I think it's just the lack of a crafty movie.

It was more of an ensemble picture and as Reagen mentioned there were much better performances.

I don't even think McAdams deserved her nom. She was fine but nothing out of the ordinary.

I agree re: McAdams. -- nm - kelly Feb 29, 11:10
i also agree about McAdams. -- nm - Andie Feb 29, 11:06 1
- Though I want to congratulate McAdams. With Spotlight and True Detective, she has moved out of the romantic movie pigeonhole -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 11:12
I actually agree about McAdams. Kim and I had this conversation the other day. - David Feb 29, 11:04 7
- Have we gotten to the point where there needs to be an acting award that goes to an entire cast? - Jim Feb 29, 11:07 6
  - I've long thought there should be, though the SAG awards have picked up some of that slack - Reagen Feb 29, 11:08 4
    - but I think its a problem putting say a huge movie vs a movie where the cast is essentially Bale Gosling Carrell Pitt -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 11:14 2
      - The award would probably be Best Casting Director - so it would go to someone who fit the actors best with their roles - Reagen Feb 29, 11:16 1

    - I definitely agree with the IM. Stunts and action sequences make up large amounts of films and there is no major recognition for those folks. - Jim Feb 29, 11:10
  - The SAG awards have that. I don't see the need to bring it to the Oscars, just another point of controversy -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 11:08
When we saw it at TIFF, the real life reporters played by Keaton and Ruffalo were there and we were super impressed -- (edited) - ty97 Feb 29, 11:04 2
- From what I've seen, I think Ruffalo nailed it and while I'm glad Rylance won, Ruffalo definitely deserved the nom. - spamlet Feb 29, 11:07 1
  - Yeah, as crowded as lead actress was, Supporting Actress did not have as much competition for slots this year. - ty97 Feb 29, 11:11
