zenithtim Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Rickman, yeah, but Fiennes doesn't deserve shit for DH2.Oh, and St. Louis is probably the best all around group of nominations I've seen yet.They completely snubbed Hugo, so.. no.

4815162342 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 So fucking disappointed at the DH2 snubs. I told myself to not expect nominations, but WTF. Andy Serkis over Ralph Fiennes and Rickman? Give me a fucking break.Fiennes and Rickman don't belong anywhere near an Oscar shortlist. Both were good with the material they had, but neither had much screentime to actually do anything beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hanna train gotta stop. It`s worse than Melissa McCarthy. The movie was averige, Blanchett was Razzie bad and Ronan is creepy. I`m glad they had to dump her from the Hobbit because the last thing The Hobbit needs is vehemently hated character played by someone so unlikable (on the screen, she`s very bubbly off the screen).Yeah, you really know what everyone likes don't you. Do you listen to yourself sometimes? Or read what you've written? Jesus.Tinker Tailor snubbed COMPLETELY.Well, shit.Could it be that many haven't seen it? Of course this is despite it opening very early on, then again, if these are the British awards, then, wtf.SAG is tomorrow. And there are NO nominations that could annoy me more than hers.Agreed. The performance is so overrated. She plays the character you can take the piss out of in any R-rated comedy or comedy in general. If you're gonna award her for that, might as well retroactively give out awards to Zach G, Rogen and whoever else who's played the part.I`d be super annoyed if Hanna shit made an out of blue showing.Now you sound like a ranting teenager. We all have our own opinions, yeah, but can you at least try not to be so hateful, pedantic and immature when you dislike something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I like Melissa McCarthy in Bridesmaids alot but all this critical attention is kind of ruining it for me, especially since I think Kristen Wiig's performance is so much more worth the attention. She put her heart and soul not only into that performance but into the film/script itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She put her heart and soul not only into that performance but into the film/script itself.I would agree with this. She shows so much more range than McCarthy's atypical performance. I'm not saying McCarthy sucks, but it's not like it is really special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 fish, what do you think of Rooney Mara? "Maramania" aside, I mean.Nothing. I don`t remember her in anything. I don`t even know if I saw her in anything. I must have in TSN but don`t rememeber.Anyway, tomorrow is the judgement day. Will AD disappear in one big Jonestown-like mass self-kill if Maramania doesn`t happen? Will Jeff Wells shave his pompadour if The Artist wins Best Ensamble few months after SAG nom? Stay tuned. I just want to say this to our dead resident Maramaniac Travod:"Stay strong, resist the peer pressure to jump out of the window if Maramania tanks. We love you!"

4815162342 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 She only had 3 scenes in TSN. She was pretty good in those scenes but nothing that would make you go "This young woman will be the next big thing." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I doubt she`ll be the next big thing. She`s starring in a pre-sold movie. Opening something without built-in fanbase is competely different animal as her co-star Craig can tell her. I don`t see that happening.

I can always count on you for a good dosage of caustic sarcasm. I remember hearing all these raves about Rooney Mara last year too with TSN and to this day I still can't recall her part in the movie. Was she the girl he was on a date with at the very, very beginning? If so that was a cameo. It's kind of the same with Albert Brooks this year. I love Drive as much as the next guy, it's my #2 for the year right now, but I didn't leave the theater thinking about his character or that he hit out of the park... When I read the reviews after seeing it I was scratching my head thinking, "Who did he play?" I thought Gosling was the best in that movie.. but whatever. I'm seriously starting to think McCarthy has a shot at Best Actress win. Who is standing in her way? Octavia Spencer? She didn't win shit from the critics.

Noctis Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 McCarthy being nominated would be utterly hilarious and pathetic at the same point. She doesn't deserve that nomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I thought she was pretty good. Edited December 14, 2011 by lab276 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bacon Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I didn't even know who she was in Bridesmaids until I looked her up to be completely baffled. What in the hell did she do in that movie other than be fat and obnoxious? She played the part well, and got a few laughs, but she was a one-note character that isn't hard to pull off. The idea that she is getting Supporting Actress nods is absurd. I mean, as good as the movie was, nobody had an awards-worthy performance except MAYBE Wiig, and even that's a stretch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 They say comedy is harder to pull-of well than drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bacon Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Well, yeah, but she had a character who literally made the same joke throughout the entire movie. It was just her, being fat and obnoxious. I mean, if that's the case, where's the love for Mike Myers as Fat Bastard? He was pretty much the same character, only funnier. Why don't comedians get nominated all the time for the job they do pulling off comedy? Ferrell, Carrey, Segel, and more tend to carry their comedies based on their delivery. Granted, you get the occasional James Franco or Robert Downey Jr nomination, but they got credit largely for doing something so different so well (black guy for Downey Jr, stoner for Franco).

SchumacherFTW Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 So fucking disappointed at the DH2 snubs. I told myself to not expect nominations, but WTF. Andy Serkis over Ralph Fiennes and Rickman? Give me a fucking break. Serkis delivered a phenomenal performance in RotPotA, and elevated it to something far far better than it should have been. His performance and recognition is hopefully a sign that mocap is starting to be accepted. Rickman was good, but only really an extended cameo.

CoolioD1 Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Houston and Toronto main winners up in OP.Anyway, I tallied all the winners in the OP, even though it probably won't mean much, but it's fun.The Artist is in the lead for Best Picture with 6 wins. Tree of Life is the runner up with 3Michel Hazanavicius, Terrence Malick and Martin Scorsese all have 3 wins for DirectorActor is a VERY spread out category with Pitt, Clooney, Fassbender and Shannon all getting two wins each.Michelle Williams is leading actress with 4 wins, runner up is Tilda just behind with 3.Albert Brooks has a huge 8 wins. Christopher Plummer has 4. So far they're the only two people to win that category.Jessica Chastain and Melissa McCarthy () lead supporting actress with three wins each, although McCarthy has the most wins for a single performance since Chastain gets awarded for a bunch of stuff. Runners up are Shailene Woodley and Octavia Spencer with 2 wins each Edited December 14, 2011 by CoolioD1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 This seems to be the most exciting Oscar race in years. Very open right now. The frontrunner is The Artist, but there's a chance Hugo /descendants /Tree of Life win BP. And buzz for Incredibly close is rising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
