DanishGirlFocus Features has two major contenders they are offering this year. This is one of them.

The Danish Girl

Stars: Eddie Redmayne, Alicia Vikander, Amber Heard, Ben Whishaw, Sebastian Koch, Matthias Schoenaerts
Director: Tom Hooper
Premise: From IMDb: “The remarkable love story inspired by the lives of artists Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener. Lili and Gerda’s marriage and work evolve as they navigate Lili’s groundbreaking journey as a transgender pioneer.”
Oscar Chances: Good: The film has been a lightweight with critics, but Eddie Redmayne seems assured of a nomination and, pushed into support, Alicia Vikander also has strong chances. Add to that the film’s opportunities in Best Production Design and Best Costume Design and it could be a strong nomination recipient, even if Best Picture isn’t in the cards.
