I concur that Field of Dreams is a terrible nominee. It’s basically tv movie material.

God, she is horrible. I always forget she is the thirstiest!

Bumping for some appreciation of Goldie Hawn & Steve Martin in Housesitter, what a great comedy and performances!

A legendary prediction!

Cross Creek is such a well-made movie, both actors deserved their nods, just like the score and the costumes. Steenburgen should have made it in, not a fan of Educating Rita at all.

Chances of Dune after the trailer?

Is Rango any good though?

Best picture: 1987, 1990, 1995, 1998, 2000, 2011 & 2018.

Will Madonna and Whitney compete?

I think Denzel definitely suffers from a weird filmography. He seems to be in basically only two types of movies and like you said the non-action films are not something that would gain a proper worldwide audience, while those action thriller movies make him seen less serious…

Would have voted for The Favourite ladies as well, but from this list it’s The Help and it ain’t even close.

Haven’t seen Private Benjamin but I love the other four. It’s surely my fav performance of Burstyn.

Same.

Max von Sydow was a waste. Terrible lineup.

Well at least she finally acknowledges her has-been state, something she’s been denying for the last decade.

It’s also ironic she does this after Elton, conidering the early 2000s when he was pressed she was still successful.

Haven’t seen Helena from that lineup but even the rest are quite uninspired, Julie Christie was so random…

Definitely no and Winslet didn’t deserve it either!

Charles Durning’s nomination was quite a waste though…

Is Eat Pray Love any good?

It’s really all about Dianne Wiest in Bullets over Broadway!

At the end of the day, categories exist for movies and not the other way around so “category fraud” will always be second to “giving the spotlight to more performances”…
