves" "queens" and "legends". Embarrassing.

And would some poster stop bringing up films that have already come out at film festivals and got mediocre reviews. Google is your friend.

[quote] Scorsese is a lock for a nom.

Is Marty transitioning?

An Oscar for Place would be nice indeed. Easy to root for.

(Like Janney, Metcalfe, etc.)

Awardswatch is a bunch of self-righteous, know-it-all losers. I would have loved to watch the fallout when Close lost.

Mary Kay Place will have to get used to being cheated out of Oscars just as she was robbed of a Grammy.

Sorry....Oscar is going Renee Zellwiger as Judy Gardland in 2020

[quote]R16 Wow, Estelle Parsons is 91, and she looks fantastic in that trailer.

She will get her 15th Oscar for this, for sure.

R113 Many Awardswatch users were so nasty to Colman It was just disgusting.

R115 She's outed as Weinstein's ex whore so no. I also don't see another Oscar in future of Theron or Jennnifer Lawrence for the same exact reason.

Glynnis O’Connor! Wow!!

All this talk about future nominations are silly. The movies may end up flopping. Remember all the buzz about Leo playing J. Edgar Hoover? Crickets.

Last year around this time, Saoirse Ronan was a SHOO-IN for Best Actress for Mary Queen of Scots, before the film had opened.

"Diane" sounds as depressing as "Manchester by the Sea," also set in a Massachusetts working-class town.

I'll pass.

No one like Kristen Stewart, she is box office poison.

No noms for her.

The Aeronauts is winning 6 Oscars.

According to Variety, Thierry Fremaux was a big admirer of Against All Enemies. It could be a promising sign of quality or he could be just stanning Kristen Stewart as he loves her.

^ This is one I am looking forward to. I think this is going be great. Read the back story if you don't believe me. Perfect for Kristen Stewart. 👍

I actually didn't think Diane was that depressing. Not like a lot of movies that just wallow in themselves, anyway. It takes its tone from its lead character and is fairly pragmatic about itself. There's no histrionics or melodrama.

Leonardo DiCaprio

shitty accent by Portman she's ruining another film.

I'm ok with Mary Kay Place getting an oscar. I thought Michelle pfeiffer should have been nominated instead of Gaga.

I hate Kristen Stewart so very much.

[quote]r123 No one like Kristen Stewart, she is box office poison. No noms for her.

I will save her from my fate.

What about Molly Shannon? She looks great in the trailer for that Emily Dickinson movie.

Lupita Nyong'o- Us

DiCaprio will likely get another nomination, but I don't think he's going to win. It took him ages to win his 1st Oscar, why would anyone want to give him 2nd so soon?

Phoenix for Joker. Career win.

[QUOTE]Lupita Nyong'o- Us

I can totally see this. Similar to Daniel Kaluuya's nomination for Get Out.

2020 Oscar Nomination Predictions: BEST ACTOR (April)

Jessie Buckley in Wild Rose

2020 Oscar Nomination Predictions: BEST ACTRESS (April)

Robert Pattinson is earning acclaim for his performance in Claire Denis' must-see space drama #HighLife. Watch an exclusive clip

Shoulda been nominated for GOOD TIME

Kristen Stewart is so miscast. How did they pick a chubby, short, butch, low energy actress as the vibrant classy ultra feminine Seberg?

R142 trolling hard

Pattinson and Stewart are both overdue for Oscar nomination.

Willem Dafoe was robbed he should have won for Florida Project.

Willem Dafoe is really having quite a career resurgence. Can you imagine him getting another Oscar nomination next year (which would make it three years in a row being nominated)? I would think he'd be a frontrunner if that happened.

^ Yes he was sole nominee from two movies two years in a row that just show's how respected he is among his peers.

Oscars 2020: Best Supporting Actor Predictions

who cares

What’s the tea on the screening for Against All Enemies? I remember something awhile back about Kristen’s performance being strong, I also remember certain juicy moments being listed, but I need my memory jogged.

Best Actor: James McAvoy - It: Chapter Two

R152, I have actually heard that buzz already. Supposedly, he’s amazing.

Jean was absolutely Hitchcockian, r142.

It’s only May and you bitches are already predicting noms AND winners for performances in movies that haven’t even come out yet.

I don't think It: Chapter Two being a Oscar bait movie.

Kristen Stewart > Emma Stone + Jennifer Lawrence + Brie Larson

but no Oscar nomination because she's out if she was a closet case like the named 3 she would already have at least one Oscar.

R142 is a troll the people like you are the reason gay actors don't come out.
