THE OSCARS BIGGEST NOMINATION MISTAKES

Leonardo DiCaprio as Best Actor? Puhleeze! He seems to be playing the same person in every movie and never “disappears” into a role. SO over-rated.

Michael B Jordan should have been a Best Actor nominee for “Fruitvale Station.“ He’s NOTHING like the character he portrayed. And Fruitvale Station should have gotten a nomination too!

Saving Mr Banks (above) was one of the most entertaining and delicious movies of the year and it was all but shut OUT. A pleasure to watch. It left Tom Hanks’ other movie “Captain Phillips” in the dust.

“Blue Jasmine” was not nominated for Best Picture? Insane! Did anybody really think “Gravity” was more entertaining? Was Gravity more entertaining than “The Butler?” We think not.

“American Hustle’s” hairstylist Kathrine Gordon didn’t get a nomination for the best movie hair in memory? What’s WRONG with these people?

Academy Awards American Hustle Hair! Hairdresser Kathrine Gordon

AMERICAN HUSTLE DESERVES AN OSCAR FOR HAIRSTYLING

One of the things we liked best about American Hustle was the HAIR. In particular, the men’s 1970’s hair. Christian Bale’s character’s comb-over was an instant classic and gave the movie its hilarious opening scene. Jeremy Renner’s pompadour was perfect for his smarmy mayor character. And who can forget Bradley Cooper’s headful of perm curlers? The women’s hair was also great, but in this case men’s hair dominated the movie and made it funnier. Kathrine Gordon was the head hair stylist responsible for the magnificent coiffures and of course, she SHOULD get an Oscar for it but probably won’t. Why? Because the sometimes backward Academy gives ONE award for ”Best Makeup and Hairstyling.” Imagine combining the two very separate skills! Consequently the award usually goes to someone who does prosthetic makeup for a fantasy movie. It’s a shame that hair people aren’t appreciated like they should be.
