Having Daisy Ridley as a lead in the Force Awakens is good, but that just puts her a tad ahead of Carrie Fisher in the original trilogy. - Mop Dec 1, 12:32 1

  - If Vikander and Mara vie for lead rather than supporting at Oscar, that will open up best supporting a bunch. -- nm - ty97 Dec 1, 12:39 16
    - (Mind you, as much as it would be category fraud, Vikander would be better off going supporting) - ty97 Dec 1, 12:40 15
      - some think it's currently between Brie and Saiorse because they're both great, but 'Brooklyn' has easier subject matter. (idk) -- nm - Diva Dec 1, 12:43 14
        
        I have to see Brooklyn this week, but I'm kinda a Brie fan right now. - ty97 Dec 1, 12:47 7
        
        I have to see *everything*. It's terrible. - Diva Dec 1, 12:51 6

        [deleted] 4
        
        Aren't they considering running Mara in Supporting because they want to run Blanchett in Lead so they won't compete against each other? - Diva Dec 1, 12:48 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        Mara and Vikander have both been mentioned/assumed as supporting to date, but they are both campaigning lead at the Globes - ty97 Dec 1, 12:49 1
