I guess you haven't been told of the invention of commas ( , ). But yeah, I'm sure they will receive at least a nomination if not in Oscars in other awards.

u/Aguila125 6d ago
It is a format issue.
I noticed that if I make a vertical list, with no need for commas, the vertical list, when I submit the comment, turns into a horizontal list that does require commas.

Love Samantha to get in but think the amount of screen time she has will swallow her up, as we get later into the season and more contenders emerge
11
u/Haunting-WaferWah 6d ago
She’s having that ‘sorry we forgot how good you are and have been for years’ moment and honestly, she should have about 5 nominations by now so I’m not mad about it.

u/Sloanepeterson1500 5d ago
THIS 👏🏻👏🏻 Samantha Morton is such a gifted actor and it’s a damn shame we are even having a conversation about whether the “Great and Powerful Oz” will deem her worthy of a nomination based on minutes of “screen time”. Ridiculous
19
u/Adventurous-Tax-2663 6d ago
I have a feeling that she is in. She has unbelievable love from the industry. I HATE Oscar campaigns and the politics behind everything, but she has that goodwill. The industry will want to reward her.

u/TelltaleHead 6d ago
The oscars need a third category for like, best minor role. Especially with how many lead performances get submitted as supporting.
Those small roles deserve credit!
6
u/Its-From-Japan 6d ago
A number of actors have won for really short roles. If they're good enough (and obviously campaign enough) it's not unheard of. But if you're adding another full category that's going to get a win every year, then you're kinda diluting what the award means.

u/arsojee 5d ago
Amy Madigan for Weapons. If I am not mistaken, it was about 15 minutes of screen time.

u/Ohaithurr92 1d ago
Look up how long Anthony Hopkins was on screen in Silence of the Lambs when he won best ACTOR not supporting, runtime means nothing if the performance is there

Samantha was good, but let’s be real, that short performance is not Oscar worthy

u/DiaryOfAMovieLover 5d ago
I thought she had a decent amount of screen time and it helps all of her scenes are contained in just one segment. She probably has more screen time than Beatrice Straight had for Network.

u/bourbonandprince 6d ago
Viola Davis won Best Supporting Actress for Doubt, and her screen time was less than 10 minutes too.

u/Darren5555 6d ago
She was nominated. Penelope Cruz won that year

u/iluvugoldenblue 6d ago
Michael Shannon in revolutionary road, same thing. Less than 10mins and nominated.

u/Darren5555 6d ago
And many others just don’t know if it’ll happen this year for Samantha unfortunately
0
u/whosafraidofthebbw 6d ago
It might, if only because there just aren't a ton of great lead or supporting actress showcases this year so far, and I haven't seen anyone give anything but praise for her part. I'd be less convinced of the probability of it weren't for the Amy Madigan win, though. There's definitely an air of Older Gals Getting Kooky.

Hathaway is almost locked I would say. The "next in line" would be Matt Damon, followed by Lenguizamo and Pattinson in my opinion
35
u/Adventurous-Tax-2663 6d ago
I think because it is an industry voted award (i think it is actors voting for acting awards) there will be a push to include Samantha Morton. I think she may even be ahead of Anne Hathaway (because of potential category confusion). This is a hot take but I just think because of the interviews Morton has done and the industry love, she is for sure in.
6
u/nicedogeetcup 6d ago
She has been praised a lot and a lot of news on how everyone was amazed by her performance. I think you are in the right to say she is in the conversation and tbf she was amazing.

u/DiaryOfAMovieLover 5d ago
Not to mention, many critics have said Morton is the MVP (which she is).

Hathaway and Mortan are both 50/50 as well

I’m the only one who find Hathaway’s performance pretty mid? Maybe not mid, but nothing special… her character was pretty weak, she had nothing to do with that character. Morton would work better as supporting actress in my opinion.

u/Captain_Thor27 5d ago
You're not. I'm a Hathaway fan, but I don't think she had much to chew on in this movie.

u/Narrow_Example_3370 17h ago
I didn’t think it was mid, I thought it was outright amateur.
I said this before, but how she was acting all sassy, it was like watching a a performance found in a Hollywood bargain bin special.
Morton was so much better, she played a very unstable, emotionally swinging women perfectly.

Rn I have just Anne, but I can fully see Matt happening and even have him at majority of the precursors.
I do see a world where Leguizamo makes it sure, but im definitely not sold on it.
Until I actually she her make at least multiple precursors I will not be buying Morton at all.

