This thread is disgusting.. Who / Where is the moderator?

I’ve been purposefully staying away from this thread, until I am ‘alerted’ about something. I agree. This thread makes me sick. Btw, you and I are no angels either. Ya. YOU.

Wow, Pook, way to perpetuate.. Man, I don’t know what to say, I want so badly to respect you because of our belief in animal rights. Are you this threads moderator because I question whether you let things slide that slant in your personal prederences direction (like anyone slamming SF, and my ‘guilt by association’ with him). This thread needs a stronger, more objective hand from whomever is in charge.

If a virtual unknown (maybe not to us, but most Americans) like Octavia Spencer got a standing ovation last year, I am sure any of the Best Actress nominees would..

Emmanuel Riva has the same feeling both Marcia Gay Harden and Adrien Brody had.. They were not definite nominations, though both had late surges / momentum that got them in. Once in and seen by everyone it became quite clear they had the rest of their categories beat and rightfully won in divided fields with no clear frontrunner. I have very little doubt both Lawrence and Chastain will have great chances at a win in the future, neither really should be taking it.

I just checked, and there has never been an Oscar winner for Best Director that wasn’t nominated for the DGA.  Spielberg and Lee and the only DGA nominees in the Oscar lineup this year, and 4/6 times the Oscar winner wasn’t a DGA winner, the Oscar went to the film with the most nominations that year.

You are putting a lot of stock into past trends in a year with no method to its madness, just sit back and enjoy.

Those pictures of Riva and Wallis are ADORABLE.

Well, we all know you don’t have to campaign to win, so long as you have what is widely considered the best performance in your category (Mo’Nique).

Anyone think that we will be bitching about whether or not Riva’s birthday swayed some votes, should she actually win?

This talk of haters and fanboys is ridiculous. Everything in here said about another person is off-topic and does nothing but to defeat the purpose of this whole forum. We didn’t get to 6 threads through lively discourse, but through immature name calling and biased assumptions. I’ll throw myself in the guilty party, as well. Can we all admit we’re biased somehow and respect one another’s opinions and GROW THE FUCK UP?

Why are certain people being censored and others not?! Is this website picking and choosing?

You said I am not a fan of Wallis’ performance. I’ve never said that. What is so hard to understand?

You are putting words in my mouth, Pook. You saying I am not a fan doesn’t remotely make it the actual truth.

I thought she was great! A fan of the film, generally speaking.. Please point out what name I’ve called her, I don’t recall.
