I think the male actors from Spotlight are cancelling each other out, it's why studios typically try to designate one actor/actress as lead and the other as supporting even if they have similar sized roles so as not to split the vote. I know the studios wanted Vikander in supporting for The Danish Girl and Rooney in supporting for Carol as they think they'll have a better chance there but seems like the awards groups are putting them in the lead category.
I'm not a Leo fan girl and I have to roll my eyes at all the press around how suffered for his role. It seems to becoming a tradition - actors trying to out starve or out do one another to prove they suffered more. It'll be interesting to see who emerges as the favourites over the next month or so.

Wasn't there some online brouhaha over Leo's fight scene with a bear? People getting all concerned about the animal, and others expressing concern and admiration for his bravery in fighting a ear for a movie role. A CGI bear, duh.
Then Leo has to add to the stupid by saying how he witnessed climate change firsthand while filming in Alberta, because it would be -10 in the morning and +10 (Celsius) by afternoon and a local told him this has never happened before! Heh, Leo got owned by a local, I guess he's never heard of a chinook. Or Google. Or the concept of checking facts before making declarative statements.

Yesterday Mr Metairie and I drove from New Orleans to Houston. It was 80 F when we left NOLA at about 4:00, and when we stopped for gas / potty break in Lafayette, LA (approx 2 hours west) it was 55 degrees. We called it a cold front.

BAFTA nominations came out this week. I can't believe George Miller was left off the Best Director list, and I'm sad Charlotte Rampling didn't make the Best Actress list and Sylvester Stallone didn't make Best Supporting Actor (but yay for Mark Ruffalo). Other than that, I think it's a pretty standard list.
*Also, I didn't think Spotlight was eligible since it comes out at the end of the month

Yeah, Leo is getting into Kate Winslet territory where after enough serious roles, where he plays lesbian Holocaust victims with bulimia and a club foot, Hollywood's decided he has a career strong enough that he gets a statue. And Eddie Redmayne isn'r famous enough for a back-to-back, and Will Smith's Erin Brockovich movie was a disappointment.

What was nice about Julianne Moore's overdue win last year was that it was a performance that could have won had it been delivered by an unknown actress. It wasn't that she had finally hit on the right piece of Oscar bait that would force the Academy to grudgingly transfer the statue to her grabby hands. (At least that's what it felt like to me with Kate and now Leo.)

I haven't seen the numbers yet but it looks like Mad Max: Fury Road got the most nominations this year, including Best Director and Best Picture. Star Wars did pretty good in the tech categories.
But I'm most excited about Tom Hardy getting nominated for Best Supporting Actor for The Revenant. In my opinion he blew Leo away.
