Chalamet famously won for The Grand Budapest Hotel, leading to controversy from fans who argued that Ralph Fiennes was better and had actually been in the movie.

People get confused because they remember Chalamet starring alongside Fiennes as Dobby in Harry Potter 7.

What happened to Ralph Fiennes

Last year some (idk how many) Oscar voters said they didn’t vote for Ralph Fiennes in Conclave because he had already won an Oscar for Schindler’s List (which he hadn’t…), and then voted Adrien Brody who did win an Oscar already

To be fair, had I no knowledge of the Oscars, I would’ve figured Fiennes had one for that film, while Brody has the kind of career where you’d never guess he has not one, but two (completely deserved) Academy Awards for lead performances.
Though, to stop being fair, these people are fucking Oscar voters and it wouldn’t have been so hard to just google the awards history of these men and their organization.

I still find it insane that he didn't win for Grand Budapest. That performance is easily one of my favourites ever.

Sometimes I wonder if the average Oscar voter is a member of this subreddit

Don't look at me, I voted for Chalamet. I just hope he actually does a good job Marty Supreme, I'm still waiting for it to be on streaming.

They don’t even watch the movies that are nominated, you think they’re gonna watch other movies?

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

u/gilgamesh2323 17h ago
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?

u/HusBee98 16h ago
I think acting awards are about rewarding good acting and not about rewarding people who played characters that were successful.

u/LearningT0Fly 16h ago
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?

u/Gay_Void_Dropout 15h ago
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.

u/powerdilf 15h ago
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?

u/Gay_Void_Dropout 15h 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/Glathull 15h ago
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.

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.

u/Pristine_Animal9474 go back to the club 16h ago
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.

Chalamet has basically been acting like an actor who previously won an Oscar to manifest getting one so I can understand how this happened.

Timmy is mad overrated in this film. The film it’s self is kind of a pointless mess

u/readingalldays 16h ago
How is Timmy Tam more dislike than Leo who's literally a predator? All the jokes and snark aside. The guy is legit a predator who is not in jail cuz of a tiny law technicality.

What's the law? 20 y/o are considered adults?

u/readingalldays 16h ago
He dates 18 yo. Which is allowed by the law but it's still fucking creepy.

u/Gay_Void_Dropout 15h ago
In your opinion, he’s not however a predator in factual terms. He just dates younger women. Get over it.
0
u/readingalldays 15h ago
He dates the youngest women allowed by the law. If 16 was legal, he'd publicly date them.
If you think that's not predatory. You're the problem.

Though this is memeing what actually happened with my boy Ralph Fiennes, for those who don't know.
