Kylizzle Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 1 hour ago, Dr. Alexander said: I just finished Aftersun. Can someone please explain to me as to why Paul Mescal was nominated? I didn’t see anything remotely award-worthy or even interesting about his performance. Frankie Corio stole every scene they were in together. I’m confused. I thought he was brilliant. The barely-hidden depression while trying to be there for his daughter was masterfully acted, especially the scuba diving scene and the dancing scene in particular. Tbh Corio could've made it into leading actress if it hadn't been so competitive. My favorite child performance since Jacob Tremblay in Room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
family.guy123 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 In the future, Academy members should just purposely violate the rules campaigning for somebody they don’t like to get their nomination revoked 🤷♂️ anyway, let these pressed privileged actresses whinge all they want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Miracles Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 7 hours ago, hausofdave said: This could be seen as a direct violation of the Academy’s campaign rules, specifically no. 11: “References to Other Nominees. Part B reads: “any tactic that singles out ‘the competition’ by name or titles is expressly forbidden.” [End of Excerpt] Seems like a open and shut case to me, the rule was violated. So the nomination should get rescinded. Andrea was the executive producer of To Leslie, so it’s very likely she was aware of the post on the official page Two weeks ago there were not set Oscar nominees yet, so that already voids the point you're trying to make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ultimately believe his nomination is the result of AMPAS voters being influenced by someone very respectable in the Academy. I find it quite interesting the producer of the film is Barry Jenkins… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about my preference but I think in terms of who's most likely to win, it would be Farrell > Fraser > Butler >>> Mescal/Nighy Farrell is seen as overdue for a win + I think Bansees will overperform. Fraser is strong but is unpopular in some circles. I think there is a potential opposition for his win that Farrell doesn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I watched TAR and while the movie started very boring (the interview at the beginning almost made me fell asleep) it gets so much better later Cate was amazing and honestly she has the better performance of the Best Actress nominees I've seen so far. Her and Michelle Yeoh are both deserving to win and any of them would have won over last year's nominees so Miss Chastain got very lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it quite interesting the producer of the film is Barry Jenkins… That's not it. There's two reasons That category was weak. It was either him or Tom Cruise and the movie is critically acclaimed and I would say it has some kind of cult following. This was the Academy giving the movie something.

They're not goin to make a exception for this guy, as amazing as he was. I'd say George Mackay was even better in 1917. he got nada. 2 hours ago, enchanted0 said: Watched EEAAO and what is this mess?

I'm not complaining though, I'm mesmerized by this guy every time I watch him in something. give me more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
