You have Team Mbenga in your sig and you're accusing someone of trolling?
And no, saying SOC is better would be like saying Tim Duncan was a better player than Blake Griffin.

what does that have to do with directing?
do you know how hard it is to direct good action?
mad max had near perfect:
cinematography
sound design
set design
visual effects
sound mixing
score
costume design
editing
it is technically as perfect a film you will ever watch
SOC was just another movie

Book of Eli is the GOAT dystopian action film, Mad Max is just another big budget blockbuster with that's average at he end of the day.

The only reason why I agree with this is because the Academy loved movies like The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Avatar and Titanic and none of them are known for solely for their acting but everything else was done beautifully.
But lets not think the Academy is known for picking the right stuff. They gave Birdman and Argo best picture films and I hated both.

Not a huge spoiler but my favorite scene.
EDIT: Someone tell me how to put this in a spoiler.

That cast. I was excited for The Big Short. Still haven't seen it.
I hear there's a lot of ham-fisted layman's explanations throughout the movie.

Gotta try it again, but I couldn't get into the big short.

Margot Robbie was distracting, but in a good way
Anthony Bortain was good
Selena Gomez was annoying and a poor casting choice, she looks too young to be gambling

Well that's just opinion.
Doesn't change that the Academy has higher standards and to them this movies and actors reached or exceeded those standards that they got vote in to be nominated.
JLaw has not been playing the same role the past 3 years. That's a whole other argument though
I don't know what movies you've been watching with her in it.Can't call it with Sly but I assume it's about the whole getting the same award 40 years a part thing that he got nominated.
Okay nvm.
Wow talk about nitpicking
That was not the point of that short little scene or any of them

I personally don't see a ton of range with JLaw, but then again I haven't seen American Hustle or Joy.

It's based off a true story. The actors are playing real ppl.
The guy Carell played acts like that, the guy Gosling played is like that in real life, it's the same for the guys Bale and Pitt played.
If you found the movie boring okay but a complaint like that makes no sense when they explain why the characters are the way they are. They did that pretty well for the guys Carell and Bale played.
I thought it was hilarious and fun and still managed to be informative.

i mean margot was there because she was fine as hellWow talk about nitpickingThat was not the point of that short little scene or any of them

I saw American Hustle and Silver Linings and I can't say I liked either or. She's good but I think she'll have a movie with no real supporting actors that will really show her talents.

Yeah, I wasn't a huge fan of Silver Linings Playbook. People rave about that movie, though.I saw American Hustle and Silver Linings and I can't say I liked either or.

If anything Bradley Cooper stole the show for me.
