Cinema Undeserved Oscars

[Splinty]

Jumping off this conversation in another thread



Sean Penn once went "Full Retard" and lost an Oscar. So he decided to scale it back in 2008, and just go for a bad lisp that was on par with Keanu Reeves southern accent in 'The Devil's Advocate' for cringe worthy vocalizations.

And for it, Sean Penn got his Oscar. A true act of flagrant Oscarbation.

The deserved winner that lost?

Mickey Rourke.

Rourke turned this ugly cat-woman mug into an asset:

And with it, he channeled a perfect embodiment of a B league wrestler attempting to regain his glory days. Destroyed by drugs, steroids, and painkillers for the work the fans love, the whole thing is a perfect amalgamation of Macho Man and the self flagellation of Mick Foley. Better yet, the movie parallels his own resurrection as a hollywood star, ruined with excess, startling to look at, and still addicted to the work.

Did I mention that he brought us a nude Marisa Tomei?? Ever since she recognized that lack of positraction, I've been waiting!






So who else should have received an oscar, but got screwed?

I remember being annoyed when Benjamin Button won for Special Effects over Iron Man.

I could write a 500 page book about this subject.

That's fucked up

I laughed

 

[SongExotic2]

Django should have won all the oscars

I did that all by myself.

Crash winning Best Picture at the 2006 Oscars blows my mind. Complete garbage. Check out the film called Crash made in '96 about people who get sexually turned on by car crashes. That's a great flick.

Ang Lee winning Best Director for Life of Pi. GTFO. Paul Thomas Anderson didn't even get nominated for The Master. L oh fucking L. At least when Ben Affleck won a Golden Globe that year he acknowledged how ridiculous it was that Paul wasn't nominated and called him the Orson Welles of our generation.

Whiplash over Birdman for Best Picture at the 2015 Oscars imo.

The King's Speech winning Best Picture in 2011. GTFO

Sandra Bullock winning Best Actress for The Blind Side. GTFO.

 

[Priziesthorse]

Sean Penn Best Actor for Mystic River? GTFO. Gimme Bill Murray in Lost in Translation.

Michael Caine winning Best Supporting Actor in Cider House Rules? GTFO. Gimme Tom Cruise in Magnolia. If you haven't seen his performance in that, stop what you're doing and watch it.

Life of Pi was a great book. I reckon there's a lot of nepotism overlap in the arts.

 

[Robbie Hart]

Tom Cruise not winning best actor for his work in Tropic Thunder....gtfo, that was by far his best acting work.

 

[RedDragonUK]

I would disagree that Ang Lee's direction on Life of Pi didn't deserve it it certainly did . Also Kings speech was well put together and a great movie.

The wrestler and Rourke should have won

Winner: 1977 Annie Hall - Star Wars

1988 was a tough year to call wow what a list as was 1989

Winner: Shakespeare in love - saving Private Ryan

Winner: Chicago- IMO the Pianist was a masterpiece

The year Crash won they didn't even nominate Batman begins or Walk the line

Winner:The Departed- The Queen. Honestly departed was a cover song it was just a remake of a better movie that was Infernal affairs.

Winner: 12 years a slave - wolf of wall st


Winner: spotlight - The Martian

 

[Pitbull9]

I think Dicarprio should've gotten one for this boys life. That shit was insane and he nailed it.

 

[Zeph]

How A Knight's Tale didn't get best picture, I'll never know.

 

[Filthy]

Renee Zellweger, Best Supporting Actress, Cold Mountain
Victor Fleming, Best Director, Gone with the Wind

 

[Mix6APlix]

All of them. it's just a Hollywood ass kissing session.

Sean Penn made a baby with Princess Buttercup. The daughter is smoking. Will post pics when at PC.

 

[Judobill]

Forrest Gump over Pulp Fiction.

 

[Mix6APlix]

Speaking of Tom Hanks, the only time I ever watched Castaway I was tripping on mushrooms. Good flick.

 

[Leigh]

Movies that didn't get Oscars:
The Matrix
Thor
Interstellar
Rocky IV (or III)
Inception
The Martian
V for Vendetta

Therefore, ANY movie that DID win an Oscar didn't deserve to.

Honestly, I don't think I've enjoyed any movie that won an Oscar. It's a great review which tells you a movie is yawn-o-rama.

 

[BeardOfKnowledge]

Best picture - 2013 - Argo

Zero Dark Thrity - Did Not Win.

 

[Kingtony87]

While DiCaprio probably deserved an Oscar he didn't deserve one for the revenant. While that movie was visually stunning, the story, pacing, and acting were meh....

Even more egregious that year was Stallone not winning for Creed.

I'll take a 500-page thread so we can drown out chit chat and song2's weird foot obsession.

Let's be honest


Unless it's written by me it unlikely any thread on here will hit 50 pages.

The exception would be in regard to my untimely demise and looking back fondly at my life and times as commander in chief off topic

The fact that Gladiator gets to be mentioned in the same sentence as films like The Godfather or The Deer Hunter is unforgivable. That's when I gave up on the Oscars. The nominees were thin that year and Requiem for a Dream wasn't one of them, which is criminal.

1993 Oscar going to Al Pacino for Scent of a Woman was similarly disgraceful. Sympathy Oscar after his having been passed over so many times, but the beginning of his turn to yelling annoying Al instead of the more nuanced actor he'd previously been. Denzel Washington should have won for Malcolm X and it's not even close, though Stephen Rea in The Crying Game may have been acceptable too.
