Due to recent news involving X, formerly Twitter and its owner, the staff of SuperHeroHype have decided it would be best to no longer allow links on the board. Starting January 31st, users will no longer be able to post direct links to X on this site, however screenshots will still be allowed as long as they follow Hype rules and guidelines. We apologize for any inconvenience.
DiCaprio is like Pacino - solid in just about every role he's in, but he didn't win that Oscar until he moved out of his comfort zone and did something that was really out there. Django Unchained is a step in the right direction, The Great Gatsby isn't. Of course, not to say Leo is not going to be great in Gatsby, it's just that chances are we have already seen him in similar roles (The Aviator). He hasn't pushed the limits of his talent yet. I think he'd do well to take some notes from Daniel Day-Lewis, who is almost impossible to recognize from film to film.
Pacino was more than solid and should have won easily with The Godfather Part II.
I have no idea what was the performance that Pacino lost to.
Anyway, with Best Actors, this SLP behind the scenes featuerette perfectly describes why I felt Bradley Cooper deserved a nomination.
Neither of those guys won either.
I have never even heard of Harry and Tonto.
So I finally saw Amour and I have no clue how it's possible for a film to be this boring and mundane to be so popular among "critics" and the Academy.
If I want to see two old people staring at each other, I'll just go to a nursing home and watch that for free.So I finally saw Amour and I have no clue how it's possible for a film to be this boring and mundane to be so popular among "critics" and the Academy.

Despite the original book by Hugo and the musical written by these 2 French dudes, there is actually nothing French about Les MizI haven't seen it, but since I've seen Les Miz three times, I'm using that to fulfill my French requirement for the Oscars this year.![]()

It was a joke. In fact, I actually do want to see Amour, it's just not playing here.![]()
My wish is that Watts wins it, but if not Naomi then Lawrence. Chastain's performance just isnt as strong as those other two imo.Saw Silver Linings Playbook today. As good as Chastain was in Zero Dark Thirty, I'd love to see Lawrence win it. She was fantastic.
