She was good in the flashback scenes. I was actually pleasantly surprised to see Laura Dern get a nom for supporting, because she was excellent.
yes i enjoyed the flashback scenes :shaq:

One thing I don't understand about the screeners that have leaked. These are clearly for Oscar voters but every rip of Birdman has been sub-DVD quality, both in sound and video :patrice:

That and gyllenhaal. I might be on my @TheGodling anti oscars tip by next year

Theyve pissed me off 4 of the past 5 yrs
:camby: academy

The only awards anyone should care about are festival awards, and even those don't always get it right (I'm looking at you, Fahrenheit 9/11 Palme d'Or).

Ralph Fiennes not getting nominated for Best Actor is exactly why I don't watch awards shows. That's fukking criminal.

C'mon Ralph Fiennes was not snubbed. The role is too well written and therefor not a huge challenge in the eyes of many actors, it doesn't help its also a quirky movie and you could argue that he's a supporting character and you could argue he's the main character

See also
Leo in Django
Giamatti in Sideways
Carlyle in Full Monty
The cast of Fargo
Gosling in Lars and the Real Girl

I'm not saying the underlined part does not apply to these roles, just putting it out there.
