This hasn't happened yet, even though it unboubtedly will.

>>79488271

are you nostradamus?

anyway the animation category is a joke and there were a lot of actual injustices you could've chosen. Shrek winning over Monsters, Inc. Big Hero 6 winning over The Tale of the Princess Kaguya. Zootopia was great by the way.

>>79488484
I have to agree with you fellow anon, both films were fun.

>>79488271
Sean Penn winning for Milk over Rourke in the Wrestler.

Completely political move, I knew the Oscars were just popularity parties in the first place but that's when I completely washed my hands of them.

I even liked Milk, but The Wrestler was 10 times the movie Milk was.

>>79488521
Not really, they both acted impeccably well

The actual upset and injustice would be Gosling

>>79488271
>What are some of the biggest Oscars injustices in history?

I dunno about injustices, you can always argue one way or another, but god is there a lot of Best Movies that are just forgotten.

Anyone remember The Artist? Fucking Hollywood giving itself a handjob about a forgettable movie.

How about Spotlight? It won just 2 years ago. Not heard it mentioned then or after.

Argo was in 2012.

>>79488271
>>Sheryl Lee and Ray Wise were not even nominated for Fire Walk with Me

Should have been nominated

>>79488757
The Artist was far more tolerable than La La Land. Probably because silent films are such a distant artifact and were on their way out in the early days of the Oscars.

>>79488757
Shakespeare in Love? Huh?
-No nomination for Andy Serkis for LotR or PotA
-Annie Hall beating Star Wars for Best Picture (at the time, maybe it was okay, but History is shaking it's head.)
-For people who think Fellowship of the Ring or The Two Towers should have won Picture or Director, I really feel like the Academy was waiting until the trilogy was done, and gave everything to Return of the King.

>>79488638
That's pretty much academy's voters understanding/appreciation of animated films. It's all just a bunch of fun kid's movies, whatever.

Shrek was cultural diarrhea though.

Yes, Fences is an excellent play.

If Cate Blanchett reprised the role of Blanche from her award winning stage production of Streetcar, reciting the monologues word for word but on camera instead of on the stage, I wouldn't want her to win the oscar either. Plus she already has two, just like Denzel.

>>79488521

Big Hero 6 winning that year was super disappointing. It was easily the least inspired film on the roster. I would have even been cool with boxtrolls winning over it.

Worst of this decade

>>79489534
Uhh Babe actually required skill in creating animatronic talking animals that actually looked realistic compared to everything else in the fucking 90s etc.

The Godfather has a lot.

Coppola not winning best director after having to fight against the useless studio who wanted to change everything along the way.

Al Pacino not winning best support actor (also a joke that he wasnt nominated for a lead role, but at least that would have given the academy a chance to give both him and Brando oscars).

I also think its a joke that De Niro won best lead for Godfather 2. Pacino's performance is simply better. De Niro's performance is wooden and probably the worst portrayal of character development of any character in Godfather 1 or 2.

>>79488757
I watched The Kings Speech on Tuesday. It was a solid film but no where near Oscar worthy. While the acting was great and the cinematography was good there was no depth and barely even a theme to think about.

Merryl Streep being nominated for almost every fucking decent roles in very forgettable movies.

She is completely irrelevant since 2003 at least and people are still voting for her!?!

This although I think Sean Penn is the most boring actor ever.
Mickey Rourke actually dedicated himself to every bit of The Wrestler.

Also Gran Torino didn't even get nominated for a fucking thing at the 2009 oscars whereas Slumdog Millionaire won best picture, what a shitty year.

>>79490110

Yea got that mixed up, its still a poor performance though, nowhere near Oscar worthy.

The entire Don Vito story is poor, the villain Don is a one dimensional joke character and De Niro has no character development at all, he just suddenly decides to become the main man and does it effortlessly with no prior experience.

>>79489016
>>79490133
This thread is full of shit everywhere, but this is insane. What are you people on? Oliver! is a very good musical but 2001 is gazillions of time the bigger classic, more influential and immensely more remembered and praised. One isn't even on the top 50 of the decade, the other is one of the few legitimate contenders for GOAT.

He's a meme director who appeals mostly to teenage boys

>>79490337
desu everyone should compare that to the untouchables where he actually was fucking shit

Hitchcock, Kubrick and PTA not getting not one Oscar for directing/writing
Gladiator winning
Crash winning
Tom Cruise not getting one, not even from Magnolia. Wasn't even nominated for Collateral
Scorsese won for The Departed not his earlier better work
Birdman/The Revenant
Joaquin Phoenix not getting one
Art Garney over Pacino and Nicholson

When La La Land wins awards even though it is a meme film made to bait awards while kino like Moonlight gets a pat on the back

Dances with Wolves beating Goodfellas

>>79490443
don't worry moonlight will get a pity oscar, else it'd be asking for a racewar

>>79490380
Because he didn't make the easiest most popular flicks and wasn't greatly revered at the time.

