They really let him sink his teeth into Logan.

Yes, he should. That kind of a performance gets awards attention when it's in an Oscar baiting drama. Unfortunately, he's in a great superhero movie, but, you know, a superhero movie. That won't sniff even #30 on the preferential ballot.

That won't sniff even #30 on the preferential ballot. I would argue that the three main stars - Jackman, Stewart, and Keen - all deserve serious awards consideration. We will have to see what happens in December. We might get a Mad Max thing going on here. I certainly hope it does. It packs a gigantic emotional wallop and departs from other superhero films. James Mangold and Scott Frank gave the film a great western - Shane (obviously), True Grit, The Searches - feel to it.

Yes, I agree. He's certainly better than he was in Les Miserables.
It's unlikely, though, although he might be nominated or even win for another movie partially because of the success of Logan- examples include Jennifer Lawrence in SLP (Hunger Games) and RDJ in Tropic Thunder (Iron Man)
Stewart I could actually see sneaking him if the year is weak enough- in this last race he would have stood a chance.

It's his best work to date, but I still sadly think that the stigma of it being a comic book film plus the fact that it's not an otherworldly performance (which for some reason is only necessary when the performance is in a genre film; as you said, he'd be in if it was a straight drama) will keep him out of it. I hope I'm wrong, though.

I would be ecstatic if he gets some as Theron did for MM:FR

I wouldn't have a problem with it either. This felt more serious than a typical superhero movie.
It was a western with real stakes. We'll see if this can stick around a la Mad Max.

Well Deadpool made a serious run last year and this has the type of performances the Oscars might go for. I'd love to see it happen.

He was great yes, but I don't consider him nom-worthy.
I already saw 3-4 better leading performances alone this year. But yeah its possibly the best X-Men related performance.

Agreed about all actors but I don't see Mad Max situation because Miller was getting GOAT reviews that Mangold isn't. he is praised but not THAT praised. Also, MMFR had much stronger MC and didn't commit a narrative faux pas halfway through that made the second half of the movie, but in particular the third act, problematic to some. switch to new villain plsu overload of new, underdeveloped characters that nobody cared about. However, if Greatest Show on Earth is a hit, especially a critical hit, Logan may help Jackman as a banner year type of a deal.

If Deadpool can get this ridiculously far then a far more serious movie with far better actor in lead performance - playing a character the audience bonded with for almost 20 years - should go even further

He's great in it, not sure about a nod and it's definitely to early. But his work here and the success of the movie itself could push him for his other, more oscar friendly vehicle of the year, The Greatest Showman.

He's certainly brilliant, but one thing working against him (aside from the genre) is that much of the impact of his performance comes from it being cumulative. Even with the influx of younger members, we don't know if AMPAS has the same relationship with Jackman as Wolverine as the general public.
Also, Jackman has 'The Greatest Showman' coming out this year, which seems much more Oscar friendly (though remember when we all thought Ryan Gosling would be nominated for 'The Ides of March' before he started winning awards for 'Drive'?)

People keep bringing up Deadpool, but did anyone seriously think he was going to get a BP/Actor nomination?

That'd be fucking sick if he did. He was great in this.

Don't see it happening, but that would be well-deserved and inspired as hell.

It's a long shot but it's not impossible, a shame it was released this early in the year which is usually a big blow against Oscar chances

Since there's a stigma against comic book films, it gives the film more time to get voters to see it who may otherwise be uninterested and helps it to stand out as being one of the best early releases. If it came out in, say, July then it would be lost in the shuffle among all the other blockbuster films and if it came out in October then voters would probably skip it over the more awards baity releases.

Not for Logan. He has a biopic coming out in Dec that is right up his alley.

I loved him in it, but I'd rather see Sir Pat get a nod. He was just as good in his supporting role. I hope they don't forget about this film when it comes time to campaign for things.

That's a good point! Also just found out Stewart was never nominated, which probably increases his chances here, so the studio should really push for both of them and campaign hard

He should, but he won't. The academy has a genre bias, which will hurt his chances at an actual nom.
I could see him getting a nom for The Greatest Showman on Earth instead, though. Fox is clearly trying to push that film for Oscar consideration, considering its December release.
