That Michael Giachino/Inside Out didn't get a nod for Best Score is a crime in and of itself

Re: 2016 Oscar Nominations
Aside from Leo getting mauled by a bear & cauterizing a neckwound by igniting gunpowder, it didn't. It was a pretty straight forward revenge movie that was kind of full of itself in its attempt to have an artfulness to it. If there was any symbolism with the constant use of running water, it didn't translate & just made me want to pee.Cassius Clay wrote:I don't know what that's about but it will make you clench.

What? The movie didn't need to be nearly three hours long and I could've done without the constant shots to running water.sikax wrote:

Yep. "kind of full of itself in its attempt to have an artfulness to it" pretty much sums up the director.Unvoiced_Apollo wrote:Aside from Leo getting mauled by a bear & cauterizing a neckwound by igniting gunpowder, it didn't.

Re: 2016 Oscar Nominations
Every person nominated, with the possible exception of Tom Hardy and that Vikander girl whose name I've never even heard before, are the type of people who love the smell of their own farts.

I just found out Brad Pitt was in the Big Short. I did not recognize him at all.

Yep, and Salma Hayek played the grizzly in The Revenant.

Re: 2016 Oscar Nominations
What do you all think was the biggest snub & who/which movie would you replace in that category?
And should live action have its own separate category like animation rather than using Best Picture to recognize one medium most of the time?

Re: 2016 Oscar Nominations
Biggest snub for me is Jason Mitchell (played Eazy-E in Straight Outta Compton) for Supporting Actor. Bale, Hardy and Ruffalo deserve their spots, Sly was OK in Creed, didn't see Bridge of Spies, so I guess I'd replace either Sly or Mark Rylance.
But, of course, it's a flick starring black kids so there's no chance in hell any of the actors could be recognized.

Re: 2016 Oscar Nominations
Oh, forgot about Beasts of No Nation. That deserves acting considerations, especially Abraham Attah. Fuck the Oscars.

Re: 2016 Oscar Nominations
I still haven't seen Creed or Straight Out of Compton, and I love me some Rocky, and I used to own all the NWA CD's. That shit used to be my lullaby. I'd go to sleep with them playing in my little portable CD player with my headsets on. I had to hide them from my mom, cuz she used to throw away my rap tapes and CD's when she found them.
Anyway, I heard that's where black people really got snubbed this year, but I wouldn't know cuz I haven't seen them, although I will. From what I've seen, that little kid from Room got snubbed. Motherfucker got down.

Glad Brie Larson won obviously, but The Revenant took Best Cinematography over Fury Road? Seriously? These people have no goddamn clue about movies. At all. As if wasn't already obvious, but that shit's genuinely embarrassing.

It felt like they trotted out as many black presenters as they could as if to say, "look, we're not racist, here's Pharell Williams, remember when he won an Oscar, and here's Morgan Freeman, we like him."

Re: 2016 Oscar Nominations
I think he said he was the most vulnerable he's been so far, or something. I didn't get that vibe from him at all. Tom freaking Hardy was more vulnerable than he was.
He is simply not a good actor. At all. I think I said he was, but he's not. What he lacks in raw talent and emotional depth he makes up for in intensity. But that's not enough to be a good actor, not by a long shot.

The category is "Best Animated Short" and while I get the artistic choice, the animation was hardly the best among the other nominees. Bear Story deserved it.Derived Absurdity wrote:And I didn't even see, but Fury Road lost best director to The Revenant? Hahahahahaha I don't even have anything to say to that. That's embarrassing.
