The 84th Annual Academy Awards Live Discussion

[Swinny]

I hear a lot of people rooting against Clooney, but I really would like to see him win it, he really is great in that movie. Dujardin I'd been okay with too, I guess.

 

[Fuji Vice]

Personally I'd love if Oldman won but there's just no way I see it happening. I cannot believe this is his first nomination.

 

[Swinny]

It is. And it's about damn time he was nominated. He's had so many better performances in better movies though.

It would have been a bittersweet win. How he didn't even get nominated for Best Supporting Actor for The Professional remains one of life's great mysteries.

Glad Dujardin won, he did do a good job, but I would have preferred Clooney getting it tonight.

 

[Swinny]

And can I just say Demian Bichir was freakin' awesome too? Since no one talks about him.

 

[Gentleman Jake]

i just don't get the Clooney hate

 

[Sabretooth]

They say Dujardin is sleeping with George clooney. And as for best picture... I really doubt whose gonna win (sarcasm)

Meanwhile nobody mentioned Pitt's performance. :

i just don't get the Clooney hate

It's the greatest example of jealousy that exists today.

I don't know, there's just something about that performance that didn't stand out to me. He did well, but I think that they could have gotten many other people to play the role and do it just as well, he didn't capture it in the way the others did theirs.

I think Meryl Streep looked to stiff as Margaret thatcher.

I thought Moneyball was a great book that made for a so so film. All in all I don't get the love its gotten from some people. It's not even close to some of the great sports films of all time.

 

[Swinny]

This is the first one I strongly disagree with. Both Viola and Michelle got screwed.

And Meryl might be joking, but that's exactly how I reacted. :tongue1:

I hate to hate on Meryl Streep because she is great, but this was not one of her best performances, or even a practically great one, and was not up to par with the other two mentioned.

Her performance in mamma Mia was far better

I felt strongly that she was going to get it and yeah, that pisses me off a bit because of those that were passed over.

Come on Academy, do something batshit crazy! Give it to War Horse! DO IT! :shifty:
