Oscar snubs thread

>>84105679
Jake in Nightcrawler deserved a nomination

mickey rourke in the wrestler

instead sean penn won for playing a gay

>>84105894
the wrestler was fucken great ,sean penn sucks and I refuse to watch anything he's in.

>>84105679
>Benicio del toro
>a literal who

>>84105852
Agreed
>>84105894
That fucking reminds me of the other performance I was going to bring up

Bill Murray losing Best Actor for Lost in Translation to.......Sean Penn in Mystic River.

You know lads I think we're onto something, Sean Penn stealing oscars from more deserving people like the little bitch he is

>>84105679
Well op,it was a great performance but the ick factor was off the charts. He was so unlikable. I know that shouldn't have anything to do with getting the award but meh.

>>84106022
As much as I love LiT, it wasn't deserving of an Oscar.
Sean Penn definitely deserved it in Mystic River, Milk not so much

>>84106013
I got confused, I was thinking about Samuel L. Jackson losing when I wrote that part

Still, Gladiatorbro got robbed by some cheap oscar bait

>>84105679
Alternatively Joaquin Phoenix in The Master is the best perfomance of this decade and I think he wasn't even nominated. I think Daniel Meme Lewis won with some generic oscarbait

As much as i hate that character, that film, the way it is fucking overrated, and how you are full of Reddit by saying stupid shit like "one of the best played villains of all time", yes, he deserved the Oscar.

Also, ralph fiennes losing somehow to Tommy lee Jones for playing Average Old Sheriff

Maherasha Ali winning last year by playing Average Black criminal With Heart Of Gold

Robert Duvall not winning for Apocalypse Now (or even Godfather, although James Caan also deserved)

Eli wallach not winning for The Good, the Bad and The Ugly

Andy Serkis not winning for Two towers

Mark rylance winning for Bridge of Spies instead of ... literally anyone else

>>84106094
>3 nominations
>0 wins

it's not fair

>>84106064

It only got nods in acting, deserved more imo

I hated how fucking cringy his performance was in that cringy film so much that I never watched any Joaquin Phoenix film ever again

Redpill me on it. He seems like walking cringe Reddit to me

Aidan Gillen - the Dark Knight Rises

>>84106185
tits or gtfo

>>84106094
didn't notice your post, this mine >>84106194

He did get a nomination, Daniel Day-Lewis is god teir in everything even a movie as meh as
Lincoln

>>84106064
Yes and no. The real problem was that while ROTK deserved some oscars it didn't deserve anywhere near the amount it got which were only given to it due to rightfully perceived snubbing in previous years. Basically the judges fucking up two years prior fucked up the ROTK nominations and the great, deserving film that MaC was as well.

>>84106094
This 100%. He was absolutely brilliant in The Master

>>84105679
Meh it was a cartoon villain, overplayed. He made you hate him at least.

>>84106229
>Lincoln
Fuck I couldn't even remember the movie. I've never seen an oscarbait more generic and forgettable

>>84106231
Fellowship deserved the Oscars. More than, what, that Richie Cunningham film?

If it didn't get them it was ok. Two Towers defeats Chicago easily. Could have gotten oscars as a token

Now giving Oscars to Return of the King, the weakest of the trilogy, in a film with Lost in Translation and Mystic River is just non-sense

Is there a bigger meme actor than Daniel Day Lewis? I'm not saying he's a bad actor, he's a brilliant one, but he's so fucking overrated that every time there's any discussion about him it's all just one big circlejerk about how he's the greatest actor to ever live.

>>84106326
The thing is... he really is up there though

He is a meme actor though because his style (method acting) is a meme technique in its self.

>>84106231
It's the weakest film in the trilogy, with the worst acting and special effects. They fucked up with Fellowship but that doesn't mean you give its deserved rewards to an inferior sequel; Two wrongs don't make a right.

>>84106326
The truth is he's been very clever in how he's marketed himself. By deliberately only choosing roles that he likes every couple of years and then completely engrossing himself in them he stacks the deck in his favor as much as possible. Sure he doesn't do as many films as other actors but he makes sure the ones he does do he does incredibly well. By deliberately withholding himself he makes it a huge event every time it's announced he's taken a role.

>>84106483
I know that. Most of the awards that RotK received were cited as awards for the trilogy as a whole and not for the individual film per se.

