People who don’t care about the Oscars care too much about their favorite films not winning Oscars. As if earning millions or billions of dollars was not enough. Makes no sense. They already achieved their goal. Smaller films need platforms like the Oscars to get more attention to make more money. It’s important to preserve originality in cinema…[Read more]

James Dean in Rebel without a Cause

so…

James Dean in Rebel without a Cause or Anthony Perkins in Psycho

Directed by Ryan Murphy

Susan Sarandon as Charlotte Hollis
Charlize Theron as Miriam
Kyle MacLachlan as Dr. Drew Bayliss
Frances McDormand as Velma Cruther
Beau Bridges as Harry Willis
Dominic Burgess as Big Sam Hollis
Lesley Manville as Jewel Mayhew
Peter Coyote as Sheriff Luke Standish
Brian J. Smith as John Mayhew

Super Mario Bros. Movie

Psycho is one of the most tightly directed and most concise films of all time. Not one wasted moment. Totally deserving of winning ALL the awards

That would be Samuel L. Jackson who got jack shit for his performance.

Julianne Moore in Still Alice. What was even worse than the performance? The hype. “Give her an Oscar already!!!!!” So annoying. Winning an Oscar is not everything and often hinders careers of actresses, but all those hype-artists could give 2 shits. They hype her into an Oscar win, then throw her to the side for their next victim.
