Question:
Do you think a movie like SELMA will win an Oscar?

Choices:
A. No Chance
B. Small Chance
C. Good Chance
D. SELMA Will WIN An Oscar

 

It's certainly the kind of movie that's generally been Oscar bait. But since it hasn't even been filmed yet, I'm withholding judgment.

Ellen

Too early to tell...let's hope it turns out to be an excellent movie!


Jo

also, let's hope Hugh is still interested in it.

I am thinking positive. Hugh will be in this movie and it will be Oscar bait. I have high hopes for an Oscar win.

Everyone is welcome to vote & make comments.

Selma or Hugh? ))
I really doubt about Hugh's chances to win the Oscar, but the movie... I wish them to win, 'cos it's a fantastic story, it's real, interesting ,hard, expressive. But I think they would have more chances to win in 2009 when Obama was elected.And I agree with Jo that it's too early to say..

Hugh's character has a very spesial face, a secret what I think is very important for any role if you expect it to be noticed.
I want to see him in a new dramatic type. And it'd be a great challenge for Hugh. So this project is my #1 in my wish-list of Upcoming projects.

Sometimes I think that Hugh has already realaxed with all that Oscar stuff

I have heard that the script is very good and very accessible -- so let's hope that Lee Daniels and the first class actors he has in the project will deliver!

The Jim Clark role may not be one of the two leads ( LBJ and MLK), but he is in a key role during the bloody confrontations before and during the marches! JC does depict a very interesting and controversial character in the history of American civil rights events! This is going to be a definite departure from the roles that Hugh has taken on... And I thought his "Denny" was already quite a radical departure from his leading man or villain roles

Jo

Oh... Denny. Of Course! But I thought about his movie-career only. If I could I'd ask him to stay in theatre for good.. He could be different every day as he'd been before.

Oxana, you remembered my silly sign.

Ellen

Ellen, yep! It made me smile ))giving much attention to small things is one of my professional habits, but main thing is Hugh's response )) By the way, did he say something about it?
