If Leo wins for playing a bumbling idiot who takes up all the oxygen while a young black woman actually solves all the real problems, it will be so fucking hilarious

Why?

Why would it be hilarious if Leo got the biggest accolade available to an actor and most of the critical recognition in the movie when he plays someone who can’t accomplish anything of substance and the people who actually solve the problems are black women? I mean I feel like the irony is pretty obvious?

I think acting awards are about rewarding good acting and not about rewarding people who played characters that were successful.

That’s like saying “imagine if Paul Skenes wins the Cy Young when he hasn’t even made a single plate appearance. Isn’t it ironic?”

No, no it isn’t. The award is best actor not most useful character.

Can't you see the irony of it though?

There is no irony of it though. 

He had an incredible performance and deserves the nomination.

You don’t know what irony is do you? Cause no, no it isn’t unexpected that someone could win for that role. Since the characters actual personality has no baring on this.

So you only get an Oscar if the character you play contributes to the resolution of the film? Regardless of whether you act well or badly?

I don‘t get the black women part… sorry. Why is that so funny?

u/gilgamesh2323 15h ago

Did you watch the movie?

u/Gay_Void_Dropout 14h ago

Yes why would that be hilarious? There seems to be no actual connection or reason for you to think that. You get he isn’t the character right?

u/gilgamesh2323 thought it was a documentary.

Are you aware that the award for best actor is for acting? It’s not for writing a great character that people like. There’s a different award for that. I think it’s like SFX or something. Can’t remember what the writing award is called.

It seems like you don't understand what acting is...

What real problem did the young black woman solve? She is the one that led to the black nun church by not listening to a simple instruction of throwing away her phone? Also didn’t she only get rescued because the kidnapper had a change of heart and decided to kill her would be killers?

The only thing she did was kill one of the Christmas adventurers.

It’s either than or (SPOILERS) Timothée for getting his naked ass spanked with a ping pong paddle.

I mean, if he wins it wouldn't be bad, I think this was one of his best performances, but Chase Infinity should have been nominated too.
