Oscars 2015

Oh, yeah. I read those. The Hollywood Reporter interviewed several academy members about who they voted for and why, and kept them anonymous. The responses included, openly and explicitly:

Points off for "not liking" a main character
Points off for not being as likely to win (well, who wants to vote for a loser?)
Points off for "being tired of" an actor, especially if they've won before
Points off for "not getting it" (defensible, actually)
Points off if the cast came to a publicity event with "I can't breathe" t-shirts
Points off for "not showing what a character feels"
Points off an actors performance if they didn't like the movie apart from the performance
Points off if a character is a bad model
Points off for being "britishy"
Points off if the subject of a documentary is (personally) "annoying"
Points given for an actor who has less chance of winning in the future
Points given for a movie that "shows that people will go [to movies] if you put something out that they want to see (was successful)
Points given for liking an actor in the interviews they've done, for another actor who's "humble and endearing" in real life
Points given in one category if they felt the movie was snubbed in another category

Shocking

morbs can u plz weigh in now with something deeply cynical bcz I can't pull it off convincingly even though i hate the oscars with a fire matched only by mid-term elections

Points off for "being tired of" an actor, especially if they've won before

Fair enough IMO!

although GTFO with
Points off if a character is a bad model

geena davis robbed

Points off if a character is a bad model

Eddie Redmayne was a great model tho.

love the editor's notes in the hollywood reporter article

for that movie not to be in over these two obscure freakin' Chinese fuckin' things that nobody ever freakin' saw [an apparent reference to the Japanese film The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, as well as the Irish film Song of the Sea]?

tough but fair

it's been said that the Irish are the Japanese of Europe

Alexa Chung's SKY tv commentary coming in for a pasting and it's barely started.

CUT TO

Benedict Cumberbatch

Snow White moment

the night the Tonys suddenly didn't look so gay

it's a parody you yutzes

Eddie Murphy is there!

Ok fine, I'm watching

no Nicholson sighting so far.. maybe he's ill

I'm all-in on this too.

Ed Norton = ageless

I had to look him jup to remember why I knew him--yes, Spiderman.

i was gonna say every grey straight on the globe tuned out in 2 minutes but clemenza made my point for me

holy shit that speech was a genuine emo moment!

Simmons has probably done more man-on-man buttfucking on TV than any other American actor.

and is 60, obv offputting to alder viewers

hey NPH thinks "confirmed kill" joeks are golden. Def the house f*ggot.

p sure Liam Neeson now knows he will be remembered as the less haggard Charles Bronson

i wonder if Milena Canonero (won her first for Barry Lyndon) thought Kubrick was as big an ivory-tower twee nerd as Wes Anderson

wow a speech dedicated entirely to Wes Anderson. it's a new world.

(make that 2)

Those are the "welp, started winning technical awards, nothing coming in the big awards" speeches iirc
