he should've never won the Oscar. His win proves how "politically correct" and safe the academy really is.
shareIf he deserves it more than the other contenders he must win it.His portrayal looks groundbreaking even from the trailer...!
shareWhat are you talking about?
shareWhat do you mean? I hope you're referring to the correct performance because his turn in Theory of Everything is one of the most deserving wins in years, certainly last year. Just out of curiosity, who do you think was more deserving to win Best Actor last year? Certainly not Benedict Cumberbatch since you're complaining of 'political correctness' so I'm sure that if Benedict won you'd really be pissed then.
shareIMHO, the two best performances from a male actor in 2014 were:
JK Simmons (Whiplash)
Brendan Gleeson (Calvary)
Neither were in the running and of those that were ER had the strongest performance. This year should be interesting,I'm hedging on Leo (The Revenant), Tom Hardy (Legend) and Idris Elba (Beasts of no Nation) to give him competition.
Of course my heart wants "the most interesting man in the world" Demian Bichir to be in the running. But he only has a supporting role in Quentin Tarantion's The Hateful 8.
