Why Gaga Will Sweep the Awards: A Theory

Your theory would be true if we were talking about a fan-voted award, like People's Choice Awards.

But many of these movie awards are voted by industry experts and filmmakers who have been in the business for a long time, I don't think they care about taking selfies with Gaga.

Besides, being nominated already means the actor will attend the ceremony. It does not mean they have to vote her as the winner.

We'll see.

I do agree with this.... televised award shows will want good ratings and a big star being nominated draws bigger numbers...

I think the Oscars will definitely want to make it into a Gaga show, but being already nominated will give them viewers, so a win depends on the voters.

That's not true, though. The Critics Review Board announced their winners this week. Gaga won and will be the only actress to show up to the awards ceremony in January. There won't be other "nominees" there because there weren't any nominees period.

This theory doesn't apply to The Oscars-- only to the smaller guilds that award people and only hold ceremonies for winners.

I just hope they don’t not nominate her just because it is so expected that she will get a nod or even win. They sometimes like to make statements.

You’re theory just means she’s getting nominated to all these awards, not that she’ll necessarily win them all. 

Nope, not at all what I said. Many of the guilds have ceremonies for ONLY the winners, as they are announced AHEAD of the ceremonies. NBR, NYFCC, LAFCA, etc. etc. I'm not talking about the big awards like the Oscars, GGs and SAG.

The smaller awards this theory makes sense, but as others have said I don't think the Academy would care about that.  Has anyone seen the other contenders for Best Actress or Motion Picture? Obviously, we all want Gaga to win, but I haven't seen any of the others that are getting Oscar buzz, so can't speak to how I think it might go. Anyone have thoughts about those films?

She could snag the acting award, but ASIB is definitely not winning Best Picture. That’s Greenbook and you can bookmark me

I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill.

Yeah I was referring to other awards that had nominees and winners, since the thread was referring to all major acting awards, right?
