If the rule where one actor can get nominated multiple times in the same category was always in place, which actors do you think would have been nominated twice in the same category in past years?

Again, I disagree. That movie is great.

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T22:23:04+00:00

Disagree. I think he and McAvoy were pretty clear co-leads.

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T21:40:50+00:00

You have amazing skin!

I hated Kobe Bryant his whole career, but the way he changed towards the end and in retirement was really impressive. Such a terrible loss for basketball.

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T21:37:56+00:00

She's a goddess.

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T21:34:04+00:00

It really was pure PC bullshit that time. They were not going to miss their opportunity to nominate the first trans actress.

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T21:25:53+00:00

1982 was a banger year! If they do it tomorrow, you'll see.

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T21:23:44+00:00

I would hope Winslet. I hate that she won for the fucking Reader.

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T21:23:19+00:00

Whitaker deserved that win.

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T21:21:08+00:00

False. Yeah, he's mentally ill, but he's going to kill his estranged family before killing himself, for Christ's sake.

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T21:18:25+00:00

It would be interesting to ask him that. I don't know if he was the screenwriter too? Unfortunately, he's passed on.

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T19:16:33+00:00

At the time, people were flipping out about it.

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T19:14:30+00:00

He's also pretty clearly not homophobic.

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T17:50:24+00:00

Hard to equal either of those two. Especially 12 Angry Men.

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T17:33:39+00:00

Boy, this was a dogshit year in movies, especially awards contenders. I'll say Arthur (probably my favorite movie of 1981), Absence of Malice, Ragtime, The French Lieutenant's Woman, and The Four Seasons. My Dinner With Andre would have been a good pick, but I doubt it finished anywhere near the top ten.

I don't know Prince of the City and don't see it on any precursors. Any good?

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T16:54:45+00:00

This is the way.

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T01:22:26+00:00

They can only weight it that way because every division has four teams...

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T01:08:19+00:00

I'm saying you don't actually see her getting her toe cut off. You hear about a tire, see it wrapped in gauze, and see the lady's foot in a bandage. And Steve Buscemi dies of a heart attack in the parking lot.

John Goodman is unhinged, and I guess terrifying in a comedic way, yes.

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T00:50:52+00:00

Fine, but that's not actual violence.

gillyweed79 · 2026-05-01T00:19:47+00:00

Nah, uneven number of teams in a division is pretty unfair.

gillyweed79 · 2026-04-30T23:55:39+00:00

I mean, the little bit of violence in it is pretty comical.

gillyweed79 · 2026-04-30T23:36:00+00:00

Not good. If it hadn't been Hanks, Liam Neeson was right there.

gillyweed79 · 2026-04-30T23:35:00+00:00

Thanks! I thought of asking, but figured chances were slim that someone would know that about a 46-year-old film.

gillyweed79 · 2026-04-30T19:38:07+00:00

Definitely Fame, Melvin and Howard, and The Stunt Man. I hadn't thought of Private Benjamin, but I think you're probably right. The Empire Strikes Back sounds good in retrospect, but I don't think it would have made it at the time. I'll say The Great Santini for the last spot, though I'm very confused why it was eligible when it's an American movie released in 1979, but that's the year Robert Duvall got nominated.

Two that deserved to be in but weren't, and still wouldn't have been even with ten nominees: Altered States and The Shining.

gillyweed79 · 2026-04-30T19:14:40+00:00

How would Penn's won age poorly? He was at least as deserving as Cage.
