I'm not debating, just drawing a blank....to perpetuate conversation
Sometimes your rational side gets the better of you, Pale.

Sometimes your rational side gets the better of you, Pale.
Pale Horse said:With Tom Hardy in the Revenant, Sly Stalone in Creed
as well as Ruffalo, Bale and Elba and Rylance? (in films I've yet to see)
Not a snowballs chance in Hell.
Moedred said:I think Ford's work ethic after nearly dying twice, plus great reviews for Age of Adalaine, could win favor from fellow actors. Not to mention being one of the last male actors of any age who can put warm bodies in seats on a grand scale.
Pale Horse said:I've seen none of the films this year. I'll weigh in later with my picks. Thoughts? Fellow Raven Hollywood Luddites?
Joe Brody said:. . .that's equally applicable to diversity in the nominations.
So hilarious you waited until after the nominations to laugh. Stallone is favored in the "overdue" category and DiCaprio will win for enduring the elements. Harrison was out-Harrisoned... this year.Le Saboteur said:That's the funniest thing I've read all day.

Pale Horse said:Bridge of Spies will take it.
Le Saboteur said:The real exercise is what performance by an actor or actress of non-Northern European ancestry gave such a commanding performance that you'd objectively swap out one of the current nominations?
Le Saboteur said:Bold statement: Michael Pena in Ant-Man. I'd dump Stallane, Bale, or Ruffalo.

Pale Horse said:After I see Spies, Spotlight, Short and Joy I might revise this.
Pale Horse said:I wish our other insiders would weigh in.
Dr. Gonzo said:I feel you poking me with that stick (but insider is hardly the word I would use)
Don't have much time to type at the moment but I will say
I think Charlie Kaufman's "Anomalisa" will beat "Inside Out" for best animated feature... why?
Because it's Charlie ****in' Kaufman and the Academy loves Charlie Kaufman.
(ie Eternal Sunshine, Adaptation, Being John Malkovich)
