I adore Octavia Spencer but she has been coattailling more than anybody else these 10 last year. She truly deserves to be nominated for this performance.

She’s second to Amy Adams in this regard, let’s be fair

Pray, forgive me if I’ve already said this before but I’ve just caught the end of The Last of the Mohicans on TV here and still think it was criminally ignored by the Academy. I’ll admit I love a romance and not everyone agrees but for me it had everything. The score, the cinematography, the passion…and the acting! I’d nominate it across the board: DDL and Stowe in Actor/Actress (my God, their sizzling chemistry!), Studi, Means/Schweig and May in Supporting. I realise May and Schweig didn’t have much dialogue but they still communicated so much longing, purity and emotion…I need a moment haha

lol. Let’s not “give up” just yet. I have Ian over Helen but plenty of nominations have come from divisive perfs.

I haven’t totally haha, today has just been a blow. We know these days that as long as the performances are generally well received, anything can happen. Some films with low scores have still had their performances nominated in recent years. And I still believe this movie will do well at the box office; the potential mature audience is too lucrative to ignore. Here in the UK at least Ian and Queen Helen have significant fan bases, not only within their own age demographic.

Sorry to hear that ; I know you were hoping her to shock us all. Regardless, stanning for Queen Mirren will never be a bad thing. She remains one of my favorite wins in BA ever. Her work is always a joy. I see this woman in interviews and I am at awe of her class, beauty, sense of humor and eloquence.

Thanks for your condolences haha, the material was there for the taking but I guess it was always going to be risky.

I think she and Ian are at least getting praised despite the vehicle, so I shouldn’t complain too much…I still expect her to get in a few nods.

Sigh, The Good Liar is getting mixed reviews. I remember after reading the novel thinking this could be really good or really bad, oh well. Queen Helen will have to settle for Globe and SAG nods at best. First Asier Etxeandia being dropped by Sony, now this, my passion picks this year have no luck haha *cries quietly*

Just a heads up, Curzon Mayfair are showing it on December 9th. Unfortunately the earlier showing followed by Q&A with Bong Joon-ho is sold out but they’re doing a later showing at 9:15pm with intro by Bong (I think) – if you’re free and nearby, order quick cos it’ll sell out. Parasite doesn’t get a proper UK release until February 7th.

Oh thanks for letting me know, but I don’t live near London so I’ll have to wait until February like all the other peasants haha

I would love to join your campaign but unfortunately I think we are alone… It’s funny you mentioned Blue Jasmine , because both Pain & Glory and Blue Jasmine are from Sony Pictures Classics. I agree, their chemistry was pretty amazing and one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. Unfortunately I don’t think he will get in. Parasite will be loved by the Academy way more. It’s hot, new and hugely exciting. Not to mention that it subject is very current. Outside of Banderas and International movie I don’t see the movie doing that well. Screenplay could have a shot but even that I can’t see happening. Asier could still win some regional critics like LAFCA and NSFC. They usually like to award foreign performances.

Haha, please, you’re welcome to join the tiny bandwagon. All campaigns start somewhere right? I haven’t seen Parasite as it doesn’t seem to be showing in the UK yet. But I just have this feeling the Academy could embrace Pain and Glory enthusiastically with it being about people involved in the industry…

I had no idea Sony also dealt with Blue Jasmine, it surprises me even more then that they aren’t going to bother with Asier. Sally Hawkins was a Globe winner, but hardly famous at the time.

I agree. He literally gave an Oscar worthy performance. His monologue was pure perfection. I know Cruz has a far bigger name but it’s still very disturbing how they campaign for her but not him. I Mean… Have they even watched the movie?! Obviously they did but c’mon. I loved Cruz in the movie and I would be thrilled if she pulled a Maggie Gyllenhaal/Marina de Tavira but leaving Asier in the dust when he deserves equal recognition, if not more, would be devastating. But since we are talking about Sony Pictures Classics… Nothing surprises me.

Would you like to join my campaign? Haha. Let’s clear something up, I meant no disrespect to Cruz, I agree, she was great in her limited screen time, and I’d be fine with her being nominated, but at the expense of a more significant supporting role? I’d have to choose Asier hands down. Do you think there’s any chance he could “De Tavira” his way in? As far as I know she received literally no precursor nominations whatsoever…

This pairing actually reminds me of Blue Jasmine. Without the chemistry with Sally Hawkins, Cate Blanchett’s performance wouldn’t have worked as well. Both were rightfully nominated, and the same should happen with Banderas and Etxeandia…

Sony Pictures! How could you do this??! I despair.

It doesnt look like they are campaigning him, unfortunately. Got screener and it only says Banderas and Cruz. No one else. Ensemble Cast FYC of course there but no one listed on it. I agree he was awesome as well.

This is…disturbing. He literally supports Banderas for most of the film, has more screen time than Cruz, and how can anyone deny that soliloquy? I’m heartbroken. Who is handling the distribution? I’m of a mind to complain to them.

Not that it should matter (but let’s not deny politics play a part) he could also have been a refreshing candidate for their “diversity” pick; being Spanish and a member of LGBT community. Rant over.
