[highwhey]

Cinematography easily goes to The Revenant

[ROCSteady]

Mad Max was the best movie of 2015 but there was a couple I didn't see yet

[Verticality]

I want to see some wins from The Revenant, Mad Max, and The Hateful Eight.

[SugarHill]

Cinematography easily goes to The Revenant
mad max should kill costume design and visual effects

[Verticality]

Cinematography easily goes to The Revenant
This. Directing should be down to The Revenant or Mad Max. I'm thinking best picture will be between The Revenant and Spotlight (haven't seen it, but just seems like the type).

[Godzuki]

nominations are such a joke :facepalm

the BET awards have a better selection committee than these pretentious crackers :coleman:

[Legends66NBA7]

Can Leo finally get that Oscar ?

[Verticality]

Hateful 8 should get best original score. I'd like to see JJL get best supporting actress, but not sure she will.

[highwhey]

was mad max really that good of a movie?
Personally I didn't find much appeal to it. I always enjoy a Tom Hardy flick tho, guy cant act for sure.

[KyrieTheFuture]

was mad max really that good of a movie?
No, but it was very entertaining

[SugarHill]

Personally I didn't find much appeal to it. I always enjoy a Tom Hardy flick tho, guy cant act for sure.
maybe you didn't like it because tom hardy doesn't do shit in the movie

[rufuspaul]

was mad max really that good of a movie?


It would get my vote as best film of 2015. It won't win though. The academy voters love period pieces and ensemble dramas, not so much post-apocalyptic action films.

[highwhey]

maybe you didn't like it because tom hardy doesn't do shit in the movie
I would pass on the movie receiving any awards simply because it seemed like a pointless remake film. Much like Point Break.

Side rant: has any covered song ever received an award? Why should a remake film be a candidate for any award?

[rufuspaul]

It wasn't a remake.

pointless remake film? comparing it to point break? Have you even seen it?

[Godzuki]

It would get my vote as best film of 2015.


mine too

most other movies were extremely overrated like the martian :facepalm lool@ Matt Damon nominee :oldlol:

sooo many overrated and overhyped movies in 2015. mad max was like the only one that exceeded expectations :applause:

[highwhey]

It wasn't a remake.
Wasnt it the same as the original?

[ROCSteady]

Mad Max was an instant classic the second you walked out of the theater.


It made the biggest impression on pop culture out of all the movies that came out and will continue to once the years pass.

The plot wasn't particularly complicated but the nuances were on point the whole way.

Amazing art design, costume design and world-building. Plus, one of the most intimidating and memorable villains ever on screen.

I believe no other movie will stand the test of time the way Mad Max: Fury Road is gunna go down

[SugarHill]

Also a remake has already won Best Picture - The Departed.

[highwhey]

To each his own but I felt like I watched a silent film.

[rufuspaul]

Wasnt it the same as the original?

In the original Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson) is a cop who goes on a revenge rampage after his family is killed by bandits.


Fury Road happens much later.

[rufuspaul]

What are Leo's chances? Is he the favorite for Best Actor?

I think he has pretty good odds.

[KyrieTheFuture]

How can a movie without a story win best movie?

[alenleomessi]

What are Leo's chances? Is he the favorite for Best Actor?
1/10 according to skybet :oldlol:

put your money on fassbender @8


the revenant will dominate but leo isnt getting it again.. hardy wont get it either.. they will give best supporting to stallone as a lifetime achievement

[highwhey]

What are Leo's chances? Is he the favorite for Best Actor?
Have you watched The Revenant? Great film but I'm not sure. I hope he does win tho. From the sound of it, they went through a lot of trouble finishing the movie because of the weather conditions and finally had to move the set from Argentina to Canada.

[Verticality]

Personally I didn't find much appeal to it. I always enjoy a Tom Hardy flick tho, guy cant act for sure.
I assume this is a typo, especially because of the lead in.

[Verticality]

I would pass on the movie receiving any awards simply because it seemed like a pointless remake film. Much like Point Break.

Side rant: has any covered song ever received an award? Why should a remake film be a candidate for any award?
You just lost all credibility.

[highwhey]

I assume this is a typo, especially because of the lead in.
Yes I meant he CAN act.

