my favorite genre of movie is “she won best actress for that, right?” “no” “what!”

sometimes I call my friend Lucy ‘Crazy Nancy Pe-Lucy’ and I’m very proud I came up with that

Kamala! If you’re gonna do this, you’re gonna need a Venn Diagram Coordinator. I believe I am that person. I graduated with a degree in shapes with a special concentration in The 3 Circles and I am confident that I can produce sufficient team-building and joy-inducing overlap.

@FritzandOscars Traffic is brilliant and Gladiator is an all-time crowdpleaser, toss up for me. Aronofsky (“Requiem for a Dream”), Harron (“American Psycho”) & Crowe (“Almost Famous”) deserved spots here too!

[Sam Rocha @samhandleyrocha]

@FritzandOscars David Lynch and it’s a miracle he was even nominated at the time! Stone is also a great winner, and James Cameron should be here for Aliens. & a long shot I would have liked to see nominated is Jim Jarmusch for Down by Law.

@FritzandOscars Sideways, but Eternal Sunshine should have been here and won

@FritzandOscars I can’t deny Silence of the Lambs but JFK & Beauty and the Beast are SO good. Boyz n the Hood, Thelma & Louise, and Terminator 2 could have been here!

@RifewithKatie IMDb!

@mrbrianrowe Definitely American Beauty, her Carolyn is everything, hilarious, heartbreaking, campy & intense. I would say she should’ve won that year but I think Reese Witherspoon for Election should have been nominated & won! Bening also should have been nominated in supporting for Bugsy.

[Sam Rocha @samhandleyrocha]

@mrbrianrowe I think his nominated performances have gotten better and better, I wonder how often that happens? (exception is Spotlight, I thought Keaton should have taken his spot.) I want to concur with others and say that You Can Count on Me is my fave Ruffalo, but that is probably lead.

@ihatejoelkim and then the encore “Don’t Forget”

[Sam Rocha @samhandleyrocha]

@FritzandOscars Samuel L Jackson should have been here, but my pick is Robert Forster!

@FritzandOscars Macy! But a real deserving & out-of-left-field nominee would have been…

[Sam Rocha @samhandleyrocha]

@OscarRunnerUp So good, it’s a really tough call between her and Glenn Close for me that year
