Denzel wasn't owed one for The Hurricane.. he was owed one for Malcolm X. He lost to Al Pacino for Scent of a Woman.. which is widely seen as the Academy's "Oh ****, we never gave Al Pacino an Oscar yet"
Leo hasn't been snubbed. He lost to Jamie Foxx as Ray, Forest Whitaker as Idi Amin, and McConaughey. None of those losses were outrageous snubs or robberies.
He's just been unlucky to go against actors in great roles that year.

I forgot which page this was originally posted, but the trailer looks like a new series on the CW network. It seems like they're taking the quaintness out and making an Avenger style, end-of-the-world, destroy new york and save the day at the end, type of film. No Hogwarts I'm guessing? I'm not ashamed to sat that I'll skip this one unless I hear REALLY good reviews.

Agree to disagree.

Hence the term "dark horse". It's really between Fassbender & Leo.
Correct.
My mistake. Rourke won the Golden Globe that year.

I think Steve Jobs is dead in the water as a serious contender for any awards. It had some good buzz and great reviews when it first came out, but 0 people watched it and currently its not making much noise on the awards circuit.
Fassbender is still a lock for the nomination, but this is Leo's to lose right now. inb4 that british geek sneaks in with another win

For yall that hate Star Wars, school me on why? 
I like it but I'm not some rabid fan that would defend it to the death. I just re-watched the OG and Empire Strikes Back the other day.
At best I can see it being called a movie that's average as far as criticism and that's really only if you saw it for the first time the past 20 years or so and naturally have seen other movies since that have done similar things.

I def. don't hate Star Wars.. I just never got the hype for it. I watched the first one when I was a kid, didn't think it was all that special and never really cared to watch the others. Then when Episode 1 dropped, I went opening night cause my friend had no one else to go with and I wasn't doing anything, and that sealed it for me 
I will say though, from the trailer.. TFA looks great. I just have no desire to watch it since I don't know much of the backstory. Hateful 8 and Revenant are my go to's this Holiday season. I just like messing with the Star Wars crowd in here but they know it's all jokes.

2pm ET assigned seats for me. I saw Deathly Hallows with pre-bought seats but still had to wait 2 hours for a decent seat - this time paid extra for the premium seats (bigger, right in the middle). Normally it's not worth it but they're assigned so I can roll up at 13:55.

To be fair, NZ and Australia almost always have assigned seating

Just wanted to make sure I read that right. If it's not your cup of tea, so be it. But I still recommend watching Episodes 5 and 6 if for no other reason than to get the whole story.I def. don't hate Star Wars.. I just never got the hype for it.

this, all of this.. as much as I love scent of woman.. denzel deserved that award

it's what all of these present day trilogies and/or multi stuff base their stuff on.. it literally laid the groundwork
