Yes

Me too!

I'll do you one better, rank every oscar win for all four acting categories

Me too!

Eddie Redmayne for the “The Theory of Everything” is underrated as hell. People go on and on about how Michael Keaton should’ve won this year. But I don’t agree with that at all tbh. It baffles me how this win is seen as underserved.

I prefer Redmayne over Keaton any day

Exactly!

the academy HATES Gyllenhaal. IDK why or what he did, but man has been acting his ass off for years and never got a nom after Brokeback Mountain. they just seem to have some un favourites who always do great work like Amy Adams, it's definitely to some extent a popularity contest (not to say Eddie didn't do great he was wonderful in that film as I recall.)

Redmayne deserved his win hands down. However I agree that Ejiofor would’ve been an excellent winner.

They just be checking anything that’s what it’s giving 😂😂😂

A true crime

@@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719 yeah and he was robbed of a BAFTA Film Award as well for his role in Rocketman

I’m glad he has that gg win

@@gabrielcastaneda9700 yeah I'm glad he won that - but he was robbed of an Oscar and a BAFTA IMHO

He sooo got robbed

yeah, the way his sister even randomly won the Globe that night before him when they both were nominated

Hard agree

You ain’t wrong but I think he also should’ve been nominated/won for ‘Django’

@@RicG23 also hard agree

Amen! (Though I would probably have voted for Dern that year…one of the best lineups ever.)

He should've won for What's eating Gilbert Grape

I saw the movie a year ago, and I think he was incredible, DiCaprio was over the top in Wolf of Wall Street.

THIS

Honestly even though I feel Leo gave the better performance in WOWS I agree with you. His performance is one of my favorite lead male acting roles in a TV series. However he had to go up against an arguably better performance with Cranston for Breaking Bad. Which do you prefer if you have seen Breaking Bad?

@@zacharydornoff9758 Both are performances for the ages, but McConaghey has the edge, I fear….

@@JeffsGoldblum yeah I would say its super tough but I think I might lean Cranston but its a toss up.

I think it was mainly the two of them as the Oscar buzz that year, but McConaughey edged him out. I do think McConaughey deserved the win as he is great and spent the early 2010s digging himself out of the rom-com stamp he was labeled with at the time

It’s an unsettling performance & yeah his intensity lent well. It took a few tries (not as many attempts as Leo had), but he finally secured his trophy

@@LucyLioness100 it is interesting how two actors have portrayed the Joker now have Oscars.

​@@KaeMcSpaddenIt's a challenging role, the actors love that type of role.

Best Actress > Best Actor, and it's not even close

@@charles-edouardmorel3173 which is interesting, because Best Supporting Actor usually has much stronger winners than Best Supporting Actress

More interesting roles for men?) ​@@TheCatIndeed

You spouted a bunch of words. But didn't even mention by far Dujardin's best performance in legendary Hollywood director Roman Polanski's An Officer and a Spy.

Deerskin was a really great film- glad someone else has also seen it!

I think maybe Dujaden couldn't get rid of his accent, for he can get more roles in American films. Has he been in French movies instead. I just don't get why see The Artist there's plenty of silen movies out there. The dog was the best thing about it.

It's ok that Bale won the critics choice that's not so important..Rami won at Oscar.. Golden globe..SAG & Bafta..Rami recognize at Palm Spring

Rami’s win is one of the most undeserved ever… Also, many are biased against Dujardin’s win because he’s a foreign actor…

@gauravw6947 Think of all the great foreign actors, and they decide to, on one of the rare times, give the award to an actor who didn't do much of anything afterward.

Love your top 10. I would perhaps swap the first two , but very good indeed.

I agree with this person; . . . . AC; you got it wrong

Yep he seriously undermined it. That is a very HARD role to do, Eddie's remarkable transformation plus his facial expressions when he couldn't speak anymore were so good and sad. The guy even slightly dislocated his spine in his work so he absolutely was the right winner. Even the Oscar expert said it's a very good win and that people are just butthurt mad cause Keaton didn't win. But of course since it's a real life figure he's playing, the hate train begins...

Absolutely agree with this. It's very hard role to play it right. I still remember when I finish the movie that he very good in it.

Redmayne won only because it was an Oscar-bait performance… Definitely wasn’t the best of the year, not even the best amongst the nominees (Keaton was much better)…

at the end of the day tho no one really remembers the film or redmaybe, despite all the work to be disabled

And it could’ve been so good

So sad

Get over it! Rami rightfully won.

@sweetbutterbaby lol there's always ONE. I won't. Ever.

I suppose I would pick for me who did not win: 2010 - Jesse Eisenberg for Social Network 2011 - George Clooney for The Descendants 2012 - Hugh Jackman for Les Miserables 2013 - Chiwetel Ejiofor for 12 Years a Slave 2014 - Michael Keaton for Birdman 2015 - Michael Fassbender for Steve Jobs 2016 - Denzel Washington for Fences 2017 - Daniel Kaluuya for Get Out 2018 - Christian Bale for Vice 2019 - Leonardo DiCaprio for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

@@champreviewer5572 Great picks! 👍

@@jackbennersmoviereviews thanks here are my picks for other categories too for this decade.