[Verticality]

Wasnt it the same as the original?
Not even close. It is close to the sequel though, Road Warrior. Still, the similarities are in design and action, not the story besides the chase aspect (which is limited in both Fury Road and Road Warrior).

[Verticality]

How can a movie without a story win best movie?
I doubt it will. It has an outside shot because of all the other technical aspects, but it is more likely to just win those technical awards and not the big award.

[Godzuki]

How can a movie without a story win best movie?


it has a story but more importantly because its easily the most entertaining movie of the year?

do people go to watch movies for sight seeing(cinematography)?

do people go to watch movies just to see one dude over-act?

or do people go to watch movies for entertainment value?

thats why critics are such a fukkin joke these days. pretentious ass fgts who have lost sight of what is most important in rating a movie good :coleman:

mad max is one of the GOAT action movies of all time :bowdown: people will forget about every other generic flick in 2015 within a few months...its like the same hurt locker critical acclaim glorifying assholes and yet nobody today puts that anywhere into top tiers, let alone memorable. fukkin clowns :facepalm:

[Verticality]

1/10 according to skybet :oldlol:

I love Fassbender and believe he is a better actor than Leo, but I'm tired of biopics getting most of the best actor love. It begins to feel forced. Revenant is technically a biopic, but I don't think Leo's portrayal is meant to be accurate to the actual person, thus he has made it his own. There is just so much more to acting than impersonating.

A little of each.

[highwhey]

Not even close. It is close to the sequel though, Road Warrior. Still, the similarities are in design and action, not the story besides the chase aspect (which is limited in both Fury Road and Road Warrior).
So you concede there is very little originality in the this mad max film? Which is my point.

[rufuspaul]

Yeah, the academy voters love biopics, even more so if the person being portrayed was in the industry.

The 2 things Leo has in his favor:

Period piece
Hot Director, not named Scorcese

I'm honestly surprised to see you stan a movie so celebrated by feminists.

[highwhey]

You just lost all credibility.
Don't get your panties in a bunch because I made a comparison.


The original point break had reeves blending in with surfers that were criminals. I have not watched the new one but from the looks of it, they are much more than surfers. They're workd class athletes that sky jump and whatnot. The trailer showed scenes in europe, not california.

[rufuspaul]

So you concede there is very little originality in the this mad max film? Which is my point.


It was unlike any film I've ever seen, including all the previous Mad Max films.

[Godzuki]

A little of each.


oh please....if you dont rate entertainment value much higher than the other 2 then theres something wrong with you.

besides we're talking about most people, the basis of a successful movie...its without a doubt entertainment value hands down :coleman:

[Verticality]

So you concede there is very little originality in the this mad max film? Which is my point.
Sure. I was just saying it isn't close to the original, but I do see very little originality between it and part 2. However, the execution in this movie is amazing, which is enough to make it a contender.

[highwhey]

Only film I've watched from any of the nominations was Inside Out. :lol

Im gonna have to watch Mad Max and Revenant though. And maybe one more from the Best Picture list. What would you suggest?
You'll most likely enjoy creed if you were a rocky fan. Sicario was good as well.

[Verticality]

Most movies have little originality in them anyway. At this point execution is key. The Revenent is very similar to The Edge, but significantly better.

[Verticality]

You'll most likely enjoy creed if you were a rocky fan. Sicario was good as well.
Ok, your credibility is beginning to repair itself.

[rufuspaul]

Only film I've watched from any of the nominations was Inside Out. :lol

The Big Short was hilarious and The Martian was good popcorn fun. I haven't seen the others.

[Godzuki]

I'm honestly surprised to see you stan a movie so celebrated by feminists.


lol thats the first i heard that one :lol

those bitches were basically herded from A to B. sure Theron was a main character but it still depicted most women as weak.

either way i dont care about that political crap. if its good its good :applause:

[Verticality]

oh please....if you dont rate entertainment value much higher than the other 2 then theres something wrong with you.

Does that mean we should just give Star Wars all the awards? We have to consider technical aspects of movies if we are going to at least pretend there is some objective measure of what makes a movie deserving of awards. Maybe you should just stick to the MTV Movie Awards.

