Who would've won if every Best Actress sweeper this century wasn't nominated?

My guesses:

2001: Ideally Ellen Burstyn (Requiem for a Dream) would've won, but I think Juliette Binoche (Chocolat) probably takes it, given that she made all 4 precursors and had Weinstein power behind her.

2006: Felicity Huffman (Transamerica)

2011: Annette Bening (The Kids Are Alright)

2014: Sandra Bullock (Gravity)

2015: I want to say Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) could've won but I have a feeling that Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything) would've won instead due to being in a stronger awards contender.

2016: Cate Blanchett (Carol)

2018: Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water)

2020: Scarlett Johansson (Marriage Story)

2026: While Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I'd Kick You) was probably the runner-up this year, I have a hard time seeing both actress categories going to lone nominees, so my guess is that Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value) wins with a Buckley-less field.

Sheep detectives future Oscar nominee?

So this is a wild question, but knowing that it won’t get nominations anywhere else, would you possibly consider a nomination in casting for the sheep detectives?

You have a star started cast at least voice wise, but even the human characters are done very well.

I know it is early, but it would be kind of interesting if this movie got into best casting.

As a kid, I used to think that entire jury watches nominated films multiple times and deeply discuss it and fight over it like 12 Angry Men to figure the winner

Turns out they don’t even watch half of these, let alone a deep reflection

What’s the point and credibility of these awards then.

It’s just Russian Roulette.

It’s more like celebrity dinner than anything film appreciation related.

I wonder if American Politics works same, just a bunch of old fucks playing monopoly in real life.

Thoughts on The Fabelmans?

I was rewatching The Fabelmans. it’s been a while. I loved it. Such a wonderful movie. It’s one of my favorite Steven Spielberg movies. I was little bummed that it didn’t win any oscars. I think it should’ve won Best Picture, Best Director for Spielberg again, Best Actress for Michelle Williams, and Score in my opinion. The performances were good especially Michelle Williams. She deserves an Oscar for that. But at least it won 2 Golden Globes. What are your thoughts on The Fabelmans? You think it deserved to win Oscars?

What are Renate Reinsve’s chances for Fjord at the oscars next year?

I heard Fjord is getting acclaimed and rave reviews and Renate Reinsve’s performance. So excited to see it after it comes out. It looks like she might or could possibly win her first Oscar and her second nomination. But I just have to see the film first. Can’t predict her just yet. It’s a long way to go. And I’m gonna see her other film Backrooms next week. Looks like a another good movie to see.

Who came the closest to be nominated for Best Director for a purely animated film?

No one has ever done it. Zemeckis got a DGA nom for Roger Rabbit in 88, but for a pure animated film with no live action elements, I'd say these were closest to getting in.

  1. John Lasseter, Toy Story

  2. Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, Beauty and the Beast

  3. Hayao Miyazaki, The Boy and the Heron

  4. Andrew Stanton, WALL-E

  5. Pete Docter, Up

Performances from movie musicals that deserved Oscar nominations

Samantha Barks as Eponine in Les Miserables (2014), Best Supporting Actress — Her performance of “On My Own” was heartbreaking! Obviously Anne Hathaway got all the awards attention, but Samantha Barks gave my favorite performance of the movie.

Mabel King as Evilline in The Wiz (1978), Best Supporting Actress — She may have been in a tiny part of the movie, but King’s performance of “No Bad News” was my favorite part of the movie, especially since I love a good villain song.

Robert Preston as Harold Hill in The Music Man (1962), Best Actor — Funny, charming, and the face of the show, Preston easily could have followed up his Tony win with an Oscar nomination. The “Ya Got Trouble” song is famous for a reason.

Micheal Crawford as Cornelius Hackl in Hello, Dolly! (1969), Best Supporting Actor — My second favorite movie of all time. I think even though Barbara Streisand was phenomenal, I agree that she was kinda miscast. Micheal Crawford, singing “Put On Your Sunday Clothes” and “It Only Takes A Moment”, was charming as heck. It’s too bad this awesome movie didn’t get any acting nods.

Nancy Kwan as Linda Low in Flower Drum Song (1961), Best Supporting Actress — One of the first American movies with an all Asian cast, this movie did pretty well at the Oscars with 5 nominations, but lost all of them to West Side Story. I think an acting Oscar nod would have been cool, and my favorite performance was easily Linda Low, especially with her number “I Enjoy Being a Girl”. She was the biggest name in the movie, and thus got top billing, but I think she was a supporting role.

Zodiac was the biggest snub in Production Design of 2007. What was the biggest for 2006?

Well this was an incredibly close round for a long time. The Darjeeling Limited, Across the Universe, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. But in a last minute surge, u/spider-man2401's suggestion for Zodiac actually won (Production Design by Donald Graham Burt, Set Decoration by Victor J. Zolfo).

Of all the films to win this game, this might be the most lowkey. There's no giant setpieces, it doesn't have an over-the-top, exaggerated style, even compared to other period pieces - there's no extravagant mansions or big sets to marvel at. But like with films like The Secret Agent, it perfectly captures the 1970s and the subtle mania driven by the Zodiac Killer. From the old files, typwriters and film technology, to the cars, to the clothing, to the police and news headquarters (I wouldn't be surprised if All the President's Men provided some inspiration for the set decor and lighting), it does create a vivid atmosphere. And like another Fincher project Mindhunter, it's the detail and realism of the film as a period piece that makes it an engaging and immersive watch even almost two decades later.

Click here to see the previous round

Now we have to decide what the biggest snub is for 2008. The nominees this year were:

  • Dreamgirls
  • The Good Shepherd
  • Pan's Labyrinth
  • Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
  • The Prestige

Animated films in the screenplay categories

We all know that animation has been overlooked in the Best Picture category. However, animated films found success in the music categories, which was deservedly earned, especially during the Disney Renaissance. While it makes sense for voice actors to not be nominated in acting categories, I am shocked that there hasn’t been an animated film to win Best Screenplay even though nine have been nominated. These films were Toy Story, Shrek (adapted), Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, Toy Story 3 (adapted), and Inside Out. Those films were funny, heartwarming, and endearing for not only kids, but adults as well. As of this writing, it has been 10 years since this feat has occurred. Do you think that we will see an animated film win best screenplay in the near-future? Also, what animated films do you think should have won?

Steven Spielberg should absolutely present best picture at the 100th Oscars

There has been a considerable amount of conversation regarding this topic, but after really thinking about it, I can’t think of anybody else.

There has been conversation about Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet presenting, and while that’s a genuinely awesome idea that would work great, I still say Spielberg all by himself should be the one.

Another phenomenal presenting duo would be Anthony Hopkins, and Jodie Foster, but I think that ship has sailed.

At the end of the day, nobody out there really personifies the grandeur of cinema and the quest for artistic achievement and commercial Hollywood success as Spielberg himself.

What are your thoughts?
