Yeah, sure. Whatever that movie just pissed me off on a deep level

You're too easily offended.

You're too easily offended.

Dude, thats just going too far. This is a fucking outrage.

[ecstasy]

I actually think the movie does a good job of not trivialising it or making the holocaust seem light or whatever. I used to have the same feelings as you but I grew a higher appreciation of it when I was studying it for my film studies class a while back.

Haha Tommy in your Avatar.

Has Benigni said anywhwere if he influenced by Schindler's List? there are many similarities.

Two third-time winners in one night? Wawa-wee-wa

[fishstick]

Does Philip Seymor Hoffman really have that big of a chance?

Yes because he`s a category fraud like Waltz. More screen time, more to do with the character.

[fishstick]

Does Chastain know this "girl power" nonsense is so 1999 ???Ginger spice indeed.

Solid gold.

[Gopher]

Yes because he`s a category fraud like Waltz. More screen time, more to do with the character.

He's definitely not category fraud. It's a big supporting role but it's still a supporting role. I just realized that 8 out of the 16 acting nominations are from Weinstein! LOL.

[fishstick]

Than Waltz is winning because he`s de facto c-fraud and c-frauds rarely lose.

I can't think of any recent BSA winner who wasn't category fraud? Plummer, Bale, Waltz, Ledger, Bardem were all definitely supporting roles.

[acsc1312]

Bardem is probably the most category fraud winner ever. They knew he had no chance against DDL, just like everyone this year. I would LOVE a PSH and Amy Adams sweep. Adams' performance is really underrated (mostly here). She was basically running the show and had some badass scenes (THANKS TO A INCREDIBLE SCRIPT AND DIRECTOR, ACADEMY!!). It would be hilarious if it won all the acting noms.

Not happenning

[acsc1312]

I know, but it's fun to dream. I fully believe PSH will win, though.

[riczhang]

Next year will probably be even more unpredictable. The talk in the Academy is to move nominations up one more week, and move the oscar ceremony to the beginning of February (Around the current BAFTA timeslot). That's just going to be hectic, because at that point we'll probably see acting categories being as unpredictable as this year's directors. Looking at the schedule for next year if they're going to be moving it up again, we could see maybe only 1 or 2 sure things in each category.

I think that if it isn't TLJ, it'll be either PSH or DeNiro.

[acsc1312]

I think PSH will have more traction, as he was nominated for CWW and Doubt (which he probably would've won if Ledger weren't there.)

[Michael Gary Scott]

I hope i can see amour before feb 24. To see if she is as great as chastain and lawrence so i can be happy with whoever wins even though im pulling for lawrence.
