Fraser Wins Best Actor


About fucking time the right person won after a bunch of bullshit like Curtis, Ke Huy, Women Talking, Pinocchio, etc won. Fraser was by far the best and Kurt Russell was a much better Elvis than Butler

Haven’t seen The Whale. Not sure I want to. BUT, I think Brendan Fraser is a genuinely good guy, so I’m glad he won!

reply

Well deserved. I'm glad he won.

reply

YES!!! He sure as hell deserved it.

reply

So pleased for him.

reply

Kinda strange to see him win an Oscar, I've never been that impressed with his acting skills. However, I haven't seen TW, so maybe he was really good in it.

reply

Haven't you ever seen his other Oscar winning (for screenplay) "Whale" movie?? His acting was top-notch in that as well.

reply

TW is his only Oscar win. What film are you referring to?

reply

Gods and Monsters. I said it's an Oscar winning movie for screenplay. He was at his physical and acting peak at the time.

reply

Nope, I haven't seen this film but I might check it out. I don't dislike Fraser but in my view, most of the films I've seen him in, his performances have been less than stellar.

reply

YES...GODS AND MONSTERS WAS EXCEPTIONAL.

reply

ok, I will look into it.

reply

I highly recommend it. πŸ‘πŸ‘

reply

Fair enough, I will have to look around for it. Looks like it's free right now on Tubi and a few others. I hate watching ads though. I might rent it on Prime.

reply

I've only seen that movie once, a long time ago. But I remember I liked it. Nice 'Whale' connection, btw πŸ‘

reply

I'm surprised nobody else came up with it. Every time I heard the movie talked about on TV, every time I saw the movie talked about on here, and not one person mentioned Gods and Monsters. I was very surprised.

reply

Makes me wonder if it's occurred to Fraser!

reply

I'm sure it has. It would've been cool to hear him say yeah, this is my second dramatic Whale movie lol.

reply

Good for him!!!! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

reply

Congrats to Mr. Fraser, on his win and his comeback!

And I KNEW he'd win, same for Yeoh. I wish I knew where I could place bets on the Oscars.

reply

Genuinely happy for the guy. So well deserved.