For me 2017 is a tie between Chalamet or Kaluuya. Both incredible performances

PLEASEEEEE 2015 was such a weird ceremony

Tbh it’s not really hard to understand why. Lead Actor was extremely stacked that year. You also had Gyllenhal and Fiennes who also was snubbed that year. There just wasn’t any room for Oyelowo.

@@poett8875 true. but during that time, there was controversy that all the acting categories had ZERO people of color nominated.

​@@poett8875ppl will never get over that. Ralph Fiennes AND Jake deserved it more than David. But I would take out Carrell and redmayne to get those dudes in. Because of that stupid controversy, Octavia Spencer gets nominated every 6 years now.

I personally can't stand a movie which makes a hero out of a monster just because he's a white man

​@@Rash23215 Churchill being a hero or a monster is an endless debate, is the same thing with Oppenheimer but I hate that movie and Cillian's performance so, i think Oldman at least did a great job with a mid movie.

@@Rash23215 Personally I think you should get down off your pedestal and stop trying to make people feel guilty for enjoying a performance in a movie.

Same, I was hoping Hugh would win on his first (and currently only) nomination. However I’m not mad that DDL won his last Oscar as he is excellent in “Lincoln”

DDL was the third best for me, I think Joaquin and Denzel were better that year

He was probably right

Then he had sex in a Martin Scorsese movie 2 years later.

Christian Bale was terrific in Vice, should've won honestly.

Also as a longtime Queen fan, I thought Malek FAR from captured Mercury's spirit. He was so tentative and mousy, and Freddie was never mousy!

Great pick for the number one, Joaquin was amazing

Hard disagree

@@jims7383 And that's totally fine. 👍🏽😊

No

@@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719 🤷🏾‍♂️🤔

Affleck was the correct winner because of that emotional pain he went through in that movie was very hard for him to play that character.

💯

I don't know exactly on that level yet ,he wasn't bringing in money before dune or Wonka, it could be a Ryan gosling Barbie thing

No

Banderas is amazing, but there’s no way he and the fellow nominees were gonna beat Joaquin that year

​@@LucyLioness100 You're right, I've never seen so many actors praising a performance like they did with Joaquin Phoenix in Joker.

I think it's a better win than many give it credit for winning. You can't punish every winner for being the more obvious choice .Sometimes I get it but this one I thought was fair although I love Keaton .I would hope he gets another chance.

I will pick Redmayne any day of the week over Keaton

I agree with you

Tbh any actor could've played Keaton's role. But not many could've played Stephen Hawking as good as Redmayne did. It's on the same level as Daniel Day Lewis in My Left Foot.

@@navidhudson7065 Good point.

very Oscar baity!?!?! LOL… There wasn’t anything Oscar baity about his role and performance… He won purely on the merit of his highly superior performance…

​@@gauravw6947 Meh. All he did was brood. Two hours of brooding.

@@DrR0BERT LOL… That not what “Oscar baity” is… Also, if you think “all he did was brooding”, I’d say your knowledge on the art of acting and filmmaking is questionable…

@@gauravw6947 It's an opinion. I did not like his performance. Your opinion is different. So there is that. And I am knowledgeable about filmmaking; thank you for inquiring.

@@DrR0BERT LOL… I didn’t inquire, I explicitly stated that your knowledge on acting and filmmaking is questionable… Also, you can have your opinion and I can have opinion on your opinion… You don’t even know what “Oscar-bait” means…

How so??

Also, as much as I love the films of Paul Thomas Anderson and Martin Scorsese, I didn’t care much for The Master or The Wolf of Wall Street. You keep mentioning your high regard for those two films in several of your videos. I would like to see how you compare those two movies to the other films in the directors’ canons. Similar to your ranking of nominations for individual actors, I would love to see you rank the directors’ films and/or nominations. You may need to include Screenplay nominations in the case of PTA since he only has the three nominations for Best Director.

Damn they were no where near similar lol

I hate Cillian Murphy win 😂 I only saw one facial expression the whole movie, it doesn't help Oppenheimer wasn't a good movie imo

I still love the film, and I love his performance. I'd say its actually one of my fave best picture and actor wins ever

I agree in having loved the performance as well, especially for being so charismatic in a silent film. I also give a lot of respect to him and Marion Cotillard for prioritizing their film careers back home in France instead of Hollywood, as to explain to Brian’s curiosity why people in the USA don’t hear much from Jean Dujardin.

@@smann87 Yeah, here in France, most actors who pass over to Hollywood, get a breakthrough role, even end up winning an oscar (such as with Marion Cotillard and Juliette Binoche), generally get tired or simply don't want to work in Hollywood, and instead go back making films at home

Yes
