2020 seemed to be filled with Oscar snubs and the Beat Actor had a few from Adam Sandler to Leo DiCaprio. I was pissed off this year because I hated who won the Best Actor and this is which I am speaking about.
1. JOAQUIN PHOENIX IN JOKER
I was looking forward to this movie and Joaquin Phoenix’s portrayal of this iconic villain but I ended up being really irritated by his acting and hated this movie. I found he was acting it way too much and his own issues with sanity was coming forward because, let’s face it, Joaquin is quite an odd person. I didn’t like this film because of the writing too. They show this insane person kill and he, at the end, is eulogized by the people, which is gross. There were so many others that were better than him because you couldn’t see them act. Joaquin kept throwing it in my face at how well he is acting and feels he is better than Heath Ledger…which he is not. Just think how Heath would have been in this film.
2. ADAM DRIVER IN THE MARRIAGE STORY
This is a great story about 2 people, successful, but their marriage is faltering. We see the demise of their love as we see their work flourish. He is a successful theatre director and his wife acts in his plays but she has now been given the ability to act in TV. We see them fight for their child and lawyers get involved who are the only winners. This is a well acted film and you feel for the characters. Adam is excellent in this film and you feel for both. He was nominated but didn’t win and I would have been happy if he did.
3. TARON EGERTON IN ROCKETMAN
Taron nailed it as Elton John and you believed him to be Elton. I had no idea how brilliant Elton was when he was so young and this actor showed this man’s complexity so well. You believe the actor and I feel he should have won the Oscar because you believe in him and do not question anything he does. He deserved to win but he wasn’t even nominated. I just don’t understand why.
So do you agree with me or would you choose another actor?
I have to say one thing….i am a proud Canadian and I will fight to remain Canadian. No person would like to be bullied, cajoled and threatened when we have always have been an Ally. I bet Americans would not like being bullied and threatened if the shoe was on the other foot. So Resident Rump can go to the place that never cools. I Am CANADIAN!
49% of American voters chose a bully, a misogynist, a mentally impaired individual. I fear for my country and my family.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any of these films, but the Marriage Story seems interesting.
I did not vote for that horrible man and he does not represent my beliefs. His comments about Canada are insane. He is mentally ill and I am terrified by his return to the presidency. I have never understood how people can be stupid enough to vote for him--not the first time, the second time, and certainly not the third time. He's an embarrassment to our country. Having said that, I also did not care for Joaquin Phoenix in Joker. For me, Heath Ledger is the Joker and no one can ever take Heath Ledger's place.

He and his twittery sidekick are appalling and terrifying. They are coming after us too in different ways. I’m afraid for the whole world not just America.
