don’t forget Naomi Watts in ‘BLONDE’
I would add Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz for Tim Burton’s Big Eyes
waltz and michael douglas will play Reagan and Gorbachev in a frost Nixon style drama
I’m going to be updating this list at the end of February and consider all of these. Not really feeling “Jupiter Ascending” after the trailer. Feels like a blockbuster that may or may not be critically successful, but won’t have success with awards.
I would not count out Anna Kendrick and Johnny Depp for Supporting nor Rob Marshall for Directing in “Into The Woods”
They didn’t quite make the cut. I don’t doubt that either of them could pull off a nomination, it really just depends on how significant their role is. Johnny Depp as The Wolf sounds intriguing though.
I considered Christine Baranski for supporting because I feel like the evil step-mother is more of a role to evolve into as opposed to Cinderella (I’m sure Kendrick will nail this though.)
I also am not feeling much for “Into the Woods” outside of Meryl Streep who I also think will be on the bubble. Rob Marshall has had successes, but he isn’t consistent and the films subject matter doesn’t exactly scream Oscar.
Gary Oldman as best supporting actor for Child 44
Gary Oldman is consistently good. But the director/writer don’t have the strongest of resumes. “Safe House” and “Ransom” being key projects. I’ve heard good things about the source material though so who knows.
oldman defended mel Gibson
that’s the kiss of death in hollywood
Certainly Amy Adams in ‘Big Eyes’ if it’s at all good and she’s good then she’ll win on nomination No.6. Reese Witherspoon in Wild? Perhaps Laura Dern in supporting as her Mother
Definitely slid Reese Witherspoon into my 2015 Golden Globe Predictions. Couldn’t believe I hadn’t heard of it. Sounds like a baity role for sure.
Yeah it’s really early but you can lock in Christian Bale for Exodus.
I totally think Bale (a.k.a. the acting chameleon) can pull it off. But Ridley Scott films are so inconsistent, especially the more recent ones. This time last year many thought “The Counselor” would be a legit contender.

demian bicher was the ”surprise” oscar nominee
the year ryan gosling (drive) and michael fassbender (shame) were both snubbed
so i bought A BETTER LIFE on dvd
he was amazing
he deserved his nom
Gosling didn’t have much range in “Drive.” He was good, as usual, but it just wasn’t a baity role and it wasn’t a very Academy friendly movie. Everyone was predicting Albert Brooks for supporting in “Drive” until he didn’t make the cut. Fassbender wasn’t ever a serious contender either, “Shame” was just too small. Good to see McQueen and Fassbender have come back with a vengeance in 2013 with “12 Years a Slave.”
100 Yard Journey….Helen Mirren
Miss Julie…Jessica Chastain, Colin Ferrell, Samantha Morton
My Old Lady…Maggie Smith, Kevin Kline
Can see a lot coming from these, but can’t see the films standing out really.

3. Christopher Walken, Jersey Boys
