WorstBehavior 1,141 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 My prediction: 1. Sam Elliott I think he’s got the best shot. Although Mahershala Ali is the front runner, he just won an Oscar for Best Supporting just 2 years ago. The Academy are known for nominating (again & again) people who win. But they have a hard a time getting another win in such a small amount of time. Also, if you want to talk about a long overdue Oscar win, Sam Elliott has been doing this thing for over 50 years and this is his very first nomination. And well deserved. I think he’s brilliant in the film. 2. Bradley Cooper His my second choice. Christian Bale and Rami Malik are ahead of him. However, he got the biggest snubbed of this whole season by not getting a nom for Directing. This I think gives him more chances of winning for Best Actor. 3. Lady Gaga Although she’s the only one who has won an award for her role, Glenn Close is too strong of a competitor this year. This is Close’s award to lose. However, I’ll make Gaga my number one choice on this thread if she manages to get the SAG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkTheFunk 121,494 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Gaga. Not that she has a big chance anyway, but I can totally see her pulling off a surprise win (especially after the Critic's Choice tie). As far as I know Bradley and Sam haven't won anything so far.

Didn't Sam win Best Supporting Actor at the National Board Review thing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy232000 9,122 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I think Bradley had the best shot for 2 reasons: 1. Sympathy votes for his Directing snubb 2. Splitting of votes bewteen Christian Bale and Rami Malek Sam has not won any important roles this award season. However the fact that he was nominated makes it seem like the Academy is fond of him. Gaga has little to no shot at all. She will most likely win Best song, and the voters will be satisfied with just giving her that. However, the fact that Yalitza Aparicio is nominated also shows the Academy liked her (considering she is not a strong competitor this awards season). Also the hype for Roma might gain her some votes as well. This could result in a vote split between front runners Glenn and Coleman, and a few towards Yalitza. Making room for Gaga. Aint happening but its nice to wish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doncho 27,241 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Gaga I guess. Sam is not winning. And Bradley COULD surprise but Im not counting on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loopy 1,089 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 The SAGs this Sunday will be quite revealing and might at least provide some form of guidance as to the unfolding twists ahead. If Gaga pulls it off this Sunday, then I'm think 50-50 that she scoops the big one next month. If Close wins again this weekend, it's pretty much over I guess. I'm not knocking on GC for being ahead and that, she is indeed a brilliant Actress, but good Lord, her movie "The Wife" is nowhere on the radar and I'm thinking that she's winning the entire season stretch based on sheer sympathy for never getting anything her entire career, and that, drives me nuts! Considering LG gave it absolutely everything she had in ASIB ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