[highwhey]

The Big Short was hilarious and The Martian was good popcorn fun. I haven't seen the others.
I agree with the big short - ryan goslin is hilarious.

[Verticality]

lol thats the first i heard that one :lol

those bitches were basically herded from A to B. sure Theron was a main character but it still depicted most women as weak.

either way i dont care about that political crap. if its good its good :applause:
Yeah, it was commonly perceived as a feminist movie.

[Godzuki]

You'll most likely enjoy creed if you were a rocky fan. Sicario was good as well.


Sicario was decent and entertaining but overrated too. you could watch 3, 4 episodes of a TV cops vs drug lords show and it'd have been similar.

there is something pathetically average about these type of movies IMO, probably because TV shows have done them so many times over.

like u wont see a sci fi tv show close to the level of star wars. u wont see a action tv show close to the level of mad max. but there are dozens of cop tv shows very equivalent to Sicario :coleman:

[rufuspaul]

those bitches were basically herded from A to B. sure Theron was a main character but it still depicted most women as weak.



They counted on Theron to save them but then followed her back to become the new leaders of the settlement, destroying the old misogynistic society.

[KyrieTheFuture]

lol thats the first i heard that one :lol

those bitches were basically herded from A to B. sure Theron was a main character but it still depicted most women as weak.

either way i dont care about that political crap. if its good its good :applause:
Oh **** off you brought up it's impact on pop culture and then feign ignorance about it being feminist? Probably 80% of the buzz it got was from women. It's a movie about women breaking free from oppressive men and being free. Feminism.

It was entertaining. It's not an award winning film.

[highwhey]

Sicario was decent and entertaining but overrated too. you could watch 3, 4 episodes of a TV cops vs drug lords show and it'd have been similar.

Lol wut?

I've never seen a tv show have a character like benicio del toro's character in the film.

[Verticality]

So now a movie has to have a budget bigger than TV shows and show off that budget to be worthy of awards? Because that is the only thing that gives sci fi movies a grander scale than TV shows, while crime movies simply don't require the budget, but that in no way reduces their quality.

[Verticality]

Lol wut?

I've never seen a tv show have a character like benicio del toro's character in the film.
Godzuki is clearly what is wrong with American audiences. He cares little about themes, writing, art direction, etc. All he cares about is if the budget is big enough to give him visuals he finds entertaining. People like him are the reasons why Transformers gets sequel after sequel.

[Godzuki]

Does that mean we should just give Star Wars all the awards? We have to consider technical aspects of movies if we are going to at least pretend there is some objective measure of what makes a movie deserving of awards. Maybe you should just stick to the MTV Movie Awards.


or maybe u should just keep butt fukking the other pretentious gheys in the ass pretending u know good movies, that nobody gives a fukk about once the hype dies down. i BET u were one of them fgts bandwagoning the hurt locker when it was winning everything :lol

Star Wars wasn't even THAT great. if it was it should easily have been in best picture if it counted towards 2015.

lets just say most of these movies u pretentious ass fgts herald rarely have lasting residual greatness. its like all of u are sheep piling on fads...like leo right now with Revenant. not saying he doesnt deserve i dont know but its such a fad right now to give it to him it'd be shocking if he doesnt get it based on that bandwagon train alone.

shakespeare in love winning over Saving Private Ryan is still one of the biggesst jokes to me too. critics and these technical movie ratings fgts are the worst :facepalm:

[Godzuki]

ure that fgt who goes to watch a fight but comes away happy it turns into a game of chase :facepalm

you''re pretentious and full of ureself with the technicals only you and a small population of movie goers give a fukk about. you cater to ure own small minority self righteous opinion that is so off point in the whole idea of what the medium is predicated.

talk as snobby fgt as u want about how beautiful the picture looked, one actors over-acting, and add all of that together because even if u multiplied those facets by 50 it still doesn't come close to the importance of overall entertainment value.

people who have bad, minority opinions shouldnt be advising anyone, let alone judging :coleman:

[highwhey]

:lol

[Godzuki]

Lol wut?

