It is only an award. There is so much wrong with the world. Maybe we SHOULD ALL work at fixing what is wrong. “Hollywood” is generally so liberal that I am surprised that a black actor was not nominated just because he/she is black. WHO are these people, making so much money that they cannot share. Oh, there are not a lot of roles for old ladies with wrinkles either. Come on Hollywood, share with the rest of us, not just the blacks.
Mmmaybe not so liberal, then, eh, Blackhead???
There go the blacks crying again. Don’t they realize that white people want to see good talent who speak like US. Sometimes I cannot even understand what they are saying. Speak enhlish African American not the stuff you talk.
And there go the neckkks acting dumb and sarcastic again!
Oh, and of course, they must squeeze in a Speilberg pix. Does the Academy realize that it tanked???
The Oscars are not a popularity contest. It is about the quality of the project. CRASH hardly found an audience when it came out, and it went on to win a well deserved Oscar.
Nor did a realize BRIDGE OF SPIES was a “good” movie! Another rah rah movie from the blowhard Thanks. Let’s see . . . how many noms did it bet beside Pix??? Either way, I don’t go see Dreamworks movies. Sorry.
Don’t be sorry. I try not to limit my options, so I tend not to exclude a whole production team for their past artistic transgressions. I prefer to keep an open mind. I don’t wish to miss out on something that might be worthy of my attention. That said, my comment was neither a rave review of the movie, nor a condemnation. I was merely trying to point out that the Oscars are not meant to acknowledge a healthy box office, but are obliged to call out a film of some artistic value.
I am surprised by the MAD MAX and EX MACHINA noms although I was actaully hoping for an original screenplay nom for the latter. First sci-fi script nom in a very long time.
One snub was Michael Keaton for SPOTLIGHT instead they give a supporting nom to the sniveling, over-acting Mark Rufalo. And did anyone catch Gonzalez I~narritu bringing the shame on Garcia Bernal and Keaton when he said at the Golden Globe Awards that working with Leo was his “best film experience”???
The other significant snub was The Danish Guy–I mean–The Danish Girl–in the make-up category! I mean, come on, Academy, it must take beaucoup make-up to make Freddie Redmange into a girl!!!
I just wanted John Williams to be nominated for his score for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
That’s stupid.
As are you. So, I just happened to care about someone I like getting a nomination. So what?
“The Revenant” sweeps, FOX dominates again. FOX has a piece of “4” flicks on the list
Mad Max? Seriously? I guess not. No wonder the rest of the lists look so feeble.
Steve Carrell was far better than Brian Cranston. Trumbo was a movie of cardboard characters, including his. Bridge of Spies — eh. Otherwise not bad picks.
Congratulations Lady Gaga! :)
SERIOUSLY?? Fury Road?? Just that being on the list negates everything else nominated if they are that stupid. SAD.
Haven’t seen a film at a theater in 10 years, don’t plan to ever again. Just don’t care.
Too many pointless nominations (even though they are in tech category) for The Nostalgia Awakens.
Lady Gaga! Well deserved!
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
Okay who did Gaga paid for her golden globe and now oscar nom?
Hollywood as usual hates Star Wsrs 7 , soon to be the most popular film ever.. The Oscars are irrelevant .. Ha ha..
What are you talking about? Star Wars got a few nominations. Dominating the Box Office is not enough for you? Now we are to give awards based on popularity? Get a life.
Star Wars is only popular to the McDonald’s pop crowd and their kids. And also, Star Wars won’t reach 2.7billion of Avatar, so it’s just another blockbuster for the McDonald’s and Burger King crowd.
As with EVERY OTHER YEAR, no love for the stunt teams who were actually employed on MANY of the nominated films!
And, still no nomination category for Casting. Both continue to be odd omissions.
Mad max is nominated as best picture? LOL! That movie was utterly ridiculous, like watching a video game.
Very true.
none of my picks will probably win, but i’m very happy to see that bryan cranston got nominated for ‘trumbo’ and charlotte rampling for ’45 years’…if either won…or both won…my respect may return for the academy, but doubtful…
the best shot i have is in the documentary section, with the mesmerizing ‘amy’…but i have to admit, i am tremendously pleased to see ‘what happened miss simone’ in there as well…
the saddest truth to all of this is, if you stay away from the multiplex theatres and check out independent art houses, you discover that all the truly deserving nominees never actually get mentioned…
No Jacob Tremblay? Robbed! Age discrimination! Jacob was my favorite this year as well as Brie and Room! Love that movie, and so happy it is nominated!
Carol got screwed .
I hope Spotlight wins best picture director original screenplay and editing .
The Revernant is the weakest of the 8 films.
Congrats to Saoirse Ronan for BROOKLYN – the femme perf of the year!
Condolences to tech crew for THE WALK – shut out for Visual Effects, Production Design, Cinematography.
If Leo doesn’t win, and Eddie wins for that awful Danish Girl, I will join the millions who don’t watch anymore.
liberals are already whining that there are no “non-white” nominees. do those idiots ever stop crying about stupid_shit?
no
live on abc not nbc
No nom for Ridley?
There it is! Thank you.
The usual bigots will soon tell us how racist Hollywood is for having white nominees.
The world is racist, why should Hollywood be excluded. Its just fact, look at history in every aspect.
Go John Williams! Well done for a 50th nomination. You won it for Star Wars in 77, good luck for Star Wars The Force Awakens this time.
Surprised that Carol was left out for Best Picture! And where was See You Again for Best Song!?
what movie was see you again for?? that god-awful ff shit?
It’s a mediocre song, and thus it was justifiabIy omitted.
Sad for CaroI and Haynes though!
So I gues there were no nominees for best actress?
Sure there are, and they are listed above.
This is not a complete list. Why have you not included all nominees?
Foreign language noms?
what a joke most of these noms are. typical garbage getting best pic noms. bridge of boredom, craplyn, the revebore. as for acting well thats just beyond a laugh. ronan whatever she is called is so dull her career is like dishwater. best gotten rid of straight away.
“Quickly everyone! The inestimable Alex Downey says our nominations are a joke! We’d better retract everything and draft a completely new list based on his insight! What FOOLS we’ve been. Oh, the humanity!!”
… said no one in Hollywood ever.
Thank God Straight Outta Compton did not receive any major award nominations!
Actually, it did. Best Original Screenplay and it was well deserved.
