Why the hell did Mahershala Ali get a nomination for Supporting

>>79793438
Anthony Hopkins won for Silence of the Lambs on a similar sort of time.

Some other old cunt too, won, having only been in the movie for 10 minutes or something.

Judy Dench is who I was thinking of.

He made a strong impression with his 15 minutes though, and he was also the best part of "Luke Cage." Dude had a good year, the Oscar nomination makes sense

and the Oscar goes to...
Mahershalalhashbaz Ali

Michelle Williams had a short screentime in Manchester by the Sea too and got an oscar nomination for it.

All it takes is just one scene, and if you watched Manchester by the Sea you know which it is.

same reason why Matthew mcogney stole the Oscar from Leo in wolf of wall street, and he was in the movie for about 5 minutes

are you a fucking idiot?

>>79793438
>had more screen time, he'd deserve a nomination more

You're right, they should give out awards based on who's onscreen the longest

Yeah that's why Lead and Supporting are different categories.

that's the nature of the award

what's weirder is why viola davis is up for supporting actress when she's the female lead in fences

>>79794017
wow you actually are an idiot
Mcconaughey won for Dallas Buyers club, a film which he was in almost every single scene.

>>79793438
At least he was a supporting actor, not like chris waltz who had more screen time than almost anybody else in django (more than leo for sure)and then gets the oscar for 'supporting' actor. No shit. You can show more of your acting when you have a lot of screen time.

Beatrice Straight won the Supporting Actress Oscar for Network, and she's literally only in five minutes of it.

>>79793438
It's for "supporting" actor, not main actor.

Naomi Harris got a nom for best Supporting Actress in it and she only had a few small scenes too.

the whole point of the supporting role is to highlight roles that are just a small portion of the movie. Its a retarded situation when like alicia vikander gets a supporting nomination when she has more lines than the main character
