It won't do anything with his chances. It's hardly an acknowledgment of them basically saying yes we've noticed you're making good movies but you don't deserve neither a nod nor an actual Oscar yet. If it would be solely based on Michael's work he'd gotten an Oscar long ago but the Academy Awards are about campaigning. It's politics more than anything else. Well and a bit of Weinstein.


Campaigning aka kissy kissy on the butty butty huh. Its a shame, no pun intended. But George Clooney seems like Hollywood favorite and I he's only won 1 Oscar despite his many years in the business, so I guess Michael has to work hard for his.

Yes, campaigning as in saying the right things to the right people. Being in your face during awards season. All that stuff you see from other nominees.
George Clooney has already two Oscars and if I remember correctly he's not as "enthusiastic" about his campaign as other people. Yes, he does it but it's not as annoying as Anne Hathaway for example.

I don't like this neither but Michael didn't campaign last year (he said he wasn't a politician but an actor) and he managed to be nominated. In 2012 he campaigned a lot and was snubbed. I honestly think that if Macbeth is critically acclaimed so as his performance he will probably be nominated. Wining I don't know but depending on his competition this year he might make history with his Shakespeare's role. We have to wait and see! ;)

How I see it, his work should speak for itself without having to campaign. He has been nominated before which means they see how good he is as an actor. But in Hollywood politics they have to get on their knees and say pretty please for a little golden man. Sad, but no doubt he will be nominated again and win too
 
Regardless if he got nominated for one or not, he's still a great actor. I just think that nowadays I find the Oscar a bit overrated, it's not the same compared to the old days. Anyway, I'll still be happy for him so...

I totally agree! No one has to win an Oscar to prove how good she or he is. There are thousands of amazing actors who are stunning but never will win an Oscar. Besides, this award is all about politics, promotion and money so talent is not the only thing that matters.

On the other hand, it open doors indeed and whether we like it or not it's one of the biggest recognitions an actor can win in his career. I would love to see Michael winning an Oscar ;)

You know the amazing thing is, even without an Oscar doors are wide open for Michael. Gradually people are seeing just what a talented actor he is and they want to work with him plus he has his own production company. Great things are happening for him and he doesn't need the Academy's approval. Having an Oscar would just be the icing on the cake for Michael. That man is blessed. The Academy will one day recognize that

Exactly!! Before Shame, he was already an acclaimed actor in Europe because of Hunger and Fish Tank and he did X-Men: First Class in 2011 too. We can't forget that he started to make bigger films when he was older, in his late 20s. When people are extremely talented, doors are eventually opened for them. I remember Michael saying that Brad Pitt helped him in Hollywood too but of course that his talent was the one who helped him the most.

All actors and directors who work with him always say beautiful things about him. Once, Carey Mulligan said that Michael was so intense that if the director asked him to die on set he would. In the rape scene of 12 Years A Slave, he also said that he fainted. I believe him!!! :cool:

He is quite an actor. Even Marion Cotillard said Michael surprised her (acting wise) while working on Macbeth

Yes, she did! And he did the same with her so we can expect both of them to be praised by their roles :cool:

Germany won indeed! It was hard but they did and now they are fourth time champions, that's AMAZING!!! Look what I found on Facebook!
