This is nonsensical. Argo won the Golden Globe, PGA, and Critic's Choice awards. It went up against Lincoln which is a film centered on a man who is widely considered the greatest president ever. Politics and such didn't play into the win. Argo was spectacular. The only movie that I thought was in the same ballpark was ZDT, and frankly, that movie dragged a bit. Quit with the hate on Ben Affleck.
This man gets it.

She has no business presenting the most prestigious award in the business. I would say the same thing is Laura Bush presented it.
What makes people really mad though is the fact that the Academy would have never asked Laura to do that.
Two POTUS (FDR and Reagan) also spoke at past Oscars (they didn't present, but this wasn't groundbreaking either).

I try to stay away but I just can't.
DDL was the odds on favorite to win the Oscar from the moment he was cast, regardless of Weebies citations of a couple of loser blogs. Day-Lewis won the Broadcast Film Critics Award (largest critics association in the U.S. and Canada), the BAFTA, Golden Globe and other substantial recognition for his performance prior to winning the Oscar. I know of no truly knowledgeable and credible observer/writer/oddsmaker that didn't have him as the odds on favorite. A lot of people lauded Phoenix's performance, and rightly so. But this was Day-Lewis' year.
The Master had three outstanding performances in a dreadfully unsuccessful mess of a movie.
I also continue to be amazed at the overstating of the "agenda" in Hollywood. The "agenda" is primarily money, not politics.
And the butthurt some people have over Michelle Obama is laughably pathetic. WTF?

Day-Lewis is getting to the Meryl Streep/Katharine Hepburn stage where they're getting Oscar wins/nominations just for showing up. Hepburn and Streep are both great actresses but Streep isn't so incredible that she deserved 17 Oscar nominations and Hepburn shouldn't have twice as many Best Lead Actress Oscars as everybody else. I mean, Best Lead Actress Oscar nominations for Music of the Heart and The Devil Wears Prada? Really? Are you kidding me?
this.
DDL's next film (in 2021) could be him shitting on a toilet and staring at the wall for 3 and a half hours and they would bow down and worship his feces.

Day-Lewis is unlike most Hollywood actors who continue to make film after film to earn a paycheck. He makes like one movie every 2-3 years and he puts his all into the characters he plays. He has earned his accolades.
He's made 11 films in 24 years.

I'm just going to have to accept the fact that TD is pretty conservative.
Plus, having lived in L.A. and having to work with some of those people sort of anesthetized me to the more obnoxious assholes.

Did anyone catch the Onion tweet that has everyone pissed off? I mean, it's the fricking Onion. Are they expecting some kind of dignified tweets?

The current First Lady is a black liberal. That makes all the difference in the world up in here.

Stanley Kubrick directed 13 feature films in 46 years and I don't remember the Academy giving him an Oscar every time he decided to make a movie. In fact, Kubrick never won an Oscar for Best Director. Why didn't the Academy shower him with one-tenth the love that they give to DDL?

5 years ago I may have been pissed by Michelle Obama presenting the award for Best Picture.

People turned off their TVs because Michelle Obama announced the winner of an award.

It's a crime that Looper didn't get nominated for ANY categories. Even though it had some well-known actors like JGL and Bruce Willis, I guess it wasn't big enough for Hollywood. With the exception of Beasts of the Southern Wild, all of the other nominated movies had either all-star casts or really established directors. Looper doesn't fit into either category. Too bad. Looper is way more rewatchable than Argo.
Argo was good but this man knows what he is talking about. Looper got snubbed big time this year along with JGL.

Daniel Day-Lewis has acted in 28 films since 1971. He was nominated for 5 of those performances and won 3 times. I hardly think he gets an Oscar every time he decides to star in a movie. As to why Kubrick never won an Oscar? Your guess is as good as mine. Hitchcock never won one either.
Also...Daniel Day-Lewis in My Left Foot is arguably the greatest performance by an actor in any role of all-time. That's why he gets so much cred with the Academy. The dude can act. It's simple mathematics.

Good question. Perhaps Kubrick's movies were too esoteric to actually win one (although I'm a big fan). shite, it took Scorsese forever to actually win. Still, I can't say that Day-Lewis didn't deserve to win any of his three. He's a tremendous actor who brings a lot of complexity to a role. He goes beyond "method" to something far more intense, imo.

I was being kind. I've been accused by some of the powers that be of being a shite stirrer.

Yep. Hitchcock and Kubrick, perhaps, had their best films in the wrong year. Some voters didn't take Hitchcock seriously enough until later in his career. A shame.

Day-Lewis has acted in eight TV series and TV movies, had an uncredited role in Sunday Bloody Sunday, a two minute appearance in Gandhi and acted in another movie called Nanou which is so obscure that IMDB doesn't even list a single review by a critic on its page so the number of movies is actually more like 17. Three Oscar wins and five Oscar nominations in 17 movies is a pretty ridiculous ratio.
Posted on 2/25/13 at 12:29 am to Bench McElroy
Well, which of his five nominations and three wins do you think were undeserved?
It's not exactly like Streep who's getting nominated for stuff like Music of the Heart and Devil Wears Prada.
