This too and Tarantino. I don't think they are ever going to give him one.

Hathaway aside, Les Mis is a terrible movie.

Life of Pi was such a snooze fest.

So used to it, totally forgot he was snubbed again, haha. His direction was easily better than all the nominees too.

He's 3 for 3 directing, imo, great movies.

And looks like next up is another Dennis Lehane novel (one of my favorite novelists) ... so my expectations are skyhigh.

I found it to be a challenging and unsettling movie that left me not knowing what to think. But that's just me, I can also see why people would view it as Oscar bait as well.

Or they will when he's old and the movie's not his best.

THIS.
Les Mis especially was a disaster.

I need to see it again -- I may have not been in the right mood for that kind of movie.

Just me? ok.

It's okay. Kubrick never won.
