Some Tweet reactions:
Anne Thompson Account verificato @akstanwyck 8 h8 ore fa Christian Bale does deliver an extraordinary performance in Vice that will score Oscar points. Amy Adams does too; she admires Lynne Cheney as a powerful pioneer woman. Tyler Perry met with Colin Powell, who made him read his book.
Kristopher Tapley Account verificato @kristapley 7 h7 ore fa “Vice” is exceptional. It’s also sobering as hell. Adam McKay is in full-blown character study territory and Christian Bale could win an Oscar — if we’re ready to go there with this chapter.
Dave Karger Account verificato @davekarger 8 h8 ore fa Happy to report that #Vice is as entertaining, illuminating, and infuriating as Adam McKay’s last movie, The Big Short. The sharp screenplay and the astonishing Christian Bale are locks for nominations, and I’d predict makeup, Amy Adams for supporting, and Best Picture too.
Scott Mantz Account verificato @moviemantz 8 h8 ore fa VICE: WOW! Bold, daring, very ambitious! Bravura writing & directing by Adam McKay! Gripping & riveting dark comedy! Tour-de-force performances by #ChristianBale & #AmyAdams! Bale will WIN the Oscar for Best Actor! #ViceMovie @annapurnapics
Gregory Ellwood - The Playlist🎬 @thegregorye 8 h8 ore fa Vice is excellent filmmaking. Wish it found a way to explain Cheney’s motivations more but it’s main focus is the damage he has done. Bale is fantastic. Carrell is great. It’s likely Adams vs King for Supporting Actress. #oscars
Katie Walsh Account verificato @katiewalshstx 7 h7 ore fa VICE is wild and absolutely scathing. Christan Bale is magnetic.
Jenelle Riley Account verificato @jenelleriley 8 h8 ore fa It’s not just the weight and the makeup. Christian Bale transforms into Dick Cheney in VICE. There is not a trace of him in the voice, movement, even the eyes.
Jenelle Riley Account verificato @jenelleriley 8 h8 ore fa Also, as furious as #Vice will make you, it’s also very funny. There is one moment so creative and audacious that had me laughing for 20 minutes.
Erik Davis Account verificato @erikdavis 8 h8 ore fa #Vice is a bold and horrifying film about the abuse of power and its far-reaching and long-lasting consequences. Incredible performances (Bale, Adams, Carell, Rockwell are all fantastic), and McKay’s whip-smart, inventive storytelling keeps you invested & entertained
Piya Sinha-Roy Account verificato @piyasroy 7 h7 ore fa Searingly sharp, bitingly engaging and wickedly hilarious, Adam McKay has a real eye for disseminating a complex political system manipulated expertly by people behind the curtains. Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Sam Rockwell and Steve Carell really shine through in #Vice.
Sasha Stone Account verificato @awardsdaily 7 h7 ore fa Saw Adam McKay's Vice which has some of the most powerful moments ever put to film this year. It stays with you. Like The Big Short, it throws A LOT of information at you that will take time to process and digest. Acting brilliant across the board.
Sasha Stone Account verificato @awardsdaily 7 h7 ore fa Probably Bale has a real shot at taking home Best Actor this year and honestly I don't think anyone would argue. It's one of those once in a generation performances - so exacting, so perfect that you can hardly believe your eyes.
Sasha Stone Account verificato @awardsdaily 7 h7 ore fa I do wish there was more of the film's best performance (other than Bale) - Sam Rockwell as W. Amy Adams is great, as are the supporting cast - Steve Carell, Tyler Perry ...SAG ensemble nom seems a sure bet I'd say.
Sasha Stone Account verificato @awardsdaily 7 h7 ore fa The film's final scenes really won me over. I was less so with the beginning of the movie. It will be seen by many as liberal propaganda by many on the right. It is not too far off an Oliver Stone movie in its passion to make its point.

Amazing reactions! As much as I want Bale to win I still think Bradley Cooper will win. At this point Bale is second place to win. Sounds exciting!

Honestly, some of the reactions make Bale sound like once in a lifetime/generation kinda performance. I doubt Cooper is the same level but yes, Academy voters are unpredictable :/

Honestly, some of the reactions make Bale sound like once in a lifetime/generation kinda performance. I doubt Cooper is the same level but yes, Academy voters are unpredictable :/ Well, I don't get what the fuss was about A Star Is Born. People have been talking about it as a BP frontrunner and Cooper as BA frontrunner for quite some time now, and I was, like... why? It was good, and so was Cooper, but neither the movie nor his performance were anything special IMO. (I think Jeff Bridges was better as a drunk musician in Crazy Heart, but then I'm also biased since I like Jeff Bridges much more anyway and always have.) ASIB has my fave performance from Bradley Cooper of those I've seen, but that's not saying much, since I've never been a big fan. The movie and the performance seem to be much loved, though. Like I said I don't why they are, but they are. As for the Academy, well... many factors besides quality of performance (or of movie, etc.) influence the voting. It has never been just about the quality, so that's not necessarily the deciding factor anyway.

Excited by these reactions. Bale is definitely entering the race and is a serious competition for Cooper.

Yeah I’ll agree that Bradley Cooper’s performance is really good but it probably won’t be as impressive as Bale’s since Bale really transformed himself. I also prefer Bridger’s performance as a struggling alcoholic. However the reason why I think the academy will pick Cooper is because Cheney is someone people absolutely despise and Cooper plays a somewhat relatable character. Not only that we all know the fuss about Cooper having to learn the singing, guitar playing etc. we shall see though! Obviously I’m team Bale but it won’t be a surprise if Cooper wins anyway.

There will be a SAG screening this Tuesday that my friend is attending Not the screenings, but the DVD screeners, which they apparently have not yet sent to SAG. Ahh I see. I read on Twitter from Sasha stone that Bradley Cooper is sending out personally signed cards with the Star is born screeners for the critic’s choice members. Talk about desperation.

It all depends on how powerfully Bale's performance hits with the industry. Bale is unanimously adored, admired and respected in the industry the way Cooper isn't. Bale's Big Short nomination is proof of tgat, it wasn't even that good. This one's being touted as the best of the year by many.
I also don't buy Cooper's overdue narrative. Overdue for what? Burnt? American Sniper? Bale was overdue since 2000 for an iconic performance until the next 11 yrs.
His indifference to campaigning (he does as much as he's free of work and family obligations) and not bowing to any one, certainly no bending of one's personal sense of professional integrity to churn out paycheck movies are also highly respected.
Let Cooper campaign all he wants. If Bale's performance is really as one of a kind as everyone is saying and if the film does hut hard regardless of agreement wuth this or that, the Academy will vote. If not for the film, not for the director, not for the editor or script, they'll definitely vote for him this honoring the whole production via the face of the film.

Honestly i was surprised when Bale was nominated for the big short. It was nothing special at all. I would say he deserved it more for the prestige or even 3:10 to Yuma
