Oscar Shit 2014

[FilmNerdJamie]

He's not a "bad boy" like O'Toole was. He'll get his gold. Most likely in a Scorsese joint.

Leo has had the A game longer and stronger, yo. But Mcheyheyhey has certainly brought it since The Lincoln Lawyer, that isn't up for debate.

The only thing I'm debating is your assertion that Mcheyhey reverts to shit in a few years. Rather presumptuous.

[FilmNerdJamie]

You can debate me about anything. All good.

But on the point in question, there is a proven pattern to Mcheyheyhey. Do several good films, then falls right back to the paycheck gigs.

Really? Is it an a/b pattern, or an a/b/b/b patter? Or are you just not noticing everything he's done since 2011 has been stupendous? Even in his early successes he wasn't producing the work that he is now. Respect that in the very least.

You seem to be forgetting his mid-to-late 90s hot streak. I know. It sucks you choose to forget that.

And again, the last 3 or so years of his work (strong as it is) doesn't hold a candle to the decade of work DiCaprio's had. Which was my bone of contention with that bullshit narrative for why he should win.

I think the difference for Matt going forward is that his looks aren't gonna hold out, so doing Failure to Launch 2: Challenger isn't really an option.

Director: Cuaron
Actor: DiCaprio
Actress: Blanchett
S. Actor: Leto

Either McConoughey or Leto is going to win, not both. I'm gonna give it to Leto.

Sahara 2!

yes.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Failure to Launch 2: Naked Room.

HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 11 DAYS

At this point, I'm just hoping for a nip slip more than any particular win.

[gravedigger]

That's really the only reason I watch any awards show.

[Captain Russ]

There is no reason to watch any awards show.

I've forgot nothing, it's just that I haven't heard anyone preaching that supposed narrative till you brought it up. Now I have heard the "he deserves it for turning shit around" argument which is probably just as silly a reason.... Bottom line for me Mcheyhey deserves praise for his work since 2011. I give zero fucks about who wins the award though.

I think Leto deserves it for sure. McConoughey put in some great work but Leto really shined imho
