C-can I star in an Oscar movie next?

RESPECT THE COCK
It's really a crime he hasn't won an Oscar yet. He definitely deserves one more than fucking Leo.
They will give him a lifetime achievement award.
Let's predict next year's Oscars even though we're 2 months into the year and no good films have come out yet.
(Pic related is Scorsese's new movie.)
"do you want to live deliciously?"
Keaton gets nom'd for the Founder, still doesn't win. Founder wins best picture. Keaton meme begins.
The Birth of a Nation nominated at least 12 times (including Best Picture, Director, Actor/Actress, Writing)
So I watched this last night after it won best picture.
So why do you anons not like the film? It was fucking brilliant. Only "bad" thing about it is that it more historical then most films.
Best acting as a group, best movie scene of the year. Why do you hate it? What do you think should of won best picture? Mad Max?

Spotlight's not a bad film in any way. however, it's not a great film. Mad Max and The Revenant are great films. Room is almost great but should have included another scene with William H. Macy. okay, back to Spotlight. the film is a newspaper procedural that hits all the beats, is competently directed, acted, shot, etc., but there is no single great moment in it. the film depicts institutional corruption of 3 or 4 major institutions that let, or more accurately, didn't stop kids get molested for decades. very important story. yet the film lacks that ephemeral greatness. now, think if this film had been directed by Scorsese or early Coppola. they would have elevated the adapted the material in a far better manner, i think.

>Mad Max and Revenant are great films
They really aren't. Your thoughts on Spotlight are reasonably accurate though.
This was an incredibly weak year for best picture.
>>66538250
Also, Scorsese would have ruined everything Spotlight was trying to do. It's understatement was why it was so good. Scorsese would have made it about his style.

Than reading reviews of my own movies. I usually try to avoid the experience - but this one takes the cake. Often, to my great amusement, a critic will mention my past films in glowing terms, when at the time those same films were savaged, as if to highlight the critic's flawed belief of my descent into mediocrity. You see, my dear fellow FBookers, I have rarely gotten great reviews… on any of my movies, apart from those by reviewers who think for themselves and make up their own opinions. Sadly those type of reviewers are nearly all dead. Good reviews often come many years after the movie has opened. I guess I have the knack of rubbing reviewers the wrong way - always have. This time of course they have bigger axes to grind - they can rip into my movie while trying to make their mainly pale asses look so politically correct by screaming "white-wash!!!” like the deranged idiots they all are. They fail to understand, or chose to pretend to not understand what this movie is, so as to serve some bizarre consensus of opinion which has nothing to do with the movie at all. That’s ok, this modern age of texting will probably make them go the way of the dinosaur or the newspaper shortly - don't movie-goers text their friends with what they thought of a movie?

>Seems most critics spend their time trying to work out what most people will want to hear. How do you do that? Why these days it is so easy... just surf the net to read other reviews or what bloggers are saying - no matter how misguided an opinion of a movie might be before it actually comes out. Lock a critic in a room with a movie no one has even seen and they will not know what to make of it. Because contrary to what a critic should probably be they have no personal taste or opinion, because they are basing their views on the status quo. None of them are brave enough to say “well I like it” if it goes against consensus. Therefore they are less than worthless. Now that anyone can post their opinion about anything from a movie to a pair of shoes to a hamburger, what value do they have - nothing. Roger Ebert wasn’t bad. He was a true film lover at least, a failed film-maker, which gave him a great deal of insight. His passion for film was contagious and he shared this with his fans. He loved films and his contribution to cinema as a result was positive. Now we have a pack of diseased vultures pecking at the bones of a dying carcass. Trying to peck to the rhythm of the consensus. I applaud any film-goer who values their own opinion enough to not base it on what the pack-mentality say is good or bad.

He's not wrong, GOE maybe unintentional comedy of the year, but I wouldn't look to the same people that gave iron man 3 and Indy 4 a positive review
fucking based
Knowing's finale was pretty good
>muh action move doesnt deserve an oscar
>no plot at all
>no dialogues
Why did normies hate Mad Max?
Just contrarian faggots?
Oscar bait wins Oscars. Big surprise
It got shitloads of secondary Oscars.
It's obvious that the normies who voted for the Oscars appreciated it.
The three best character arcs of 2015 all took place in Fury Road.
Why.....?
Visual effects are about faking reality.
>>66537285
You picked the scene with the worst FX in Mad Max to showcase why it should have won the award?
>>66537285
>muh explosion
go watch some michael bay shit you retard

Daily reminder that the same group of people who voted for Spotlight to be Best Picture gave a convicted pedophile a standing ovation.

Rachel McAdams should have worn a dress that showed off her big fat butt more instead of one that showed off her measly sideboobs
Fucking a 15 year old isn't pedophilia. It's hebephilia, which is neither uncommon nor unnatural for men. Also, consensual sex is not rape.

>which is neither uncommon nor unnatural for men
It's against the law which he fully knew before doing it.
Did it really deserve the oscar? I watched the movie and effects are pretty... average.
>>66536105
What do you mean average? They sit perfectly well within the film and never once distract you by being unbelievable.
not for special fx but it was kind of a pity oscar since it got snubbed for best picture and a lot of other shit like oscar isaac for best supporting
>>66536145
yes but there are plenty of movies that can map an actor's face onto a cgi body and not suck at it. and wasn't it just a costume most of the time? she start wearing dress and a wig after a time right? am I wrong?
that looks like shia actually
regardless
based hardy
he's a big narcissist
>>66535763
FOR HIM
They need to renew it and soon!
Because I'm hopelessly desperately in love with...
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend! On The CW!
Fuck off Rachel
What the fuck even is this?
Go away marketer

kept you waiting, huh.
Spoony is just a poor man's Egoraptor

Wow, I didn't realize it was possible to be a poor man's poor man.

I can never imagine what it feels like to be in a t-shirt, holy shit, he must be freezing. Where I live my house is filled with cold, cold, air. I have to have like 4 layers on at once with no skin exposed just sitting at the PC and the air around me is freezing.
How did Rylance win best supporting actor over Hardy, Sly, or Ruffalo? What the fuck happened? He was in the movie for 10 minutes and his performance was competent, but completely unremarkable.

>I know nothing about acting but I prefer hammy over the top acting over realism
>>66534123
The nose knows.

He's a meme stage play actor who barely appears in films.
He's like Paul Scofield or Jon Finch.
/tv/ I didn't watch the Oscar's last night because I figured there will be a plethora of white guilt talk due to the "muh inclusions" whining about it.
I know Chris Rock was a host and he only can make race jokes. Outside of Chris Rock however was there a bunch of cringey "We're sorry for being white" moments?

Insecurities: The post
The shittiest part was Lady Gaga's rape performance.

Whiny bitch.
Spotlight now joins the ranks of timeless classics such as:
>The Artist
>Crash
>Shakespeare in Love
>Million Dollar Baby
>The English Patient
>Oliver!
>Argo
>The Hurt Locker
Films remembered as the peak of cinema, that left a significant cultural impact.
>>66533272
Ayy lmao
As much as I didn't want Mad Max to win Best Picture, it would have been a better choice than Spotlight.
But Argo was actually good
Oliver! is a classic though
Who here watches "The Flash"?
Any possible theories on who this man might be?
>>66532928
Earth 2 Wally West
Jay
Looks like Doctor Boom.
