Academy Awards 2012 nominees predictions - UPDATES

With the first awards nominees and winners, what I predicted looks a bit... well... I really need to update my predictions! Hugo is officially declared a lock in the Best Picture race. Bérénice Bejo seems to be promoted as Supporting Actress for The Artist, once every Oscar folks are including her in the Supporting Actress field. Felicity Jones is taking home the indie Breakthrough Performance prizes Elizabeth Olsen was supposed to receive. War Horse received a couple of Oscary raves and We Bought a Zoo seems to be have not enough buzz in order to be a Best Picture nominated movie. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II is doing well in the first season's awards, but The Artist is the officially the most loved movie of the season alongside Martin Scorsese's latest. The first reviews about David Fincher's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo gave the movie nice Oscar prospects and they were love letters to Rooney Mara's performance. Glenn Close's performance in Albert Nobbs was snubed by the Independent Spirit Awards and Satellite Awards but her costar's (Janet McTeer's) was nominated. Meryl Streep is clearly on the run for a Best Actress Oscar win for her portray of Margaret Thatcher... and I could keep naming things about the changes I'll do in my predictions!

Tomorrow, they should be finished - CHECK THEM AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THEM!

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today - 2017

The almost annual TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today is out, with me considering the performers' performances of 2016 also. We have a few changes since last year's list, with Greta Gerwig toping the list thanks to her last 3 great performances in Mistress America , Maggie's Plan and the Oscar buzzy acting turn in 20th Century Women . Scarlett Johansson comes second with her latest distinguished performance being in 2014 ( Under the Skin ), but she managed to be at the spotligh this year thanks to her fine turns in critically acclaimed movies: Hail, Caesar! , Captain America: Civil War , The Jungle Book (voice) and Sing (voice). Emily Blunt adds another great performance to her resume in The Girl on the Train and she comes third, while Elle Fanning 's turning into one of the finest actresses and she's getting to play more adult and complex parts like The Neon Demon  and 20th Century Women 's (her two best performances since Super 8 ).

TOP 10 Most Promising Movie Actors (under 30)

Today I discussed about how awful some "teen icons" are and then we talked about some exceptions. So, I decided to make a little list, a TOP 10, with the male actors that I think that will become music in an ocean of noise somewhere in the future (I did one list before, but it was a little bit pathetic and I didn't justify my choices). Let's start... 1 - Ryan Gosling He may not have a huge list of movies in his body of work, but the few times he makes something, all the time he almost carries the movie. In fact, Gosling is a proof that talent does exist and that you don't need excentrical characters to receive raves. He rose to fame after the big screen adaptation of The Notebook (2004) and then received lots of critical praise for his performances in movies like Half Nelson (that gave him an Oscar, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations), Lars and the Real Girl (that gave him a Golden Globe, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations) and Fractur

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses with or under 35 years old: 2018

I think it was my TOP 35 under 35 list I've ever done since I remember: so many great performers emerged last year with distinguished performances that elevated their previous works (I'm talking about Elizabeth Olsen , Lucas Hedges , Robert Pattinson , Gaspard Ulliel , Tessa Thompson or Jamie Bell , for example). I'm kinda sad I felt "forced" at letting Jonah Hill ( Moneyball and The Wolf of Wall Street ) and Emma Watson ( The Perks of Being a Wallflower , The Bling Ring and 2017's Beauty and the Beast ) out of the list. Congratulations to Kirsten Dunst , who turned 35 last year so she can not be included in this year's list - such an amazing child actress turned movie star, who delivered memorable performances in Interview with the Vampire (1994), The Virgin Suicides (1999), The Cat's Meow (2002) or Melancholia (2011). This year, Saoirse Ronan tops the list thanks to two great performances: On Chesil Beach and an iconic acting turn in Lad
