I'm also just not feeling Michelle Williams in the role. She just looks nothing like Marilyn and sounds nothing like her; it'll have to be an incredibly amazing performance just to be convincing. I`m so with you on this! Marilyn`s USP was her flirtatiousness, charm , her sex appeal - all three which Michelle lacks. She`s a great actress to be sure but she lacks the ability to play both - the fun + vulnerable side of Marilyn. I can see her doing the emotional stuff well but I don`t see capturing the character completely. But in the end this movie is sort of made for the oscars and it`s a Weinstein film so we can be assured it will get 5+ noms including Best Actress.
I`m getting a bad feeling about Keira. This will be a tough category this year since Meryl and Glenn have already grabbed spots. Spot #5 will probably be a complete surprise .
Armie Hammer getting a nomination will be nice to see :)
Yeah Leo is certainly looking desperate but gah the man is overdue! I don`t care what he does as long as he wins soon!
Michelle is a great actress but she just doesn't really fit Marilyn at all, and sometimes even good actors can't overcome miscasting. Like she just seems like such a modern/gritty actress that it's really hard for me to believe her in this glamorous period setting.
I'm assuming that Viola Davis will easily get in if she is campaigned in lead. So yeah, that's Meryl, Glenn and Viola for the veterans. That leaves two spots for younger actresses - it'll be between Rooney Mara, Elizabeth Olsen, Michelle Williams and Keira I think. I can't say Keira's chances are good though cause her reviews are so divisive.
I've seen The Help, The Ides of March, Midnight in Paris so far. I still need to see Moneyball but I'm not that into sports movies.
