2016 Academy Awards/Oscars - Nominees Announced Today - February 28th

 
The Martian is one of those great and enjoyable movies from top to bottom. It's got action, drama, science/science fiction, comedy, and likable characters. I wish the crew was able to be fleshed out a bit more, but it was a lot to fit in and it did a great job adapting the book.

Damon is deserving of a nomination. 

And I have no problem with Stallone being nominated. He was  really great in that movie and I'm sure part of the appeal for voters was the fact that he's playing a character he created forty damn years ago.. and he can still hit those emotional character moments and have you caring and believing in him.

And like it's been mentioned, it's hard to take the "XYZ was snubbed" unless you talk about who they should be voted in over. The exception being the Best Picture race since you're allowed up to 10 nominees in that category. That's the biggest problem with awards in general and how people view them, it's not the all-encompassing selection of greatness for the year. 9/10 there's always other people who deserved to be recognized, but they can only nominate so many.
Agree on all points. Stallone cancer scene was an auto nom for an Oscar. Baffled why anyone would disagree.

the martian wasn't that enjoyable to me and i'm someone who is always wanting a good sci-fi movie. Would rather watch elysium and chappie before watching the martian a second time.
 
I think a lot of people forget how much of an icon Rocky is.. the original movie beat out Network, All the President's Men, and Taxi Driver for Best Picture.

Yeah, the later sequels got ridiculous and Stallone starred in some duds.. but Rocky Balboa is an America cinematic icon.. so a great performance in a critically acclaimed new movie will get a nomination.
 
This year isn't as strong as previous years, imo.

I'm hoping Leo finally gets it, but I think Hollywood has Redmayne taking it.
 
Eh the academy already had Leto win as a ******. Let my dude Leo flourish. Though, I will miss the memes and enjoy new ones if he doesn't win :lol:
 
I have a hard time seeing the Academy awarding Eddie Redmayne two years in a row. I think it's between Fassbender and Leo at this point. They might give it to Leo just to get it over with

Redmayne would definitely be worthy of receiving the oscar again for his role in The Danish Girl.

I'm rooting for Leo as well though, he was spectacular in Revenant.

I agree with the majority of the nominations though there's a couple movies in there I haven't seen.

I do think Idris Elba deserves a nomination for best supporting actor in Beasts Of No Nation.

As a whole though there's only 1 movie that I feel has really been snubbed and that's Hateful Eight.

-Creed isn't an Oscar worthy movie.
-SOC shouldn't even be thought about. Cartoonish corny movie. Go back and watch it...its average at best.

Nostalgia is a mug :lol:
 
Creed top 3 movie of the yr IMO, and I saw ALOT of movies in 2015. Either way screw all these awards they cant define how you personally feel about of flick especially when the people who determine winners have totally different interest than you.
 
black people need to stop worry about white people giving out awards... its like a battered wife asking he husband why didnt he bring home some nice lingerie and a bottle of wine when he got paid... his answer is " i dont give a **** about you" 

black people only get recognized when they are slaves , cross dressers, butlers, or horrible characters all around. 

stop fighting for equality in a non equal society.  

LEO cant even get an Oscar... lloll

i haven't seen most of the movies that were nominated this year so i will refrain from speaking on them, but i was incredibly surprised to see that "beasts of no nation" wasn't on there, the storyline, idris' acting, abraham attah's acting, the cinematography, the visuals... cary fukunaga's time is coming, but this was a snub in my opinion.

I think we can blame it being released on Netflix for it's complete snub.

On fighting for equality, they only give out breadcrumbs at their convenience

It got snubbed because the big studios fear Netflix. The big studios have the Academy in their pocket
