Commentary - Well Cate Blanchett is out as Where'd You Go Bernadette moves to March 2019 (ouch, must not be great), and Rio, now called Let It Fall Back, is moving as well so there goes Michelle Williams. I still have Glenn Close, Viola Davis, and Saoirse Ronan in, and all three still seem really strong. I also still think that Melissa McCarthy has a sleeper on her hands with her dark turn in Can You Ever Forgive Me? Finally, the first trailer for On the Basis of Sex, and the resurgence of popularity for RBG could spell Oscar gold for previous nominee Felicity Jones. Beyond those five, I am looking closely at Olivia Colman for The Favourite (and maybe her co-star Emma Stone if she gets bumped up). Lady Gaga is getting a lot of buzz, but I am still a bit weary of the film's awards prospects. Toni Collette and Charlize Theron are both big potentials from the first half of the year, and Emily Blunt has two big possibilities. Also look out for Renee Zellweger's comeback as Judy Garland, Keira Knightley, newcomer Kiki Layne, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kathryn Hahn, and the duo from Disobedience.
