OT but I saw someone predicting Claire Foy for this in that Oscar 2022 thread. Apart that it's extremely ridiculous to predict things right now, I think that it's actually Andrea Riseborough who would play the main female character here but the truth is that I actually don't know and yeah it's ridiculous to do predictions for silly awards right now! Also TBF I don't think the guy say he was predicting her for Supporting or Lead.
There was also a discussion about if this could compete for Best Comedy or Musical in the Golden Globes or not. I guess they are being very positive because this is still a small British movie so it's cool they think it could make it to the Golden Globes! But someone commented that Wain life was very tragic so it surely will be a drama and someone else said there are a few comments saying it's a dramedy but it could be a drama with just a few comedy elements (and you know, make category fraud or something! LOL They are obsessed with awards not films!) . Again they could be right but I sincerely hope the exciting way past Sharpe's work is described really reflects on it and we would have something darker and more interesting than a standard bio or a Golden Globe dramedy!
EDITED I just remembered a hysterical comment I read on another award fanboys site! Someone was angry at the production because obviously it's was another award baity movie designed just for the main actor to win an Oscar playing a schizophrenic and he or she is tired of movies about people making movies about mental health issues. So you know: ban all films about characters with mental problems because this random person on reddit is offended at a film they haven't watched yet!
I know for them it's just about Oscar movies and doesn't know too much apart of those kind of movies. They think everyone think like them and that's why they are convinced actors make movies just to win Oscars but the good news to them (if they really are interested in good representation of mental helth issues on screen. Although the person said they just don't want more movies about the theme!) is that both the producers (Patrick Melrose) and the director (Flowers) had been hailed by mental health organizations for their accurate representations on TV productions that surprisingly weren't designed to win Oscars!
