Congrats on the Oscar win.


I don't think his career will bounce. He will be forgotten like Rene Zelleger a few years ago.

reply

Fraser is a much better actor than Renee and he deserved to win. So glad Elvis is getting no wins, fuck that shit. So glad an actual performance won for once instead of just giving to people for playing a famous person

reply

Well deserved TBH. I can't believe Encino Man and Chazz won an Oscar. Good for him! I always liked him since School Ties but fell in love with him because of Blast from the Past. lol

reply

I REALLY ENJOY BLAST FROM THE PAST.

did you watch it ... " In Color!" ?

reply

Movie night? My treat!

reply

Did you watch his other Whale movie from back in the day? Another great dramatic performance. 👍👍

ETA: Gods and Monsters

reply

No...what movie are you speaking of?

reply

IT IS SPEAKING OF GODS AND MONSTERS...BRENDAN FRASER AND SIR IAN MCKELLEN...GREAT MOVIE.

reply

TY...I will be adding it to my watchlist. Who am I kidding? I will probably watch it tonight before bed. lol

reply

I watched it last night and I think you set me up. A lot of gayness in the film...a little warning would've been nice. Anyway, the film was good...a bit slow at times. Brendan Fraser wasn't the star of the show though. It was all Gandolf...he killed it with that performance! To think that's the same person to play Magneto...that is top-shelf acting right there. He probably should've won the Oscar that year...but at least he was nominated.

I was wondering how this movie got past me but I saw what it was up against. So many classics came out in 98...a movie about the gays in Hollyweird would've not been on the top of my list.

But Rene Zellweger decided to mess up her face with plastic surgery.

reply

I was happy he won as I predicted. I think his career will do fine.

reply

he's a bit old for a comeback. this was a role made for him.

reply

I EXPECT A MUMMY FOLLOW-UP IN THE NEAR FUTURE...I HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR MISTER FRASER.

reply

I don't think it's possible. He's too... emotional now. In the cameo he'll be ballin' his eyes out.

reply

This is hilarious.

Imagine if you told someone twenty years ago Will Smith and Brendon Fraser would be back to back Oscar winners! They'd laugh in your face...

Anyway, at least he managed to collect the award without slapping anyone in the face! Good for him.

"Anyway, at least he managed to collect the award without slapping anyone in the face! Good for him."

Lol!

reply

It might be that he's not a cuckold with an insane overbearing witch for a wife.

reply

At least they didnt give it to that Austin guy for simply wearing Elvis make up. Brendan didnt deserve it for simply wearing fat suit of course too. But someone had to get it. He seems harmless. Oscars have been joke for many years now anyway.

reply


I haven't for years nor will I ever again watch an Oscars broadcast, but did anyone joke about the slap heard 'round the world?
