Fassbender Got Hosed for Best Supporting Actor Last Year

Sure, Leto had a decent performance in Dallas Buyers Club. And I like Leto. But he shouldn't have won the Oscar. Especially in a year with a performance like Fassbender's in 12 Years a Slave. It was damn near perfect. The Academy really got this one wrong IMO. I can't help but believe that Leto got extra points for playing a transgender woman with AIDS.
Edit: Leto's performance was better than decent. It was good.

On the whole, though, that battle would be a toss up!

The Academy is extremely politically correct.

I agree with you in that I think Fassbender should have won, but I can't say Leto didn't deserve it. He really was fantastic in Dallas Buyers Club.

It was great.

Agreed. It was also hard to believe that the African girl in 12 years won best supporting actress. She had 1 good quick scene that she got to rehearse over and over... Anybody could do that. She barely spoke in the movie besides that one scene. J-Law deserved the Oscar (even though I hated AH).

Not when the character that was nominated is a cruel slave owner. Same reason why Leo got zero Oscar attention for his awesome performance in Django Unchained.

Uh, you know it's kind of subjective. Both were terrific, imo.
