Was there any great performance by a non-white actor this year? I seriously don't know, but to automatically assume racist bias sounds a bit cheap imo.

Would be different if he suggested a non-white actor who deserved a nomination according to this guy.

Idris Elba in the supporting actor category I suppose. Can't recall anyone else.
Last year Bradley Cooper got the nomination over that dude who was in Selma. Bradley Fucking Cooper :lol2:

good buildup which hits out triggers developed over a lifetime of media 'programing', compounded by projections and identification with protagonist
:tup: One could argue though that a lifetime of media programming should work against suspense. They never kill the hero without him having finished what he is supposed to finish, even if he is chased by a dozen of armed men shooting at him. I agree with the bold part but I'm not sure if that's what's making me feel the suspense when i rewatch a suspenseful movie.

:tup:

Yeah the Samuel Jackson thing has been done too many times but i was really captivated in the story and loved a lot of the acting. It kind of felt like a cheap thrill for me just really enjoyable while knowing not to take it too seriously.

Cool. Maybe I was just sleepy :D
Was about to say that there are nights where im really in the mood for a film and whatever i watch i can enjoy. I watched 2 other movies the night i watcjed The Hateful Eight and enjoyed all of them.

Tonight i watched Sicario and wasnt really in the mood. I could tell that it was an excellent movie but i will definatly have to go back and watch it again to fully appreciate it. Same goes for The Revanent i was in a terrible mood for watching a movie of its type. I was watching it thinking "this is great why the fuck am i not enjoying this" :sergio:

Idris Elba and Michael B. Jordan are the only two that have been in serious consideration, and Elba probably the only one really close to a nomination. Abraham Attah should have been though.

Ohhhhh, ffs, fap worthy
:agree:

A Morricone documentary directed by Tornatore is the dream. :D

Too many loopholes for my liking.

I actually watched it a second time. :D I liked it better overall, even if I'm still not a huge fan of the second half.
Any why did they write Tatum's name in the opening credits? Would have been much better as a proper surprise.

I'd have hated it if the surprise was Tatum tbh. :D
