Tremblay gave the best lead performance this year imo. But the kid is like 9 years old so it's no surprise the Academy didn't nominate him

There are guys (and gals) who win where they just acted their *** off and it's probably gonna be the only time they get it.
is there an example of an actor who stops trying after winning an oscar?
I would think they normally get to turn an oscar win into even bigger and better roles
although leo is already at the level where he can get any role he wants
I don't think stop trying, but post-Oscar careers were lackluster.
Cuba Gooding is one example, who I think will get back in the limelight with his role as OJ. Another is Adrian Brody.
leo doesnt deserve an oscar for that basic performance though...
dont fall for the hype
Has anybody seen Anamalisa yet? I learned some stuff through another movie board that turned that movie on its side for me. WIIIIIILLLLDDD theory of what went down, that totally changed my outlook of the film. I need somebody in here that's also seen it to confirm it's craziness . Anyways it's a very well made film. It's a Charlie Kaufman creation so right off the bat, you know it's gonna be bizarre as hell. I don't wanna spoil anything but it's most likely gonna win an Oscar so go see it for yourself. 6.8/8
Post it in spoilers, baby pa. Interested to read this as I just saw the film recently.

Career wise, they probably can't keep up that sort of consistent acting level.
I just happen to be a fan of Brody but he doesn't consistently pick the best movies anyway. Good but not grab your attention types.
You hear about actors taking on big popular roles and then collapsing under the pressure (Superman, Spider-Man, Anakin Skywalker, etc.) and I think that's a good comparison to Oscar winners for the acting categories. The next question for both is what's next? Some may fall back from that limelight and pressure and not work for years or do things others would say were the wrong choice/beneath them. Then there's those that just **** it up with a real bad choice.
I have no doubt. I'm a Redmayne fan.And Zik you really gotta watch Danish Girl. Performance is out of this world man.
My exact sentiments regarding Macbeth & I'd probably give it the same rating.leo doesnt deserve an oscar for that basic performance though...

MACBETH
This was a very hard film to watch even with my strong background in theater and shakespeare. I love Shakespeare but this play of his is probably my least favorite story. Faasbender is great like always but the accents in this movie are a bit too much. Jumbled, mumbley, whisper grunting, shakespearian gibberish mixed with thick scottish gibberish etc. The visuals are amazing. The fight scenes were a bit overdone, meaning that they weren't shy about using super slow-motion for every movement. Anyways from a technical standpoint, I enjoyed the movie. But it was too much of a struggle to get anymore enjoyment out of it so I'm gonna give it a 5.9/8 even though I think it was well made.
E!’s New Scripted Series Sure Sounds Like a Thinly Veiled Tom Cruise Exposé
By Nate Jones, Vulture
Remember all those stories about Tom Cruise's "wife auditions"? E! does!
The network announced today its second scripted series (after The Royals) would be The Arrangement, a drama about a young actress who finds herself falling for her A-list co-star — only to be presented with a contract arranging the ins and outs of their potential relationship.
And if that wasn't salty enough, our A-lister is under the sway of a mysterious self-help figure, played by Michael Vartan, who runs something called the Institute of the Higher Mind. Yes, that's right: The hot dude from Alias is playing David Miscavige.
The series, which has been picked up for a first season of ten hour-long episodes, will star Christine Evangelista and Josh Henderson — as "Megan Morrison" and "Kyle West," sadly, and not "Hatie Colmes" and "Crom Tooze."
Logan, Weevil, Wallace, Mac, Keith, Lamb, Pizz, Madison, Leo, Meg, ****, etc, never heard or seen any of them, anywhere else, and yet, they all were fantastic.
Can we also give some kudos to Brie Larson for the stellar films she's done in the past few years?
Not to mention she has fine titty meat.
His competition this year isn't as strong as past years imo, I've seen all the oscar nominated movies in the main categories. His oscar is long overdue but I do feel that he deserves it for Revenant this year.
