Agree on all points. Stallone cancer scene was an auto nom for an Oscar. Baffled why anyone would disagree.
The Martian is one of those great and enjoyable movies from top to bottom. It's got action, drama, science/science fiction, comedy, and likable characters. I wish the crew was able to be fleshed out a bit more, but it was a lot to fit in and it did a great job adapting the book.
Damon is deserving of a nomination.
And I have no problem with Stallone being nominated. He was really great in that movie and I'm sure part of the appeal for voters was the fact that he's playing a character he created forty damn years ago.. and he can still hit those emotional character moments and have you caring and believing in him.
And like it's been mentioned, it's hard to take the "XYZ was snubbed" unless you talk about who they should be voted in over. The exception being the Best Picture race since you're allowed up to 10 nominees in that category. That's the biggest problem with awards in general and how people view them, it's not the all-encompassing selection of greatness for the year. 9/10 there's always other people who deserved to be recognized, but they can only nominate so many.
