So now that we have had all the major award nominations prior to the Oscar nominations, what are we all wanting/expecting to get nominated? It certainly looks an interesting race, especially in certian categories, whilst others seem pretty set in stone.

Best Supporting Actress Amy Adams (Very) Claire Foy (First Man) Emma Stone (The Favourite) Margot Robbie (Mary Queen of Scots) Rachel Weisz (The Favourite) Regina King is more likely to be in there in place of Claire Foy or (more likely) Margot Robbie. Or at least she should be. Blunt not getting a Bafta nomination would usually hurt her chances of a nomination a bit, but there isn't really anyone else to replace her unless the Academy goes for Viola Davis instead. It doesn't really matter anyway as the winner will be Close or Colman. |

Or at least she should be. Oh damn, I completely forgot about Regina, of course she will be nominated! She will probably win too. I'll take Claire Foy off then, just because Margot seems to be getting more major nominations haha. I do think that final slot will be Claire or Margot though.  |

Margot Robbie has no right to be there. She spends more time fighting with the wig than acting and the film is a bit soapy. It's like 'The Other Boleyn Girl' with even less of a focus on historical accuracy.

I think you might have it there Daniel, but I'd place Claire Foy in there above Rachel Weisz.

Best animated will be a tossup between Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse and Incredibles 2, unless there is an upset and they go with Isle of Dogs

Weisz will definitely be nominated, she's been nominated everywhere else and The Favourite has some traction (though it won't win any Best Film awards except possibly Best British Film at the Baftas), whereas First Man has seemingly sunk without trace If it wasn't for the fact that her vote is inevitably being split with Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz would have a shot at winning, but as it is if Regina King doesn't win it will probably be Amy Adams (and I presume Adams will take the SAG award given King isn't nominated). |

In my mind, I want Rami, Emily, Timothée and Amy to win but of those, it seems only Rami has a real shot. Timothée should of won last year so he is overdue, as is Amy, and Emily is sensational in Poppins and has never even been nominated which is disgraceful considering, with The Devil Wears Prada, she waw nominated everywhere except the Oscars!
What do we think of the murmourings of Blunt maybe getting nominated for Supporting for A Quiet Place as well as Lead for Poppins? She'd certainly be deserving of both and I know some are predicting it!

She'd certainly be deserving of both and I know some are predicting it! If she can't even manage a single nomination at the Baftas then there is no way Blunt will score two noms at the Oscars. All the predictions for A Quiet Place are just false hope rather than based on anything solid in my opinion. |

Spike Lee is 12/1 to win Best Director with the bookies. Good price.
Can't see Bradley Cooper winning for his first film given it's such pedestrian material.
Cuaron won for his previous film Gravity and Mexicans have won 4 of the last 5. He is the 1/5 betting favourite and I think you have to take him on at that price when it's a Spanish language, limited release, black and white film.
Spike Lee has never won.

All the predictions for A Quiet Place are just false hope rather than based on anything solid in my opinion. I'm shocked she didn't get nominated for Poppins at the BAFTA's. Clearly Viola Davis is the one that got in her way in this instance, which unless the Oscars continue their love for Viola, won't get nominated for an Oscar and Emily will get in there. I feel bad saying that as I like Viola and shes great in the film, but Emily is amazing in Poppins and is way overdue for a nomination. Viola is fine guys, give Emily a nod this time around. Please. |

NOthing for Death of Stalin? Ok, it was the only film I saw last year, but I thought it was excellent.
I saw The Favourite at the weekend and didn't enjoy it much.

Oh, ok. That's odd, I thought I saw it nominated for a load of other awards this week.

I don't see how Emily Blunts role in A quiet place could be classed as supporting really.
I doubt she'd win for poppins as its not done THAT well commercially or critically, other films have more momentum at this stage.
I'd love to see Olivia Coleman get it, I feel like she will be Judi Denchs successor as talented award winning actress and national treasure

But then again, Viola Davis wasn't a supporting role in 'Fences' and Mahershala Ali certainly isn't supporting in 'Green Book' either. To be fair, neither are Timothee Chalamet, Rachel Weisz or Emma Stone and they're all likely supporting category nominees too. |

Is it … I could be making this up, but isn't every role considered supporting by default unless the actor is above-the-title on the poster or a specific application has been made to consider the role in question leading?

Nope, the producers of each film arbitrarily decide who is Leading and who is Supporting depending on who they think has the best chance of awards success in each category. |

Has anyone noticed Regina King is following the same path as Sylvester Stallone a few years ago? Like, matching eachother award for award in the four major awards.
BAFTA - Neither Nominated
Critics' Choice - Both Won
Golden Globe - Both Won
Screen Actors Guild - Neither Nominated
Whilst it appears Regina will get nominated like Stallone was, I do wonder if we will see her lose in the same way. It appears she will be nominated alongside (based on nominations for the four prior major awards):
Amy Adams (Vice)
Regina King (If Beale Street Could Talk)
Emma Stone (The Favourite)
Rachel Weisz (The Favourite)
then the final slot being either:
Claire Foy (First Man)
Margot Robbie (Mary, Queen of Scots)
with a very small chance the last slot being:
Emily Blunt (A Quiet Place)
Nicole Kidman (Boy Erased)
So if Regina doesn't win the Oscar this year, who does? Amy Adams for the long overdue factor? Or one of The Favourite women right?

Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone will cancel each other out, and both have won before - I don't see either of them getting a second Oscar for a film that is good but not great and performances that are very good but not earth-shattering.
Regina King should win it, her lack of SAG nomination just shows the lack of buzz for Beale Street as much as anything else (which is a shame as it's fabulous).
The only person who can beat her is Amy Adams, and that would be more of an "about time" win than anything else, and if Glenn Close is going to win Best Actress then I'm not sure the Academy would give out two "overdue" acting prizes in one year...different story if Olivia Colman takes Best Actress of course.

My thought too with regard to Amy and Glenn, I just can't see them giving too overdue actresses Oscars in the same year, especially two who are so overdue! In the same respect, with Christian Bale and Mahershala Ali expected to get their second, all four acting awards matching in this way seems unlikely!

I've opted for a late-night screening of The Favourite tonight, I'm really excited to see it! Based on all the hype and awards buzz, I'm very excited to finally be able to join the praises if I enjoy it as much as everyone else seems to have done!

Based on all the hype and awards buzz, I'm very excited to finally be able to join the praises if I enjoy it as much as everyone else seems to have done! I went to a 6pm showing tonight. It's wonderful! I take back what I said before and will ignore the odds, and hope all three women will be nominated. |
