Or is it too out there for the Academy?

reply

it is way too out there.

They awarded Best Picture to fish ****ing just last year though.

reply

True but that was a big production.

reply

Too many strikes against him

reply

agreed

reply

I would love if he got a nod

reply

He did not have a lot of dialogue in this movie.

reply

But he was so good ?

reply

Of course we all know that he has already won an Oscar, right?

reply

Yes, Days of Wine and Roses...no wait it was Leaving Las Vegas

reply

How about a posthumous nod for Johan Johannsson? The score drives the whole movie.

reply

Yea, score was the best thing about this movie. Reminded me a lot of Blade Runner

reply

Of course it is. But I think Nic really doesn’t care about awards anymore. I think he likes overacting because he’s cracking himself up. And he loves the surreal. He’s got enough money where he can do exactly what he wants. And I think that is what he does.
