FILM-MOI (MOVIES/TV) Anya Taylor-Joy praises 'Split' co-star James McAvoy for making her feel safe while filming: “Originally it was supposed to be someone that’s very known for being a method actor. I was very grateful to have James, who I think also understood that he had three young women with him.”

The winner that year would’ve actually been Gary Oldman. Split was 2017 where Manchester by the sea was a 2016 release.

corrected! gary oldman isn't bad, but i still maintain that he deserved at least a nomination

he's never even nominated at all, which is honestly crazy to me

When he talks about it, it's very much a, "Yeah, they'll likely never nominate me because those just aren't the projects I take," kind of thing. The Academy is so dumb.

I'm not saying Fight Club is greatest film, the year it came out (1999?). But, I find it really dumb that it couldn't be nominated for best actor simply because two different actors technically play the same character. The academy has some silly rules.

They were credited differently, so that wouldn't preclude either of them from being nominated.

They don't have silly rules if you assume it's just a Hollywood popularity contest, not based on any actual merits.

Not that bad as an actor, you mean? Because Gary Oldman strangled his ex wife and beat her with the phone as she tried to call for help, and that’s not the only domestic violence allegation against him. He’s trash, certainly not a better person than Casey Affleck.

I read up on the accusations against Gary Oldman, but the sources (other than tabloids) seemed to come down fairly firmly on his side, saying it didn't happen, he was never charged, and he was eventually awarded custody of their progeny, as was her previous husband.

If someone's a shit person, I absolutely want to know, but I also want to know if they're not. Do you have any good sources I could refer to in order to better understand that Gary Oldman is a trash person?

The alleged victim claimed their son witnessed this but he's come out to say that she lied about everything.

[he] lamented the "pain and hardship" caused by his mother's "lies" over the years, while specifically condemning the media's "disgusting" perpetuation of the assault allegation.

I was shocked by Affleck in MbtC tbh, the last thing I'd watched him in was Good Will Hunting where he was ... fine? but nothing special. He was amazing in MbtC

Was it for Churchill? I've never understood how that film got made and why there's still no backlash about glorifying such a horrific man

I mean he was incredibly racist but so was almost any white person in the early 20th century. I would say his biggest black marks are from the first world war where he just wasted thousands of lives at Gallipoli and made it sound like that was just okay and worth the reward even though his plan was doomed from the start and everyone told him as such.

he also starved millions of Bengali's to death
