_Rush_ was great when it came out. I never rewatched it though until like 2022 when I caught it on TV and it was just nowhere near as great as I remembered it being. I think it was because of _Ford v Ferrari_ which was so good that it makes _Rush_ feel so small in scope by comparison. Also, _Rush_ doesn't really make you feel the weight of the racing and of the engines the way _Ford v Ferrari_ does. But Bruhl should've been nominated for sure. But the movie was a flop and Bruhl is/was not "part of the Hollywood club" so to speak, so he missed.

I think with American Hustle and Silver Linings Playbook: the Academy seemed to be on a real David O. Russell high for a while. They seem to do this thing where certain filmmakers are front-and-center as their chosen “it” directors, and they’ll shower that filmmaker and their work with love and nominations, regardless of the quality. And I think Russell was that for a time. He’s fallen off of that in recent years, especially with his work on films like Amsterdam, and the resurfacing of his abusive tendencies on his film sets (especially towards George Clooney, Lily Tomlin, and Amy Adams). But I think that may explain why those films got so much love in those years, he was just one of “their guys” at that time. Though I agree, American Hustle didn’t click with me when I saw it. And it doesn’t seem to have aged all that well either.

Lol Laura Dern is actually an inspired nom. Just because she doesn't have a lot of screen time and doesn't cry and scream into your face doesn't mean she was bad. She did take a paper thin character and created a haunting character which gives and helps Reese performance to have an emotionally punch. Subtle acting at its best. But Brian is not a fan of subtle performances. There are no small roles only small actresses.

Weaver definitely deserved her nomination for Animal Kingdom though. She was a real wicked woman in that crime drama.

As always, you make some great points. Adams's snub for Arrival was astounding. Leading into the Oscars, Arrival's chances of a Best Picture and Director nod were iffy, but Adams was supposed to be the sure thing, and then nada! I think Streep is good and I know a few people who think it is one of her best performances, but I am ambivalent about it. How cool for Rene Russo - one of the most underrated actresses of the last 25 years - to get some recognition. But alas - like her performance in The Thomas Crown Affair, it was not to be. I agree with your comments about the performances from Dern, Redmayne, Bates, and Rockwell. The Washington performance for that film is absurd - it is almost like they decided to just throw nominations at Washington just for stepping on screen. I love Theron, but agree wholeheartedly that her snub for Fury Road (like Adams, she should have been the sure thing for that film) and then getting a nod for the surface glitz nonsense of Bombshell playing a not particularly likable or interesting person is puzzling. I actually think Branagh's work is better than you give it credit for in My Week With Marilyn, although he is undoubtedly overshadowed by Williams. I also think you have underrated Weaver's work in Silver Linings Playbook because her role is not as flashy as the others. Honestly, when I saw the film I somehow knew she had a good shot at a nomination. I don't get your hatred of Cooper in American Hustle though. Honestly, going into Oscars seasons there were two sure people I knew would get nods that year and they were Cooper and Lawrence from that film. I was not surprised by Bale and Adams nominations, but the precursors did not make them a sure bet. I think both Cooper and Lawrence are both doing high caliber character work in that film, which is something marquee talents rarely get a crack at. In fact, outside of A Star Is Born, I would rank this as probably Cooper's best onscreen work - with Silver Linings close behind it.

Jennifer Lopez has another chance at an Oscar nomination, with Kiss of the Spider Woman.

Disagree about Laura Dern and "Wild." But I've always noticed the Oscars are suckers for roles in which the actor physically "transforms" their appearance, and your list reflects that.

No offense man, but you apparently don’t know much about acting. Have you ever acted, or taken an acting class, or taken a theater arts class? Do you know what character work is? Creating a character? It’s probably the most challenging thing about acting. Jacki Weaver was wonderful in Silver Linings Playbook. I was shocked to find out afterwards that she’s actually from Australia. She was soooo Philly. The run-of-the-mill performance from that movie that didn’t need to be there was actually Robert De Niro’s. Charlize Theron was so authentic as Megyn Kelly that I had to keep reminding myself that she wasn’t her. Eddie Redmayne’s portrayal in The Danish Girl was a thing of astonishing beauty. I haven’t seen the movie since it came out, and all these years later, I still remember the look in his eyes when he got his first kiss from a man, or rather when she. All the emotions and fear and elation from that life milestone played out in his eyes for just a couple of seconds. Actors strive to achieve tiny, authentic, moving effects like that in the moment. I think it’s his best performance. And Meryl Streep in Florence Foster Jenkins was absolutely hilarious. The scene where she’s singing the aria in the theater is one of the funniest moments in any movie I’ve ever seen. If there is a movie, she should not have been nominated for, it is as Music of the Heart, 1999. Not this one.

