The sooner people realize that they don't need the Academy selecting your favorite performance/movie to validate your opinions, the better off you'll be.

 

I am excited to see Best Supporting Actor Academy Award Winner Mark Rylance in Dunkirk.

Oh, I'm well aware Stallone still has one of the best performances in 2015, but that man will never have the opportunity to win an Oscar again. This was his one shot at the title. There's no Rocky II!

[KJsooner]

Seriously, One of the things I was looking forward tonight was seeing Sly finally win an award for a role he made famous. EVERYBODY knows about Rocky. It was going to be the highlight of my night, but the academy had to fuck it up by giving it to someone who won't be remembered 15 days from now. FFFUCCKKK THAT NOISE. 

 

What a freaking joke.

Spielberg has that cash. Fucking Academy being fucking psychopaths as always.

lol, academy voters are now psychopaths for nominating Mark Rylance?

[DAR]

Is Stallone's career suddenly null and void because he didn't win?  Like Jayhawk mentioned earlier it's just a silly award

Mad Max totally deserved Best Documentary Short

I agree. The overreaction is real.

 

Did the forum just crash for anyone else? LOL.

 

Yup. The meltdown on this board is real.

The nomination was worthy. Not arguing there.

Hollywood loves Hillary. And hates the people.

By choosing Rylance they also chose another white as fuck movie.

This Sup Actor backlash is not surprising given this forum hard on for Creed and everything Rocky related.

I know guys, it's a shame Stallone didn't win, but let's not take away from Rylance's performance. He was just as good as Stallone.

Stallone's networth is $275 million. Good to know he doesn't have that cash?

I'll eat my sock if Leo doesn't win Best Actor.

I will donate $1000 to the forums if Leo doesn't win so start rooting against him guys.

Well you can forget about Ronan winning. Brie is probably the biggest lock of the night there is.

If Mark Rylance wins Best Supporting Actor, anything is possible

So when an actor most people don't know of wins, it's because he bought the award and/or they only handed it to him because he's their friend.

 

But if Stallone had won, the award is legit?

 

Stallone should have won because he was the best supporting performance this year.  Pretty simple.

[CoolioD1]

out of the two of them i think rylance gets the better career boost from this so that's something. stallone didn't need it as much. rylance is one of the best definitely a dude who deserves an oscar. and bridge of spies is imo the best movie of the bp nominees so i'm glad it won a thing.

[WrathOfHan]

Rylance was pretty good in BOS, deserved a nomination but there were better performances snubbed
