Jake Gittes Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Yeah Larson will be standing there dreading that she might have to read Casey Affleck's name/hoping that it's Denzel instead and she won't have to force herself to smile.

BirdMan Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Honestly Affleck's performance was very far ahead of the other 4 , people shouldn't wish him to lose because of something personal that happened in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't affect his chances to win but yeah it's disguisting. I didn't know about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 i think it's also because brie larson has been very involved in charity work and the like with sexual assault survivors that she's surely not gonna be happy with giving casey the oscar because whether you want it to be just about the art or not (spoiler it isn't) folks are gonna see that as an implicit endorsement that the behavior is OK. She hasn't said anything about it publicly but she's liked tweets that talked shit about affleck so her feelings are pretty clear. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta uphold that Oscars tradition. Yeah, it would be nice in the sense of passing the torch, but I can see how it could get awkward if someone wins back to back and had to present to themselves.

I do think it should be about the art but she's got every right to not be happy about this. Though if she really didn't want to be the one to hand Affleck the statue she had plenty of time to approach the organizers or whoever about it and talk to them about arranging something different this year I dunno. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She likely didn't do that because it would look really bad on her part to break tradition. She'll just suck it up and if she has to give Affleck the award she'll fake her way through it. Luckily she's a really good actress to begin with. Edited February 18, 2017 by filmlover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 yeah even though she's an oscar winner she's still pretty unknown and doesn't have any industry power so a lot of young actors just do what they're told and don't rock the boat in any way cos they might be worried it'll effect their careers. if someone like Jlaw cared about that sort of thing (i'm guessing she wouldn't anyway because 3 DOR movies and counting) she would probably pull the strings to get it switched around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
