Yeah, I'm just going to go with my 10 favorite, I'm too lazy to do strategic and I've done these before where it backfires on me. You can never really tell how beloved something is. I left off Riva though, cause, like, really?

I basically went with my ten favorites, but I left off Eddie Redmayne, because I assumed there were more than 2 people who liked him.
I HOPE.
?!
(My list had 6 women and 4 men. And 2 members of the cast of Cloud Atlas!)
You can do it, Naomi! You're...
ONLY 10 EASY STEPS AWAY FROM OSCAR!
1.) Bankrupt small, independent distributor via massive Oscar campaign. Failing that, proceed to...
2.) Cash in King Kong residual checks to pay for FYC advertisements from Kinko's.
3.) To avoid getting sent straight to VOD, attach entire film as a "trailer" to another film people actually want to see. And then...
4.) Try to do it Lahti-style and win Academy Award for Best Short Film.
5.) Avoid telling a story that everyone already knows by adding exciting details and/or gratuitous editing.
6. Carefully and patiently weather the wrath of film critics/the royal family/the tabloids/Diana-maniacs for trying to add said details. (Good luck!)
7. Find all of the boxes with "August: Osage County" screeners and slip in self-made cam bootleg from premiere screening at Lowes...the hardware store.
(Not Loews, the movie theater -- too expensive!)
8. Trick octogenarian Oscar voters into thinking that you are, in fact, a real princess. (Hey, it worked on Eva Marie Saint!)
9. On Oscar night, have camera crews come to Nicole's house, Joan Crawford-style, so you can win and keep your day job.
10. OSCAR!

I think he's on my list as a strategic vote. Not someone deserving of top 25, but definitely top 50.
Will Oscar have Riva Fever?
Hopefully a few other people remembered James Badge Dale from Flight. There's still a little time left to vote!
Sometimes, I guess there just aren't enough rocks.
Also, I hope someone else voted for Jennifer Ehle.

What exactly did she do in ZDT, besides act unevenly and go in and out of a crappy accent?
:hater:
But Chastain was amazing!

Ehle was good in her final scene but was so uneven before it. It made me sad.
Yeah, I looooove Zero Dark Thirty, but I don't get the strong praise for Ehle or even Clarke. Clarke was better, but I've talked to some who thought he was robbed of a nomination and am just like 'What'?
Ehle was good though a tad over eager (maybe it was suppose to reflect the character she was playing but still, I couldn't help but notice it.) When she really deserved it was in Contagion where not only she was very effective, she had a critical role and stood out among the competent star cast.
Yeah, she was the MVP of Contagion for my money.
Sent.
I second this. I thought she was kinda awful actually.
