View Full Version : I think Robert Downey, Jr. deserves an Oscar nod for Iron Man Heath McKnight December 10th, 2008, 05:52 PM Check out this article I wrote for Screen Rant, arguing why I feel Robert Downey, Jr. deserves an Oscar nomination for Iron Man: For Your Consideration: Robert Downey Jr. In Iron Man - Screen Rant (http://screenrant.com/consideration-robert-downey-jr-iron-man-heath-4474/) Heath Robert Rogoz December 12th, 2008, 12:24 PM Check out this article I wrote for Screen Rant, arguing why I feel Robert Downey, Jr. deserves an Oscar nomination for Iron Man: For Your Consideration: Robert Downey Jr. In Iron Man - Screen Rant (http://screenrant.com/consideration-robert-downey-jr-iron-man-heath-4474/) Heath I think even though his performance is adequate, it's not oscar caliber. the notion about his drug/alcohol addiction as basis for such nomination is just silly. so finally he (at least for now it looks like) has his act together, so what? anyway imo Jeff Bridges did much, much better as a "bad guy", though not as good as Heath Ledger in "Dark Knight" Ryan Postel December 12th, 2008, 12:51 PM I'm not saying he didn't a good job, But I think RDJ literally found a movie where he could just play himself. That doesn't necessarily mean its award-worthy. There were dozens and dozens of better performances this year. Richard Alvarez December 12th, 2008, 01:02 PM Great film. Terrific effects and action. Catchy script. Terrific performance by RDJ - Oscar worthy??? No. Matthew Nayman December 12th, 2008, 01:21 PM RDJ deserves an Oscar for Tropic Thunder if for anything! Heath McKnight December 12th, 2008, 03:19 PM Bridges was excellent as Stane, especially near the end, when he SPOILER ALERT! took Tony's heart/power out. Great acting, writing, direction, camera, sound, etc. All excellent! heath Scott Hayes December 13th, 2008, 09:12 AM hahaha, Tropic Thunder definitely! Heath McKnight December 13th, 2008, 09:15 AM Now I didn't say because he used that he deserves an award--I just said that Hollywood loves the comeback kid. And RDJ definitely is that. But it looks like RDJ got the Golden Globe nom for Tropic Thunder. Heath Richard Alvarez December 13th, 2008, 09:41 AM Oh I LOVE that he appears to be getting his act together. God Bless 'm. He's a suprememly talented actor. Two of his films in particular are noteworthy. CHAPLIN an the often overlooked RESTORATION in particular. Matthew Nayman December 14th, 2008, 09:52 AM He was great in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang too. Heath McKnight December 14th, 2008, 10:00 AM I loved Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Great, great film! heath |
