Performances with all 4 major precursors but missed Oscar?

I don't know if this counts as he got in anyway for a different film, but Leonardo DiCaprio scored at those four awards groups for The Departed.

Hugh Grant - "Florence Foster Jenkins"

For me, Cotillard's is the greatest performance of the bunch (though Hanks would be my second choice). So glad the Academy recognized her for Two Days, One Night.

Hanks, Balfe, and Gaga were truly shocking snubs. Thompson, too. The others less so IIRC. 

Adams should be among the big shockers too with her being in a hit BP nominee which received all sorts of nominations.

Ranking by performance:

1. Gyllenhaal
2. Hanks
3. Gaga
4. Balfe
5. Adams
6. Swinton
7. Cotillard
8. Bruhl
9. Thompson
10. ChaLOLmet (the only one here whose snub at the end was an utter delight to me)

I mean, that's just an evergreen statement as far as Streep was concerned. But I wasn't surprised; the buzz on August: Osage County was strong and before Blanchett's film dropped, people were seriously talking up a fourth Oscar for her based on the strength of the stage pedigree. Any time she had a film in contention, you always had to pencil her in for a spot that she was taking from someone much more deserving. It was more of a shock when she would miss.

It was Dench who was the latecomer that year. I remember some moderate debate on category placement for Adams but in the wake of Silver Linings, it was pretty much figured that O. Russell would double down on getting nods in all four acting categories. But Philomena had an initially tepid response when it premiered and a lot of people cast it aside, but Weinstein + Dench should never have been underestimated, and unfortunately it was Thompson who was vulnerable.

I haven't seen many of these. And other dont remember. I think there are other than just artistic reasons.
I haven't seen Leto because Im tired of the Aids films. But Bruhl was much better than the other nominees. Why he wasnt. Because his studio hadnt camaign for him. Not only but also he was the one who should be snub in order to give Letos win legitimacy.

Gaga I guess was a kind of Bruhl plus she is hated by the Academy. Finally Chastain won for lifetime TV films with awful critics and poor box office. That implies the decadence of Academy Awards.


Emma Thompson and probably Catriona Balfe is more because Meryl Streep and Judi Dench had not friends in campaign for Oscar noms. Doesnt matter if both received in their life over 10 oscar noms.

Tom Hank's for a certain time was nominated for everything he made. And the Academy gets tired about him. Not only but also he gets tires of being nominee and campaigned more for his co star.

Cotillard I guess was in a obscure foreign language film. More she received precursors for lack of competitors. Unless you are Penelope Cruz and directed by Pedro Almodovar. The performance and film should be excellent.
Swinton was in a Lynne Ramsay film that are obscure by the Academy. Chamalet another obscure film plus too young for Academy taste and Gyllenhaal he isnt beloved by the Academy

Here's your list of performances to receive all 4 for 2022...

Austin Butler
Colin Farrell
Brendan Fraser
Bill Nighy

Cate Blanchett
Viola Davis
Michelle Yeoh

Brendan Gleeson
Barry Keoghan
Ke Huy Quan

Angela Bassett
Kerry Condon
Jamie Lee Curtis

Which of these do you feel is most vulnerable?

None of them. I say they are all in.

Ranking the ones I've seen:

Marion Cotillard, Rust & Bone (galvanizing, even for Cotillard)
Tilda Swinton, We Need to Talk About Kevin (brilliantly pitched portrayal of a morally dubious yet sympathetic character)
Tom Hanks, Captain Phillips (relaxed, lived-in performance with moments of genuine pathos)

Amy Adams, Arrival (lovely, soulful work from a generally middling performer)

Jake Gyllenhaal, Nightcrawler (try-hard, Oscar-baity performance)
