I remember before the Lincoln movie was made and was in basic production, I said, well, that's "Daniel's 3rd Oscar." I also knew they would get it factually incorrect and add a load of bogus cods wallop into the mix. I knew the Oscar was already decided the second Lincoln was a go ahead.
Sadly I was proved spot on.
Jaoquin Rafael Phoenix was ripped off IMO. He was awesome in the Master -- but the Master was too intelligent and non-mainstream for the industry. As bad as Tilda Swinton getting ignored for 'We Need To Talk About Kevin.'
Personally I thought Lincoln was an utter bore fest, mundane Day Lewis going through the motions, safe in the knowledge he had already got his gong. Omitting so many important facts of the civil war.
The Oscars are a joke NOWADAYS IMO. Great for the sycophants though drooling and kissing each others smug backsides.
