I literally never even brought up Kidman or Watts until you did but ok, I'm pressed??? Yep! Funny! But it couldn't be less true. My fave is experiencing some of the best reviews of her career currently in an acclaimed film, and is about to star in one of the most hotly anticipated shows on television.

Nobody: Literally nobody: Not a single soul: You: Out of the gajillion flops under Watts’ belt, and despite the fact that she’s pretty terrible most of the time, THIS RANDOM REVIEW SAYS—

You mean it won’t get acclaimed for it’s acting? I agree! Loudest Voice is going down as yet another Watts flop while Kidman is going to be competitive for another Emmy and slay in this. Sorry ‘bout it. An Emmy for a non TV Movie? What?

Every time this thread gets bumped I'm reminded that this may be an actual thing that we'll be subjected to and I begin to wonder if we exist in the same reality as the characters in Serenity.

It sounds too stupid to be true and that rumor is unconfirmed as far as I can tell. Even if a scene like that was present in the script at some point I can't imagine Roach and Randolph being idiotic enough to go through with it in the final product. If they do this movie is going to totally crash and burn. The thinkpieces will never stop.

Yeah, I'm taking that with a massive grain of salt because like you said, not only do we have no confirmation that that was actually in the script, we also don't know if Roach and co. actually went through with it and filmed it at all. But the fact remains that someone typed that idea into existence, and that's enough.

Could that be a post-credits scene?? Otherwise, it's totally stupid.

I believe I read an interview with Kidman where she said she had no scenes with any of the other women in the movie. So unless she was lying or they changed their minds, I think this teaser scene was shot specifically to get all three star actresses in the same frame, so they could use their starpower to promote the film (and given how strongly the teaser was trending and viewed, I'd say it was a wise idea).
But I'm betting the teaser scene itself is highly unlikely to make the final film.

Things changed because the film is vastly different from the script and Kidman has many scenes with Robbie. Her part is the smallest of the three, but integral to driving the story and a sizable role overall. I really liked her in this fwiw, she’s better than Robbie, but her role isn’t as Oscary.

I guess Theron and Robbie are as far as this will go if it gets good reviews. Yes, just playing reaction quarterback here, it seems like it's as far as it goes. However, again just based on reactions so far, I feel that Robbie will still be nominated for OUATIH because that's a top 5, possibly top 3 film, and so far it seems like Theron has got singled out more. Not to say Robbie hasn't been mentioned because she has certainly the first few tweets made me wonder if Robbie could possibly be a threat to Dern and Lopez, but then things shifted towards Theron more, imo. I don't think she has enough to win even though she's getting raves. If she was playing anyone but Megyn Kelly I think that voters would have no problem awarding her a second Oscar, but I still think Zellweger has got this. I sort of want Joker and Megyn Kelly to win together just to see all the discourse that it would inspire, but it will probably be Joker and Judy Garland winning together.

I'll wait for the reviews to predict what Robbie's best bet is, but I am kind of skeptical about her chances for OUaTiH. Regardless, she's probably going to make it for one of the movies. I still feel like Johansson makes the most sense as the winner, but what's giving me pause is that I'm also predicting Driver and Dern right now. 3 acting wins for the same movie will be incredibly hard to achieve.

I could see that. I think she'll have better ink for Bombshell, but I think more voters would prefer to vote for her portrayal as Sharon Tate. I'm sure I will be wrong again lol. I've given up on Driver winning because Joker is too much of a juggernaut, but I still don't see Johansson being able to win even if he doesn't.

I think Theron will get in. This is one of the best and most grounded transformative performances I’ve seen in ages. I’m still shook thinking about what she achieves here. It is UNREAL how much she looks and sounds like Megan Kelly.
And Robbie will be interesting. What happens when you have an acclaimed performance in a top five film, but the (likely) consensus is that you’re much better in a lesser, albeit equally actor friendly film? To her benefit, she’ll at least avoid the studio category shuffling and potential confusion that the likes of DiCaprio, Winslet and Scarlett faced in the year they were up for multiple performances. She’s 100% supporting in both.

