Failed Oscar Bait roles

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

We forgot one..that Mel Gibson joint..

i forgot all about the man without a face

 

[re'up]

'In the Cut' wasn't a perfect movie, but it is dope, and the book it's based on is incredible…..Some of these are hilarious though.

dead at 'man without a face' I saw the preview for that in 'Free Willy' when i was like 6

and directed by Woody Allen too (the font)

Sam Jackson in A Cavemans Valentine

this was like a comic book movie not based on any existing comic books, this was nowhere near oscar bait, it's too weird for the oscars

The soloist is the biggest Oscar bait movie, easily.

Agreed. Its a good story, saw it on 60 mins and was looking forward to the movie but the reviews stopped me.

I fukking laughed out loud in the theater when I saw the trailer for this.

thats why im hesitant to get down with the premise of this. damn so any nikka that trys to step out the box or take on a powerful role is lookin for oscar bait?

its basically a cant win. its either "he always plays the same role " or "he's stepping outside the box just fishing for that oscar "

I just remember the promotion being hard for this on how powerful the movie is, Will was on Oprah pushing the hell out of its impact

Sitting on 8% on RT

I actually thought this was a good film. Naomi Watts been bad since The Ring

J. Edgar wasn't bad either, but definitely one of his least memorable.

Oprah Winfreys "Beloved" was definitely bait, so was "The Butler".

this was a good thread

Lars and the Real Girl just seems like a quirky independent to me. I'm not getting oscar bait vibes from it