Part of me wants to believe Franco did get the nomination but there was a conspiracy that prevented it from happening cuz the Academy didn't want to deal with the backlash if they officially nominated Franco.

Regina King was ok for me but I don’t see why she swept all the awards for If Beale Street Could Talk. Emma Stone in La La Land, Bradley Cooper in everything, overrated for me.

For me the Showtime series with Russell Crowe was the far superior Fox "news"/ Roger Ailes biopic. I love Scarlett Johansen in JoJo but JLo definitely deserved a nod. She was incredible in that role.

Sounds like I'm in the minority, but I will die on the hill of Jackie Weaver deserving her nomination. Silver Linings was my introduction to her, and she blew me away. She's playing a character who has been sidelined for decades by bigger personalities and bigger problems, and she's like a live wire of repressed anxiety and exasperation, trying to keep her family in the realm of sanity--just like the actress herself grounds every scene she's in, more often than not through hilarious facial expressions and carriage rather than dialogue. In an era of "strong women" being dominant in the conversation (whether they're well-written or not), I love seeing more naturally timid or patient characters show their strength in more subtle ways. Mama bear, she may not be, but more than anyone else in the film, Jackie made me believe her character could be a real person. It's not an exceptional movie, but I had a similar response to Amy Adams' character in Big Eyes. The way she carried her anxiety in her body reminded me so much of my own mother's mannerisms.

Great insight - love the shout out to Amy Adams in Big Eyes

Hi from México 🇲🇽 im a new fan sorry my english not very good but i love your videos años help me to practice 🎉🎉

Academy voters just can't get enough of nominating actors for impersonating real life figures whether they deserve it or not and there are so many of them in the past few decades, particularly in the musical biopic genre, that are totally unwarranted.

I know. It’s so annoying. Want to win an Oscar: play a famous dead person.

I hated American Hustle. Unbearable to be honest. Nobody should have been nominated for anything

Alan Arkin's Oscar win for Little Miss Sunshine and his nomination for Argo still pisses me off to this day!

I think you missed a mile on Florence Foster Jenkins. I thought she was delightful in it. What was that Amy Adams movie you mentioned?

If “Vice” was gonna get a supporting actor nomination, it should’ve been for Steve Carell

Bombshell. Not much of a story??????? What? There was a great story, the movie may not captured it or presented it to your liking, but there was a story.

Thank you for acknowledging Jennifer Lopez’s snub for Hustlers.

Don’t really get why Jennifer Lawrence won for silver linings playbook…

JLO was really good in Hustlers and should have received a nomination

they were just making up for not nominating Laura for Jurassic park back in the day. 😹 Yeah why didn’t the guy who played Richard jewell get a nom

Dern was better in 99 Homes than Wild, but I don't remember if they were released the same year.

My Top 10 Worst Oscar nominations of the 2010's 1. Meryl Streep for Best Actress (Florence Foster Jenkins) 2. Eddie Redmayne for Best Actor (The Danish Girl) 3. Robert Duvall for Best Supporting Actor (The Judge) 4. Max Von Sydow for Best Supporting Actor (Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close) 5. Ruth Negga for Best Actress (Loving) 6. Jackie Weaver for Best Supporting Actress (Silver Linings Playbook) 7. Sam Rockwell for Best Supporting Actor (Vice) 8. Denzel Washington for Best Actor (Roman J. Israel, Esq.) 9. Charlize Theron for Best Actress (Bombshell) 10.Bradley Cooper for Best Supporting Actor (American Hustle)

Idk why it was one of the frontrunners like gravity and 12 years slave but glad the latter won instead

I can’t believe you think JLO should’ve gotten an Oscar nomination. Give me a break 🤣💀

22:54 I think Meryl Streep should have been nominated for Plenty. She was so slick in a movie that is so full of mysterus nuances. Another movies tat sesudave been nominated was Calling In Love with Robert de Niro. It speaks of how a casual acqarace can tur iito blossoming girl boy reatosp ta dersettifteUited Staesite 80s. Very rrfreging role for Meryl Streep. Something like a breakout

I agree with most of your choices, and while I don't want to suggest all of Meryl's nominations are award-worthy, I would commend 'Florence,' knowing as a singer myself how genuinely hard it is to sing off-key and badly when you are naturally gifted in voice as Meryl is. Her nom for 'Into the Woods is even worse...

