Jennifer Lawrence continues to be overated and I can\’t complain bcoz every shit she has done brings her oscar nomination especially joy which is one of the worst movies and worst performances ever so I seriously hope people divert their focus from this shitty actress and see some other great actresses and pay them high

These articles are, frankly, absolutely ridiculous. Not a single performance seen, and yet here you are blabbing about what movies and performances we "might" see next year. Do you have nothing better to do with your time? Because this is definitely a waste of it.

I agree with the above commenter. Aren\’t you embarrassed to write such an article two days after the Oscars without having seen a single one of these films?

Gosh – it\’s titled "premature" – don\’t think it\’s meant to be taken seriously!!! Besides, it\’s fun to read about some upcoming films!! ��

Robin & Gavin – get a grip. This is speculation – it\’s meant to be fun. If you don\’t want to play along, then get out of the game. This article is clearly not for you — it for readers like me, who get a huge kick out of these pieces. So stop assuming that your own personal disinterest decides whether or not an article was worth the author\’s time.

Wow what hand wringing over a perfectly harmless fun article. Maybe Gavin and Robin should calm down and stop complaining over nothing.

I loved this article. It seems to be a very promising year for a lot of A-list actresses.

I hope to see some foreign performance nominated too, diversity must happen in it\’s whole spectrum.

I really want Marion Cotillard to win a 2nd Oscar, she also has Mal de Pierres, a french movie which she\’s starring and could have a lot of awards potential.

I love AMY ADAMS, but I only want her to win if it\’s 100% well deserved, not a compensatory award. I think Leo deserved 100% this year, when Amy finally wins, I want to feel this same way.

SILE: I agree with you. 4 nominations at this age is no child\’s play. But just because her movies make money doesn\’t mean she needs to get nominated for everything she is in. I loved her in American Hustle. I adored her in SLP. And she blew me away in Winter\’s Bone. But talking only about her long before her film has even released (this time, Passengers, which doesn\’t really look Oscar baity) is kind of unfair to so many actresses who deliver commendable performances year after year. All I am saying is, give credit where it\’s due. If Lawrence is good, nominate her, if not, move on. Simple! 🙂

Jennifer Lawrence will always be in the Oscar conversation especially when Lawrence has a film come out during Oscar season. The reason being, that Jennifer Lawrence is not only an incredibly talented actress who despite whatever your feelings about JOY (a film that STILL would not have made the money it did without Lawrence, and who received rave reviews even though the film did not) but also because the Academy LOVES her for the reasons I pointed out.

Honestly, you people glorify Jennifer Lawrence a lot more than you should. It\’s articles like these that get people talking about her, which in turn overshadows performances that deserve more attention.
Lawrence is great, and she\’ll get a lot of nominations, but her Joy nomination was a total B.S.
Emily Blunt (Sicario), Lily Tomlin (Grandma) and Carey Mulligan (Suffragette) delivered far better performances.
So I request you, please, please do not predict Lawrence only because she\’s famous. Predict inspite of that. And give half as much attention to other underrated actors and actresses.

Personally I love these day after Oscar looks ahead to next year\’s awards. It\’s like focusing on the NFL Draft right after the Super Bowl.

I agree…relax. This is fun. Quite frankly, the Oscars themselves have become mostly predictable enough that speculating as the nominees is the only real fun left.

God this is a dumb article, let us breathe for a while, the Oscars were 4 days ago ffs.

I agree with Cameroon; if you\’re not interested, skip the article and stop complaining. I thoroughly enjoy these types of speculative posts and I appreciate the head\’s up on the films and performances I can look forward to in the months to come.

Damn, DiCaprio giving an Oscar to Cotillard would be such a delightful moment. Even without seeing the actual film, I\’m already wishing her a win. 😛

Annette Bening should be first, she has too notable performances this year "20th Century Women" and "The Seagull" and she\’s far more overdue than Amy Adams, who does deserve one don\’t get me wrong, but Bening is far more overdue. Also Michelle Pfieffee in what could be a long-awaited comeback in "Beat-up Little Seagull" and Frances McDormand in "Three Billboards" if it gets moved up from its 2017 release date. Isabelle Huppert is releasing three interesting proyects this year and SHE\’S NEVER BEEN NOMINATED. Maybe this could be her year.

Kristen Stewart can\’t create a real character, she admitted she just tries to find roles where she can play some version of herself. It will always be a mystery why some critics praise her for just playing herself. Sils Maria is playing on Showtime right now, and after all the critics awards she won, I was expecting something other than her usual lip biting, hair flipping, heavy breathing, head shaking, mumbling lackluster performance. WTF were they thinking? You notice she was snubbed by her peers for every major award-no nomination for an Oscar, SAG, Golden Globe or Critic\’s Choice. They don\’t like her. She\’s paid a million dollars for PR to try and get back in the game, but her peers aren\’t fooled. She won\’t get any nominations for major awards this year, either. Wait and see.

Kristen Stewart seems to be doing a lot this year in film, I feel they might want to reward her with a nod. Kind of like Jessica Chastain in 2011 or even Alicia Vikander last year. I believe.

I think these articles are great. I don\’t think they\’re a waste of time because the experts at Indiewire can analyze the pedigrees of films to know what is likely to be a quality, awards contending film. Beyond just predicting who will actually get nominated, these articles signal to the readers what movies will be good and what to watch out for, simply for the enjoyment of high quality films.

What\’s funny to me is how I see the same names mentioned every year, touted to the skies and then they fail to even get a Golden Globe nomination, much less an Oscar nomination. What it tells me is they have an impressive PR rep, but not the talent to back it up. I will be watching the real quality actors and actresses who turn in performances, not PR hype.
