It is much more likely they would be sick of her than her being bad	I don’t trust Gucci at all, but Gaga’s acting career may be undeniable. Nobody has any idea what to expect from the film

She directs herself in this MMA drama	The buzz around the film is growing and Bullock hasn’t been in the mix in a while. Might be time for a resurgence	Hollywood loves to award brand-new stars and Jones seems primed. Could be in line for breakthrough awards	She’s been all over the place in quality since her Oscar win, but as the most familiar face in the film, she could find herself in the Academy’s good graces again
