The Natural Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Nominations today. Fancy Chadwick Boseman (Ma Rainey's Black Bottom) to become only the third actor to win a posthumous Academy Award for acting after Peter Finch (Network) and Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight). Feel free to speculate on nominees, winners and times when the Academy Awards fucked up in snubs and winners! I say this every year, there needs to be Academy Awards for Best Stunts and Motion Capture Performances. Come on, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Crazy to think that JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH didn’t have a lead actor! What a movie! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I have two things to say about Mank... I tried watching 30 minutes of Mank around the time it came out. That's as far as I made it and I have no desire to slog through the rest. And... One day Hollywood will stop fucking loving movies about Hollywood so much.

Craig H Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Also, the most academy thing ever would be to give the win to Trial of the Chicago 7 instead of Judas and the Black Messiah, right? I haven't seen everything on the best picture list (Nomadland, Minari, and the Father are the ones I haven't seen), but I have a hard time believing anything is better than Judas and the Black Messiah. MAYBE Sound of Metal. Trial of the Chicago 7 is just...man...fuck Aaron Sorkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I saw Nomadland this weekend, and it's fucking incredible. Based on her competition, I don't think Frances McDormand will win, but holy shit is she heartbreaking and incredible in it. Watched Mank, thought it was fine. Definitely was Oscar bait, but not actively offensive. Still haven't seen the others yet. I thought about Promising Young Woman, but eh, it's $20 on Amazon and I haven't seen anything that tells me it's that good. Maybe now I'll do it though. Also, back in 2015 when I (humblebrag) saw Hamilton on Broadway, I said that guy who plays Aaron Burr is a future superstar. Today, he's pulled off the feat of being nominated twice in the same night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawful Metal Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 So Judas and the Black Messiah gets nominated on the same day it gets removed from HBO Max? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonial Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Glenn Close nominated for an Oscar and a Razzie for the same role. Believe that's only the third time that's happened (James Coco in Only When I Laugh and Amy Irving in Yentl are the others).

The Natural Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Have to say this is the least I've been interested in the Academy Awards in many a year. Rooting for Chadwick Boseman winning a posthumous Academy Award for Best Actor and I think he will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert S Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) The funniest thing is that Borat (Subsequent Moviefilm) is nominated for "Best Adapted Screenplay". I doubt that whatever they were using the shoot the film either was "adapted" or a "screenplay" (at least in the usual sense, or are "reality" TV shows eligible for "Outstanding Writing in Comedy/Drama Series" awards?).

Borat is now only the 2nd series where both the original and the sequel were nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay....Godfather 1 and 2 being the other. Delroy Lindo is my biggest snub, I would have dropped Sascha Baron Cohen and put him in instead. Kaluuya getting a supporting nom is weird, but that's completely a decision by the producers. They probably figure no one is beating Boseman for lead, so they put him up as supporting to better the chances of a win. I loved Mank, it's 100% divorced from reality, but it was a great movie. Shouldn't win, but definitely deserved the nom. I need to catch up on a few of the best picture nominees, really looking forward to Minari.

I can't remember where I read that today, maybe filmdrunk, but they apparently didn't consider threequels. Fellowship of the Ring and Return of the King both got adapted noms too, but Two Towers didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) My annual "When the Academy Awards fucked up post" with new additions... The Dark Knight (2008) missing out on Best Picture and Best Director nominations. The rightful backlash meant the Best Picture category was expanded. Terrible snub. To this day, it's way up there as one of the worst mistakes ever made by the Academy Awards. The Dark Knight (2008), WALL-E (2008) and Gran Torino (2008) should have received Best Picture nominations in 2009. WALL-E rightly won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. The Reader (2008) getting a Best Picture nom. Fuck that. What a piece of shit. No Best Actor/Best Director nominations for Clint Eastwood, Gran Torino (2008). Let the Right One In (2008), no Foreign Language Film nod. Boo. The Academy Awards really fucked up that year as seen in all the above. Christian Bale wasn't nominated for his best acting, American Psycho (2000). Bale was the best actor in a leading role that year. Memento (2000) missing out on Best Picture and Best Director nominations for Christopher Nolan. The Shawshank Redemption should have won Best Picture in 1994 over Forrest Gump which won said award. After Shawshank, Pulp Fiction. Quentin Tarantino or Frank Darabont should've taken home Best Director that year but that also went to Forrest Gump's Robert Zemeckis. Ellen Burstyn should have won Best Actress for Requiem for a Dream (2000). Julia Roberts won for Erin Brockovich. That's a really bad one. Really. Jake Gyllenhaal wasn't even nominated for Best Actor, Nightcrawler (2014). Gyllenhaal should have won it. Baffled by no nomination. One of the worst mistakes in the history of the Academy Awards. Ben Affleck not making the Best Director nominees for Argo (2012). That surprised everyone. Very wrong. Rami Malek somehow winning Best Actor playing Freddie Mercury for Bohemian Rhapsody over Christian Bale's Dick Cheney in Vice (2018). Bullshit. Also how Taron Egerton wasn't even nominated for Rocketman (2019) playing Sir. Elton John and even did his own singing. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) deservedly won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature but it should have a Best Picture nomination and win to go with it. Comic book movies deserving of Best Picture nominations...The Dark Knight (2008), Logan (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019) and Joker (2019). Only one to get a BP nom, Joker. I'd have voted Shrek 2 (2004) over the winner of the Best Animated Feature, The Incredibles (2004). Clint Eastwood missing out on the Academy Award for Best Actor in Unforgiven (1992). R Lee Ermey and Vincent D'Onofrio missing out on Best Supporting Actor nominations for Full Metal Jacket (1987). I'd have voted for Ermey. Sam Smith winning Best Original Song for "Writing's on the Wall" in Spectre (2015). Fuck right off. Wretched song. No Best Supporting Actor nomination to Javier Bardem in Skyfall (2012). I'd have given Skyfall further nominations: Best Picture, Best Actor: Daniel Craig, Best Cinematography by Roger Deakins, Best Director: Sir. Sam Mendes and Dame Judi Dench for Best Supporting Actress. The Lego Movie (2014) wasn't nominated for Best Animated Feature. Bad omission, that. Should have won it. Ditto The Lego Batman Movie (2017). Gone Baby Gone deserved a Best Picture nomination in 2007. Heath Ledger for Brokeback Mountain (2005) or Joaquin Phoenix for Walk the Line (2005) for the Academy Award for Best Actor. Phillip Seymour Hoffman won for Capote (2005). Crash beating Brokeback Mountain for Best Picture in 2005. Infamous that. Daft Punk not getting a Best Original Score nomination for TRON: Legacy (2010).

John from Cincinnati Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 It's horseshit that they gave director to Soderbergh for Traffic in '01. Should have given it to Soderbergh for Erin Brockovich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Serkis deserved an honorable mention at the very least.
