Who Almost Landed These Oscar Nominated Roles? (PHOTOS)
It’s hard to imagine anyone else playing Kate Winslet‘s role in Titanic or Rooney Mara‘s intense character in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, but there were other familiar faces up for these parts.
We’re just days away from the 2012 Academy Awards, and we thought it interesting to look back at some of the stars that almost landed these Oscar worthy roles. Who admitted to auditioning for Bridesmaids? The TV actress told Celebuzz:
“I auditioned for Melissa McCarthy’s part – and that’s what’s weird … The part wasn’t defined necessarily as one thing [when I auditioned]. I was doing a very specific take on it, and they really liked it. But I think, ultimately, Miss McCarthy is perfect in that movie.”
Click the pics to find out who we’re quoting, and let us know: Do you think these roles would have been nominated if played by anyone else?
Not all roles earn award nominations, but they certainly stick with you. Lindsay Lohan‘s role in The Parent Trap in one such role, and Shameless star Emmy Rossum admitted to Celebuzz that she was up to play the part. She disclosed:
“I was 12, but I really wanted the role. … Lindsay beat me out of the role, [but] I’m having the time of my life and currently working on Shameless.”
Looks like it all worked out!
many stars auditioned for this role like natalie portman, scarlettt johansson, jennifer lawrence, but it went to rooney mara because she has worked with david fincher(the director) before in the social network. it’d kinda bad because if scarlett would have got the role, we would have seen her naked…
don’t tell me it’s about kate winslet, that would be too weird.
yeah melissa is a wayyyy better choice
rooney mara owned that role. she was amazing and fit into the books character perfectly
yeah no
yeah no. Kate FTW personally i don’t like Gwyneth Paltrows acting style.
she is so cute! love her!
um if the author wanted her obv she fit the description. duhhhhhhhhh
little lowerrrrrrrr
i love leo. but christian owned this role
even though i think Henry Cavill is sexy beyond words, he doesnt seem to fit a teenager role…
Yeah Julia Robers was perfect. Its a movie, how could it be too degrading? geez its not like your life story! ahah and now no one knows who you are. boom reality check
Love love love sean connery, but not for this role. Sean Connery is a bad and wouldnt have fit this roll right. Ian was a great pick
yeah no. keanu was perfect…
Gwyneth was just considered, she dont turned down the role.
If it went to mara because she has worked with the director she would not have been nominated.

Louis Vuitton Replica Handags usually was manufactured from China ,it is not authourized by louis vuitton .But they will come with the high quality that almost the same materials and handwork,So it is hard to distingush the Repilicas.
Wow girl you are kinda believing youself!
The only person that actually know how exactly Bella looks is her creator Stephenie Meyer.
But as I find her character very shallow, Kristen’s dumb open mouth is perfect for Bella’s role.
LOL your taste in movies and actors is magnificent!
Dafaq did I just write? Haha.
DO NOT TELL US YOU’VE SEEN STAR WARS? … AND HIGH SCHOOL EFFING MUSICAL? HELL.