I've never seen a tv show have a character like benicio del toro's character in the film.

lol benicio just acted like a aloof mystery 3/4's of the movie...

i mean i liked Sicario, i walked away satisfied enough, but in the end and down the line it feels just like another tv cop vs drug lords show. tv shows are good these days too so its not like i'm comparinig it to something bad, just saying these type of movies and same with Traffic for example feel a lot more redundant and less epic than the ones you can't find on TV a thousand times over.

[ZeN]

Hateful 8 should get best original score. I'd like to see JJL get best supporting actress, but not sure she will.
What merits prove her worthy of winning?

[Godzuki]

:lol



u should be laffing at ureself judging movies but haven't even seen road warrior :lol

thats the thing about ISH movie opinions that is a joke to me. sooo many mfers with bad opinins here haven't even seen the GOAT stapled movies with so little basis to judge.

its why rate the last movie thread is like 3/4's horrible opinionated shit :facepalm

neg me for being honest sheltered fgts :pimp:

[Godzuki]

Oh **** off you brought up it's impact on pop culture and then feign ignorance about it being feminist? Probably 80% of the buzz it got was from women. It's a movie about women breaking free from oppressive men and being free. Feminism.

its easily in contention for GOAT action movie and for that reason alone it should get awards.

while no other movie this year will make anyones GOAT lists and forgotten about a year or two from now.

sad reality is most people and especially the critics follow fads that dont stand the test of time. Hurt Locker with the Iraq war is a case in point and every critic praised it like it was a GOAT movie at the time. nobody today thinks that whatsoever

critics and the like minded are the worst :facepalm

[Verticality]

I know it wasn't that great. But many people were highly entertained by it, much more so than many other nominees, so by your standards, it should be in contention for best picture. :hammerhead:

[Verticality]

What merits prove her worthy of winning?
I'm not saying she is worthy of winning. It is just rooting interest because I enjoyed that movie.

[Godzuki]

I know it wasn't that great. But many people were highly entertained by it, much more so than many other nominees, so by your standards, it should be in contention for best picture. :hammerhead:


well it probably should be considering the nominee's...but it obviously wont because its not pretentious enough. they are bias towards movies that take themselves too seriously with very elitist snobby tastes in shit. they want caviar and would never touch buffalo wings despite buffalo wings tasting better :coleman:

[ZeN]

I'm not saying she is worthy of winning. It is just rooting interest because I enjoyed that movie.
I also like the actress and having watched H8ful Eight, I dont see why she deserves an award for that performance. Unless those punches were real and shes just getting some credit for bleeding.

[highwhey]

[Verticality]

its easily in contention for GOAT action movie and for that reason alone it should get awards.



Anchorman is easily in contention for GOAT pure comedy movie and for that reason alone it should get awards. Come on it, had more staying power than Sideways. Maybe it should have been nominated for best picture over Sideways.

[Godzuki]

I'm not saying she is worthy of winning. It is just rooting interest because I enjoyed that movie.

it's the same score from 1977

It's not even a top 5 action movie

#OscarsSoWhite is trending

all the candidates are white



maybe...white people are just better actors :lol

[KyrieTheFuture]

how is Star Wars up for 'original score'?


it's the same score from 1977
The theme song is the same

Edit: My favorite part of #OscarsSoWhite is the people they suggest being nominated. Elba in a movie no one cares about and Jordan in a ****ing Rocky movie. No Rockie Movie will get best actor. Stallone didn't deserve to be nominated for the first one either, great movie, not exactly a masterpiece of acting.

[~primetime~]

So the problem isn't that the Academy is ignoring minorities...the problem is the lack of films featuring minorities.

[ZeN]

#OscarsSoWhite is trending

maybe...white people are just better actors :lol
Whats always funny to me is that they focus on all white, but dont highlight who are these other people that should have been nominated of color. It shouldnt be about black, white, asian, hispanic.. It should be about whos acting performances are deserving of a win/nomination. So who are these other people that got snubbed? Thats what I would be more curious to consider.

[dazzer87]

Tom Hardy, The Revenant..........:applause:

Gotta disagree here. I thought Stallone was brilliant in the first Rocky. Rivaled Marlon Brando in 'On the Waterfront'. And he is the favorite to win supporting actor for Creed. It wouldn't be a lifetime achievement award either, dude killed it.

[KyrieTheFuture]

It would absolutely, undeniably be an achievement award.

[DonDadda59]

It would absolutely, undeniably be an achievement award.

How so? Who had a better supporting performance than him?

I've seen Creed (which was better than some of the film nominees) and most of the other contenders. Personally, I don't think anyone mentioned was better than Sly.

If anyone is up for a lifetime achievement award it's Leo.

[~primetime~]

If anyone is up for a lifetime achievement award it's Leo.
I haven't seen Revenant...but yep :lol

I'm sure Leo was squinting harder than ever in it...

Actually his eyes are bulging out his damn head the entire movie. He's basically a second away from passing out due to pain all movie.

I love Sly but he's legit the same character in every movie. I would give Bale the supporting nod. I haven't seen spotlight though

You just went full retard. That shits absurd.

If anything, his performance had more range and nuance.

This Scene (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SDJj9yyqds) >>> This Scene (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBiewQrpBBA)

Props to Burgess Meredith (who was nominated for best supporting actor). Sly went toe to toe with him. Wrote the damn movie too. :bowdown:

[Verticality]

surely the masses do not consider anchorman anywhere close to goat comedy :biggums:

bad example :sleeping
As close as Fury Road is considered to GOAT action. Heck, Fury Road is only about 50/50 by the masses for GOAT of the franchise with Road Warrior.

[Verticality]

So the problem isn't that the Academy is ignoring minorities...the problem is the lack of films featuring minorities.
Excellent point. However, the roles that black people are nominated seem to have to fit a type: It is pity the black people from the past, or root against them in the present. Like being a slave. Even Denzel's win was for being a crooked cop.

[Verticality]

Actually his eyes are bulging out his damn head the entire movie. He's basically a second away from passing out due to pain all movie.


Leo is no longer acting. The look in his face throughout the movie is simply desperation for an award.

It's been painful to watch the man pander for awards. Even when he went full retard in Gilbert Grape he was much more natural/not so much a try-hard.

[ArbitraryWater]

If that happens, you can be bet your ass Leo is going for a tranny role

Redmayne first ever with consecutive Oscar wins? Already just one down on the record?

That'd be funny.

[DonDadda59]

Keaton should've won last year. Oscars f*cked up because you know they would love nothing more than to give the award to someone going tranny but now they can't because they don't want to spoil Eddie.

I want him to win one so he can just go into movies for entertainment sake. Maybe if the right superhero movie came along, he could be a good villain. His only "fun" role in the last decade was Django, but even that I assume he took because you can actually win awards in fun Tarantino films.

[ArbitraryWater]

Keaton should've won last year. Oscars f*cked up because you know they would love nothing more than to give the award to someone going tranny but now they can't because they don't want to spoil Eddie.

LMFAO so ****ing true :oldlol:

I want Fassbender to win...because he is a better actor than Leo

Why would they nominate one of the slowest and most durdling screenplays of the year?

The Hateful 8 was a shit movie. Accept with it and get Tarantino's balls out of your mouth

[Rose]

Spotlight, 100%.

Whether you like the Hateful Eight or not, dude writes the best dialogue.





Also, The Revenent is getting so f*cking overrated.
Only one I haven't watched yet. :lol If you said Ex Machina, I probably would have agreed.

I just feel like Hateful Eight didn't bring it on usual QT levels in terms of anything: acting, directing, dialogue, etc. Not that it was bad, just that I didn't feel like it was better than any of the others. It was still an enjoyable watch, but not up to his normal stuff IMO.

[Godzuki]

As close as Fury Road is considered to GOAT action. Heck, Fury Road is only about 50/50 by the masses for GOAT of the franchise with Road Warrior.


ummm pretty sure Fury Road scored over 90% RT audience, think maybe even 95%. many calling it one of the best action movies of all time, and certainly some of the best action sequences of all time.

anchorman is nowhere near that claim to fame's :biggums:

[Lakers Legend#32]

Straight Outta Compton should get best wardrobe.

[Godzuki]

fury road for action. sicario if u liked Traffic. star wars for scifi even tho its overhyped.

the martian was probably the most overrated movie in the last 10 years~

hateful8 was probably the worst movie in the last 10 years~

sadly none of the super hero movies this year were that great. antman and avengers2 were okay but not up to last years rep.