I was gonna say that von Trier has never even gotten nominated but he actually got a song nomination for the Björk thing where he actually contributed nothing because Björk is popular and cute.

t. lamquiluah shaneesha king jr.

>>79490337

Watch it again, I cant truly believe that anyone who isnt blinded by nostalgia of watching a great movie for the first time can think his performance is good.

He doesnt act at all during the film, he is the same person, showing no range, no sadness, no anger (for instance when he gets revenge on the old Sicily don he doesnt show any emotion at all, hes not nervous, angry or any other emotion), no conflicted feelings at any point.

The Vito backstory is supposed to show how Don Vito became the great, deep character we meet in The Godfather, but all we get is to see some small events. There isnt a single scene of De Niro showing the development of the character traits we see in Brandos character outside of cringe fan service "ill give him an offer he cant refuse" scene.

The movie is great, but that because the Michael story is so perfect. The Vito backstory is mediocre.

>>79490570
> by far the best thing in the film.

When a stupid joke about sloths being slow is the best thing in a film, it's a shit film.

>>79490443

>>79488757
>talking about "forgotten" films

lmao. People talk about The Artist all the time. Same with Shakespeare in Love.

A better case would be The English Patient, which I've pretty much never seen mentioned even in pop culture from around the same period.

>>79490683
In The Artist case, it's even more stupid. The spergs on /tv/ alone always saying how forgotten it is make it already remembered lmao

>>79490350
Rocky was fucking great though, and I say that as a Scorsese fan.
Stallone deserved that for all the shit he went through to get that movie made.

>>79490593
The whole point is that he lost his innocence when he lost his family as a child and that he survived so well because of his ability to make great deals and remain calm in the tensest of situations, just like Michael did after losing his wife and brother.
Unfortunately Michael became too cold and calculating to the point of killing his own family, something Vito would never condone.

>>79490673
>a shitty movie
No, it wasn't

>>79490673
At least he got one, The Good The Bad and The Ugly soundtrack is probably GOAT.

Michael is a hypocrite who never actually put family first. Its funny because the trait he hates in his brother Fredo, that he put his own needs in front of those of the family, is also present in himself all the time. Michael's need to be a a respected head of the family is more important to him than his family.

>>79491099
nah, Shakespeare in Love beating The Thin Red Line, which probably split the vote with Saving Private Ryan leading up to Love's win. Malick's film is far superior than the clichéd Spielberg tripe. the only saving grace of Private Ryan was the shakey cam war scenes, which were quite a novelty at the time.

Gotta disagree with this one, Hoffman nailed Capote perfectly.
If we're going to talk about that year though, having Crash win Best Picture (let alone being nominated for anything) was a fucking disgrace.

No acting awards for the LOTR cast

>>79488271
just out of curiosity, what film do you think should win over Zootopia? Of the nominees this year its certainly the best, so is there another film this year you think is more deserving?
Im not disagreeing with you that Zootopia is a tad overrated, just curious.

>>79495493

Kick-Ass soundtrack

>>79488802

>>79495526
I don't know why the outrage, at least it's better than Brave, Big Hero 6 and Frozen

>>79495493
McKellan rightfully got nominated for Fellowship and I think you could strongly argue for Astin getting a nom for Return of the King. In both of those movies they seem to be relied on more to carry the story. Viggo probably could have gotten a nom for Two Towers, make it one acting nomination for each movie and I think that is one where he stands out the most. Orlando Bloom did a good job but I don't think he had enough to deserve a nomination. He kind of got lumped in with John-Rhys Davies as comic relief tier. For the most part he is kind of silent and delivers his dialogue a bit wooden, but that of course fits with the character. There aren't any scenes where he really stands out and takes over a scene.

I'm always amazed how Nolan gets snubbed in basically everything. I know some really like hating on him cuz normies like him so much but idc his movies are always the best movie that year and receive nothing while vastly inferior ones do.

There's no other current director with an arguably spotless resume. Yeah yeah tdkr but despite all the vocal hate it gets its still a far cry from a bad or even mediocre movie.

>>79495493

>>79488271
I genuinely believe that the Lego Movie not being nominated, and therefore not winning, best animated film is the single biggest snub in oscar history.

