Louis: Going by his performance in The Prestige, do you think Andy Serkis could have played some Ernest Borgnine roles?
Louis: I indeed meant Officer K regarding the last post haha. I asked about Brando because he was in a rut before The Godfather, kind of like Depp before Black Mass, and he would've played the part during the 70s I think. And I asked about Clift because I have noticed he did have the needed intensity for the role, and him doing a 180 from his earnest characters could've been incredible.
Lastly, your 2010s director and choices for the two leads in Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison?
Louis: Your thoughts on the production design and sound mixing of All the President's Men.

Louis: I think you've started this year at the right time. Since you've been really busy of late, I don't see you doing 2013 before the Oscar nominations.

I'm hearing that Thomasin McKenzie is potentially being campaigned in Supporting for Leave No Trace, which, if true, is all-time category fraud.
Matt: She is. That's absolutely ridiculous but oh well, back to the age old argument of how she's 'supporting' the film. Unfortunately it looks like it really might walk away empty handed in terms of nominations (outside of maybe an Adapted Screenplay nom).
1. Grant (I don't even love the film but he gives an astonishing performance

And I'm almost 100% that Lone is keeping his win.
Robert:
Well now that you mention, oddly yes, particularly Marty and Dutch.
Bryan:
Carey Mulligan, and Mathias Schoeanearts directed by Doug Liman.
Luke:
Fanning - 4(Excelling once again with that ugly cry, which she deserves all the credit for pulling it off. Sadly she is a bit shafted by the narrative that seems like it is going to be a two-hander yet it defers far more often to Foster. This keeps Fanning at a distance however even with this she is compelling, as usual, in creating the sense of the character's desperation. She brings the right rawness within this however I like how she doesn't become overbearing in this creating a certain sense of confidence within the character's actions that I wish the film had allowed her to explore more of.)
Keaton's a 4.5, very Irene Dunnesque.
No.
Well, I'll admit I wouldn't want to fill up 2018 so soon, though if say you really want to secure Ethan Hawke a spot for example, I wouldn't mind too much.
Love and Death is simply a hoot. Bergman and Tolstoy might seem like a strange pair for parody, but Allen makes quite the go of it perhaps making his most overtly funny film.
Shivers is a great example of what makes Halloween so great, as a fellow very low budget horror film. There are some memorable sequences here and there as per usual for Cronenberg, but it becomes rather repetitive very quickly due to its lack of a proper narrative or really even a protagonist.
Anonymous:
The production design is just a great example of intense attention to detail in historical replication. Of only a few years off, yet they took the time to get everything just about right.
The sound mixing is an interesting thing to focus on for such a film, but it is indeed a film with some particularly impressive mixing. This is in a low key way, yet a way that is paramount to the film. This being just the scant sounds in the meeting with deep throat that create such unease, or the brilliant work in the long take scene with juxtaposition of Redford's calls against tv playing the Republican convention.

Louis cast and director for 1970's Bad Times At the El Royale?
Anonymous:
Bad Times At The El Royale 1970's directed by John Huston:
Father Flynn: Robert Mitchum
Darlene Sweet: Diana Ross
Emily Summerspring: Susan Sarandon
Laramie Sullivan: Tom Skerritt
Rose Summerspring: Melanie Griffith
Miles Miller: Brad Dourif
Billy Lee: Jack Nicholson
Louis: Your thoughts on the screenplay of The Tin Star. Kinda interesting how this film also got a nomination for its screenplay.
Lone will be extremely difficult to beat for the overall.
I saw First Man. Amazing film.
Gosling-5
Foy-4.5
Clarke-3.5
Chandler-3(I guess it's pretty much a requirement to have him in this kind of role)
Stoll-3
Everyone else is good with the roles they're given.
Louis: More detailed thoughts on Keaton in Love And Death and is she Lead or Supporting.
And I greatly appreciate it Louis.
Bohemian Rhapsody has mixed reviews as expected though I've read it's pretty bare boned which shouldn't hinder Malek greatly but if it's not a complex enough portrayal (No fault of Malek's) then I'm gonna go off the idea of wanting him reviewed. So rest assured Louis, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to review Hawke for the Alternate 10.

I'm predicting that Malek will get in, but also that it'll be more of an impressive rather than great performance.

