DDL is always the frontrunner until he isn't.

Daniel Day-Lewis won't even be nominated.

Gary Oldman FTW. DDL already has like three or something? That's enough.

Oldman is due and looks to have the meatier role.

It would be a lovely 60th birthday present for Oldman if he were to win, but him being overdue as a narrative probably isn't going to catch on. He's only been nominated once before, and that was in 2012. It is strange how such a versatile, much-loved actor can have a career as varied and brilliant as Gary Oldman's and get such little recognition (GG aside).

Is Oldman playing Winston Churchill?

Does the image in the opening post not give it away?

It is funny, though, that we will have two Winston Churchill films in the same year. This type of thing has happened before.

Adam Sandler getting some buzz but getting a nomination from a Noah Baumbach movie is always an uphill climb, even before considering the Netflix factor

There's no way we will see Adam fucking Sandler get a Best Actor nomination at the Oscars.

DDL became a major front runner after that retirement news. If his acting is on par with his usual greatness, he's going to win and the entire award season is going to be a victory lap celebrating his career.


Not if the black/LGBT crowd has a say in it! Daniel Day-Lewis is a white man. They can't have him winning again.

Gary Oldman is getting great words for Darkest Hour.

Author:  Algren [ Tue Sep 05, 2017 7:27 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Best Actor 2017 - DDL vs. Gary fucking Oldman

Darkest Hour is going to make so little in the US whether Oldman wins Best Actor or not. I am guessing less than $25m total, unless it wins Best Picture (which I doubt) then it may make $70m or so.

However according to wiki the Academy has some kind of vendetta against Oldman, the Phantom Thread doesn't look good. This could totally be Hanks who walks away with it. Who are other contenders?

Post subject:  Re: Best Actor 2017 - DDL vs. Gary fucking Oldman

Why would they have a vendetta against Oldman? I don't think so. There is a huge British contingent to the Academy. That helps his chances.

Other contenders this year are:

James Franco, The Disaster Artist
Hugh Jackman, The Greatest Showman (though I hope he gets attention for Logan instead)
Jake Gyllenhaal, Stronger
Denzel Washington, Roman J. Israel, Esq.
Tom Hanks, The Post
Christian Bale, Hostiles
Andrew Garfield, Breathe

It's probably because of this interview he gave for Playboy, although I agree with almost all he says.

His comments about the Golden Globes are well known, and I know some members crossover with the Academy, but his comments are still clearly about the Globes, so I do not believe that will hurt his chances at an Oscar win.

Plenty of other actors should be in contention for Best Actor, but won't be for one reason or another. It's a shame that the Oscars are so predictably bland.

Someone is probably waiting until closer to the Globes to bring up Oldman's past. In a year like this, his wife filing papers over him assaulting her will surely be brought up.

Quote:
In 2001, Oldman’s then-wife Donya Fiorentino filed papers in Los Angeles Superior Court claiming that Oldman assaulted her in front of their children with a telephone.

According to the New York Daily News, Fiorentino said, “As I picked up the phone to call the police, Gary put his hand on my neck and squeezed. I backed away, with the phone receiver in my hand. I tried to dial 911. Gary grabbed the phone receiver from my hand, and hit me in the face with the telephone receiver three or four times. Both of the children were crying.”

Any chance James McAvoy could sneak in for Split? His name seems to be completely absent from any awards talk but he really did give an amazing, demanding performance that not many could pull off.

Post subject:  Re: Best Actor 2017 - DDL vs. Gary fucking Oldman

Unfortunately, there is 0% chance. Split was released too long ago. Anyway, this is going to Oldman.

If he gave that same performance in a drama you can bet he'd be nominated and maybe even win. Sadly the genre is going to hurt it. He really was fantastic though.
