Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

THis year is extremely weak. Nobody really stands out to me. If Bruno Ganz were on here for Wings of Desire my choice would be clear-cut.

I'll vote in morning after my 'Mad Men' marathon.

I voted for Celeste Holm here although I really would have appreciated a nomination for Kathleen Byron for her amazing turn as Sister Ruth in Black Narcissus as well as May Hallatt for her role as Ayah in a successful pre-Agnes Moorehead Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte role in the same film.

I've only seen Newman and Hurt so I can't vote here; however, I plan on seeing, whom I'm predicting to win here, Bob Hoskins in Mona Lisa fairly soon.

Hook - 5 (5 lead, 2 support) ___________ Robin Williams Julia Roberts Dustin Hoffman Maggie Smith Gwyneth Paltrow The Good Shepherd - 5 (2 lead, 4 support) ___________ Angelina Jolie Robert De Niro Joe Pesci William Hurt Timothy Hutton JFK - 5 (2 lead, 4 support) ___________ Tommy Lee Jones Jack Lem...

Sorry for not posting. Stupidly, I left my laptop at my other house. There's no contest here. As much as I loved reading Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano and as much as I loved Albert Finney in this role, I have to give this to F. Murray Abraham who, I think, gives one of the five best Best Actor p...

Meek's Cutoff (2011) Director: Kelly Reichardt Starring: Michelle Williams and Bruce Greenwood 4/10 I may have gone into this expecting much more. Fuck it. I was expecting more from this. I don't think a single character raised his voice the entire film. Heated argument was as far as that got. The ...

Let me clear this up. I absolutely hated Tender Mercies . I don't think Robert Duvall's performance was award-worthy at all (and neither was Jeff Bridges' in Crazy Heart which was a terrible rehash of this film). I believe this is Duvall's weakest of all his nominations. I haven't seen Reuben, Reube...

I think this is the closest race I've ever seen on this site. The next closest is, I think, the 1972 Best Actor race between Brando's Godfather (5), Olivier's Sleuth (5), and O'Toole's Ruling Class (6).

I need to see My Favorite Year. I'll post back here in a few days then I will vote.

After I see Absence of Malice tonight, I will post my thoughts.

Do you agree? Any scenes that get you crying?

There's really no use in even having this poll. It's going to be a landslide victory for De Niro.

I'd be more than happy to participate.

I haven't seen ...And Justice for All but I find it hard to give any award to a character who plays a lawyer because it is usually a one-sided character who has a lot of flashy speeches and a troubled past. I was very excited to see Being There because Peter Sellers is hilarious and I love his earli...
