i honestly dont know which one is worse, emma winning over huppert and natalie or jlaw winning over emanuelle riva and jessica

[yeezy]

that was my first thought too but emanuelle was SO good, im conflicted lmfao

Matt and Trey should've won for Blame Canada.

[winegums]

They should have. But I actually wonder if Blame Canada was nominated bc they'd have had to censor Unclefucka lol.

[xpirate_queenx]

For my money, Blama Canada's the standout.

But that's a good point. Every song in that damn movie is amazing; I bet it was a tough call between those two when it came time for nominations but ultimately the amount of "fucks" per second would have made it absolutely impossible to perform on the night of the ceremony.

[winegums]

Yeah the entire performance would have been half bleeps lol.

my fave Dicaprio performance is either Wolf of Wall Street or Basketball Diaries, he's just so fucking good in both of them.

[all_nighterr]

Leo's Wolf of Wall Street performance felt too forced to me, idk. All the time I couldn't shake the feeling I was watching the Leonardo DiCaprio trying to ~act.

[winegums]

That's how all his post-Titanic performances have felt to me, barring Django. He tries so hard to ACT and not be a heartthrob, even when he's actually paired up with a woman like in Gatsby.

[unintentionalty]

I feel this way about all his performances, except for Catch Me If You Can...

the kings speech is trash and im still mad it won bp, i think leo could've won for the aviator as well but other than that ia with all ur choices op

[yeezy]

oh and as good as heath was in tdk he only won bc he died lbr

[artemislives]

Russell Crowe absolutely should have won for A Beautiful Mind over Gladiator. I love Gladiator to death, but his performance in it was nowhere near ABM

[arilicious]

I love Gladiator and he was great in it, but I'm not mad Denzel won over Russell for ABM in Training Day, lots of people hate that performance

[artemislives]

I would have much rather Denzel won for Cry Freedom or Malcolm X, because Training Day was truly terrible.

[arilicious]

I guess I could see that, as he does have some better roles out there, but I do like Training Day.