>>79496845
Brave was not a very good movie, but it was enough for its audience and Merida's accent was cute.

The competition, however, made its victory possible. There was literally no other even remotely good movie in that year.

>inb4 Wreck-It Ralph being called a good movie when it literally sold on lies and cameos

>>79496641
honestly I don't think some of his movies hold up that well upon review. He seems to rely on spectacle to cover up a lot of things and tdkr is just when it became too noticeable. He excels at those big spectacle scenes in Inception and Interstellar, where when the visuals and music line up just the right way it is absolutely amazing. But when it comes to specific details of the story or characters, the dialogue, and the smaller scenes he seems to struggle a bit. Also he seems to not do that many takes when trying to do scenes and that is where you get the obvious and out of place extras doing weird things in the background and poor choreography like people falling down without getting hit. He doesn't seem to have that same kind of attention to detail that other directors might. I'm not saying he has to be autistic like Fincher about everything in the frame but he should take the time to point out that this extra in the crowd is pulling some weird kind of overacting face, or that this guy fell down for no reason.

Just watch Nolan's movies more than one time and some acknowledged great movies more than one time, and you'll realize why Nolan isnt nominated more.

His movies have no genuine relationships between characters, no real dramatic tension. Name one character from a Nolan movie that you remember and cared about during the movie.

Nolan is a great plot-spinner, thats it. His movies have 0 rewatchability once you know the plot. Hes also lucky enough to have had Zimmer who improves his dramatic scenes greatly.¨

Nolan is the Dan Brown of directors, cheap fun for the masses, no real artistic merit.

>>79496980
I honestly don't notice stuff like that. Personally I also like the stories told in all his movies and often consider the performances great. I do like spectacle in a movie but to me his are different - quickest example i can think of is how utterly boring all the action / destruction was in Civil War.

>>79488928

If we are to only consider those two movies, Moana is objectively a better achievement for animated feature films than Zootopia, though, which is something the fucking Academy for Motion Pictures Arts and Science should take into consideration.

But no, let's give the award to Zootopia because wow, did you see the beautiful message of multiculturalism and diversity?

>>79496967

>>79497098
If the academy really cared about art, Kubo would win for being the objectively better achievement for animated feature films.

But it's Disney and we live in the Trump era, so Zootopia wins.

>>79497010
yea that was bullshit. A lot of people who I talked to didn't really like this film. Really affected me though. The trailer is misleading however it's actually more of a feel bad movie than anything else.

>>79497047
I completely disagree man... I've watched all of his movies multiple times and enjoy them just as much. I think the chars of Prestige had more then enough 'dramatic tension'. I consider Heaths Joker the greatest performance I've seen. The relationship between Murph and Coop felt completely genuine.

One reason his movies get snubbed for sure is being Sci-fi.

His movies also have a lot of memorable lines and scenes. I'm not some plebbitor in experience either. I still have loads to watch but I've watched many of the most renowned classics 40s-00.

Of the 15 best animated picture winners, 8 have come from Pixar (Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, Toy Story 3, Brave, and Inside Out).

2 have been Disney proper (Frozen, Big Hero Six)

Non Disney/Pixar: Shrek, Spirited Away, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Happy Feet, and Rango. Outside of Rango, Disney/Pixar has won since 2008.

So it's not quite that bad, but it's not far.

>>79497060
To me Nolan is a concept man and that is why his movies usually have interesting and engaging stories and he tries different techniques to pull them off. That is what separates his spectacle from something like Civil War, that has no creativity behind it. I know it is an unfair criticism but Nolan seems to be the epitome of take a scene out of context and it is almost laughable. Not all of his scenes are like this but a lot show, again, out of place extras, weird editing, over reliance on the score, poor exposition heavy dialogue, and occasionally bland acting. This was obviously going to come up, but the plane scene is the prime example of where he goes wrong most of the time. The concept of the scene and the logistics of crashing an actual plane and all of that is great. But then you have the laughable dialogue and delivery, you have weird edits like the guys turning around and punching the mercenaries tied up on the ground instead of fighting the guys shooting at them, he keeps in the take where the one guy attacking the plane bangs his head as he lands on it, and the actual fighting in the cabin and action scenes are incoherent and shaky. All of these things are covered up by the score and the fact that this is the opening scene where everyone is hyped for the movie and has that spectacle of seeing someone attack and crash a plane in that way.

Nolan is a casual's idea of an auteur, good at visualising scenes that look impressive with a shit ton of VFX layered over the top and nothing else. His scenario writing is mediocre dialogue objectively bad, and he loves scripts with hard-to-follow gimmicks to disguise the shallowness of what is underneath.