>>84106326
I saw Lincoln the other day and it was the greatest performance I've ever seen. Stop being such a contrarian cuck. He's allowed to be the best, someone has to be.

>>84106483
The Academy played themselves into a corner with LotR. By snubbing Fellowship and Two Towers so hard they had no choice but give everything to RotK no matter what or lose all credibility. I think they didn't want to give serious oscars to what they considered big, popcorn blockbusters but by the third movie LotR was a cultural event and they had no choice

he wasn't that great in Gladiator

I liked him a lot more in The Master

>>84106618
Two Towers didn't deserve shit, they all got oscars anyway.

Al Pacino not winning for Godfather 2. Gladiator winning over Traffic and Crouching Tiger.

>>84106796
>Gladiator winning over Traffic and Crouching Tiger
This, to be honest. Gladiator is lesser Ridley

>>84105679

Laura Dern should have been nominated for Inland Empire.

And Sheryl Lee for FWWM

>>84106618
Same reason John Wayne won for a True Grit and Leo won for the Revenant: apology oscars. Both performances were really good tho.

it's because hollywood blacklisted him back in the day. he had to do a bit with matthew mcconaughey as a dwarf in tiptoes to bring in some spending money.

>>84105679

>>84107051
>*crawls while grunting in agony for four hours*

Yeah the Revenant was so deep

>>84107399
he did the same shit in wolf of wall street, but it wasn't recognized.

>>84105679

There will never ever ever ever ever be a greater snub than Al Pacino not winning for Godfather Part 2, this shouldn't even be up for debate

Also would have been nice to see Lee Strasberg get an Oscar for Godfather Part 2 as an acknowledgement of his work in grooming some of the greatest actors of all time, but I know it shouldn't be a pity award

>>84107059
The art of this is that is literally involves a white man putting on black face in the 21st century and no one chimps out.

Do that shit today and it wouldnt work.

rosamund pike not winning for gone girl (and losing to julianne moores work in the wrong movie) is up there for me

>>84105679
To be fair I think both Benicio Del Toro and Joaquin Phoenix were on equal ground for that year, 2000 was a pretty fucking good year for movies.
Shame we'll never get epics like Gladiator again.

>>84106129

This really irks me for some reason, I can't think of anything else from 1974 that could have beaten him.

something like that. it was a supposed political thing that upset hollywood.

>Some media outlets reported that Oldman was unhappy with the finished product of The Contender (2000) because DreamWorks had edited the film to reflect pro-Democratic leanings, stirring controversy. The claims were declared sloppy sensationalism by Oldman's manager, Urbanski, who summarized that Oldman was "the least political person he knew", that "neither he nor Oldman had made the statements attributed to them," that they had "produced the film every last cut and frame," and that "DreamWorks did not influence the final cut or have anything to do with it."It has been suggested that Oldman was blacklisted in Hollywood for several years as a result.

It's not really good. I love Clint Eastwood to death and I liked the movie but it just works because it's Clint being Clint. The supporting actors are atrocious.

>>84105679
Joaquin Phoenix is probably the greatest actor of his generation. It's a fucking travesty that he doesn't get more recognition.
But he also said he doesn't care about winning an oscar and bad-mouthed the awards so they probably actively snub him now.

Gyllenhaal not even being nominated for Nightcrawler (in a pretty weak year for best actors) will always upset me majorly

I was rewatching the crucible the other day, he is really good. There is some nepotism by marrying the daughter of the playwright but he is really unconscioubly good.

>>84106618
No, it was because they knew the trilogy was releasing every year and didn't want it to dominate the awards for 3 years in a row
So they held off until the trilogy was done

as much as I hate the academy, I respect the decision

Ted Levine from Silence of The Lambs really should have won for best supporting actor. He's literally the only reason to watch the movie these days. Going back and revisiting the film I always tend to feel like Hopkins gives a rather boring and tedious performance. It never really impressed me all that much. Hannibal is just le smart creepy reddit character. Buffalo Bill is the highlight of the film. He's /ourguy/. Sort of reminds me of old /b/. Pisses me off every time watching that movie knowing that everyone got oscars expect for him. Btw, fuck Jack Palance

The action is mediocre and b-movie tier at some points, you can literally see the wires they use to fly around half the time.
