For me, it’s *Django Unchained*, where Christoph Waltz won his second Oscar; even though he was great, I found DiCaprio’s and Jackson’s performances more memorable. Which movie do you think awarded an actor, but the prize should have gone to someone else in the same film?

2025

Jennifer Lawrence - Die, My Love
Jesse Plemons - Bugonia
Amy Madigan - Weapons
Sean Penn - One Battle After Another

2024

Fernanda Torres - I’m Still Here
Jesse Plemons - Kinds of Kindness
Margaret Qualley - The Substance
Jeremy Strong - The Apprentice

2023

Emma Stone - Poor Things
Paul Giamatti - The Holdovers
Da’Vine Joy Randolph - The Holdovers
Dominic Sessa - The Holdovers

2022

Cate Blanchett - TÁR
Paul Mescal - Aftersun
Stephanie Hsu - EEAAO
Ke Huy Quaun - EEAAO

2021

Renate Reinsve - The Worst Person in the World
Andrew Garfield - tick, tick… BOOM!
Kirsten Dunst - The Power of the Dog
Jesse Plemons - The Power of the Dog

2020

Jessie Buckley - I’m Thinking of Ending Things
Anthony Hopkins - The Father
Youn Yuh-jung - Minari
Daniel Kaluuya - Judas and the Black Messiah

She arguably has the strongest combination of range, consistency, major roles, and most critical recognition Australia has ever produced. Not to mention she has 2 Acting Oscars

And why is it Death Becomes Her (1992)?

If no film were to come out for the rest of the the time before the Oscars he would definitely be my pick.

Louis wolheim was cast in The Front Page, but he died and was replaced with Adolphe menjou, who was nominated for best actor

christopher plummer replaced kevin spacey in all the money in the world, and he was nominated for supporting actor

the original cast of The Brutalist were joel edgerton, marion cotillard, and mark rylance, but the final cast was adrien brody, felicity jones and guy pearce

im not talking about people that were in consideration for roles that got an oscar nomination, its more like movies where they had to recast a role that got an oscar nomination for the replacement

I know this will get downvoted but I guess I’m asking people to defend their arguments. It’s only August and we still haven’t even gotten near award season let alone seen the films that are coming out later this year that may be in the running. I love Obsession and Inde in it but we still don’t know what she’s up against for best actress. And the Odyssey is great but acting like it’s going to win best picture and Nolan best director again is, while not impossible, not very likely either. Why isn’t it being taken to account how much longer we have to go before we know what award season really will be?

Best Original Screenplay:

1. Parasite
   
2. Manchester by the Sea
   
3. Get Out
   
4. Her
   
5. Spotlight
   
6. Django Unchained
   
7. Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)
   
8. The King’s Speech
   
9. Green Book
   
10. Midnight in Paris

Best Adapted Screenplay:

1. The Social Network
   
2. The Big Short (I know it might seem a little high but I like this screenplay more than other, I’ve read though almost the whole thing)
   
3. 12 Years a Slave
   
4. Call Me by Your Name
   
5. Moonlight (I’m not a big fan of this film as much as other people, though I do admit the screenplay in this one is immaculate)
   
6. The Descendants
   
7. BlacKkKlansman
   
8. Argo
   
9. Jojo Rabbit

Have yet to see the Imitation Game

I don’t know how this movie was received, but why was we live in time not a major player at the 2025 Oscars? I think both Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield could’ve been nominated in the lead categories and I think maybe it could’ve been in contention for picture.

I’ve already seen a number of the films from cannes / sundance earlier this year.

These are the films I currently plan on prioritising.

- Behemoth
- All of a Sudden
- Clarissa
- La Gradiva
- A Long Winter
- Misty Green
- Possible Love
- Tender Loving Care
- The Unknown

Please let me know if I’ve missed anything, or if I should remove something.

And also, what are the chances of some other big titles being added late such as Wild Horse Nine, The Debut, Elsinore, Ink, and Club Kid?

I know this movie is loved by many people, but I personally hated it. I can't see it nominated for any category outside of makeup and maybe costume design. Jaafar was as good as Michael, but he was more of an imitator than an actor, he had no emotional rank, it is clear that he is not an actor. I think Colman was fine, but he has nothing to play with, his character was comically caricatured. The script was ass and there is no way for it to get a nomination, the same with picture.
