[Henry Gale]

Can we bring back Best Song because I was really want to nominate all of Popstar's songs.

Seriously. And not just Popstar, between it, La La Land, Moana, Sing Street and the dozens of Sia songs from end credits this year, the category actually really makes sense again.

[Morris Schæffer]

The writers guild awards nominated Deadpool for best adapted screenplay.

[baby doll]

Oh, you.

In its simplest form... acting is nothing more than the transposition of everyday behavior into a theatrical realm. [...] In daily activity we constitute ourselves rather like dramatic characters, making use of our voices, our bodies, our gestures and costumes, oscillating between deeply ingrained, habitual acts (our "true mask") and acts we more or less consciously adopt to attain jobs, mates, or power. There is no question of breaking through this condition to arrive at some unstaged, unimitated essence, because our selves are determined by our social relations and because the very nature of communication requires us, like Prufrock, to put on a face to meet the faces we meet. Hence Lee Strasberg's notion that the stage actor does not need to "imitate a human being" is at one level entirely correct: to become "human" in the first place we put on an act. (Acting in the Cinema, 21-22)

There isn't a single moment in the film when Anthony Weiner isn't acting.

[Ezee E]

The writers guild awards nominated Deadpool for best adapted screenplay.

hahahhaahahahha

[TGM]

The writers guild awards nominated Deadpool for best adapted screenplay.

[Watashi]

There isn't a single moment in the film when Anthony Weiner isn't acting.

Does that mean I can nominate OJ Simpson for Best Actor?

[Spinal]

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Ageliki Papoulia, The Lobster

Thanks for this. I had listed Léa Seydoux, but then realized that this is who I meant. Whoops.

Although Seydoux was just fine as well.

[baby doll]

Does that mean I can nominate OJ Simpson for Best Actor?

I haven't seen the OJ documentary but why not?

[baby doll]

Thanks for this. I had listed Léa Seydoux, but then realized that this is who I meant. Whoops.

Although Seydoux was just fine as well.

And I just realized that I misspelled her name (it's Angeliki, not Ageliki).

[Morris Schæffer]

I wasn't deriding the choice.

Ain't nothing wrong with awarding more commercial stuff. Not sure I agree with this particular one, but would have been cool if Die Hard had won the Oscar for best picture.

[Mysterious Dude]

Due to popular demand, the "best song" award has returned.

[Irish]

I'd like to nominate "Best Song" as this year's Best Category, please.

[Ezee E]

Best Song can stay away as I see it.
