Hardy's "Revenant" performance stood head-and-shoulders above that of Mark Rylance's in "Bridge of Spies," so I'm mystified by all the hoopla surrounding Rylance and the lack of such regarding Hardy.
shareHaving seen both, I agree with you completely.
shareAs do I..
shareHe was good, but I don't think that it was an Oscar winning performance.

And not even a mention for "Legend" which was a genius.
shareAs a long-time fan of Hardy, and someone who has been waiting for him to get an Oscar nod for years, I have to say that I respectfully disagree. He was good in The Revenant, but some of his other performances have been much more worthy of a nom and/or win. He paints with pretty broad strokes here, whereas Rylance is beautifully understated and precise. It never once remotely feels like acting. Rylance deserves his award.

Hardy was much better in Legend, even if The Revenant overall was a better movie.

Wrong Raylance deserved his Zeke.
The Revenant was a better film than Legend but not by much. At first it appeared the AGI was going to give us the irrefutable classic that I've been waiting for - instead he blows the lot. Surely the death of his friend and saviour should have been enough for Glass to get even with the Frenchies. Adding a rape scene was unnecessary and melodramatic. Cheapening the film and marginalizing Hikuc at the same time.

Mark Rylance deserved his Oscar. I enjoyed the Fitzgerald performance, it was startling and menacing but if it wasn't going to get the little golden statue then I was pleased as punch Rylance's performance had the winning ticket. It was subtle, yet sly and so skilful in the most masterful way....he stole every scene he was in.
