I will be watching the awards to see if this prophesy comes true.
shareAlthough I doubt Miss Streep needs my support, I really hope that you are correct and the Academy takes notice of Simon. He was perfection and helped "make" the movie for me.
Be well and be kind
Probably a nomination for Meryl.
It's that man again!!
Probably a nomination for Meryl.
Yes, I could have easily seen other women in the same role as Meryl Streep. But I think Hugh Grant's performance took this film to a whole different level.

Come on. If he wasn't in a tv show, you wouldn't even have noticed him.
Not to say he was bad, not at all but he had nothing to play and the studio will definitely not waste time and money pushing for him to be nominated. They already have two well known actors to score nominations without much work.

It's not an either/or. Both Hugh Grant and Simon Helberg could be nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
shareI think this will happen...Streep is beloved and anything close to the mark in the Academy's eyes usually results in a nomination.
I'd love to see Hugh Grant nominated. He has such an effortless quality about his performances (reminds me of Cary Grant), and because it appears effortless, people think it is, as if he just showed up on the set and started talking.
He deserved much more recognition for his performance in "About a Boy" than he received. I think he is due.
Oh what a falling off was there.
I hope Grant gets nominated but he's in lead and unless this is a very weak year for Best Actor, he's unlikely to get in. He'll probably get a Best Actor Comedy nomination at the Golden Globes.
shareI won't, and quit trolling, jidf!

As good as Meryl was, Grant was the standout.

What are your favorites?
Not really. No one is as good as Meryl. She even did the off key singing.
sharePlease. Grant's performance was nowhere near the stretch that Streep's or Helberg's was.
