Alicia Vikander's Oscar Chances for 'Danish Girl' Just Went Up!

Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander pose at a photo call for their movie The Danish Girl held during the 2015 Venice Film Festival on Saturday (September 5) at Palazzo del Casino in Venice, Italy.

The actors were joined by their co-stars Amber Heard and Matthias Schoenaerts, as well as director Tom Hooper.

The film is receiving some excellent reviews at the festival and Alicia‘s awards season chances just shot up.

“The surprise of The Danish Girl is that it’s as much Vikander‘s showcase as it is Redmayne‘s,” Variety said. “Toggling sensuality and sensitivity, with a latent streak of anger throughout, Vikander plays her half beautifully… it’s the stuff that best actress campaigns are built upon.”

FYI: Alicia is wearing a Louis Vuitton dress. Amber is wearing a Zimmermann dress.
