@virgil Yep, and then Denzil got his for Training Day when he should have got it for the Hurricane (and Malcom X )
@Rancid-Schnitzel You don't think Pacino was hammy as fuck in Scent of a Women? Especially when you consider all the movies he could have won for. Oh, and Brody is shit, he's shit in everything, I don't know how he keeps getting main roles (I guess he doesn't get as many now) - he almost singlehandedly made Peaky Blinders unwatchable.
I don't know if you can necessarily call that ham but I would accept that Oscar was more a reward for past performances. Who the fark beat him for Godfather 1 and 2? Renee Zellweger for Cold Mountain was also a joke and was just compensation for Chicago.
Check out Brody in that Predator film. An action star he is not.

@jegga I'm surprised you mentioned that movie without mentioning the nakedness of Charlize Theron - you're slipping.
Pacino probably should have won for a Godfather or Serpico.
He's (Brody) only in one series, the most recent one, so you're good to watch the early ones.
I’m not a Theron fan , so her nudity couldn’t rescue that train wreck.
I’ve watched up until where Cillian Murphys family are about to get arrested. Enjoyed the earlier seasons but it was getting a bit repetitive. Holy shit Sam Neill was good as the bad guy.
Oh, I think you're nearly up to the series he's in then?
I'm not much a Theron fan either ...

Brody in predators , yeah nah. Would have rather seen more of Fishburnes character.
Fishburn phoned that performance in. He was also ridiculously overweight for someone who'd been living in a cave for years. Was he eating Predator KFC?

Her acting? I couldn't care less about her acting, although she was very good in Monster. She had to be, she wasn't gorgeous.

He probably ate his mates , it would have been interesting to find out how he managed to survive so long .

@rancid-schnitzel I got through about 15 minutes of Predator, then took a break and was going to come back to it and haven't ... that was in 2011.

Linda Fiorentino was robbed for an Oscar over the last seduction ,there was some technicality that made it ineligible.
It was an HBO (TV) movie wasn't it?
It was released to theatres too but being on hbo too made it ineligible.

Yeah, I think it was released on HBO first and they needed to go to cinemas first to be eligible.

@jegga Brody was the total cliche New York gangster in Peaky Blinders, certainly did it no favours!
I like Theron, although took me a few years to wipe the memory banks of her in Monster (where her acting was superb)

I was like that with Penelope Cruz, always liked her and then saw her in Blow and her character was awful, and she was not hot for me straight away, took a few years for me to like her again. Now that was some great acting deserving of an Oscar.

@taniwharugby I’ll definitely pass then , I liked it when they had more World War One stuff in it.

Neither did I after Blow.
Man, we must all be adonis's to not rate these obviously attractive actresses
-
@nepia I mean I dont rate her as attractive...but then I am an adonis.

Yeah, that's what I meant, I found her character so awful in Blow that I stopped finding her attractive for a time.
-
@nepia I think she is a pretty good actress but never found her attractive.

I’m sure she’s gutted to hear that
