Do you think James Franco will get nominated an Oscar?


I haven't seen it, but a lot people were saying that his performance was incredible. What do you think? He looks amazing in it, and he has the right look for the role.

He doesn't look a thing like Wiseau and his accent is even worse. Nominating him for an Oscar will take away the last teeny bit of respect the Oscars might still have had.

Your post surprises me. Your opinion is based on the movie itself and not the trailer? I just saw it and in closeups it was obviously not Tommy but otherwise I thought he looked just like him. They nailed the hair. And I could hear James Franco's voice in there, but only because I know it so well. I think he pretty much sounded just like Tommy.

I think he deserves an Oscar nomination based on having seen it two hours ago, but the only other SAG nominee I've seen is Daniel Kuluuya and I firmly believe Jake Gyllenhaal deserves a nomination for Stronger which it's apparent now he won't get. I do wonder what Oldman, Washington, and Chalemet's performances are like.

Best Actor oscar is always a competitive category to break into. I liked Franco's performance and movie a lot but I feel like guys like Gary Oldman, Tom Hanks, Daniel Day Lewis, Timothee Chalamet, and Denzel Washington are going to get nods over him.

I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see and if you have any thoughts or criticisms, i'd love to hear them. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here-https://youtu.be/Kjf3HHXDnaw

More like Razzie. He was terrible in the role. If they were going to make this movie an older eastern European man should have been hired for the role.

Oh hi, Oscar.

Well he is a big star, whatevs,

was funny last year during the election micheal shannon said old trump voters should die, lol but he got nominated for a second time, went to the oscars wearing a pin that said no, and in portland there was the hell no! Concert the same night of the oscars, maybe he and carrie browstein can work together or somthing.

Could be possible. But like the other poster mentioned, Best Actor seems to be a tough category to get into for the Oscars.

reply

maybe, but probably other actors more deserving
