Viola Davis was a leading lady in that movie. Putting herself up as supporting is kind of a cheat.

Hugh Grant tried the same thing but didn't get his expected nod.

How to get away with putting yourself in a less competitive category.

This video of Viola and her over the top persona cracks me up.

After seeing La La Land, I knew it would be a huge contender. It's the type of film that the Academy dreams about. It will take quite a few of them. Emma Stone even has a real shot, even though Ryan Gosling was better and he has no shot.

The biggest surprise for me was the Amy Adams snub and the Mel Gibson nomination. I didn't think Hollywood had it in them to forgive him.

Casey Affleck completely deserves the win. I was really happy for Lucas Hedges. Often times unknown supporting actors are overlooked (Jacob Tremblay for Room). I look forward to seeing him in an off Broadway show in a couple weeks.

I agree that Viola's role was definitely lead, but I really don't think the actors themselves have a say in which category they are nominated. Out of the nominees, Viola probably deserves it the most even though Michelle Williams is far and away my favorite in the category.

I actually have never seen any of the movies this year, this is just based on what I have read.

I think may Michelle Williams could be an upset though like when Sylvester Stallone was supposed to get best supporting actor and it went to Mark Rylance for Bridge of Spies. Sometimes being overly hyped doesn't pay off. I remember some obscure actress named Meryl Streep winning over Viola Davis for lead actress when she was the expected winner for The Help which ironically was seen as more of a supporting category.

At any rate it is a very competitive race this year.

I'd be thrilled with an upset just because of how much I love Michelle. It's just that Viola's performance was much more substantial and she had a lot more material to work with, so it would be a shock.

If Viola loses to Michelle she can console herself with the Tony she won for the part. If she wins the Oscar and then gets a Grammy eventually she will be an EGOT!

I am frankly surprised Denzel was nominated for lead actor. A lot of people thought he overacted the part too much. He didn't get best director nod but Fences did get a best picture nomination. So he shouldn't be too upset today.

I was happy for Nicole Kidman but dissappointed for Taraji P. Henson. I heard great things about her performance from my brother.

I really need to get out and see a movie once and awhile.

I've been reading that there is some controversy going on regarding Casey Affleck's OSCAR nomination.

He settled out of court with 2 female crew members from his film I'm Still Here in 2010 after they said he "encouraged a nearly daily barrage of sexual comments, innuendo and unwelcome advances by crew members."

"Fresh Off the Boat's" Constance Wu is one actress who is openly bashing Affleck on her Twitter: https://twitter.com/ConstanceWu

No The Greasy Strangler?! Oscars rigged again.

Denzel was definitely good in the role but it wasn't an Oscar worthy performance.

Taraji was also really good, but unfortunately for her, it was a really competitive category this year that even had a snub in it.

Taraji is such a versatile performer. Her OSCAR moment will come in time.

Did that have Gary Busey in it?

No, Busey. It's a cheesy over the top silly offensive non-PC movie from 2016. It's easily in my Top 5 movies released that year. I can't even share the trailer on here!

Interesting.

By today's nominations it seems that Mel Gibson has been "forgiven" for his scandalous behavior so I guess that applies to Affleck too.

Why do some men have to act like such beasts?

Bill Cosby's trial is coming up in June. I wonder what will happen there.

Now you have me intrigued, Matt Torgo!
