A24 Films has set up a website where you can make up your own FYC for Ex Machina

A24 ‏@A24 Ava's latest: #ExMachina FYC posters for Alicia, Oscar & Alex! launch your own campaign at http://ava-sessions.com


What inspired A24 Films to create the site? A desire to remind people about Ex Machina, Alex Garland's critically acclaimed sci-fi indie that came out in April, and specifically the Golden Globe-nominated supporting performance given in the film by Alicia Vikander as Ava, a humanoid robot with artificial intelligence — and a gift for sketching.

I like the movement/poses of the Vogue photoshoot and the makeup, but the styling...ugh. No. The only shot I like is the Black and White.

I like the movement. She knows how to use her body/face.

I hope that all these awards (small?) are somehow a hint for coming months, if not the GG nominations are really "good enough" :D

These are all critics groups. :smile1: It's interesting that she's receiving many double nominations (best and supporting actress) and she's winning for Ex Machina.

Some recent reviews:

Vikander has the less showy role, but her character is more three-dimensional and gives the film its emotional heft. Gerda’s pain, confusion and ultimate acceptance are written all over her beautiful, open face. Gerda is an artist with a bohemian spirit, but her love for Lili trumps everything. The long-suffering but supportive wife is not the most original character in the world, but Vikander breathes new life into it.

Vikander, by contrast, brings Gerda to headstrong, confused life, even when “Trhe Danish Girl” tries to whip up a romantic triangle with the appearance of Hans, a Paris art dealer who knew Einar when they were children and who is played with agreeably caddish smolder by Matthias Schoenaerts, last seen giving Carey Mulligan the vapors in “Far From the Madding Crowd.” What with “Ex Machina,” “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” and three or five others, Vikander has had a busy year — she’s practically Chastain-ian in her ubiquity. And her earthiness saves this movie from its most refined impulses.

[Redmayne plays Lili like a saint. Yet there's sedition in the script and a showdown for the film's soul as Vikander, the stronger actor of the two, forces us to witness how much Gerda loses to give Lili life.

With Redmayne reduced to poses and smiles, Vikander wrests the movie away to show us how a truly modern woman behaves. As a portrait artist, she commands her male subjects to "yield"; as a lover, she's eager to make the first move — she even asked Einar out on their first date. Later, when her paintings of Lili are a hit, Gerda dedicates herself to her career, and their trajectories as homemaker and artist invert. Still, perversely, we can't help noticing that their marriage becomes increasingly hierarchical — practically patriarchal — with Lili forcing Gerda to submit to her terms. Gerda is ditched at dinners, abandoned at her own art shows, drained of emotional support, and thrust into celibacy. No matter what her heart, or the empathetic score, might insist, Lili can still act like a dick.

Hooper’s idiosyncratic framing aside, the film looks great. And Vikander, coming down the home stretch of her miraculous multi-movie year, is a strong, slightly subtler counterbalance to Redmayne's busyness—she radiates decency in what is, to my mind, the film’s true lead role.

Mr. Redmayne alters the angle of his neck, the rhythm of his walk, the timbre of his voice and the set of his mouth. It’s all very impressive, as it was when he traced the progress of Stephen Hawking’s neurological illness in “The Theory of Everything.” But like that much-praised performance, this one does not take us where we need to go, which is inside the character’s mind and spirit.

Ms. Vikander, in contrast, acts from the inside out, with an openness and spontaneity that is especially rare in movies like this one. Whether she is painting, smoking, embracing her husband or offering her hand to the woman who replaces him, Gerda is the one figure onscreen who seems to breathe the sharp air of reality. The others have been painted, with practiced skill and impeccable intentions, by numbers.

Aha, I didn't knew they were. Like you said, it's interesting that ExMachina take over TDG.

Even though many don't like most of the LV clothes Alicia has to wear (me included) but on the Red Carpet Fashion website Alicia was named Breakout Star of 2015

Alicia Vikander is your Breakout Star of 2015. The Swedish actress has quietly been making waves as she refines her red-carpet style, now garnering the attention that her signature looks deserve.
As a Louis Vuitton ambassador, she’s managed the brand quite well—a rarity it seems among, ahem, certain other starlets whose designer matches have left something to be desired.
Part of the secret sauce must be in the variety of Vuitton looks that she debuts—crossing the style spectrum from a charming, period-inspired ruffle gown to the height of modern elegance with a hint of edge in a white, belted design.
This is one ambassadorship that is never dull.
But, even when she’s not dressed in LV, ‘The Danish Girl’ star still impresses. Her Victoria Beckham asymmetrical black gown proves exactly why.
