FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Birdman was the right choice for performance by a cast at which everyone knew compared to the other movies who had one or two people you might know it in.
Eddie Redmayne beating out Michael Keaton, Jake Gyllenhaal, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Steve Carell seems a little farfetched honestly. I have watched Birdman, The Imitation Game, and Nightcrawler and I would have to say that Jake Gyllenhaal or Benedict Cumberbatch should have won this award honestly.
Jennifer Aniston in Cake should have won Female actor in a leading role, she plays such an amazing actress in this movie.
J.K. Simmons in Whiplash, by far one of the best supporting Male actors I have saw in a very long time. He brings this movie to an entirely different level and I love it.
Patricia Arquette in Boyhood, great choice. I honestly would have expected Meryl Streep in Into the Woods to win just because of name appeal.
Television really shocked me honestly, seeing Orange Is the New Black beating and House of Cards, which are both Netflix exclusive, beating out regular TV shows like Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Game of Throne, and True Detective just shows you where TV is going now days. It is just a change of the times, more people watch things on Netflix and HULU and stuff like that than TV now days. It’s just easier, less commercials, watch it at your speed, when you want to, have the ability to pause the shows.
Especially when you see Kevin Spacey (House of Cards) beating out Peter Dinklage, Woody Harrelson, and Matthew McConaughey… is just mind blowing to me.
Seeing Uzo Aduba (Orange Is the New Black) winning Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series, I have no words for that. She plays such an outstanding and amazing part, she completely transformed her role from season 1 to season 2. Her attitude, charisma, she becomes such an important part in this show and it really shows. She plays this role so great, you would expect her to be this role or person in real life just because it seems like that is just her personality, until you hear her in interviews and you’re just blown away.
I think Fury was snubbed for the Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture, just because of the actors that were needed to be in the stunts all together, where this movie took place, and how intense the stunts were. This movie took place in a damn tank, not a plastic green screen set… a fucking tank.
