LOL!<br /><br />Is the role their considering Jake for (or he's considering) more like a cameo? It seems like the other characters have bigger roles? I am completely unfamiliar with this genre. <br /><br />I agree about getting a big paycheck but I'd hate to see him locked in to a long term relationship, though it would boost his box office numbers. I think Will Smith's movies always do pretty well.<br /><br />Hopefully Jake & Edgar are talking about some entirely different project that's divorced from the comic book world. Edgar has always tweeted positive things about Jake, even before NC. : )bobbyannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082978304655465192.post-8512769458299011122015-01-20T14:10:47.636-05:002015-01-20T14:10:47.636-05:00^^^

Sentences like "They are supposed to steal a weapon but end up capturing a woman called June, she has a split personality and her evil side is a sorceress" sound more than a bit bizarre to me. But I don't belong to the main target group anyway. Will Smith's Deadshot, Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn and Jared Leto's The Joker are the biggest parts.

There's no real level playing field. Though my bigger issue is that AMPAS is heavily biased towards a certain kind of Oscar bait. (<a href="http://www.salon.com/2015/01/16/the_oscars_white_guy_backlash_why_academy_voters_retreated_to_their_comfort_zone/" rel="nofollow">Salon</a>: <i>If Oscar voters want to claim that they’re all about cinematic quality and above petty considerations of cultural politics, it might help if they didn’t swoon, year after year, for mediocre inspirational pictures dosed with obvious Oscar sauce.</i>) Initially I was surprised that "Nightcrawler" was in conversation for Oscar nominations at all, because it just doesn't fit into that category. Sadly AMPAS confirmed once again its rather narrow-minded focus on Oscar bait. Other film award bodies are more open minded in that regard.<br /><br /><i>So posting the article they spend foolish money is irrelevant, it is known, but what is the point?</i><br /><br />The point is that film studios sometimes invest in award campaigns just to strengthen their relationships with certain directors and actors, even if the additional earnings due to Oscar nominations often don't justify the considerable expenses for those campaings.Hagennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082978304655465192.post-81038746067566092842015-01-19T04:40:03.005-05:002015-01-19T04:40:03.005-05:00Well, one thing is for sure, I've seen more ta...Well, one thing is for sure, I've seen more talking about Jake's snub than the actual nominees.

It is like 100 times written lie becomes be true. If there is any official screening purely for academy members - NC had it in Toronto - it is still different than De Niro organizes special screening for AS, just because he can.<br /><br />Look in my country there is National Symphonic Orchestra and they are one of the best in the world. Trick is that when they hire new members, musicians, there is some committee sitting and the player/candidate is playing behind the curtain, so they pick the candidate just based on skills he needs, and he is picked based on what they hear only, there is not anything other what takes the attention away.<br /><br />I can understand that in movie industry it is almost impossible, but I am sure, that nominations would look completely different, if they watch just movies without knowing who is director or producer. Actors are another thing, so it is not possible to avoid, but it is not impossible to send for screenings movies without titles and castings. And the names would be revealed just after their work is nominated and campaign would be forbidden. <br /><br />I don't know what is so acceptable on campaign, even if Gyllenhaal would do it, I don't like it, for me it is not kosher at all, but I don't remember any year he would do it until now, so barely he changes his mind unless Harvey will do the work instead. So posting the article they spend foolish money is irrelevant, it is known, but what is the point?

It reminded me a bit of the movie Sliding Doors. <br /><br />The relationship is sexy, funny , sad and oh so clever. A truly original play with incredible performances by Jake and Ruth.

I think actor should promote the movie, but not to beg for an Oscar, it is degrading, I don't see Jake to beg for a support to get closer to any award. And this is what is ridiculous about those campaigns. It is certain actors have in the contracts to promote their movie, go to premiers, give an interviews and answer questions on press conferences.<br /><br />The rest should be up to critics and academy to find a way to the film and give it any price. Special screenings for academy members smells the same as dinners and bribing academy members to give an award to someone who is campaigning more. I work for corporation, where is allowed to take max. pen from customers otherwise it is taken as corruption and we can be fired from the company, no dinners or Champaign is allowed, money obviously. <br /><br />This should work in the same way. But to hire experts for Oscars, make up stories, dinners and special screenings for academy members is not correct and I am glad Jake didn't do this kind of "promotion". If another actors want to promote movie of someone else, they can show up on premiers, festivals. You can express your opinion on social networks etc...but in Cooper's case it was more than this. If he is so great, he would win at least some critics across US, but they are too far to be bribed.
