Oscars: Best Actor Eddie Redmayne Looking for Second Win in Year of Caitlyn Jenner as “Danish Girl” (Watch)

Eddie Redmayne is on a roll. He won the Oscar last winter for playing Stephen Hawking in “The Theory of Everything.”

Now comes the trailer for “The Danish Girl,” directed by Tom Hooper, director of “The King’s Speech” and “Les Miserables.” Eddie will be nominated again for playing transgender. He could win again. On top of that, as a woman he bares a great resemblance to Jessica Chastain.

Hollywood is impressionable. The year of Caitlyn Jenner is upon us. You can already hear the words “brave” and “courageous” in the ad quotes. The trailer looks amazing. Alicia Vikander is a shoo in for something, lots of something. She’s luminous.

“The Danish Girl” will top off Universal Pictures’ record setting year at the box office.
