Will he ever get the recognition he deserves?

He was good in westworld

>>79914536
I don't think he was in Westworld.

>>79914511
Sadly, no. Not until he does a new really high profile film, but that'll probably never happen. His nomination did show how low key beloved he is.

Award-wise? Probably eventually.

It should be on the merit of a particular part, not just because he deserves one in general, like they did giving DiCaprio one recently.

But Mortenson is well-liked and continues to get good parts.

By the academy? Who cares.
Vigo, from what I've heard, is a true artist.
He made enough money on lord of the rings he can chill and do exactly what projects he wants and doesn't have to do the yearly shit movie to stay in the limelight or refill his coffers.
He does artistic shit when he feels like it.

Once he comes out as gay, he'll win the Oscar for a shitty art house film... screencap this.

>>79914511
no, and he's fine with that

I like a good actor who's not afraid to show his cock every now and again

>>79914511
I hope not. I didn't like seeing him nominated with that bunch of hacks, Viggo only does films he likes. An Oscar would actually damage his career

>>79914536
that was Ed Harris. Or is this bait?

Captain Fantastic is really underrated imo

>>79914511
I was surprised that he was nominated.

>>79915203
why was everyone calling him gay in the oscar thread?

I think everyone acknowledges that hes a good actor, but he's never in oscar bait movies. He's never in anything but lowkey movies, even.

Maybe he's in small movies because in pretty much each one of those his acting stands out because he's the only great one in them

>>79914572
They didn't give Dicaprio one because he deserved one, they gave him one because he made an oscarbait movie just to get one.
Jackie Chan they gave one because he deserved it

>>79914511
Eastern Promises Part 2

He got a fair amount of recognition for Eastern Promises and A History of Violence.

Watch those kinos if you haven't

>>79915884
Captain Fantastic was better than Moonlight

>>79916011
>Movie X is better than Oscarbait movie Y
So?

>>79916011
Captain Fantastic was even gayer than Moonlight and La La Land combined

>>79916033
Well you're the gay lord so you probably know what you're talking about

>>79914511
He should have been Roland in the Dark Tower...

>>79915466
His son kissed his head

>>79914511

He made enough money in LOTR that he only has to do projects he likes from now on. That means he will probably never get an oscar, just because he doesn't suck up to producers enough

>>79916109
I'm glad he's not because the Dark Tower is shit

Refreshing to see at least one actor being almost universally liked here

>>79914511
It took me by surprise that he was even nominated. Even if he never wins an oscar I think the academy thinks very highly of him.

>>79916132
The story is good. The movie will be shit. He could have possibly saved it. I pray it goes $100mil over budget and loses its ass.

>revenant
>oscarbait

Yes and hollywood does not fund Israel's war

>>79914511
Prove me wrong. Great actors and actresses don't need awards.

When you have Emma Stone and Jlaw winning Oscars they literally mean nothing.

There's plenty, tbf
I think Ed Harris is also universally liked, or at least respected.
I'd also say actors like Michael Caine, Bill Paxton, Javier Bardem and Nic Cage
And older ones like Peter O'Toole, Orson Welles and Brando

I've also never seen anything negative about pic related

>>79916109
yes, but also
>>79916132
yes, the movie will inevitably be shit

>>79916235
Based desu.

>>79914511
Joey Cusack? He got recognized once, it didn't end so well.

Should have been Roland. Would have made the perfect Roland.

>>79916242

Just because he's dead I'm not gonna excuse him for mediocre acting
