Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan both deserved Oscar nominations for Freaky Friday.
I loved Jamie Lee in that one. Her comedic timing is gold. She is just so underrated outside of the horror fans realm.
The biggest limitation I think is that it was a Disney movie, hence the script was very light. If she could’ve been allowed to play the character with more risks, she would’ve been a worthy nominee. I know Depp got in, and Andrews won, but those are very different scenarios.
The 2 frauds (Fraudkander and Fraudmara) shouldn’t have won, they should’ve gave it to Winslet so we know her thirsty ass is not a threat to winning another Oscar anytime soon.
Gaga. Was. Never. Getting. The. Oscar. Over. Colman.
Even with a hypothetical Golden Globe win in Actress, that ASIB movie lost so much steam that its major strength became the song. If Glenn in a fucking gold dress did not beat the British joy that is Colman, Lady Gaga was never going to accomplish that either. I mean…
If category fraud was going to win that year, it should’ve been Mara. That being said, as I’m a stickler for being in the right category, I’d have given it to Jennifer Jason Leigh, even though I liked Mara’s performance better.
I hate when a new performer like Vikander (no beef with her) has a year where she’s pushed down our throats (It girls), which leads to an Oscar decision that affects many others more deserving work. I am now pissed for what they did to Mara 😠
Because that would have lowered the chances of both Blanchett and Mara to win and the Academy “followed” the distributor’s suggestion or “instruction” of who should be considered for lead and who for supporting. However, it’s not always the case that when 2 actors/actresses are both nominated in lead none of them ends up winning, as proven by the cases of for example Terms of Endearment (MacLaine and Winger) and Amadeus (Abraham and Hulce).
Why on earth would they think Cate was competitive in Lead just a couple of years after BJ? That just fucked up Mara.
Definitely a lead. The sad thing is, she probably would’ve been nominated if she went lead. I agree with the above, that while Mara and Blanchett are co-leads, if I had to choose which one is the real main character, it’s Mara, as we start the story with her and she’s the one who really changes.
A brilliant performance that, I think, deserves more love.
You so realize their characters are supposed to be incompatible right?
The portrayal of incompatible romantic interests does not exclude the notion of chemistry. There have been movie couples shown as “oil and water” on the surface but their scenes show powerful and passionate interaction. I had none of that in MS.
O’Russell got Lubezki on board for the cinematography. He really wants IT
I need a supercut clip of all the times he lost at the Oscars. Bonus: The moment where he raised his full a-hole potential when Riva won Bafta. What a waste of cells.
Would they really fuck over Close in supporting this year?
