It’s between King and Haas for me. Haas seems like the perfect opportunity to award Unorthodox with a passion vote. Watchmen is easily rewardable across the board, so deferring to the supporting actors and series without awarding King seems viable.

I found Emma Stone to be quite compelling in La La Land. Although I may not have necessarily awarded her that year (still haven’t decided that race after nearly 4 years lol), I still believe she was a genuinely deserving nominee and hold no ill feelings towards her being a winner, especially given that the performance is one of her best, is of…[Read more]

Washington. He has yet to give a terrible performance. He might not compare to Day-Lewis accolade-wise, but the industry doesn’t exactly award POC performers proportionately, so that doesn’t seem like a fair measure to begin with.

Anyone who genuinely believes that an actor that has had the success that Leo has needs to avoid taking risks to stay at the top clearly doesn’t understand that Hollywood ebbs and flows regardless of the choices of the actors. Risk-taking is actually more helpful, since it can prevent type-casting. I’d say DiCaprio switching to comedy in the Wolf…[Read more]

Kind of a ridiculous argument against Brie’s win. Although I favor Ronan this year, I still think Larson is a worthy win and her career choices post-win have nothing to do with whether she deserved to win an award in 2015 for a performance given in the same year of eligibility.

I love Ronan as much as the next cinema lover, but the hatred that…[Read more]

Amy Adams in American Hustle didn’t deserve a nomination. I have tried to appreciate the performance, but some of her scenes are truly cringeworthy. I understand that part of her performance is intentionally supposed to appear to be a poor portrayal, but she didn’t execute it well enough for my liking.

Tang Wei deserved a nomination in 2007. She…[Read more]
