5 Oscar-Worthy Female Roles This Fall and Their Place in Academy History

In scanning the release list for this fall, Movieline picked out five female roles that are shoo-ins for Academy attention. How can we be so sure, you ask? Because every role is a combination of past nominees and winners. Let’s divvy up the gold!

Watch Potential Future Oscar Nominee Elizabeth Olsen in Two New Martha Marcy May Marlene Trailers

Ever since its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival , Movieline — as well as pretty much anyone who has seen Martha Marcy May Marlene — has been predicting an Oscar nomination for its breakout leading lady Elizabeth Olsen . Now, thanks to two more haunting trailers from Fox Searchlight , you can double dose on Olsen’s apparently brilliant work as a young woman trying to move past her eerie cult experience and wonder again, “Will Olsen be this year’s Jennifer Lawrence?”

Happy 53rd Birthday, Madonna! What’s Her Most Underrated Onscreen Moment?

Yes, I already toasted Madonna’s birthday yesterday in that hilarious ‘Verbal Vogueing’ clip you watched over and over again (RIGHT?), but it’s time to make The Mother of Reinvention’s 53rd anniversaire official with the Movieline treatment. Now, as a functioning human being, I understand that Madonna isn’t the best actress of our generation, but I contend that she’s had some under-heralded moments in film. Do you have a favorite underrated Madonna moment on the big screen?

Watch the Intriguing First Trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s Twixt

When Oscar-winner Francis Ford Coppola took to Comic-Con to present his new horror project Twixt , he blew minds in Hall H by live-editing footage from his iPad. Now you can watch the first trailer for Twixt to get a taste of what Coppola’s got cooking with his Gothic murder-mystery tale about a hack novelist named Hall Baltimore (Val Kilmer) who befriends a ghostly girl named V ( Elle Fanning ) while searching for his next story in a small California town.

Is Leslie Mann the New Madeline Kahn?

During yesterday’s discussion of the new Funny Girl , Lea Michele, and Barbra Streisand, we took a look back at Babs’ hilarious 1972 comedy What’s Up, Doc? and wondered who is 2011’s equivalent of Madeline Kahn. How foolish we were. The answer is not Jayma Mays or Ari Graynor, but rib-tickling Change-Up star Leslie Mann. It’s a relief to finally get this right. Join Movieline ahead to compare Mann and Kahn’s filmographies, characters, and penchant for cray-cray.

Great Movie Apes: Clyde, Every Which Way But Loose

Rumor has it that this week the apes will rise . So in honor of our primate cousins and their varied achievements on film, Movieline will honor one great movie ape each day who embodies an admirable quality found in monkeykind. Starting us off is one of the greatest primate sidekicks who ever graced the screen, an animal actor Clint Eastwood once called “one of the most natural actors I ever worked with”: Clyde the orangutan.

Watch Movieline Fave Bob Stephenson Bust Paul Rudd in New Our Idiot Brother Clip

If the hideous sweater, disgusting mane, and title didn’t tip you off, Paul Rudd’s character in Our Idiot Brother is supposed to be an idiot. Though the first trailer gave us a good idea of the dunderheadedness we can expect, this glimpse at a scene between Paul Rudd and Movieline pal Bob Stephenson indicates that the titular dude’s stupidity knows no bounds.
