umm but that’s michelle yeoh’s award

[ginainabottle]

It worked for Jennifer Lawrence, might work for her. Regardless, the only Michelle I'll be rooting for is Yeoh 💜

[qween_tartii]

Olivia Colman too (i love her to pieces, but that was not a lead role c'mon now)

[shangri__la]

Michelle Yeoh must be PISSED.

[big_ang]

why would she? williams doesnt stand a chance against yeoh...

[shangri__la]

Because it’s already a stacked race. If the Oscars decide to be dumbfucks and think Williams is ~due, then Yeoh is fucked. It should be Yeoh vs Blanchett with Yeoh taking the win.

I'm just worried Williams is going to get the Leo Due push.

there is no way in hell you could convince me that Michelle Williams is more ~due for an Oscar than Michelle Yeoh and anyone who thinks otherwise needs to be DJ Jazzy Jeff'ed out of the Academy

i still cant believe jen from dawson creek has THAT film career. a lil bit iconique if u ask me!

[hiimtish]

Dawson would lose his gd mind over this

[cassismagic]

[peddlestools]

What's his financials looking like with all those children tho

[squirrels_oh_no]

Girl you really want to go against one of the most stacked categories in years? For what reason? She's gonna be lucky to even get nominated... Have you seen the reviews for TAR?

Venice went gaga over TAR

[squirrels_oh_no]

So did Telluride LOL. Supposedly Focus didn't take it (or anything) to TIFF over something that happened last year with Belfast but IDK exactly what that was. It'll be at NYFF week after next and then it comes out on the 7th (limited - 28th wide).

[vanilla_09]

not taking it to TIFF doesn't even make sense since TIFF usually is a good indicator for at least oscar norminations.
