Even this isn’t true lol. Star Wars is bound to make more money than Joker and has a long legacy with the Academy (can’t say the same for DC) which will translate to more eyes on Driver. The man is coming to snatch.

Adam’s part of the 4th highest grossing movie of all time, we love that for him.

Forgot to share a while back but Anupam Kher loves the film and said both Adam and Scarlett gave award winning performances. He was invited to join the Academy just last year so I’m pretty sure he’s an Oscar voter.

I tried to have a simple discussion on why Adam’s performance in Marriage Story is more Oscar worthy than Joaquin’s Joker. And you would have thought I called Joaquin the devil. Like I get that you like his performance (so did I), but also if you’re talking about a performance that’s more complete and fleshed out, Adam has him beat.

You Driver advocates are sounding defensive, as if you feel this need to defend all the reasons why he’s the only “obvious” winner. lolol!

The evidence why he’d be a worthy winner is on the screen. Oh if only that was all that mattered.

ETA I’m going to stick the knife in a little further by saying that “psyche” from a ring leader who at best read a Cole’s Notes version of persecution syndrome or “early onset dementia” which even so-called experts are only guessing at is a slap in the face to anyone who has, or has had struggles with their mental health issues, or had to watch a loved one suffer through losing their mental acuity disappear slowly, which is almost everyone, is where you cross the line with me. It’s an insensitive thing to say and I took it personally.

Alec Baldwin has tweeted about Marriage Story 3 times already I guess it hit home pretty hard lol

@ABFalecbalwdwin: I cannot find the words to express how much I feel you should go see @MarriageStory. It is, simply, uncanny, crushing, the most beautifully acted and directed film I have seen in a very long time.

@ABFalecbalwdwin: MARRIAGE STORY is sensational

We’re not getting defensive, it’s just tiring how nobody looks at the bigger picture and how people get dragged for saying they think Driver has a shot lol. We’re just having a lil fun, that’s all.

I don’t blame him, it’s been a whole month since I watched the film and I still can’t shut up about it lol.

Alec hosted the Oscars before and was once nominated in 2004 so he’s probably a member of the Academy!!! The industry support MS is having is amazing.

People trashing it reminds me of when I stanned LLL/Emma hard and they were dragged in 2016 lol. Never bothered me then, won’t bother me now.

Dang it. I kinda loved this. It’s like ACTING! the movie. I was predicting OUTIH all year for Ensemble but Marriage Story may just take it down 3B style. Pending Bombshell, ScarJo massively underrated here. Thatcher is right. She can win easy.
I found in comparison to everyone else, Driver was weak link. I kinda hated his random song. He may dominate critic awards but once it gets to televised I expect Phoenix to sweep.
Dern is wonderful and in a weak year, the oscar is hers.
Plus this movie has a life with all those random actors in the background. That and the score brought it to another level.

That doesn’t explain why subjective reasons are proposed for why he’s the only clear winner, such as he gave the more complex performance. That s not possible to prove.
