Watch For An Oscar Engagement

engagement ring 32EXCLUSIVE!

[Blind Gossip] We’ve told you before that this good-looking couple is in a PR relationship. They are both film actors and they are both enjoying success at the box office.

Well, one side is now pushing to take this to the next level. They want a fake engagement!

The first team thinks that the timing would be perfect for promoting a film starring the couple that will be released in a few months. They want to promote the movie as “the film in which they met and fell in love,” and say that the fake engagement will bolster the chances that BOTH actors will be nominated for Oscars.

The second team wants an Oscar too, but their actor wants to keep the relationship light and is reluctant about taking it to the next fake level.

So watch what happens in the next few months. If there is an uptick in “serious couple” stories (e.g. romantic dinners, house hunting, ring shopping) and appearances together (e.g. paparazzi photos of them by the ocean on vacation), our fake couple will probably be getting “engaged” in time for awards season!

It also means that they will BOTH be pushing hard for Oscar nominations, and will be staying in their “relationship” through the film’s release and the 2017 awards season… after which point they will be free to go their separate ways.

    Actor: Michael Fassbender

    Actress: Alicia Vikander

    Clues: the movie is “The Light Between Oceans,” and the blind mentions “keep the relationship light” and “photos of them by the ocean.”

  6. kermit1969 says

    Actor: Jaimie Fox

    Actress: Katie Holmes

    Clues: Jaimie is set to star in the Mike Tyson biopic and that occurs in a boxing ring (see ring pic) and there is a lot of use of the word “push” in the blind -pushing hard (as in taking it to the next level) and “pushing” for awards. Plus there was a rumor both Fox and Holmes were wearing wedding rings the other day.

    Actor: Michael Fassbender

    Actress: Alicia Vikander

    Movie is The Light Between Oceans, so “keep the relationship light” and “photos of them by the ocean” are clues.

    My #1 Michael Fassbender
    Alicia Vikander
    Clues is “Ocean” as in the movie they met ” the light between two oceans” due out later this year.

    But they were both nominated for Oscars this year so not sure why this movie will bolster they both be nominated, but this is def them…nowi have to go and mourn

  9. KittyKat says

    I’m thinking this might be Fassbender/Vikander. The movie they supposedly got together on is coming out this year and they were first photographed as a “couple” surfing together (hence the hint of beachside photos). Also the hint that they will BOTH campaign for Oscar since he hasn’t been active in campaigning post-Shame.

    Alicia Vikander
    Michael Fassbender
    The light between Oceans
    Clue: photo by the ocean on vacation
    Nope!

    MICHAEL FASSBENDER
    ALICIA VIKANDER

    The film is The Light Between Oceans.
    This is a Weinstein-concocted relationship. Fassbender has been seen at many awards season afterparties with other women and Alicia has been seen witnessing it, not caring because the relationship isn’t genuine.

    Actor: Michael Fassbender

    Actress: Alicia Vikander

    Clues: Bolster, Ocean, Movie they are in together, “The Light Between Oceans”

  19. vickyf89 says

    Actor: Michael Fassbender

    Actress: Alicia Vikander

    Clues: ” by the ocean” for the movie they are about to start promoting: “The Light Between Oceans”

    [Optional] Would you participate in a fake relationship for a chance to win an Oscar? If the guy was Michael Fassbender, I would make the sacrifice.

  22. tiger13 says

    fassbender + vikander, the light between oceans is apparently the movie wher they “met”
    “actor wants to keep the relationship light”

  23. goodgollyholly says

    Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander

    The Light Between Oceans

    Clues: light and ocean

  25. draconius25 says

    Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris (Adam Wiles)
    Those two actors deserve a Razzie Award, at the very least.

  26. Okayeah says

    Fassbender/Vikander? No idea on the clues, just going with what the link says.

    [Optional] Fake relationship for an Oscar? Never. For a humongous pile of cash that I couldn’t crawl my way out of? Probably. But marriage would be out of the question.

  30. checkin1234 says

    Michael Fassbender
    Alicia Vikander
    Light/ocean
    Maybe considering that their careers are acting.

  31. TheSalmon says

    alicia vikander and michael fassbender
    They supposedly started dating while filming the light between oceans (clue, ocean vacay)
    BOTH in upper case – because she’s the one who fought for Oscar this year (and won via category fraud) while he couldn’t seem to care.
    I gotta say, tho, if this is all PR, they certainly are not milking it. don’t do red carpets together, PDA is a bare minimum. They seem to be a couple who’d prefer to stay private (but maybe that’s part of the “act”).

  35. emster says

    Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander.
    She just won an Oscar less than a month ago and I’m already tired of her. It’s Redmayne all over again. Give other people a turn!

  36. Jester says

    Also, please note that I didn’t even make a guess myself. ?

    As far as faking a relationship for an Oscar, why not? Seems that fake relationships are used for all sorts of ridiculous reasons in the celebrity world.

  37. Laughing1 says

    I have no idea…..and I’ve looked! Totally stumped on this one…….not enough clues!

  40. Laughing1 says

    I see numerous guesses for Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander, but the September release of The Light Between Oceans is MORE than several months away — that would be 7 months away!
