I remember when the rumors first started about Michael being part of "Jobs", they wanted to start filming soon or something to that effect. I took that to mean after the start of the new year. There is no way Michael will film two movies at the same time (if filming doesn't start till spring). If he is really attached to this movie, it will either happen in January or early February at the latest. Of course, he may drop out.

I agree that we need more accurate info. Way to many rumors for this film. I would think Michael would have some project to work on in the first part of 2015 as I can't see him taking four to five months off until X-men starts filming!

Damn, seeing this list from Indiewire I came to the conclusion he has 99,9% of chances of being snubbed. It's a shame though. But he would be running for leading or supporting actor?

Michael is considered supporting and there's no way he will be nominated,sadly. The supporting category is drama\comedy and obviously it's packed. Frank has never been supported by any type of promotion or campaign and it's not GGs material.. I just had very little hope for the Spirits in the international film category.It's an Ireland-UK production,I think we'll see some nominations at the IFTAs.
However I was happy to see Frank taking the screenplay prize and the technical achievement prize for the music.


Regarding that Malick's untitled but currently (we'll se other titles..:p) known as Project V:

"Some people scoffed and had their own thoughts on what might happen, but it turns out the only accurate word about the arrival of Terrence Malick’s upcoming movies came from actress Isabel Lucas who said we wouldn’t be seeing any of them until 2015. She wasn’t kidding either. Not even one of Malick’s two in-the-works movies were shown at festivals this year, which likely means we’ll see one next year, but theatrical release could have to wait til 2016 if “To The Wonder” is any kind of model."
We'll wait..:D

Agree. But I think he would have too little time to prepare for it,I don't know..
I wouldn't exclude something with McQueen in the next months..

Apocalypse starts shooting in April. I saw McAvoy doing an interview with a Jonathan something (McAvoy sang Copacabana with Barry Manilow. It's on youtube.). Anyhoo, McAvoy was promoting a play he was starring in that would end in April. He also said Apocalypse would start in April, so I'm thinking mid to late April, maybe.

Interesting about Portman, especially from a conspiracy point of view.

I don't know if this is the reason she dropped out, but it's being reported.

I agree with you, we don't even know if Michael is actually doing this. But I also believe that he would do it if shooting started in the beginning of 2015. Let's wait and see how things will go ;)

I was thinking here and the only name that comes in my head for best supporting actor in a comedy or musical is Edward Norton in Birdman. Who else? Someone from Neighbors, Tha Grand Budapest Hotel, Top Five...? I really thought Michael could have a shot in this category, specially because Frank has 93% of approval on RT and it's still screening in US after 3 months. Anyway, it's a shame, he is so amaaaaazing in this film =)

According to goldderby.com, the top candidates are

JK Simmons, Whiplash ( he's considered to be the winner)
Ed Norton , Birdman
Mark Ruffalo, Foxcatcher
Ethan Hawke, Boyhood
Tom Wilkinson, Selma
Miyavi, Unbroken
Robert Duvall, The Judge
Tim Roth, Selma

Another site that can give you predictions is awardswatch.com. Obviously, nothing is set in stone. But those sites, as well as the trades, can give you an idea where the industry is leaning, or at least where or whom the respective studios are backing.

Magnolia Pictures are not the type of distributor to back the movies that they are involved with in Oscar campaigns. They do not even send out screeners to voters. Magnolia Pictures President, Eamonn Bowles, doesn't believe that Oscar campaigns are cost effective.

I already like Mr Bowles for this.

Ooh thanks!!! :cool:

A nomination to SAG, BAFTA or Oscar I know it 100% impossible but I was wondering to the Golden Globes, at best supporting actor in a comedy or musical. Hawke, Simmons, Miyavi, Ruffalo, etc, are all dramas performances. I can only think of Norton as a big contender. Who else was praised this year in a comedy or musical? Maybe someoe from Into The Woods, Chef, Top 5 or Neighbors?

There's info about Michael and the Jobs film in the Sony leaks.

At this point the crew at Sony was just tossing out the names of famous men ("Fassbender? Bradley Cooper?") before agreeing to watch Shame and regroup. All they seemed to agree on was the size of Fassbender's dick:

Subject: Re: I am really concerned about Fassbender

I agree with Mike.

Fassbender is not a star yet, but a really fine actor who is putting together a terrific body of work.

He was sooo good in Prometheus and X-Men.

Remember Ridley told us he thinks he's the best actor there is. Loved him.

Making Jobs great is not about casting a movie star, it's about turning in a stunning performance.

The script and the take is the star in this one.

On Nov 3, 2014, at 10:52 PM, DeLuca, Michael wrote:

Shame just makes you feel bad to have normal sized male genitalia, unless Aaron is Johnny Wad Holmes he's in for a bummer of an evening. I'd steer mark to fassbenders roles in inglorious bastards where he's basically Cary Grant, Prometheus where he's basically Peter o toole, and x men first class where he's just very very good. His role in 12 Years and his performance of it rivals Ralph Fiennes' iconic depiction of twisted, racial sadistic violence as Amon Goeth for making horror watchable. Also very good as Rochester in Cary Fukunagas Jane Eyre. I'll tell him.

But the next day she e-mailed Sorkin again to say that Boyle “seems committed to” Michael Fassbender for the part.

Sorkin replied, “This used to be an event. I don't know who Michael Fassbender is and the rest of the world isn't going to care. This is insane.” But in the exchange that followed, he wrote, “**** it. He's a great actor whose time has come.”

“That’s where I ended up,” Pascal replied.

“Yeah, if the movie’s good, he’ll be on the cover of everything and get nominated for everything,” Sorkin conceded.
