While I'm cautiously happy to know Meryl is currently on top of the stack, I'm also aware that it may not stay status quo as it's way too early in the race, with many (great?) performances coming out from now till end of the year, and I wouldn't even envision others playing catch-up via-a-vis Meryl. But if the movie gets screened to audiences (major festivals or events) and they go gaga over her performance and she becomes the frontrunner, yeah I will be ecstatic for sure like Blanchett in Blue Jasmine and to a lesser extent, Helen Mirren in Queen steamrolling every critics and screening award after it was released to an audience for the first time! That's what I'm talking about...I'll be much happier with a big dollop of realism in place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3751049975001656578.post-12589483760855212462017-04-09T20:50:56.191-05:002017-04-09T20:50:56.191-05:00I agree with CJames.

Also if it comes out around Christmas or Thanksgiving, it'll be nicely placed for healthy box office run.
