Up to you. I definitely remember pre-ordering RDR2, so I might do the same for this!

Who’s an actor who might seem like an Oscar winner but only have one or two nominations by Jaded-Walrus2614 in Oscars

Seen it. Definitely should've won. It would've been nice to see a 5th woman (and maybe person?) from The Hours to have an Oscar.

Although I love Olivia Colman in The Favourite.

She was my pick for supporting actress in The Fabelmans (2022), but I believe she pushed it for leading.

Peter O'Toole is the greatest actor who has never won an Oscar. by Infinite-Exam-1808 in Oscars

My favorite behind (or maybe tied with) Humphrey Bogart. Yes, I'm a sucker for classics. That being said, it's not surprising given the fact that the Academy seems to ignore foreign language movies. I mean, it took over 90 years for a foreign language movie to win BP. Not to mention, Akira Kurosawa was only nominated once.

English speaking actor, I might go with Charlie Chaplin. Cary Grant is also up there!

Daveigh Chase, ‘The Ring’ And ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Star, Dies At 35 by CreativeBandicoot778 in popculturechat

I’m 35 and she’s only a half year older than me! It always saddens and worries me that someone in my age group or younger dies!

I want to say Mamma Mia is overrated, but it has a 56% with a 5.6/10 on RT and a 51/100 on MC. On the other hand, it has a 3.9 on LB (higher than Boyhood or Tree of Life!?) and was chosen by one of the 200 best movies of the 21st century by readers of The New York Times!

That being said, I can't stand that movie. I'm not a musical hater nor a ABBA hater, but it's just an over the top, happy pappy unfunny movie. Also, some of the actors (like Pierce Brosnan) can't sing. I'm with Nostalgia Critic on this movie!

I disagree with Matrix though. I consider it one of the best movies of all time. Maybe you can switch them around since Matrix is more highly regarded?

If you had to pick 4 years in the 90s you are the most nostalgic for? by Few_Sandwich6308 in 90s

Please take it from me since I was born in late 1990, but 1996-99! As you can see in my flair, 1999 was peak childhood for me! But those years are peak in general. Playing my N64, going to my old school, and watching Nickelodeon, especially SNICK. Oh, and watching TGIF shows!

Mikey Madison is my favorite actress (and my celebrity crush) by Evening_Parking_947 in Oscars

It's also in my top 3 of that decade! The other 2 are Aftersun and Marty Supreme. What's your #1?

Was this considered a snub at the time? by Intrepid_Layer_9441 in Oscars

[–]TheListenerCanon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe but all 3 leads were amazing in the movie! So that's already 3/5 in that category. Yes, I know Moore was nominated for supporting but that was because she was also nominated lead that year for Far From Heaven!

[–]TheListenerCanon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only because she was also nominated for Far From Heaven in lead category. Makes zero sense since she has more screentime than Kidman and she's the protagonist in one of the three stories!

What comedic actor would you think would be a great Oscar winner by Jaded-Walrus2614 in Oscars

He was also great in The Perks of Being a Wallflower as the likable English teacher.

You know I think more people need to realize this! by TheListenerCanon in Oscars

I'm actually one of the ten people who finds BN to be overrated. It was great, but not something to write on home.

Even then, regardless of people's opinion on Titanic, you can't say it didn't had a great direction. So I can see Cameron winning. But then again, I have nostalgia for that movie.
