Best supporting actress for Ex Machina:http://austinfilmcritics.org/awards/2015-awards
Ex Machina is best first film and it's in their top ten.

http://criticstop10.com
5. Ex Machina (187 lists; 16 top spots)

Manohla Dargis has Alicia among her nominees for Ex Machina: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/03/movies/oscars-2016-and-the-nominees-should-be.html

If Rooney Mara and/or Alicia Vinkander end up being nominated here, it would seem one or the other's Oscar to lose, but that's not what I'm predicting. I'm thinking Mara gets in for lead, and Vikander's even more confusing situation ends up having her nominated here — but for "Ex Machina," not "The Danish Girl." Vikander got a Globe nomination (and a few critics' notices) for "Ex Machina," in which she has a much more genuinely "supporting" performance. That has her competing against category confusion and herself, which could very well end up making her lose out altogether. She also can't get nominated in the same category twice in the same year, so whichever of her performances gets the most votes is the one that counts. Since her "Danish" votes will get split between here and best actress, it seems within reason to think it'll be "Ex Machina" that ends up landing her the nomination.
Nominee Predictions: Joan Allen, "Room" ,Jennifer Jason Leigh, "The Hateful Eight" Rachel McAdams, "Spotlight" Alicia Vikander, "Ex Machina" Kate Winslet, "Steve Jobs"

Matt Charman's script with the Coen brothers for "Bridge of Spies" is the favorite for one of those last slots, but watch out for the likes of "Ex Machina" (Alex Garland), "Straight Outta Compton" (Andrea Berloff, Jonathan Herman, S. Leigh Savidge & Alan Wenkus), "99 Homes" (Bahreh Azimi, Ramin Bahrani & Amir Naderi), "Trainwreck" (Amy Schumer) and "Son of Saul" (Laszlo Nemes & Clara Royer). The screenwriting branch is definitely known for supporting small indies or foreign films.
Nominee Predictions: Matt Charman, Ethan Coen & Joel Coen, "Bridge of Spies" Alex Garland, "Ex Machina" Quentin Tarantino, "The Hateful Eight" Josh Cooley, Pete Docter & Meg LeFauve, "Inside Out" Tom McCarthy & Josh Singer, "Spotlight"

Like other critics,Bradshaw,Brooks and Shoard prefer her performance (probably it's the only thing they liked about the movie): http://www.theguardian.com/film/video/2015/dec/23/joy-heart-of-the-sea-danish-girl-video-reviews

Alicia looked gorgeous at the Palm Springs IFF last night, there are tons of pics at Getty [emoji2]

Those who claim she and Michael are in a PR relationship continue to be proved wrong as they didn't flaunt their relationship on the red carpet and it seems they didn't attend the afterparty either. Here's a small insight reported by Deadline today:

"Vikander , first up on stage, thanked Mutrux , director Tom Hooper and co-star Eddie Redmayne before acknowledging members of the transgender community for being so helpful in her research. Her allegiance was torn between this table and one right next to it for Universal’s Steve Jobs which happened to have her boyfriend Fassbender and his co-star Kate Winslet (who presented his International Award). After both had gotten their trophies they disappeared into the night. Vikander told us she and Fassbender wrote their acceptance speeches while playing Yahtzee on the plane ride into the desert."

Cute! [emoji2]

I'm not crazy about the dress but she looked very happy last night :) I'm sure they went straight back to their hotel because they have Q&As to attend I'm the morning. A shame not to get any pics from the after party though!

I think I may be in a minority but I liked her dress, think the colour really enhanced her gorgeous complexion and hair.

I don't think either Alicia or Michael are that keen on after parties, I'm sure you're right and when they left early they headed to their hotel to get some much needed sleep!

Thanks for posting BagBerry

Alicia was asked what she plans on wearing at the Golden Globes:
“I have an idea,” said Alicia Vikander slyly, wearing Erdem for the night. The Danish Girl star offered one clue: “It’s like romantic-meets-structured.”

That's what I thought they did with this dress. They went for the full on feminine, romantic look. Pink frilly dress, curly hair, delicate jewellery. I'm usually not a fan of pink anything but I find this look worked for her.

Ok, I've seen The Danish Girl tonight and it's really good. Now I understand why it's getting all that buzz. I even liked Matthias' smaller part as he could've easily played it more predatory and evil trying to sneak into the relationship. I have to say Amber Heard is really milking her part versus appearances for promo.

I've seen it too. I fell completely in love with Matthias' character, makes me want to check out more of his work. I kind of wish he would have played against Alicia in Tulip Fever as it was originally planned.

How did you rate Alicia's performance in comparison to her other performances this year?

You really need to watch De Rouille et d'Os (Rust and Bone) with him and Marion Cotillard. He's amazing in it! Also Blood Ties and Bullhead which was his breakthrough film internationally since it got nominated for an Oscar. I can't wait until Suite Française is released here.

I think she was really good. She definitely deserved the nominations she's got so far but I also understand why people say she's stealing the show from Eddie. Eddie is good but Alicia is better. Maybe it's just my impression but Eddie played it very stereotypically feminine, a bit over the top sometimes.
