Magnolia Pictures Buys 'In the Fade' Propelling Diane Kruger Into Oscars Race
This is sort of a coincidence. In the Wonder Wheel thread, I was just writing about what newbies or non-winners there might be in the mix, and then I saw this news right after. I read a lot of bashing of her after she won at Cannes, but that's only in Internet circles and would likely not affect her chances in real life. She's certainly on their radar, and if her career had kept ascending after Inglorious Basterds, it felt like it was only a matter of time before she got a "welcome to the club" nomination. Plus, to me she fits the mold of a Best Actress nominee than Sally Hawkins, sorry to say, because I'm sure she'll be featured on a lot of fashion magazines and be on a lot of best dressed lists. She'll also campaign her ass off.
I guess the quality might not be there with the film, but this category is the friendliest to lone nominations. If Claire Foy goes supporting, which I expect that she will, Kruger seems like a good choice for the newbie if there is one this year.
