When it comes to the acting in the production, I thought Jake Gyllenhaal was good, but honestly, there are other actors this year more worthy of a nomination for Best Actor and I’m not arguing for anything here. I’m not insisting on a nomination in those two categories, but it wouldn’t have been too bad. Next, I wouldn’t have been too mad if the movie was nominated for Best Cinematography and Best Editing. I was expecting ‘Nocturnal Animals’ to get snubbed, but I at least thought the Academy would realize how well this film is directed… I’m really disappointed and actually surprised that Tom Ford didn’t get a nomination. ‘Nocturnal Animals’ also definitely should have gotten some recognition for it’s direction, which was flawless. Also, the story is fantastic, it’s original and coherent and the narrative is one of a kind, so the movie should have gotten a nomination for Best Screenplay. And I’m really surprised that happened too because this production has the vibe, feeling, and plot that the Academy loves and it usually awards movies like ‘Nocturnal Animals’ with at least a nomination. Obviously, I think it’s a big snub that it wasn’t nominated for Best Picture. I know I’ve been going on and on about that movie lately (it’s my favorite film of 2016 and you can check out the review I wrote here), but that’s only because it’s that good! Honestly, even if people don’t think that this production is the best film of 2016, it still deserves at least a nominations in so many categories. So, instead I’m gonna let you know what movie I think got screwed the most this year. I barely squeezed an hour from my schedule to write this (and I’m doing so sitting on a bench in a random building, just saying). Sadly, I’ve been swamped lately and thus I simply don’t have the time to write something long like that today. There’s a fine line there for sure.I know I promised to write a long article today about the biggest snubs and biggest surprises of this year’s Oscar nominations. People that would come across very charismatic and charming, yet have no empathy behind the eyes and be slightly unpredictable and dangerous. It’s pretty wild, but I needed to root that character in some kind of reality, and that’s why I researched serial killers and psychopaths. “It gave us somewhere to be able to play,” he said, “and me and Tom really went for it. The fictional construct allowed for a heightened interpretation, Taylor-Johnson told me. Shannon’s character exists in a fictional world alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Ray, the psychopathic antagonist of the thriller novel. I just know exactly how I want it to be.’ I’ve never had a director do this before, but it’s almost like he’s lived the whole movie in his imagination.” “He took the clippers out of hand and said, ‘No, you’re doing a wonderful job. “I’ll never forget, being in the make-up trailer, and I was getting my hair cut and Tom walked in,” he recalled. But he nevertheless joined his cast-mates at the Deadline studio, noting Ford’s particular attention to detail. The actor has no fewer than three films in this year’s selection, as he bounces between Downtown premieres and the set of Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water, which is filming in the city. There must surely be a Supporting Actor nod in Michael Shannon’s future for his role here as a grizzled Texas sheriff who helps Jake Gyllenhaal’s character seek retribution.
