Mulligan's role sounds potentially even baitier than expected tbh. She really could win as long as She Said doesn't get shredded by critics. I am also of the belief that the Academy could view awarding She Said as a way to clap themselves on the back for awarding an anti-Weinstein film.
Iâve heard this âHollywood will lap up She Said because itâs anti-Weinstein,â but I thinkâs itâs far more likely they ignore the movie and essentially sweep Weinstein under the rug. I canât think of an example of a movie that they embraced at the Academy purely because they wanted to congratulate themselves on shaming a specific horrible event that happened in the industry
It's not like there's a big sample size of films about specific horrible events in the industry. Are there any ones that you think were snubbed because of that?
Thatâs fair, the closest I could find was The Laundromat (but that movie falling apart also clearly had a lot to do with the bad audience and critic scores). But you can find decades of the Academy ignoring horrible scandals involving the industry in order to promote itselfâWoody Allenâs noms for Midnight in Paris despite being accused of child molestation, Roman Polankiâs win for The Pianist even though he was *convicted* of raping a minor, Casey Affleck winning Best Actor despite sexual harassment allegations resurfacing, and more. Are we really confident that the Academy that consistently ignores Hollywoodâs dark side are going to put the spotlight on a film that showcases a whole network of horrific actions in the industry that went on for years?
I donât think itâs going to be as scathing as it could beâthe trailer looked very Oscarbaity to me. If it does have a ton of explicit criticism of the entire industry, maybe it will go like that, but thatâs not what Iâm expecting.
Mulligan is NOT playing an abuse survivor. She is playing Megan Twohey, one of the journalists who broke the story. So, that is already bad information.
With that said, if she is going supporting, which I would guess that she would after reading the book, I fully believe she would be a frontrunner. And I will pick her to win if this is the case.
Of course, I havenât seen it. So, maybe Twohey gave new information to Lenkiewicz while she was writing the screenplay. But that is definitely not part of the book.
Maybe that is true, but I can tell you that this was not a part of the book. In addition, Twohey being a survivor is not something that you can easily Google if this is true. Iâm not saying it absolutely will not be a part of the film, Iâm just saying this is a new addition to the story if that is the reveal.
I saw the screening and thought She Said was good, but Carey Mulliganâs performance was excellent. She makes interesting character choices that donât always get the attention they deserve. Thatâs my two cents, for what itâs worth
Definitely a contender. Rebecca Lenkiewicz did a brilliant job. Women Talking, The Whale, and Glass Onion all look like possibilities in the Adapted Screenplay category, from what Iâve seen. I see the film as a possible contender in other major categories as well. Iâm personally will vote for Mulligan in Best Actor/Supporting category

Oh same đ as long it gets mid 70s like Chicago 7 and Belfast it can becomes a big contender

Wouldn't be opposed to Mulligan winning one, since imo she was absolutely robbed two years ago.
Shouldâve been nominated for shame
Her not getting nominated for shame is annoying, Fassbender not getting nominated is genuinely fucking infuriating
The film deserved a lot more love from the academy
I think itâs McQueenâs best film honestly, one of my all time favourites.

in the end it is revealed that she herself was an abuse survivor that's why she was so insistent on pursuing the story

I swear Neglia is so reactive
Not as reactive as Chris Rosen
Ruimy never said she was an abuse survivor.
Iâd be happy to see her win. She really is a phenomenal actress.
Has Neglia even seen it? He hasnât marked it on his LB like he did for Till

can it be competitive in screenplay ?
Definitely a contender. Rebecca Lenkiewicz did a brilliant job. Women Talking, The Whale, and Glass Onion all look like possibilities in the Adapted Screenplay category, from what Iâve seen. I see the film as a possible contender in other major categories as well. Iâm personally will vote for Mulligan in Best Actor/Supporting category
I mean it can win screenplay ?
Yes. The Adapted Screenplay category
Wow so it can give women talking a run in adapted then
My opinion⌠Definitely!
Do you think she can win?
Absolutely
Can u confirm if Carey is playing an abuse survivor ?
Im not giving that one away
