[tylerleigh]

…I genuinely had no idea about the existence of Arbitrage.

[The Dark Poet]

mads mikkelsen

Yep, or Jean-Louis Trintignant. Or Denis Lavant.

Of this lineup, Hawkes - but only because Helen Hunt expected a nomination after filming his death scene.

[George Addison]

Trintignant Phoenix.

[DameOctaviaSpencer]

A decent set of nominees.

1. Joaquin Phoenix
2. Daniel Day-Lewis
3. Richard Gere
4. John Hawkes
5. Denzel Washington

Should have been:
1. Mads Mikkelsen (The Hunt)
2. Logan Lerman (The Perks of Being a Wallflower)
3. Joaquin Phoenix (The Master)
4. Jean-Louis Trintignant (Amour)
5. Matthias Schoenaerts (Rust and Bone)

[Tavish]

I kinda tired of Phoenix winning every poll PSH was better in the same movie!

Voted for Hawkes. His Oscar snub was atrocious

[Peppin]

Should have been Hopkins for Hitchcock

[Denzelfan]

Joaquin but this is a really good line up.

[Eduardo Zuckerberg]

Duh

[The Dark Poet]

I kinda tired of Phoenix winning every poll PSH was better in the same movie!

Voted for Hawkes. His Oscar snub was atrocious

Yes! Phoenix is fine, but it's a performance that relies on tics and quirks. Contrast this with the more fully-formed, deeply complex work being done by PSH, who should have been the one competing in lead.

[Nerds Rope]

The Master should’ve been Joaquin’s Oscar.

[Cooper]

Of this lineup, Hawkes - but only because Helen Hunt expected a nomination after filming his death scene.

I recall reading about that on this forum not long ago. Good for her! Humility is highly overrated.

The Master should’ve been Joaquin’s Oscar.

Very interesting. I toyed with watching The Master a few months back. So far, the only nominee I've seen is DDL.

[lazarus]

I'm not saying he's the best here, but we should be talking more about this Denzel performance. It's a tour-de-force.

[Nerds Rope]

Very interesting. I toyed with watching The Master a few months back. So far, the only nominee I've seen is DDL.

I don’t love the movie but the acting is phenomenal. Phoenix, Hoffman, and Adams all deserved to win in their categories.

[Bee]

Ummm, I loved PSH in The Master but it's not like his performance was a stretch from what he usually does.

It's obviously Whyquin but this set is fine enough with Hawkes and Denzel, who I was surprised was very mellow in Flight.

[klariso]

Hawkes for me over Phoenix, both are really great

[bickle]