Charlize Theron and Margot Robbie are an Oscar revelation in Bombshell Why were Diane Lane, Andie MacDowell, Cara Delevingne and Gloria Allred at the Pacific Design Center theater in West Hollywood on Sunday evening? Those AMPAS and SAG members were on hand along with numerous industry dignataries and members of the media for the first “public” screening of Jay Roach’s “Bombshell.” And, yes, the movie’s title is more than appropriate not only for the subject matter but a trio of performances that more than live up to the hype. Official reviews are currently being embargoed until December (we’ll see how long that lasts), but we can certainly confirm the film chronicles the fall of Roger Ailes (John Lithgow) from his once lofty perch at the top of Fox News. Charles Randolph‘s screenplay is mostly told from the perspectives of Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly (Charlize Theron) and fictional segment producer Kayla Pospisil (Margot Robbie) before exploring the firecracker of events following a sexual harrassment lawsuit filed by Gretchen Carlson (Nicole Kidman). A series of events that set the stage for Harvey Weinstein’s fall a little over a year later and the beginning of the #MeToo movement. From an awards season perspective one cannot exaggerate how incedible Theron’s turn as Kelly truly is. Not only does she look hauntingly like Kelly at times, but her performance is grounded with a vocal similiarity that is simply a marvel to experience. It’s not even close to mimicry or some sort of an impression. Hours later we admit we’re still awestruck by her achievement. Moreover, Theron is a lock to earn a Best Actress nomination and in any other year, she’d be a massive frontrunner to win. That being said, it’s the middle of October and AMPAS already appears head over heals for Renee Zellweger’s transformation into Judy Garland in the indie hit “Judy.” We’d argue what Theron does is more impressive, but is it too late to slow down the Zellweger train? We’re open to the possibilities.
Robbie, who was also fantastic as Sharon Tate in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” earlier this year, is even more impressive in this picture. She makes you believe Pospisil was a real life figure in the proceedings (she is, in fact, a composite based on interviews Randolph conducted) and completely nails one of the most emotional scenes in the movie. In theory, she’d also be the top choice to win the Supporting Actress Oscar, but “Marriage Story’s” Laura Dern and (potentially) “Little Women’s” Florence Pugh have a massive say in that race. Simply put, this is arguably the best work of Robbie’s career and yes, that means she’s better here than she was in “I, Tonya.”The third member of the trio, Kidman, is very good, but is the most “supporting” of the three roles. She has a shot of earning her fifth Oscar nomination, but a lot more dust needs to settle in the category before its a given. Of course, double nominations from the same film aren’t exactly rare in this category (it’s already occured nine times this century). As for the rest of the cast, Lithgow is worthy enough to earn a Supporting Actor nomination for his role as Ailes, but that is such a competitive category this season (bloodbath is not an exaggeration) that he might not make the cut. Kate McKinnon, Connie Britton, Allison Janney, Alice Eve, Mark Duplass, Rob Delaney and Malcom McDowell (as Rupert Murdoch, no less) all provide memorable turns with sometimes little screentime. If this isn’t close to the definition of a SAG Awards Ensemble nominee, I’m not sure what is. Randolph’s smart script seems like an easy Original Screenplay nod for the former Oscar winner. That written work along with the acting ensemble and the fact it’s message will hit home to so many makes”Bombshell” seem like a likely Best Picture nominee. Roach’s directorial aesthetic is not as sophisticated as the somewhat similar style Adam McKay exhibited in “The Big Short” (written by Randolph) and “Vice,” but like those nominees the performances and the subject matter should resonate with the Academy. The already legendary Oscar winner Kazu Hiro (“Darkest Hour”) is the maestro behind the transformative makeup that turns Lithgow into Ailes. His colleagues responsible for the rest of the Hair and Makeup departments deserve a nod too (although we easily clocked Theron’s lacefront once if it’s not too late to digitally clean that up Lionsgate…). Colleen Atwood‘s costume design and Mark Richter‘s production design are probably already underrated considering the subject matter and worthy of major consideration. Richter strikingly recreates the Fox News sets and Atwood does wonders recreating the, um, unique Fox News on-air aesthetic. “Bombshell” is currently scheduled to open nationwide on Dec. 20. Considering the subject matter and potential to start a converstation about the treatment of women in the workplace you wonder if it should open much, much earlier. I mean, wouldn’t we all enjoy “Knives Out” at Christmas in stead of Thanksgiving? Is it too late for a game of flip the dates? Just a thought. theplaylist.net/bombshell-oscars-20191014/

Considering what a shite year it's been for the Best Actress category, I don't see Theron having much of an issue getting in.

Trailer 2? There was a first one already? Had no idea.
Goes without saying that this looks incredibly Adam McKay-esque beyond on-the-nose and wow the Billie Eilish music choice is just so cringeworthy in that trailer, but it does look watchable I guess and Theron in particular looks outstanding, given how surprisingly thin the leading actress field seems right now I wouldn't at all be surprised to see Charlize become one of its biggest contenders.
