Gotta be Kunis in whatever this was, for me.

Renate Reinsve should’ve been an Oscar winner and got her first nomination for this movie. She deserved it. It‘s one of my favorite performances of hers. I’m looking forward for her next movie Fjord. Do you agree she should’ve got nominated and won Best Actress at the oscars?

List of Winners: Acting Quartets

Previous Post: Sophia Loren (Two Women) & Paul Newman (The Hustler) win for Best Actress and Actor. Who should have won Best Supporting Actress & Actor in 1961?

No movie ever won all 4 but 12 of the 15 movies won at least 1. My Man Godfrey, Sunset Boulevard and American Hustle are the only ones that didn't win any of the 4 acting awards. However Sunset Boulevard is the only one that did win some Oscars despite not winning any for acting

• Gone with the Wind - Vivien Leigh and Hattie McDaniel

• Black Narcissus - Deborah Kerr and Kathleen Byron

• A Streetcar Named Desire - Vivien Leigh and Kim Hunter

• Singin’ in the Rain - Debbie Reynolds and Jean Hagen

• Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? - Elizabeth Taylor and Sandy Dennis

• The Graduate - Anne Bancroft and Katharine Ross

• The Piano - Holly Hunter and Anna Paquin

• Chicago - Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta - Jones

• The Help - Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer

NOTE: If you count brief cameos from directors Oliver Stone and Peter Jackson would make it for Platoon (1986) and The Lord of the Rings 3 (2003)

I apologize if I skipped someone

What Oscar feat has been achieved only by the actors Ethel Barrymore, Willem Dafoe, Marie Dressler, Charles Durning, Jessica Lange, and Julia Roberts?

Winner will be the recipient of a well-deserved “atta kid”

Time to do this for the guy that made Rain Man and a bunch of other less important movies.

As a reminder that year’s actual nominees were:

Jennifer Lawrence - Silver Linings Playbook

Jessica Chastain - Zero Dark Thirty

Emmanuelle Riva - Amour

Naomi Watts - The Impossible

Quvenzhane Wallis - Beasts of the Southern Wild

Let's imagine that when the Beatles' biopics come out, for example Paul's, Paul Mescal is doing incredible and is nominated. Could he also be nominated as a supporting actor for John's movie? Could he be a double nominee for a supporting actor for the John and George movie? Triple nominated for supporting actor? I think it’s actually posible and it blows my mind.

I love Ron Moody and Jack Wild in Oliver! but my MVP was Shani Wallis. She sang, dance and broke our hearts after she did As Long as He Needs Me.

Continuing our tournament to determine our ultimate favorite Best Picture nominee with the fewest nominations from each year.

This round consists of 35 total movies in seven groups of five movies each.

• It Happened One Night - Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert

• Casablanca - Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman

• Some Like it Hot - Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe

• Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? - Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor

• The Lion in Winter - Peter O’Toole and Katharine Hepburn

• The Silence of the Lambs - Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster

• Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet

Jade Healy’s work on The Invite is some of the best production design of the year. It is small, essentially only taking place in one apartment with a bedroom, living room, bathroom, office, kitchen, and window. However, these rooms perfectly portray the couple’s character traits and divide in their marriage.
The clutter of Joe’s (Seth Rogan) office shows how little he cares for the views of others. While, the elaborate living room shows Angela’s (Olivia Wilde) desperation to please people. While the three similar although slightly different streaks of paint in the bedroom show the couples inability to collaborate on anything.
This is shows how production design can contribute to the narrative and emotions of a movie. GREAT PRODUCTION DESIGN DOESN’T NEED TO BE HUGE!

Jonny Greenwood should’ve won his first Oscar for OBAA. What an outstanding score. He deserved it. I really wanted him to see him win. He also should’ve won for Phantom Thread. I loved his scores. If he actually won Original Score instead of Sinners, how would you feel?

Estou nesse momento assistindo o filme O Fugitivo pois sem querer numa conversa completamente despropositada fui investigar sobre o filme a Lista de Schindler e fiquei completamente chocada por saber que NEM o Ralph Fiennes (de quem sou muito fã) NEM o Liam Neelson ganharam o Oscar. Fui ver quem ganhou e PASMEM estou MAIS CHOCADA AINDA vendo os filmes e ver uma ABSURDA DIFERENÇA de papéis entre um e outro. O Tom Hanks ter ganhado até passa pois realmente dá pra ver a dificuldade de julgar pois os dois foram muito bons. Agora Tony Lee Jones? Num papel ridículo desses? Cara a categoria era individual? Não viram isso? Uma coisa tão óbvia dessas? O cara nem aparece no filme! Não se compara o papel de um com o do outro! Putz Grila! Putz não é preciso ter inteligência nenhuma pra ser um jurado do Oscar. Depois dessa o mais desqualificado pode ser. INJUSTIÇA POR RALPH FIENNES :⁠-⁠(

I’m trying to get some children’s books on famous filmmakers for my niece and nephew. I‘ve come across these, but are there others y’all are aware of? I tried posting this in other subs but only one photo was allowed. All of these are Oscar winners so hopefully that helps legitimize this post for this sub.

List of Winners: Acting Quartets

Previous Post: Janet Leigh (Psycho) & Laurence Olivier (Spartacus) win for Best Supporting Actress and Actor. Who should have won Best Actress & Actor in 1961?

Our boy was nominated for Best Actor for his portrayal of Will Hunting in Good Will Hunting (1997), Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Francois Pienaar in Invictus (2009), and Best Actor again for his portrayal of Mark Watney in The Martian (2015).

Were these performances worthy of getting nominated? Do you think he should have won for one of them?

When I say “iconic”, I mean that not only will cinephiles be easily able to recognize this shot or moment, but even non-cinema fans can recognize the moment.

Only one shot from a movie allowed, otherwise we will be stuck with 10 Gone with the Wind or Schinder’s List shots.

As a reminder that year’s actual nominees were:

Amy Madigan - Weapons

Teyana Taylor - One Battle After Another

Elle Fanning - Sentimental Value

Igna Ibsdotter Lilleaas - Sentimental Value

Wunmi Mosaku - Sinners