Ex Machina deserves the Original Screenplay award. The rest of the nominees are pretty wack tbh.

[Thorpesaurous]

BEST PICTURE

The Big Short
Bridge of Spies
Brooklyn
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Martian
The Revenant
Room
Spotlight

I haven't seen The Revenant yet, and haven't seen Bridge of Spies or Brooklyn. The rest were all excellent. I liked Ex Machina and Hateful 8 a lot, but I'm fine with neither being nominated. The Martian I enjoyed, but it doesn't have to be here. Of the rest, nothing really stands out over the others.

BEST ACTOR

Bryan Cranston, Trumbo
Matt Damon, The Martian
Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant
Michael Fassbender, Steve Jobs
Eddie Redmayne, The Danish Girl

I haven't seen anything yet but Damon in The Martian. It's a really good performance because of the amount of work he has to do. But it's a tough sell.

BEST ACTRESS

Cate Blanchett, Carol
Brie Larson, Room
Jennifer Lawrence, Joy
Charlotte Rampling, 45 Years
Saoirse Ronan, Brooklyn

Brie Larson was great in Room, but I actually thought the kid's performance was more remarkable, in part because he was just a kid. I didn't see anything else, and didn't really have much interest in anything else other than Joy, which I was disappointed by the reviews of.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR

Christian Bale, The Big Short
Tom Hardy, The Revenant
Mark Ruffalo, Spotlight
Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies
Sylvester Stallone, Creed

I saw Bale, Stallone and Ruffalo. I will get to Hardy. I liked Bale's performance. Weird and tense, so just like most of Bale's stuff. But the character felt so disjointed from the rest of the movie. I actually liked the Gosling and Carell performances better.
Stallone was great. That character just has so much history built into it, it allowed him to do so much without overselling. He's probably the biggest favorite in the whole show.
But honestly I though Ruffalo did the best work. He sold so much about that character's relentless hunt for information without having to overdo it. A really great performance, and a really great movie that just probably isn't flashy enough to win much.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS

Jennifer Jason Leigh, The Hateful Eight
Rooney Mara, Carol
Rachel McAdams, Spotlight
Alicia Vikander, The Danish Girl
Kate Winslet, Steve Jobs

Again, I saw nothing but Jennifer Jason Leigh and Rachel McAdams. The McAdams role was ok, but just overshadowed by to much other good work in that movie. Frankly I'm surprised she's in here. I though Jennifer Jason Leigh's work is surprisingly important and very broad in Hateful. She plays evil, overtly comedic, sympathetic, all while being the maguffin for the whole movie. But I seriously doubt they'll be giving an actress award to a movie with one woman who gets punched in the face the entire time.

DIRECTING

Adam McKay - The Big Short
George Miller - Mad Max: Fury Road
Alejandro G. I

[AceManIII]

there aren't too many critically acclaimed writers and directors writing for minorities.

That's honestly the problem; gonna keep seeing stuff like #oscarssowhite because of it.

Won't be watching it anyway

[Vragrant]

How is Matt Damon nominated for best actor? He was so....average in the Martian. I think the guy is a little overrated

[Graviton]

They nominated the martian for best picture?
The Martian won the Golden Globe for best movie in "COMEDY" category. :lol

[Terahite]

Ex Machina needed a best picture nod.

Not to mention acting noms. The two male leads, Oscar Isaac and Domhnall Gleeson, gave superior performances to Matt Damon or Leo Dicraprio in their respective forgettable flicks. :lol

http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/2015212/rs_560x415-150312111956-1024-Ex_Machina.jpg

If Disney had any real business sense as opposed to total avarice they would've been actively promoting these two actors (both of whom feature in the new Star Wars) for acting noms for Ex Machina, if for any other reason than to get people more interested in them for the upcoming bombs. :biggums:

[T_L_P]

Fassbender should get Best Actor, though Isaac had by far the best year for a Hollywood star. Ex Machina, A Most Violent Year, Force Awakens. Not to mention Llewyn Davis last year. :bowdown:

Also, Di Caprio is the most overrated actor ever it seems. There are a considerable amount of better actors who didn't win an Oscar (Phoenix, Fassbender, O'Toole, Ford, Oldman, Norton etc).

Leo is a very good actor who deserved most of his nominations, but he never had the best performance of the year. Just look at other noms in the same year as him and you'll see.

93: Postlethwaite and Fiennes, better performances.

05: Don Cheadle, better performance.

07: He and Whitaker both have great cases. By no means a snub.

14: McConaughey, Ejiofor, Dern, all better.

15: Fassbender, better. Still not seen The Danish Girl.

[DonDadda59]

Go fock yourself. In the most respectful way I mean that obv.


JLaw is a horrible choice of best actress nod.
Leo should win the oscar, quite clearly the best performance of the year, way too gritty and realistic to be ignored.

[SexSymbol]

Mad Max is just brainless action nothing else, The Martian is pretentious junk not unlike Matt Damon himself. I have heard good things about The Revenant but haven't seen it yet.
Mad Max is not brainless. It has many themes going to it. It's the best paced movie at least of the last 16 years.

I don't get how anybody could call martian pretentious junk. It managed to be serious while maintaining a very good sense of humor with a very realistic performance by damon, who has a good case for being the best actor working today.

[Shade8780]

Isnt fassbender Irish? Hes got a best actor nom. Probably deserves the win tbh.
oh shit yeah

man we are taking over everything fam

first we took over ufc
then wwe
then boxing
now we taking over hollywood

[T_L_P]

93 should be his...

Not imo. You know my thoughts on Schindler's List and I still think Fiennes was much better. Postlethwaite deserved it over both of them.

Fassbender has already been snubbed once (12 Years a Slave). Hopefully not again.

Acting cold and injured, because he's cold and injured, makes it the best performance of the year?

Hardy completely stole his thunder in the film. That was an actual performance.

That's a stretch.

And the Martian was a snoozefest. I wouldn't call it pretentious junk. It is more like populist Oscar bait junk. It felt like a paint by the numbers Ron Howard movie. Ridley Scott needs to stop dicking around and get to making Prometheus 2 already.

It's not a stretch.
You have revenge, liberation, helping others, trust, sadness, joy, intensity, grittyness, love. Not many movies have more layers to it, the action and visuals, both of which where absolutely fantastic, just completely overshadow those aspects of the movie. Furiosa was one of the best acting gigs of the year, and definitely more deserving of an oscar than frickin joy

Honestly, The Revenant is a movie that I have no interest in seeing. It seems like one of those movies where "if you love movies you should see it" just for the sake of discussion. From everything I know about it it seems dull and overwrought.

It's not dull, it's pretty awesome with a cool setting and time period you don't usually see in movies. The single shot battle scene in the beginning is amazingly shot, one of the coolest things I've ever seen, and Tom Hardy and Leonardo Di Caprio are both badass.


Only a fool would skip this movie.

It's worse than that. It's a movie that is made to appear smart for people who only watch high concept films.

It's a big action Western with star power. But the people involved (especially Inarritu and Di Caprio) want you to think it's just so contemplative. Minimal dialogue; long, sweeping shots of the wilderness; extreme characters.

It's quite vapid when you think about it but, as I said, it masquerades as a thought-provoking experience. Such a disappointment after Birdman.

@SexSymbol: Leo has said many times that it was an extremely taxing shoot. You can see that on the screen. That doesn't make it a performance however, and especially not a great one. It's the most obvious Oscar-bait performance I've seen from an actor since J. Edgar. There's no subtlety, no ability to make his scenes about anything other than him. Like I said before, Tom Hardy was leaps and bounds ahead of him in this film.

Stop projecting breh. I'm pretty sure you're the only one who thinks that.

It's not really vapid. Man vs nature. Man vs man. It is quite simple.

The most oscar bait role this year is Eddie Redmayne playing a 19th century tranny.

I'm with you.

There are obviously bad films in every era. And some gems in each era as well.

The post-download era though is littered with garbage, because people no longer go to the movies for quality. They can download quality in a few months when it comes out. They go to the movies for special effects or something with cultural hype that everyone is seeing and they have to see too.

Studios put far less emphasis on quality scripts now. It's painfully obvious.
