Biopic roles that would be good Oscar bait

Johnny Depp as Keith Richards.

Julia Roberts as Oprah Winfrey

Mao Zedong. He was a genius military commander, a feminist and a raging asshole who killed tens of millions.

Thandiwe Newton as Eartha Kitt (seriously there NEEDS to be a biopic of her life).

To Xir With Love: The Sam Smith Story

R1 Hollywood better jump on that because I think there's a good chance Keith will outlive Johnny.

Matt Damon as Sam Brinton in

HOT LUGGAGE: A New No-Nukes Musical!

Maybe Next Time: The Glenn Close Story

Viola Davis as Josephine Baker

Viola Davis IS viola Davis!

Gaga IS Huma! Deneuve IS Hillary! McCaughnehey IS Weiner!

Ashley Judd IS Naomi Judd. Rosie O is Wy, and Ashley Judd is also Ashley Judd. Coming in 2024: 'Love Wants to Jump Off a Bridge'.

This holiday season Lauverne Cox IS Nancy Carter

Julia Garner IS Jean Harlow

And this one I am fucking serious about because sometimes it's uncanny how she already resembles her in some shots/angles on Ozark. With the right hair/makeup/costumes, she would be amazing. They need to get to getting on this before she gets much older, but she would be really perfect.

Gwyneth Paltrow IS Blythe Danner!

Catherine Deneuve as Penny Mordaunt in Revulsion.

Lens Dunham IS Sara's Vagina Cape!

Chrissy Metz as The Grand Canyon

Ariana Grande IS Connie Francis.

The rape scene alone would guarantee an Oscar nomination.

Joan Collins is Unfiltered: The Mrs. Michael Doulas, 37 Story

Glenn Close IS...well, never mind.

I can think of someone whose "biopic" would be amply filled by Silky Nutmeg Ganache.

You know. That poor nominee. She twerks or something. Whatever her name is.

Brittany Spears as Barbara Peyton

Charlize Theron IS Mrs. Patsy Ramsey

I’m still shocked that no enterprising young actress hasn’t sweep up the rights to Dare Wright’s life and done a movie yet. The White Michelle Williams would have been perfect a few years ago and could maybe still pull it off. But, perhaps now Chloe Grace-Moeretz would be the best contender.

R11, I would SO watch that! (Gaga is turning into a fantastic actress.)

Amy Adams IS Fergie, Duchess of Pork.

Agree about Dare Wright. It is very odd that no one has done a biopic, you'd think it would be a natural.

Kathleen Turner should play end times Gertrude Stein.

R27 lol that made me laugh. I could see that happening. Or, Amy will try to find some biopic of a female American politician likely Hilary Clinton for Oscar bait.

I've thought that Michelle Monaghan looks like that stupid cunt governor of South Dakota Kristi Noem. I don't think will ever be a Noem biopic.

M should play Trump. She wouldn’t have to gain much weight.

Tituss Burgess as Andre Leon Talley.

[QUOTE](Gaga is turning into a fantastic actress.)

Thank you, R26. I needed a good laugh.

Meredith Baxter Birney IS Marie Curie!

A BIOPIC about a BIPOC.

Abigail Breslin IS Stella Stevens in

WET TITS & HEELS: A Thespian Adventure

Geoffrey Rush as Fran Lebowitz

Gal Gadot as Melanija Knavs. I'm imagining a movie detailing a young girl's erotic journey from Ljubljana to NYC.

The Poop Emoji IS Lizzo

Laura Linney IS Dr. Jill Biden. The monologue after she meets Widower Joe and woos him will shoo her in for the win.

Viola Davis in "Negro Woman of the South: The Oprah Winfrey Story."

R39 I see that as more of a one person theater piece than a movie. It could be like her Hal Holbrook production of Mark Twain that she tours the country relentlessly in once her career has peaked.

Britney Spears: Hit my Crack pipe one more time.

I’d like to see Gal Gadot’s Portrait of Golda Meir as a Young Girl instead.

Was Golda ever young?

I like to think she was once young and pretty, before the change.

[quote]Viola Davis as Josephine Baker

"She lived. She took up space. She was present"

Gwyneth Paltrow in BLONDE AMBITION playing Tippi Hedren during the making of The Birds.

Gwyneth will miss out on the Oscar, but Brendan Fraser will win Best Supporting Actor for playing Alfred Hitchcock at his most corpulent.

Kathy Bates as Elon Musk

Gwyneth Paltrow is fifty years old.

R49 OK fine, then Gwyneth Paltrow IS Blythe Danner: The Later Years

R47, Sienna Miller did that!

Anya Taylor Joy for r25

Why nobody has done a biopic about DL fave Dorothy Kilgallen I’ll never know. Monica Dolan should get that done immediately.

R52 There was an announcement in 2018 about a movie being in development.

Camilla Parker-Bowles-Mountbatten-Windsor IS Christine McVie: The Final Years.

Years ago, I remember Vera Farmiga signed on to play Christine McVie in a movie. It must have been shelved.

If Lens Dunham went on a diet/gastric bypass/took pills, I honestly believe she could not only play a good Dot Kilgallen, but also write the screenplay and direct. A triple Oscar! #justiceforlens

Matthew Goode in a Jim McGreevy biopic.

Dan Abrams - hot AF

R58, no he isn’t. He only has one ball too.

OP must be the one greenlighting all the horrible movies in Hollywood.

Sarah Jessica Parker as Joan Rivers in the 1980s (her big crazy decade, with her talk show and Edga;'s suicide).

^What about me? It's because I'm black, isn't it?

Laura Linney would make a great Pat Nixon