>>79499162
Yes this is the typical pretentious argument I hear towards him, yet I still enjoy his movies more then the ultra kino patrician ones.

>>79499214
Which says more about you than it does about the movies, honestly.

>>79499214
>pretentious
why do you call it that though? he makes enjoyable films but he's more of a JJ Abrams type of director than Kubrick as many like to compare the two. I guess he's sort of a thinking man's blockbuster director which in the past years doesn't say much.

Memento and The Prestige are decent though.

Seriously? JJ? Interstellar was basically a love letter to 2001. I know many enjoy being contrarian but come on asshats like you hate on Nolan because of how much hes loved. They are pretentious critiques because they are spoken in condescension while the person pretends they are some kind of film expert. And yeah, if you put value in certain things that Nolan doesn't excel at and that dampens your opinion of him thats fine just don't be a faggot about it. Seriously though fuck off for that JJ shit.

I rewatched it a few days ago and it wasn't nearly as impressive as the first time. Following is by far his best movie and he'll never top it.

>>79499440
looks like I hit a soft spot. Well then. I think Nolan makes some interesting pictures but some people think he is the second coming. People say he brings intelligence back to the multiplex when the truth is anything but. I find his films are full of unnecessary exposition as if he does not trust your average viewer to figure it out for themselves. Also with almost every single line explaining what is going on, no room is left for any emotional investment

>>79499214
What the fuck did you just fucking say about Nolan, you little pleb? I’ll have you know I've seen the most movies in my middle school class, and I’ve been smug to numerous girls in my school who like Twilight, and I have over 300 confirmed watches of Fight Club. I am trained in uninteresting movie trivia and I’m the biggest fanboy of superhero movies in the entire world. You are nothing to me but just another idiot who hasn't seen Inception. It will mindfuck you with meticulousness the likes of which has never been seen since Goodfellas (1990), mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit about Nolan over the Internet? Go watch some Kubrick and Kurosawa and then talk. As we speak I am updating my secret list of underrated gems on Netflix and it's being sent to you right now so you better prepare for the cinematography, maggot. The cinematography that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your brain virginity. You’re fucking mindfucked, kid. I can name any director, from any summer blockbuster from the last ten years, and I can come up with over seven hundred ways of asking people to post popular movie titles on askreddit, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in the art of cinematography stills, but I have access to the entire IMDb top 250 illegaly downloaded on my computer (because fuck hollywood, amirite) and I will use my film knowledge to its full extent to wipe your miserable love for pre-1990 movies off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known how boring your little “black-and-white” movies was, maybe you would have watched some quality cinema. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you pretentious idiot. Nolan will turn the current state of cinema all over and your mind will be raped by it. You’re fucking plebby, Bay-lover.

>>79499214
Nolan is neither the genius his defenders make him out to be nor the incompetent hack his detractors believe he is. If Nolan has an historic counterpart, it would most likely be someone like John Sturges - a competent, even occasionally inspired, genre specialist who cranked out massively popular entertainments that weren't half as intelligent or ambitious as they might have appeared at first glance.

Sturges and Nolan share many of the same faults as well: both men lack any semblance of a sense of humor, both can be hamfisted when dealing with "political allegory", and one could charge either with having an unsophisticated world view.

Both directors made reliably entertaining films - but spending a lot of time trying to analyze them as works of art can be a frustrating process, and generally yields only diminishing returns.

>a decade isn't a long enough time between awards

This is the industry that throwshe Meryl awards and noms left and right

I think the fact that Mononoke wasn't awarded or nominated is heinous as well.

Also I pray for ONE YEAR when any animated film gets a best picture nod. It's fucked that they practically restrict them to their category like a bunch of shorts.

Well.. I mean, were you around discussion with Interstellar and Inception? Theyre literally are countless people who are so fucking stupid they can't understand it. I mean.. there were threads here of anons not understanding Arrival for christ sakes. I don't claim hes the greatest, he is my favorite though. I enjoy his movies the most and haven't disliked any so far. There's always those fringe tards that go to the extreme for everything, basing your opinion of something off them is a waste of energy anon.

I don't feel the same but I can't explicitly disagree. To be honest I often ignore hidden intentions by a writer/director in a film. I instead consume movies with the intention of enjoying it while tasting the the experience that individual has accumulated in their lifetime and expressed into an end product. I'm not real interested in the content of their views so much as the perspective from them.

Because it was made before they started giving out the Best Animated Feature award.
