ravon80 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 In a just world he'd get in and be the long-suffering vet frontrunner.But we don't live in a just awards world.I'd be happy if he just got in. That way he'd always be "Oscar-nominated actor Gary Oldman" which he f**king deserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Fassbender wasn't as good as I thought he would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I'm sticking with my five of Pitt, Clooney, Dujardin, Fassbender, and Oldman for now. I'll be keeping every single finger and toe crossed that Michael Shannon gets in. He gave the year's truly best performance.

Impact Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Seems strange Oldman would win for playing a good guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Let's just get Oldman a nomination first. I think Clooney has a pretty good lead here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 I kind of find Clooney overrated to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I like him. He's gotten the best reviews of his career. The movie is a hit. His only competition is Pitt and I think his performance is too subtle to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 I should rephrase that-I've never seen it, but I just find him overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 You're certainly not alone. My girlfriend enjoys bashing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 My sister loves him, most girls my age do. Maybe that has something to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdgarJean Dujardin for The ArtistGary Oldman for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, SpyAlt: Michael Fassbender for Shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'd rather switch Leo with Fassbender but it would probably be with Gary Oldman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Is Oldman good or bad in it? It just seems strange if he is the good guy in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 He's the main good character, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Yeah Oldman is the protagonist, he's called in to investigate rumors of a Russian spy in British Intelligence and he leads the investigation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Wow, I just expect him to be a villain because well, he is Gary Oldman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Fassbender > Pitt > ClooneyIMO.I'd like to see Pitt take it though. It's hard to compare them because Fassbender had a more layered, dramatic role. Pitt's was just a consistently very good performance. No wailing needed, he went in there and got the job done with subtlety and charisma. The guy has been so solid for years now. He picks great projects every time and always delivers. He's due, and who knows when his next chance might come up (maybe he will knock it out in that gangster movie he filmed?).Clooney was fine and for once I didn't completely feel like I was watching him play himself, but I still don't see it as something worthy of an Oscar win.