Louis: Your rating and thoughts on Christina Hendricks in Drive? I've noticed that everyone else in the cast has a pretty good ranking in the 2011 overall, and you also have Mulligan as a 4. I'm just wondering if the film just barely missed making your Top 10 ensembles of the decade, or if Hendricks is a "Zoe Bell in The Hateful Eight" type of situation, that's all.
If Malek gets in at SAG then I think he definitely gets nominated, pretty much everything positive about his film is all him, which was expected.
Another advantage for Malek is that he seems to campaigning quite hard, he seems to be everywhere.
Bryan: Mulligan's a 4.5. She was upgraded awhile back.
RatedRStar: I reckon he'd get in ahead of Dafoe at this point.
Calvin: I don't mind him being reviewed from that perspective, if he could get a 4.5, I'll be happy.
Louis: Hawke is a must for the alternates though if Huston misses out, I'll request him later on since it's too interesting a role not to examine in further detail in future. I'll do the same for Paddy Considine in Journeyman if you see him during the alternates.
Was Mulligan a 4 for Never Let Me Go? I saw it for the first time a few months ago and thought she was wonderful in spite of the movie being crap.
Robert: She's a 4.
Luke: Even better :D
RatedRStar: He's also the lead in a high-profile television series, so that could also help his chances I think.
Robert: What'd you think of Garfield btw? The only thing I remember of him in the movie is his scream at the end, and I also didn't care much for the film.
Bryan: He’s... kind of terrible, to be honest? He falls into the same pit as the rest of the film in that he begs for sympathy rather than earn it. A lot of times it feels like he doesn’t trust the audience to sympathize with his plight and telegraphs it with mannerism. Granted, I have a feeling that’s how he was directed considering the entire ordeal is hammered down with awards-ready violins and soft lighting camerawork. Mulligan I suppose benefits from her array of reaction shots to internalize her character’s emotions that he isn’t, so I could say this one isn’t entirely Garfield’s fault.
Robert: Hhmmm I know you definitely weren't big on him in his Oscar-nominated role either but I can see your points on this one.

I'd say Malek's chances of getting in are very high despite his film being the lowest rated out of all of the contenders so far.

Michael: Your ratings for Elwes, Rourke, Mantegna, O'Quinn, Grant, Kinski, Martin, Short, Manesse and Bale.
Saw Bohemian Rhapsody. The Theory Of Everything of the 18-19 awards season. I take back what I said earlier on Malek and look forward to his likely review. I'd give him a 4.5.
1. Grant
2. Elwes
3. Manesse

Elwes: 4.5

Mantegna: 4
O’Quinn: 4.5
Grant: 5
Kinski: 4.5
Martin: 4.5
Short: 4.5
Manesse: 3.5
Bale: 4.5
Upgrades for O’Quinn, Martin and Bale aren’t out of the question.
Michael: I would love it if Bale got a 5 (My request) but that 2nd five has eluded him for a long time and I'm more confident in him getting it for Out Of The Furnace or perhaps even Vice if it turns out well.
What did you think of Au Revoir Les Enfants because I've read enough reviews saying it's the best of the 3 Children in WWII films from 1987.
1. Grant

My prediction for the second lineup is still the same.
I think what’ll push Grant into a possible 5 will be his final scene. I could possibly see Louis seeing him a bit one note for the rest of his performance, though there’s definitely a lot of nuance, but his final monologue always kills me.
I love Les Enfants but could definitely see it being more of a directorial achievement. Sticking with my predictions for now though.
I'm gonna reassess my rating predictions.
Elwes - 4.5
Rourke - 5
Mantegna - 4
O'Quinn - 4.5/5
Grant - 5
Kinski - 4.5
Martin - 4.5
Short - 4.5
Manesse - 4
Bale - 4.5/5
I will quickly change mine slightly

It's about time Bale gets a 2nd five.

5. Manasse
Predictions for the 2nd line is the same
Luke:
Keaton - (Keaton is supporting in what is such an effortlessly delightful performance from her where she thankfully gets to have as much fun as her male co-star. As proper to a Bergman protagonist really she has her own agency even when in traditional role, and Keaton is hilarious here in bringing this sort of demented intensity to the role that is always comic. She manages to be equally endearing even when completely mad in her particularly enjoyable chemistry with Allen here that is far less amorous than usual.)
Bryan:
Hendricks - 3(Not at all, she doesn't get much to do, but what she does have she does well. In being this sort of glib gun moll, then switching to a honest desperation when interrogated by the driver)
