I hope DiCaprio has a win coming after being snubbed for J. Edgar and Django.  With Django, it was just unfortunate that he was competing with Waltz.  If Waltz had gone lead, things may have been different.

 I joke that Leonardo DiCaprio has the Gisele Bundchen curse just like Tom Brady. :-)  He hasn't won the Oscar; Tom hasn't won a Super Bowl trophy since he married her. #teambridgetmoynahan

I just finished reading the Wolf of Wall Street book.  It was vulgar but very interesting.  There are many Oscar bait scenes, plus Martin Scorsese is the director.  It's kinda like "Wall Street" from the 80s, but I don't know if it will be as well-received in this economic climate.

I worked ridiculously hard to get that Oscar win.  I started reading one of my favorite awards sites, Gold Derby, beginning in September.  Then I listened to the podcasts on GD, Awards Daily, Awards Circuit in December, January, and February.

now i know how Nancy Kerrigan felt. that's insight into SCARY ISLAND. you have no clue what really went down.

  • DiCaprio better win soon -- he has been snubbed a lot and he's had so many outstanding performances (my personal favorites are his performances in Catch me If You Can, The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island and Revolutionary Road).  Lol on the

  •  Sorry if this is too much info, but I like talking about this.  These are the sites I read:

  • I think Leo's best chance was with Aviator, but Jamie Foxx got all the awards.  He said that "Wolf of Wall Street" is his best performance to date, so we shall see.

  • Thanks for all the info! No need to be sorry -- I love this stuff too :).

    I agree - his best chance was the aviator...he was phenomenal in it.  I also can't wait to see him in the great gatsby.

  • Great Gatsby's expected to have Academy Award nominations for the techs but not for the big categories.  It's opening at Sundance, but it got pushed from a 2013 release, and there was buzz that it might be a mess.  I found the trailer kinda d

  • Bummer.  I was hoping it would be a mega hit.  I heard about the release date being pushed back so that wasn't a good sign but still holding out hope :)

  • I guess there's a lot of gushing over August: Osage County.  Blah.  I will probably end up seeing it, but I have NO excitement over a fourth Oscar for Streep or second for Roberts. On the other hand, I heard supporting performances by Nicholson

  • On Awards Circuit, these are the frontrunners for each category.  I know that Steve Carell and Julia Roberts/Margo Martindale are considered strong contenders for Foxcatcher and August: Osage County respectively.

    Best Actor: Georg

  • Wow those are some big names in thosr categories.  Naomi Watts is another one who I hope wins an Oscar soon.  She's too good to not have one on her shelf already.
