Wait is Anne Hathaway a front runner for Les Miserables? I definitely don't see her getting nominated for TDKR, as great as her performance was, I don't think it was on that level, but she looks fantastic so far in Les Miserables, so I can definitely see an nomination for her there. And Tom Hopper is behind it, and The King Speech was a huge Oscar movie back in 2010. Can't wait for Les Miserables, looks great so far.

Correct.

Also I dont believe Marion Cotillard has that much of a chance anymore. Best Actress will go to Jennifer Lawrence.

I think you may be right, but Cotillard and Lawrence are definitely the two performances getting the most buzz for the lead category (and some seem to feel Lawrence belongs more in the supporting category after TIFF), so it may still be a bit early to say for sure.

That's not true at all. She is still getting buzz for Rust and Bone. Good buzz and a ton of rave reviews. There's so many articles referring to her and the "Oscar race".

She's already being honored with a Hollywood Film Award.

But I think Jennifer has just as much of a chance.

I mean for the win. Cotillard will be nominated I think but the win will surely go to Jennifer Lawrence.

I would be the happiest guy on the planet if Jennifer Lawrence was to win this year.

I agree. Though you'll probably be over the moon if Jen wins Best Actress and Anne Best Supporting Actress..

Yeah, her death scene proved just how great she could have been.

One instance of bad acting among an entire resume of good to brilliant acting doesn't prove anything but Nolan's inability to get a good take out of the scene.

Of course, everything is Nolan's fault. And brilliant is a bit of a stretch there my friend.

[Excelsior.]

If everything is that one scene.

And brilliant is a bit of a stretch there my friend.

See her French films.

Blame Nolan for not having another take and not directing her properly.

[shauner111]

Her death scene wasnt that bad to me but i would say it's Nolans fault for that (if u had to blame somebody). Actors are like instruments that serve an album/song, and Nolan could have used another take with said instrument for that scene. But he went with that one, which was probably the first and only take.

If you watch her other films, she really is a fantastic actress and she could have done better if Nolan asked for one or two more takes im sure. I dont blame her at all for that. Im sure every "great actor" has done takes where they're horrible. It's up to the director to sort it out.

[kewlmatto]

I don't find the death scene terrible (though it isn't great). I'm more offended by the character being used as a mere plot twist.

Tatelia was very disappointing. Especially the brief and disingenuous love affair.

Cotillard is a fine actress. Nolan used her well in Inception, but he didn't seem to know how to use her any differently the second time around. Mal pretty much returns in TDKR.

[shauner111]

I can see what you mean but i always felt the way Marion played Mal was the right thing for Talia as well.

Well, let's look at the bright side; at least it wasn't anything like this:
