they think she’s winning every year.

Nicole Kidman – The Others > Moulin Rouge

Jessica Chastain – Tree of Life or Take Shelter > The Help

Brad Pitt – Seven > 12 Monkeys

Tilda Swinton – Stephanie Daley > Michael Clayton

Michael Shannon – Midnight Special > Nocturnal Animals

I legitimately forgot whoops lol.

Meryl Streep – Lead Actress for Devil Wears Prada. She probably would’ve had a better chance of winning her 3rd for that against Hudson than Mirren. In fact her and Blanchett should’ve switched nomination spots.

Matt Damon is Matt Damon in every movie.

I don’t know what was more tryhard. This trailer for an Oscar or my college application essay.

Scarjo duh. The way she triggered every snowflake on the internet with it was hilarious too.

I wouldn’t call a movie (Argo) about the Iran Hostage Crisis, feel good.

not when the runner ups for 2014 on paper was between Emma Stone’s 1 scene wonder or Keira’s nothing performance but just happened to be in a stronger movie than the other 2 nominees (and I guess one category they could’ve given The Imitation Game a win if it were to lose screenplay, assuming Boyhood didn’t exist)

Talking about Arquette’s year.

2014 Best Supporting Actress lineup was the weakest lineup of all the acting categories last decade.

Well we know who GD’s choice would’ve been lol.

Purple Noon

Swimming Pool

Le Intouchables

Amelie

With a Friend Like Harry

She’s kinda shaky where her filmography is a mixture of the rom com fluff and the occasional prestige roles. Although it seems like the past few years the industry skipped over her lead performances (Homecoming/Ben is Back) yet nominated her for her supporting roles (August Osage County (lol)/Normal Heart).

Julia Roberts seems like someone who could do it as well. Very popular, well-liked actress in general and she’s still getting critically acclaimed roles/movies to this day (ala August Osage County/Normal Heart/Homecoming/Wonder).

Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley, Teresa Palmer, Rooney Mara, Elizabeth Debicki, Dakota Fanning, Elle Fanning, Zendaya, Diana Agron, Margaret Qualley
