Re: Best Motion Picture Story 1952
I didn't get around to seeing My Son John recently. The Greatest Show on Earth is an absolute piece of garbage. The Sniper is pretty alright, but I think its psychology and dialogue are both pretty shallow. The Pride of St. Louis is actually pretty good. I think Dan Dailey's performance is pretty sw...

Re: Best Supporting Actress 2015
Rooney Mara is the easy choice. Her performance was the best performance of the year in any film. However, I won't be voting for her because she's an out-and-out lead with more screen time than her co-star Blanchett and the film is framed entirely through her eyes (and camera). Because of this, I wo...

Any plans to do Supporting Actor?Big Magilla wrote:It appears that all polls created before May 25, 2011 are closed. It also appears that all polls from 2012 forward allow for re-voting.
I updated all Best Actor polls from Best Actor 1968 to date and Best Actress from 2011 to date.
When I have time.

Re: Best Supporting Actor 2015
You're going to have to explain yourself here because the only thing that kept Carol from being a masterpiece were the absolutely piss-poor, godawful male performances. Chandler especially seems way out of his element.Sabin wrote:Kyle Chandler (Carol)

Re: Best Picture and Director 1970
Well, this ran into a bit of a crimp. Polls that were originally on a previous iteration of the board do not allow vote changes. That means that even if we change the option on the early polls including Best Actress of 1947 and Bess Supporting Actress of 1952, votes can't be changed. The cut-off se...

Re: Best Supporting Actor 2015
First off, let's stop acting like Jacob Tremblay was anything other than a lead in Room . Yes, he was probably campaigned in this category, but still... Sylvester Stallone was surprisingly good in Creed , but I think that's more because I really didn't expect much from him. I do think, though, that ...

Re: Best Picture and Director 1970
It's working for me. Thank you. Correction: it works on most recent posts but, for example, if I wanted to switch my vote on Best Actress 1947 or Best Supporting Actress 1952, etc., I am not able to. Probably an archival thing. It will work on any poll where the option to change votes was invoked w...

The Prowler (Joseph Losey, 1951) 6/10 A cop who rousts a peeping tom starts an affair with the victim of the incident, gets dumped in favor of the woman's husband, and plans to kill said husband to cash in on the life insurance policy. Joseph Losey's "The Prowler" is utterly unpredictable...

Bellissima (Luchino Visconti, 1951) 7/10 A forceful stage mother does everything she can to get her young daughter in a motion picture after realizing being cute isn't enough. Luchino Visconti sure plays around with a wide array of themes as a director, but I've noticed one comes up a little more t...

I'd just like to chime in saying I've had this struggle for years. Glad it's going to be rectified.

Re: General Oscar Telecast Discussion
One big complaint I heard from friends was that a telecast so heavy with messages of diversity certainly only focused on black people. There were no mentions of sexism, homophobia, or anything else, but the writers and Rock kept pushing "DIVERSITY! DIVERSITY! DIVERSITY!" while staying only...
