The Playlist are getting in early with their Oscar predictions for 2015. Â Their predictions are indeed as they say, premature seeing as the movies have not yet been released, but I LOVE that they mention Rob in the snippet below. Â Smart peeps. Â Oh how I cannot wait for Life, Â how fantastic is it going to be.
Honorable Mentions: The late James Gandolfini has another chance at a nod—his final filmed role, in Tom Hardy-starring crime thriller “The Drop” (formerly known as “Animal Rescue”) lands in early fall. But it’s probably a longer shot, given that he missed out for “Enough Said.” Speaking of Hardy, he’s starring in “Child 44,” which has a part for Paddy Considine that could prove awards-friendly if the film’s anything more than a genre picture.
Elsewhere, you could also keep an eye out for Aaron Paul in “Exodus,” Neil Patrick Harris in “Gone Girl,” Shia LaBeouf in “Fury,” Adam Driver in “This Is Where I Leave You” or “While We’re Young,” Ewan McGregor in “Jane Got A Gun,” Edward Norton in “Birdman,’ Domhnall Gleeson in “Unbroken,” John Goodman in “The Gambler,” Toby Jones or Rhys Ifans in “Serena,” Kyle Chandler in “Carol,” Martin Sheen in “Trash,” Sam Riley in “Suite Française,” Matthias Schoenaerts for that film, “A Little Chaos,” or “Far From The Madding Crowd,” and Robert Pattinson for “Life.” (my emphasis)
