In response to "I think it's just the lack of a crafty movie." by spamlet

I actually agree about McAdams. Kim and I had this conversation the other day.

I'm hard pressed to differentiate what her character did as opposed to any other character in the film.

Spotlight is a masterful ensemble film. Nobody should stand apart from the rest. I also feel the same is true of The Big Short and The Martian, two brilliant films that earned one Oscar between them.

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
      - "We got a role for a guy with a thing on his face" "Lets get Tom Hardy" -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 11:18
  - 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
