Cannot believe Hiddleston wasnt nominated for an Oscar

His screen presence and ability to lose himself in the role of Loki should have gained him A NOMINATION as Best Supporting Actor

I know Superhero movies are usually ignored by the Academy, but Hiddleston does to Loki what Ledger did to Joker

I didnt expect Tom Hiddleston to win, but a nomination would have gone a long way not only for his career but for gifted young actors in general

I am disappointed to say the least

He is a great Loki. I can't think of anyone who would be better, can anyone else?

Will you even watch the Oscar telecast tonight?

I may because I saw a commercial about the theme of the show being heroes. They showed clips of The Avengers.

As it turns out, that was true: at least two anonymous members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences apparently never saw Steve McQueen's eventual Best Picture winner, this despite placing the film atop their Oscar ballots.

But they said they voted for it anyway because, given the film's social relevance, they felt obligated to do so."

...because of its content and subject matter. That was confirmed by one anonymous voter in interview with The Hollywood Reporter. The woman said she didn't watch "12 Years a Slave" because she didn't want "more terrible stuff to keep in my head." Said the voter, who self-identified as a senior: "I have never liked movies that have severe violence."

So you have ever wondered if this really happens? You bet it does. Interesting to imagine all the implications here in past BP wins.

Oscar day is rolling around once again. Still not going to watch it.

[–] Dash1969 11 years ago

At least Thor was showed a few times in Oscar's tribute to heroes. That was the best part of the whole show so far.

You can't be serious.

[–] assman200 11 years ago

Well, I'm serious.

At least you didn't call me Shirley.

He will eventually. Give him time.

Not for Loki, I mean, but Hiddleston will have the small acclaimed independent niche market as his oyster. He's built for those roles. He was just nominated for a best actor Olivier award (The UK version of a Tony) for Coriolanus.

I know Hiddleston will be nominated someday, but not for Loki, is what I meant (and like you said).

[–] glass_hopper 11 years ago

Agreed.

[–] SloberDon 11 years ago

He's such a great actor that I have no doubt he will win for something.

[–] Logan8888 11 years ago

That's all you need to know about Loki.

[–] glasha-1 11 years ago

And I cannot believe you are serious. And that's coming from Tom Hiddleston's fan. He was good as always, but no near Oscar-worthy.

He'll get nominated next time. You'll see.

[–] assman200 11 years ago

Hiddleston and others comes through the camera with an Oscar caliber performance, this is not just another action flick.

The reason he didn't get an Oscar nomination, is probably because the stories in the MCU needs far more dept and more realistic dialogue. The reason why movies like The Wolf of Wall street, Dallas buyers club, The Dark Knight etc. gets nominated for non special effect related oscars, is because of an insane dept to the storyline, and because they stand out from the crowd, and because of believeable dialogue. Dont get me wrong, i enjoyed the film, and i like the MCU but the actors has very little to work with, and at times it just seems that they are coming up with a lot of bullsh#t as the story goes. But then again if they want oscars for more than special effects they need to pull their fingers out of their asses and give their stories far more dept, more realistic dialogue and focus more on storyline than special effects, if ever hoping on winning an oscar for Best actor, best actress, best supporting actor, best motion picture, best achievement in directing, best writing etc.

Marvel are not interested in Oscars for Best Actor or Best Pictures. They are careful what actors they cast because they know a good actor sometimes can save a bad movie.
But their movies can make an actor popular like it happened with Chris and Tom and if the actor is good enough he can star in Oscar-worthy pictures.

[–] RightPalmOfMaedhros 11 years ago

TWoWS and TDK were not the deepest films out there, you know? Sure they had WAY more underlying themes than T:TDW but don't overreact about their insane depth.

I agree, however, that if the movie as a whole is better put together, then the rewards for good performances are more likely to happen. A great performance of one actor can be overlooked if the whole movie is trash. Because then it's just a jewel in a mud and seems unfitting all-together.

TDKR had no themes whatsoever.

Ledger's Joker was one dimensional however. Loki is a far more complex character.

So very very true.
