2022 Mofo Fantasy Football Champ
Best Actor 2012

Here's my nominees:
Daniel Day-Lewis- Lincoln
Hugh Jackman- Les Miserables
Bradley Cooper- Silver Linings Playbook
Johan Heldenbergh- Broken Circle Breakdown

But the winner this year is:
Denzel Washington- Flight




Denzel is awesome as always and I love that crash scene. The rest of Flight just doesn't work for me unfortunately.

2022 Mofo Fantasy Football Champ
Best Supporting Actress

Here what I would have picked for the Oscar nominees:

Samantha Barks- Les Miserables
Judi Dench- Skyfall
Mickey Sumner- Frances Ha
Kara Hayward- Moonrise Kingdom

And I would keep the winner being the person who actually won it:

Anne Hathaway- Les Miserables



I know people dislike the film, but I really thought it was very good. Have an itch to see it again.



Seeing as you guys look like you're done with 2012 I'm gonna use this time to catch up as well as redo some of my older picks. Won't do any honourable mentions because I honestly can't be bothered.

Really need to see Her again. Think I am the only Mofo that doesn't love it. Can't believe you didn't give Chris Pratt love. Think I kind of love him in Her.

I liked him in that but I didn't think his performance was anything special.

This might just do nobody any good.
2012 still.

Best actor: Joaquin Phoenix as Freddie Quell / Philip Seymour Hoffman as Lancaster Dodd.

A hollow shell seeking meaning, falling into the hands of a charlatan who wants nothing more than blissful ignorance. It’s a relationship that threatens to destroy each man but the pull is so strong you can’t help but to want to see them break free from their perceived “shackles”.

It’s too bad we won’t get The Master 2049 and see the earth shattering final confrontation as their reincarnated selfs discover that there can truly be only one.

Bonus: Denis Levant as various characters in Holy Motors.

Best actress: Jessica Chastain could limit herself to action movies for the rest of her career but she will never be more badass than she is in ZD30. You have to feel how personal she (and Kathryn Bigelow) took the character’s journey up the ladder.

Bonus: Greta Gerwig as Frances Ha(lliday). *swoon*



This might just do nobody any good.
Actually, check all that. Best performance has to go to Frederic Bourdin from The Imposter.
