Winners will be announced on January 9th
Hi everyone, I've lurking for some time and thought it was time to sign up. I've just became a fan of hers this year immediately after seeing Ex Machina and A Royal Affair.
I also wanted to thank everyone who post pics and news of Alicia.
Here's the Lorrain interview from YouTube, seems like they cut some of it.

Here's Alicia's Vogue interview. A fun read and lots of nice quotes from Eddie, Tom, Michael, Caroline Hjelt, Derek Cianfrance and Nicolas Ghesquiere.
People disagree on the fashionspot.. Honestly I find those comments more interesting because they are the ones who actually know and buy these fashion mags. I disagree with most of them about the cover,because I understand what they were trying to do with the hair,but she's too photoshopped (it's not spray tan) and over bronzed. On the other hand I like the David Sims photoshoot and the dresses she's wearing.Agree. The cover is horrendous. It's like they did this to her on purpose (do they hate her?). The commentary on ONTD is hilarious.
The cover was underwhelming,but I think the Bruce Weber photoshoot is pretty great. Harper's Bazar,Net-a-Porter and Love mag(David Sims) are my favorite covers.Thank you for the Vogue pictures. The styling and makeup are horrendous. Alicia is a beautiful young lady but the styling makes her look like a child playing dress up with her mothers clothes and makeup. Both Vogue and Dujour have been a disservice to Alicia. Harper's Bazaar was the only truly beautiful cover.
I guess she wasn't a nobody three years ago..There are many things you can do on a soundstage at Shepperton Studios, but some settings are impossible to recreate. So it was that 23-year-old Alicia Vikander, one of the most exciting actresses in Europe right now, found herself bound for St Petersburg with a small crew, including her co-star Domhnall Gleeson.
She has won it for TDG (supporting) and the Southeastern film critics award for EMHave no idea how important or influential the Detroit Critics awards are... But Alicia has 3 nominations, Michael also has one for SJ [emoji3] http://www.awardscircuit.com/2015/12/11/100265/
I'd be happy to see her nominated for Ex Machina (I'm not alone),but TDG is more accesible for the Academy. The HFTPA has clearly followed the recent critics' trends (99 Homes,Ex Machina) and her double nominations confirm that they really like her,like I had previously read in some reports. Also,I doubt that Focus Features will allow A24 to start a real campaign for her. Focus should start to campaign her in lead but it's too late. Ex Machina may have some chances for the BAFTA,but they usually follow the Academy and the category placement decided by the studio. But never say never.. Ex Machina is gaining momentum and the Academy has really made some different choices in the last years.So happy for Alicia! She's getting the recognition she deserves, Ex Machina was so good, it deserves the attention!I'm a little worried about what all of this might mean when it's time for the oscar nominations, she might cancel herself out it she's in the running for best supporting for both ex Machina and TDG, Oscars don't allow double nominations in one category. But let's worry about that when the time comes
Also happy for Eddie, Oscar, Michael and Matt
TDG also got a Best original score nomination. Nothing for Tom or the movie but that was expected.
Earlier this year, Focus Features and The Weinstein Company tried making the argument that Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl) and Rooney Mara (Carol) belonged in the supporting actress category – a rather absurd argument considering the amount of screen time both actresses fill in their respective films. The SAG Awards went along with the assertion, but not the HFPA: The Globes rightfully nominated both great performances in the lead drama actress category. It’s unlikely the Academy will follow suit, but it would be the right thing to do and open up a spot for Vikander’s other acclaimed 2015 performance in Ex Machina, which landed a Globes nod.
Alicia Vikander gets two nominations. The Golden Globes rightfully placed Alicia Vikander in lead for her work in Tom Hooper's "The Danish Girl," leaving a space in the supporting actress category for... Alicia Vikander. The actress got a second nomination for Alex Garland's "Ex-Machina," which only further confuses what's going to happen to her on Oscar nomination morning. Could she cancel herself out or catapult to frontrunner status?
Yes, the HFPA still loves to be a kingmaker. We see this more than anywhere in the television categories, where they compulsively nominate and then honor the most buzzed-about new shows, whether or not they have staying power (see: Brooklyn Nine-Nine), largely so they can say "First!" And it's a proclivity that also turns up on the film side, where there never was any doubt that they would embrace this year's "It" girls: Room's Brie Larson, Trainwreck's Amy Schumer, Brooklyn's Saoirse Ronan, Carol's Rooney Mara and especially Alicia Vikander — a European, like many HFPA members — who was nominated for both The Danish Girl (in lead) and Ex Machina (in supporting), as predicted here, if nowhere else. But, over the last few years, the HFPA's picks overall have gotten a lot less objectionable (read: star-whorish), thanks in large part to the influence of younger members
She has won it for TDG (supporting) and the Southeastern film critics award for EM
LAFCA and NYFCC are the most prestigious ones,followed by WAFCA and BSFC. She has won the LAFCA,WAFCA and she was runner-up for the BSFC. But yes,she's often receiving double nominations (supporting and leading). Also, she's runner-up on the indiewire critics poll for Ex Machina http://www.indiewire.com/survey/indiewire-2015-year-end-critics-poll/
Other mentions for TDG and TOY. Ex Machina is third among the best first features. Garland is in the top ten for best screenplay. Manohla Dargis (NYT) has also EM among her favorite movies.
Other nominations:
Chicago film critics (Ex Machina and Garland for most promising filmmaker and screenplay)
St Louis film critics (leading and supporting for EM,Garland for screenplay)
