Another Missed Nominee

// March 5th, 2010 // Random Movie Musings

It’s two days away from the Academy Awards and I have discovered another Oscar tragedy, and this one is just as huge as the other two. The first one mentioned before was Sharlto Copley. He didn’t get nominated for District 9 because he is a cameraman, and there is no way the Academy is going to award a cameraman with an acting nomination. I don’t think so. Second was Sam Rockwell. He wasn’t nominated for Moon because they didn’t have the money to campaign for it, and it wasn’t seen by enough people. Simple. This new Oscar tragedy that I have discovered is just like the Sam Rockwell situation. The third and acting snub of the year goes to…..Tom Hardy for Bronson. This movie is based on Britains most notorious inmate. The guy is a douche and the movie is decent, but Tom Hardy’s performance is the performance of a lifetime. I can’t believe how amazing his performance is and the fact that he completely got ignored. These three guys gave the three best performances of the year, hands down, and none of them are nominated! It’s a complete joke! Throw out Morgan Freeman and George Clooney for sure and replace them with any of these guys. I cannot believe that because these movies didn’t have enough money, the performances by the crew and actors is getting absolutely no attention. Tom Hardy definitely deserves a nomination and it’s sad that he gets nothing. That’s not true, I see a Justademy Award nomination in this guys future.
