the return of the Brutally Honest Oscar Ballot from THR

Posted by Diva (aka Diva) Feb 24 '16, 06:55

"I rule out Leonardo immediately because it’s a ridiculous performance," says this longtime voter in the executives branch. "They are running his campaign based on how hard it was to make the movie, right? I’m tired of hearing about it — that's what he gets paid for!"

not that this will matter... (www.hollywoodreporter.com)

Responses:

I love these so thanks for posting. I hate this voter though. What a jerk. -- (edited) - ty97 Feb 24, 07:46 5
- I like his candor though even though I don't always agree. This is how people talk amongst themselves when they talk about awards preferences. - Diva Feb 24, 07:49 4
  - I'm mostly mad at him for his Stallone 'logic'. Ugh. -- nm - ty97 Feb 24, 07:51 3
    - But he is also correct. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 07:56
    - but that is how those 'he's earned it' awards happen. and at least one happens every year. exactly that thinking. -- nm - Andie Feb 24, 07:54 1
      - YSMM. This stuff happens all the time. -- nm - Diva Feb 24, 07:55
"I don't know the difference between these two. Nobody does." -- nm - Beryllium Feb 24, 07:38
I disagree that actors (esp. supporting ones) should be summarily dismissed because the movie as a whole was not good. -- nm - zork Feb 24, 07:18 2
- If this was a criteria for Best Actress we would have a lot of different winners. - Diva Feb 24, 07:20
- Indeed, shouldn't they be given more credit for shining brightly in a work which was otherwise subpar? -- nm - Negabaronic Middle-Aged Forehead Feb 24, 07:19
Is it wrong for me to expect at the very least to have seen all 8 best picture nominees? -- nm - LMS Feb 24, 07:15 3
- It depends. - Spawn Feb 24, 07:47
- this was my thought. I'd feel like I had to -- nm - Beaker Feb 24, 07:32
- I don't think so. -- nm - Diva Feb 24, 07:30
Whoever chose that font with such a ridiculous "g" should be shot. -- nm - zork Feb 24, 07:07 1
- agreed. -- nm - Beaker Feb 24, 07:11
"I didn't see two of them, and I hated the third. I am voting for Mad Max solely because I want to stop The Revenant." -- nm - Beaker Feb 24, 07:06
He has a big time hatey on Leo -- nm - amoxy Feb 24, 07:04 2
- But he is also correct. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 07:15
- and that movie in general. -- nm - Diva Feb 24, 07:05
I always love these. That's astute analysis on The Martian and The Danish Girl, too. -- nm - David Feb 24, 07:02 2
- IIRC they will do others this week, yes? If so, I'll post them here. They're very interesting. -- nm - Diva Feb 24, 07:05 1
  - I'm pretty sure they posted three last year, yes. -- nm - David Feb 24, 07:09
