Jack Nevada Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Notsureifserious.jpg I am serious. Both Phoenix and Jackman were faaaaaaar more amazing and impressive than DDL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I didn';t forget about it. I didn't really think DMD was all that good. I don't care for it either. Just in the context of its other nominations especially for best film, editing and screenplay and not to be even nominated for best director was a bit of an omission. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I am serious. Both Phoenix and Jackman were faaaaaaar more amazing and impressive than DDL At Hollywood, and the Academy, nowadays what matters isn't just the talent. It matters if you're a popular actor who had success before. If the things would've stayed the opposite way, with Jackman of Phoenix being as popular and as respected as Daniel Day Lewis (not to include if they had 2 Oscar wins, and DDL being at his third or first nomination), you can imagine that Jackman or Phoenix would've won that for sure...

Jack Nevada Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 They went with the safest choice (DDL) instead of the genuinely best performances 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'd say DDL and Phoenix were equally great and Jackman, while strong, didn't even come within a mile of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, Jackman was the strongest of them all... Opinions are shared... I'm asking myself how big/small the difference in votes were for those three... If we were able to...

Jack Nevada Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'd say DDL and Phoenix were equally great and Jackman, while strong, didn't even come within a mile of them. Jackman's turn was by far the most surprising for me. I never would have expected such an enormously charismatic and jaw-dropping performance. I think he was spectacular 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) What I'm hoping right now is that Jackman will engage in more Oscar worthy movies... He does have talent, but he's making a mistake for staying just in those hollywood blockbusters... Edited February 28, 2013 by ChD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I dunno, I mean I always knew Jackman had tons of charisma and from what I knew about the part I was sure it was tailor-made for him and he'd put his heart and soul into it. To be honest, I might have been more surprised by DDL, because his method techniques are so incredibly well-known now, it's very easy to let your expectations go into stratosphere and be constantly aware that what you're seeing is DDL doing his thing. Yet no matter how high my expectations were, the minute he appeared on screen all I saw was Abraham Lincoln. It was kind of incredible, really, and made me further convinced that DDL has come closest to Marlon Brando than anyone, in a sense that even when you know to expect greatness, and even when you think you're fully prepared for greatness, the actual performance still knocks you right down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Peter Capaldi deserved to win for In the Loop. Yes, even over Christoph Waltz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Nah, as much as I love ITL. Waltz in IB is an all-time great performance, Capaldi just gives some all-time great swearing. He deserved a nom (although I'd argue Tom Hollander deserved one even more), sure, but that was it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Not a big snub, but I think Miller should've been nominated for Perks since he got snubbed for We Need to Talk About Kevin... That guy has talent and the Academy is downright ignoring him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Miller's going to be huge, or at least it'd be a grave injustice if he wasn't. The guy has acting talent & charisma in spades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Did you guys know Peter Capaldi already has an oscar? I found that out recently and was amazed! Awesome. I'd agree that as funny as he is in In The Loop he doesn't really come close to Waltz. No one did that year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Well his was my favorite performance of that year, but Waltz's was the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 he doesn't really come close to Waltz. No one did that year. That makes me wonder sometimes just what would happen if the timing of some of those insanely acclaimed recent performances wasn't as perfect. Imagine, for example, if TDK and Basterds came out in the same year... I could honestly see a tie between Ledger and Waltz. I think the closest we came to that in reality recently was with Streep vs Davis, but the movies' scope was not that big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Damn.... Ledger vs Waltz... That would be a hard choice. I think that Ledger would've won due to what happened to him... As a sign of respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Man, we had three of the best ever supporting roles winning Oscars in a row 2007 Javier Bardem- No Country for Old Men 2008 Heath Ledger- TDK 2009- Christoph Waltz- Inglorious Basterds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
