That's not for Best Actor. It's for Best Supporting Actor.
Shooting stuff on screen for fun isn't the same as holding a villain in high regard, enough to duplicate his actions/way of thinking in real life situations which is what immature minds would do. "Oh it's cool to be like Deadpool. Imma gonna pull my dick out in public and laugh my ass off at the look on everyone's faces!".
Still don't understand what I said to deviate the conversation away from the original point. All I said was, villains are unlikable in general despite their performances. Weird if they win the Best Actor award (meaning none of the protagonists in the other nominated movies were up to snuff so there was nothing to do but choose the perfectly portrayed villain).
I enjoy his personality wayyy more than his actions. He exudes confidence. I like what I see in him coz I lack it in my own person. Yes, I know he's the villain that's why him winning Best Actor seems improbable to me.
Do you think anyone plays these roles because they really want to? Given the choice between protagonist and antagonist, a normal person would obviously want to be remembered as the hero. The decision to choose the role of the antagonist may be based on many factors, like amount of work (maybe the villain is paid a lot more for lesser screen time and the job is "easy" compared to all the effort that the protagonist has to go through like training and bulking up for the role etc.), to make their career seem more diverse (actor A has pigeonholed himself for playing the good guy always. actor A is not happy about that. he wants to show his acting has "range") and plain boredom (what? winning and falling in love with the girl again? nah. I wanna rape the girl this time!).
Joker 2019For Best Supporting Actor
This is weird, for she won Best Actress (I don't remember her role despite having seen that movie. Didn't leave an impression on me). Must be really crappy actresses nominated against her. Still, despite this being a good example refuting my point, it doesn't falsify my notion that villains winning Best Actor/Actress is improbable. If this were so important a role, there would be a Best Villain award.
In September 2019, Joker was awarded the Golden Lion, the festival's highest prize, at the 76th Venice International Film Festival.[216] At the 92nd Academy Awards, the film won the Best Actor (Phoenix) and Best Original Score awards. It received overall eleven nominations (including Best Picture) from the ceremony, breaking the record of eight held by The Dark Knight
i did not like it. I had watched it once less than half, and i the point where i shut it off is where the two vampire girls casually walk in the sun.When I watched it at the time, I thought it was a refreshing take on the vampire genre: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1531901/reference/
Dunno if I would still like it.
i finally watched Underworld - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0320691/reference/
...
Also, it's all blue.
Oh my. I loved that movie. Mom parked my a$$ at the theater one afternoon with some friends. We watched it at least twice. Sutherland was wonderful as Oddball. He just died recently June 20th. Respect.i watched Kelly's Heroes - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065938/reference/
a film which, i understand, has somewhat of a cult status in the US.
I needed to watch this in primis because of constantly being reminded about what great character is Oddball; and, he's ok. But he's no Gomer Pyle or Sgt Hartman.
As a comedy, it's mildly funny. I actually liked it more as a war movie, because the character behave reasonably, instead of heroically. The sets are also awesome.
Overall, it's a good film, but it's not particularly memorable.
6.5/10

Of course it's not a comedy in any classic sense, imagine pitching Stalin-era Soviet politics and the deaths of millions as a comedy!i watched again The Death Of Stalin - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4686844/reference/
which i had initially reviewed here: http://www.portvapes.co.uk/?id=Latest-exam-1Z0-876-Dumps&exid=thread...-and-give-a-10.2178406/page-738#post-39854130
.. i gotta say, i maybe liked it even less than i did before.
We've all seen the scene of the coup, which is by far the best scene in the entire film, but the rest of the film is at best lukewarm.
First problem, is that there is no indication at all that this film is a comedy, in any way. The initial - long - scene of the concert is played straight, and what i can recognize at attempts at comedy after repeat watchings, simply look like mis-castings of american actors who can't keep the tone.
And this really is a major problem for the entire runtime of the film. Only when Jason Isaacs / General Zhukov shows up, that the film becomes more of a straightforward black comedy .. if you can tolerate the brutal execution of Beria, ha ha murder is fun. And that's the last 15 minutes of film.
All the actors have done a good job, but it was just a bad recipe that was never going to work. The tone does not work with a long film that requires a serious mood to show the stakes that the characters have, but at the same time trying to slip in some jokes. For instance, if you know some history, Stalin had a son that, in Stalin's own words, was a loser. After the son tried - and failed - to commit suicide, Stalin said "he can't even shoot straight".
So this scene has the son trying to make a big fuss during the funeral, but from a political perspective he is a zero; he tries to grab a soldier's gun, but is too weak, and just struggles with the soldier .. for, like, thirty seconds.
This is literally the family guy "peter hurts his knee" joke.
yeah, it's not good. It's well made, but it's not good. It's like a high quality shit sandwich.
My revised vote: 5.5/10
