the next guy
Superstar
I liked him in SevenName one pitt and smith performance that are oscar worthy. Smith has Ali but pitt has zero
Play a physically disabled person and then a woman back to back. Can the Academy fall for this blatant pandering two years in a row? Probably. lol
Are they though? How many oscars does Pacino or De Niro have? How many does Scorsese have? No one would dispute their positions in the pantheon of great actors or Scorsese's as one of the greatest directors ever. Including the academy. They recognize the validation an award gives you but also understand that they're capable of being wrong in the long-run or just realizing that the choices they make in the moment are just that: in the moment. If he has the best performance this year, then he deserves it, straight up
Fair but this guys just does oscar bait and that's it. Can he open movie? J-Law just did. The academy is out of touch, if all you had to do was just arthouse bait I guess Parkey Posey should be an oscar contender too.
This too.12 Monkeys he got nominated.
