One of these is not like the others.

The article is more detailed and they have “categories.” BC is under “They Want It So Bad” lol

[therearewords]

Yikes.

I hate the idea of being "overdue" for an award. it just sets everyone up for "career" awards, instead of taking each year as an independent event and awarding based on those performances alone (which is how it should be).

[behansu]

I absolutely agree. However, I always see people saying awards should be based on performances alone whenever a POC has a great narrative to go along with their great performance. And I'm pretty sure these are the same kinds of people who have no problem with awards going to overdue actors. The hypocrisy!

I'm not calling you or anyone on ONTD out for doing this, rather it's everywhere else and I noticed it a lot this awards season. Yeah, in an ideal world it would be performance based only, but that's truly impossible because things don't happen in a vacuum and these are all subjective anyway. But in the meantime, I'm fine with narratives helping those who are traditionally under-rewarded anyway. Though of course this overdue list is dominated by white actors lol.

yeah, that shit is why Ellen Burstyn was ROBBED by Julia Roberts

how any of those academy voters could have looked at the performances in Requiem and Erin Brockovich and thought, "Julia Roberts was definitely better" is insanity to me. She wasn't bad, but it wasn't the world's most challenging role, either.

[ginainabottle]

If we’re gonna talk about robbery, Gwyneth Paltrow winning is by far the worst. Literally EVERYONE in that category was, on a bad day, a far better actor than she is on her best performance.

[itsme_eloise]

the truly overdue have never been nominated (BIPOC actors)

[behansu]

I was scrolling through the list thinking to myself, "sounds about white" until I got to the very end lmao.

Thomas Newman and PTA not having any Oscars yet is surprising news to me!

Lily Gladstone deserved one for her role tbh. I loved Poor Things and I loved Emma in it but I really wished it would've gone to her this year.

[steffi_333]

Thomas Newman is my fave composer. I can’t believe he’s never won!!!!!

[spacemonkey_699]

I was obsessed with his Road to Perdition score back in the day

[flamingicecream]

Its perfection. Alongside Shawshank, American Beauty and Revolutionary Road.

[demented_21]

hot take: matt damon

[genbu_no_miko24]

He already won one for screenplay along with Ben for Good Will Hunting.

[demented_21]

true but imo he's overdue for an acting award as well. way more than, like, bradley cooper.

(and i say this as a neutral, i'm not a matt damon stan or anything lol, if that even exists)

[aleksie]

At my age and being on the internet so much, I can guarantee there is at least one Matt Damon stan out there. Maybe dozens.
