Lion : Why nominated in best supporting actor?

Why nominated in best supporting actor?

Doesn't make any sence

Re: Why nominated in best supporting actor?

Came here to comment the same thing

Re: Why nominated in best supporting actor?

Harvey Weinstein knew that Patel probably wouldn't get a nomination in the same category as Affleck, Washington, Garfield and Gosling. It's all about campaigning.

Martin Scorsese IS the best

Re: Why nominated in best supporting actor?

I thought dev did get best actor nom.

Re: Why nominated in best supporting actor?

To be honest, and I'm one of the 1st to call out The Academy for category fraud, it has to be conceded that Devon is actually only in about half of the film. This will be the reason for a 'best supporting' nod. I really don't think there's a strong enough case for Dev to be put forward for the 'lead actor' categor, though it undeniable that the actors who are in the 'leas' category are extremely strong candidates.

Re: Why nominated in best supporting actor?

Yup but to be fair, his first scene was halfway through the movie so I can kind of understand this nomination to an extent.

Plus, the lead category was stacked too so his best chance for a nom was in the supporting category.

Re: Why nominated in best supporting actor?

Better chancez. He can't beat afflack (not ze duck)

Re: Why nominated in best supporting actor?

Weinstein is a master in producing unusual films and winning Oscars.

Howecer, Patel IMO did not give an Oscar worthy performance

Re: Why nominated in best supporting actor?

I agreeI like Patel and think he is quite handsome, but he is a fairly one-note actor. Nicole Kidman as his mother was just excellent and deserves her nomination for her performance.

Re: Why nominated in best supporting actor?

I agree that Nicole Kidman played her (limited) role well but no actor should
be nominated for an award who speaks in barely above a whisper for most of
their time on screen.
It is so annoying when sound engineers presume that 'whispering' is effective
and highly dramatic. What is the point when you cannot follow the script?!

Re: Why nominated in best supporting actor?

Cos you def bro. Clean your *beep* ears out. Shut down these *beep* boards *beep*

Cop:"You think you're Rambo!"
Tango (Stallone): "Rambo's a pussy!"

Re: Why nominated in best supporting actor?

Cretin. And it's partly because of illiterate half-wits like you that the message boards are to be shut down.
When you grow up moron, you'll find constructive criticism is the way to go bro.
