Forum Oscar Poll Results – June 2015: Carol Leads the Way, Joy Close Behind

The results of the Forum Oscar Polls for June are up and The Weinstein Company‘s Carol leads every category this month; Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay top spots are all held by the film but some by slim margins. Best Picture and Best Director are a close race between Carol and 20th Century Fox‘s Joy and that film’s lead actress Jennifer Lawrence is 2nd behind Blanchett at the moment, where she’s been since the beginning of the race. That’s largely because Joy is still currently an unknown quantity (we don’t even have a single production still) whereas Carol has been seen and recognized, most notably with Rooney Mara’s Best Actress win at the Cannes Film Festival this summer. But watch out, Joy‘s trailer is dropping in just over a week so next month’s numbers could fluctuate wildly.

In the Best Actor category, Eddie Redmayne (The Danish Girl) and Leonardo DiCaprio (The Revenant) still continue to dominate, and also in a very tight race. But Michael Fassbender, upon the release of the full-length Steve Jobs trailer, shoots up to #3. As is with the Gold Rush Gang, Jake Gyllenhaal splits his votes between his summer boxing flick Southpaw and his as of yet undated fall (winter?) dramedy Demolition. However, unlike the Gold Rush Gang, Tom Hiddleston’s Hank Williams biopic I Saw the Light is merely in 8th place with the forums. Do they know something we don’t or is the GRG ahead of the curve?
