Hm wonder what this special set of nominees is?
if its 1935 then:
Charles Laughton - The Ruggles Of Red Cap
Robert Donat - The 39 Steps
Boris Karloff - Bride Of Frankenstein
Groucho Marx - A Night Of The Opera
Leslie Howard - The Scarlet Pimpernel
but if its special nominees then err I dont know.
my winning request is
Oskar Werner - Fahrenheit 451 (Alternate Best Actor 1966)
my advise to George Woolf, and Michael Patison is to select a nominee that probably wouldnt have been considered (like ive done) rather than an obvious one that will probably still get in.
Dang it. If you had switched your 4 and 5 spots, I would have owned the year 1949. And what do you mean by a special set of nominees?
I'm intrigued by the special set of nominees.
As for 1935:
Fred Astaire in Top Hat
Robert Donat in The 39 Steps
Errol Flynn in Captain Blood
Charles Laughton in The Ruggles of Red Gap
Groucho Marx in A Night at the Opera
I guess The Scarlet Pimpernel is 1934, so that won't work.
I think it'd also be cool if, at some point, you tried creating supporting categories from scratch from 1928-35.
For my winning request, I'm going to take RatedRStar's advice. I had seen a post of his saying about the same thing earlier and had decided on somebody for you to review, but I can't remember who it is, so I guess I'll stick to go back to an Australian flick and request either Mark Lee or Mel Gibson in Gallipoli, you can take your pick, based upon who you think is better or however you want to choose to review it. That category would be 1981 lead.
good choice Michael =D, I wasnt trying to be rude neither when I mentioned before about picks, its because people like ya know, Michael Fassbender for Shame is an obvious choice that would have got in probably if nobody considered so =D, its so that theres kinda more diverse surprise picks rather than the same ones.
No worries. It's a great idea. I had been thinking about doing it for a long time, but I was always leaning toward performances that I really love that I wouldn't really want to see perhaps get the scores I might want them to, but I think I'll just go for it now.
Your requests have been written down. I'm keeping a written list now so I definitely won't forget.
Also I think I am going to do the special set then afterwards do 35. I will give a hint about the special set, which is I probably should have done it last year.
Michael: I will try to scratch something up for supporting those year, but if I do them they will probably be like 51 and 47 unless there are a clear set of at least more than two nominees.
Fair enough. There were certain years where I could think of/found several candidates who were probably worthy (i.e. 1932 with Grand Hotel and 1935 TMWKTM and Bride of Frankenstein with a few others) and then there were many others (i.e. 1933, where there were only maybe 1 or 2 deserving performances, like Robert Donat in Henry VIII).
I obviously don't expect you to move mountains, but I thought they might be interesting whenever the blog gets to that point.
Another question. Are you going to do 1927 and 1928, or just 1928?
I'll probably do both.
