Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

mojoe, if you want to look at a cameo role that is truly worthy of a nomination, do yourself a favor and watch Woody Allen's Another Woman and see how Sandy Dennis does it. And I think you are literally the only person on this board who found The Butler any kind of good. I will have to check that o...

Jane Fonda for The Butler? Yes sir. Here's my thing, if you can pull off an impressive performance in a cameo role then it should be in consideration. Jane is a seasoned professional who is quite amazing as an actress and pulls off an even more amazing Nancy Reagan, her time may be short in her act...

This year's Supporting Actress category is probably the weakest line-up in a long long time June Squibb- June was good, funny, and hit her comedy marks when needed, but I definitely wouldn't call it an Oscar worthy performance. At times it also seemed like she was reciting her lines via que-cards Sa...

My line-up for this year would have been Oprah Winfrey- The Butler Brie Larson- Short Term 12 Greta Gerwig- Frances Ha Vera Farmiga- The Conjuring Melissa McCarthy- The Heat Now with the actual line up My heart is to Judi Dench for Philomena, but I'm happy with any of them winning as long as it's no...

We all know that she was dead last on the ballots in each year.

What are you trying to say?

I'd love to chime in on this with my top 10 in each major category Picture. 10- Midnight Cowboy over Z (1969) 9- The French Connection over A Clockwork Orange (1971) 8- The Sting over The Exorcist (1973) 7- Gladiator over Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (2000) 6- Gandhi over Tootsie (1982) 5- Out of A...

I've never seen it until today. I find some of the results baffling Sally Kellerman winning over Karen Black Margaret Avery winning over contenders like Meg Tilly and Amy Madigan just to name a few. Love that Jacki Weaver leads in not only 2010 but also over everyone but Anne Hathaway in 2013, makes...

So this is not a database like this one here, where we can speak about our voting/ thoughts. This one is set up for just voting like we were members of the Academy. Some of the results are truly shocking, also I noticed everyone on this site has major hard-ons for Glenn Close ( for example, her Albe...

How has no one mentioned Misty Upham in Frozen River?!?!

Secrets & Lies, and Milos Forman

Both votes to Postino

I voted for " A Few Good Men" and Robert Altman I've never liked Howard's End nor Unforgiven so they wouldn't get my vote. I would actually substitute them for Indochine and Passion Fish I'm voting Robert Altman for the fact of this nomination would have been an "Overdue" win so ...

Just when Nebraska comes out you'll be able to judge for yourself. For me, he's definitely the Supporting. To each his own

I actually have Max von Sydow - Pelle the Conqueror, for my vote... thanks though Best Actor Dustin Hoffman- Rain Man - WINNER Gene Hackman- Mississippi Burning Max von Sydow- Pelle The Conqueror - RUNNER UP Michael Keaton- Beetlejuice Willem Dafoe- Last Temptation of Christ I guess a month can cha...