I disagree with you on kathy bates. She did amazing in Richard Jewell

15:30 it felt like the whole novelty of “oh Lawrence Oliver starred and directed all those Shakespeare movies in the ‘40s and ‘50s and then Branagh did the same thing in the ‘80s and ‘90s and now he’s playing Oliver so cool” got him the nom

I liked Vice and Bombshell more than most people so I'm fine with the acting noms from those films. The makeup jobs were truly excellent and deservedly won. In 2017, Denzel was the safe better option for that last best actor slot cause there was no one else plus James Franco clearly was not getting in cause of the allegations. Let's be honest, the Academy were never gonna take JLo seriously and that Kathy Bates nom was absolutely deserving. And I don't get the Eddie Redmayne hate still, it's nowhere near cringe and actually very affecting.

Christian Bale was great as Cheney and deserved his nomination. But Rockwell's made me go "what? Really?"

I did prefer Dern in Little Women over Marriage Story.

Laura Dern was phenomenal IMO

coming out as a florence foster jenkins defender. early teenager men watched that movie alone in bed on a hot summer day and i was SOBBING

Renee Zellweger for Judy is a stretch for a nomination but for an all out win? WRETCHED!

Denzel only got in that year because of James Franco’s #metoo incident… it was Oldman vs Franco that year up until that lady called out Franco for harassment

Defending Your Life is the title of the Albert Brooks film.

Oh my god, I'm so with you on those, especially circa 2013-2016 Oscar seasons. The snobs you mentioned(BlackMass, Arrival, MadMax, 45 years, Exmachina...) was the reasons I eventually realize Oscar was just a game that was not all about good craftsmanship and gave up on following Oscar. I would also wish Annette Bening got nominated for 20century women in best actress in a leading role and even win

Even Meryl as nominees were announced on stage made a face that said it all...WHY AM I HERE TONIGHT?

I agree with BOMBSHELL. I was excited cause it was directed by Jay Roach. Cause he did GAME CHANGE with Jullianne Moore as Sarah Palin. And nobody should call that a impersonation. But BOMBSHELL did nothing & felt people in costumes. There were times I thought the tone was very oddly weird for me, times I thought there was weird black comedy undertones in it. I always felt the Academy gave recognition cause of the Post Me Too/Weinstein & maybe Academy wanted to do some reckoning over that.

Kidman wasn't in the running for the Hours because she wore a prosthetic nose yet Theron (for me a crap actress) gets nominated for Bombshell wearing lots of prosthetics ? Really ?

Richard Jewell is not a mediocre movie, it's a fantastic movie that was unluckily released in one of the best cinema years in history. A year before it would have got Best Picture and Best Actor easily.

Alex Wolf definitely deserved a nomination for "Hereditary". Same as Toni Colette.

Amy Adams and Albert Brooks exclusions are truly baffling. Both are career bests, as are Jake Gyllenhaal and Renee Russo. All 4 performances are Oscar worthy wins, not just nominations. The Academy kind of sucks

Bradley Cooper is the best part of American Hustle, imo. His sweaty, manic energy works perfect for that character and plays against type.

Judy Dench getting the best supporting actress nomination instead of Catríona Balfe for Belfast. Hands-down. Such a snub.

I'm glad someone else said Laura dern's win for the marriage story is not great. I am not a fan of that win either.

There are moments watching this where I begin to argue. I think, “Rockwell wasn’t that bad in Vice,” Then I hear the snubbed examples. Now I’m mad about it as well.

Great narrative and agreed to those choices. Rockwell should’ve been nominated for The Green Mile. Linda Blair over Tatum O’Neil on a movie no ones remember Paper Moon

I think it was Michael Caine who once stated that it isn't the performance that wins an Oscar, it is the role that wins the Oscar. This also seems to be true of nominations.

I would have taken out all the Vice nominations it’s for makeup . When I finally saw it I was shocked there was so much Oscar buzz about it.

I think a lot of voters liked the idea of well-known actors mocking politicians that they don't like, they probably saw it as their way of taking a shot at Bush. Activism is fine, go ahead and speak up about politics on social media if you wish, but don't deny a more deserving actor of an Oscar nomination.

First time I don't agree with you re: most of these 10! I do agree about JLo and Meryl. I do agree that I forgot Laura Dern was in WILD! I liked BOMBSHELL more than you did. Didn't like Nicole Kidman in that film. One I would add would be Florence Pugh.

Florence Pugh should have won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar instead of Laura Dern at the 2020 awards ceremony in my opinion.

to be fair...why did AMERICAN HUSTLE get ANY nominations? what a chore to watch!

Normally I agree with you, but you lost me with this video! Charlize Theron became Megyn Kelly in Bombshell and not only deserved the nomination but should have won over Renee Zellweger's horrid impersonation of Judy Garland, and I adored the film American Hustle, it was my favorite from that year! I do agree with Denzel only getting nominated because they needed to fill a spot, but you failed to mention James Franco who was a shoo in until allegations surfaced about him and I also agree about Laura Dern and Kathy Bates, Jennifer Lopez was robbed!