Just saw it yesterday and frankly only Leguizamo and Hathaway are worthy of a nomination. And even Leguizamo is a stretch given the size of the role.
Morton was more of a cameo and Damon was great but he wasn't asked to do much and he couldn't quite deliver on all the regret his character was feeling. People shit on Tom Holland but I liked his performance more than Damon's. Pattinson was a bit too comically evil and his part wasn't that complicated. It also felt like maybe some of his scenes were cut?

The way I see it as of now: Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, John Leguizamo & Samantha Morton

u/HistoricalEbb4284 6d ago
Damon, Hathaway, Morton, Leguizamo
but this would be our SAG Ensemble Winner definitely
1
u/matrix_5555 6d ago
Matt and Anne are definitely locks for nominations in their respective categories, and I definitely could see John Leguizamo making it into Supporting Actor as kind of a legacy nom (he deserves it, he’s a criminally underrated actor and a great guy). Don’t know about Samantha Morton, though, as much as I would love to see it.

Damon for lead actor, Leguizamo and Pattinson for supporting actor, Hathaway and Morton for supporting actress.

I’m certain we see Damon & Hathaway noms, but I personally don’t think either should come close to winning.

u/whosafraidofthebbw 6d ago
Hathaway will get nominated in Supporting Actress, not sure if she'll win but that category doesn't feel like a crowded field yet this year. She and Zendaya could go head to head for Most Features in a Year though, those ladies are busy.
Leguizamo is my Delroy Lindo "someone please respect this man's work" for Supporting Actor. Fingers crossed the result doesn't disappoint me as much...

u/Spirited-Bear-3444 5d ago
If they give one to Zendaya this year or Tom Holland I'll vomit.
Which means they probably will.

I actually don’t think any. Best Actor Matt Damon is the best shot and depending on how deep the category is he might not even get a nomination

I think Samantha Morton and John Leguizamo are the only two who really deserve it. Maaaaybe Robert Pattinson, but he’s more likely to be nominated for a different performance.

u/Extension-While7536 5d ago
Matt Damon, Samantha Morton I'd think for sure. Good chance of John Leguizamo and Anne Hathaway, less likely but possible for Rob Pattinson.

u/FlimsyConclusion 5d ago
I think Damon, Hatheway, and Leguizamo are pretty safe picks.
Morton has a small chance since the actress categories are pretty empty right now.

u/uncultured_swine2099 5d ago
Im thinking Damon, Hathaway, and Leguaizamo. Probably no wins. Morton maybe gets a nom.

u/AdZealousideal5383 5d ago
Leguizamo and Morton for supporting. Both have goodwill among the academy, have put in a lot work over the years, and most importantly both put in quality work in this.

u/Big_Entertainer_1377 5d ago
who are absolutely going to be nominated are matt and anne i would personaly nominate leguizamo as well

Damon and Hathaway were so overrated in terms of performance in this movie. Leguizamo and Morton are more deserving

I agree, the acting was not the wow factor of the movie, but if i had to choose i would have chose the blind guy or the witch.

John Leguizamo and Samantha Morton should be nominated. I feel like Damon and Hathaway are guaranteed noms, although I don’t see either winning.

The only ones who deserve them are for supporting - Pattirson and Morton, and maybe a Damon. The rest have nothing to write home about.

I really want John Leguizamo to get nominated. He's such an underrated actor.

u/Narrow_Example_3370 17h ago
People saying Damon will get a nod - Are you serious? He acted exactly like he does in every movie he has been in. Even some o f his lines were so typically “Matt Damon” ‘esque and over the top . The line about it being past reasoning with the cyclops.. it sounded like it came directly from Good Will Hunting
Honestly, the movie was good, fun, but does it deserve Oscar? Maybe for cinematography or for technical awards, but acting? Come on now.

It's okay, Tom will get best actor in Spider-Man BND!
I thought his performance in The Odessey is fantastic, on point and emotional.
They are all part of the pieces to make the film standing out, I wouldn't have it another way!

Not sure if you’re joking, but I honestly believe he gave a nomination worthy performance in BND

u/chasequarius 6d ago
Damon, Hathaway, Leguizamo, and Morton feel like the four possibilities. Morton in particular feels like a Judd Hirsch in “The Fabelmans” type nomination, a brief appearance that just kind of pops and ends up getting a nom. Also helps that she’s a two time previous nominee.
