It is what it is is a symbol of laziness, itellectually and when it comes down to activism. So leave out. More is possible.
Ackknowledge non-Disney movies. Give comedy actors more of a chance and stop overevaluiting drama. See Jim Carrey or recently Rose Byrne.
Change your rules for films. Just look at Berlinale where last year a Iranian film won the main prize. Change your rules for acting. Maggie Cheung won at Cannes. Deneuve should atleast be able to win at the Oscars atleast.
Wasn't even the best one from America that year.
The Berlin International Film Festival is, you know, an international film festival, so is Cannes.
It's not really surprising that a film not from the country of the festival won it, just like an Italian movie won the San Francisco International Film Festival this year (just an example).
The Oscars are different, they're an industry award, it has nothing to do with laziness, this is like complaining that too many British films wins the BAFTA.

Gary Oldman
Glenn Close
Samuel L. Jackson
Also, Tarantino for director, dude has earned it. Get over it, Academy. //Disregard the screenplay notion, i forgot that he won 2 for this.
But i hope that Tom Hardy wins in the near future, great actor ... thought he played better than Leo in The Revenant.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
He's won twice.

I was very surprised to learn that Glenn Close doesn't yet have an Oscar. They really need some kind of 'Lifetime contribution to filmmaking' award - and have one for acting and one for production, so you can allow overlooked composers, directors, cinematographers etc to get their overdue credit too.

Wes Anderson. Fincher's recent movies were not that interesting.
Yup, these are my answers.
PTA should have won for TWBB and Fincher should have won for TSN.

Glenn Close has the most nominations of any living actor/actress without a win. 2nd place?
Amy Adams.

In all honesty, Jim Carrey.
Wouldn't Stallone have an Oscar for Rocky winning best picture since he wrote it?

You're not overdue an Oscar for a few decent roles.
You're due for an Oscar for 1 amazing role.

They do have that, it's the Lifetime Achievement Award. Morricone was awarded it in 2006.

Tim Burton never got one IIRC.
Oh an Hardy really deserves one, he's outperformed so many lead actors.

As much as I think he deserved one for Boogie Nights and There Will be Blood, he jumped the shark with The Master, what a bunch of wank.
If he had gotten them, he was due to undeserve the previous ones because of that film.
Because that's how it works.

Who won Best Actor in the year Assassination of Jesse James came out?
Casey Affleck blew me away in that, though I've only seen him in Gone Baby Gone elsewhere, in which he was good but not incredible imo

He was the saving grace of Prometheus and Xmen First Class

Beat EviLore at pool.
Javier Bardem won that year. Casey is also pretty good in gone baby gone.

I just checked- he has been nominated twice, but he lost two good roles. - Jared Letho for Dallas Club, and Decaprio for Rev.
To me he was insane in Hunger. Everyone- Watch Steve McQueens Hunger. It is fucking amazing. Dat one shot monologue:O

The Master was brilliant. What is this nonsense?
What's your opinion on IDNMFTTMWMFA by The Evaporators?
(It stands for "I don't need my friends to tell me who my friends are")

DiCaprio wasn't nearly as overdue as Scorsese and Morricone were, good lord. I think Fassbender and Hardy will get there eventually. They killed so many already.
If we're talking about overdue right now, then obviously Paul Thomas Anderson and David Fincher. Fight Club might just be my favourite flick ever.

The idea of someone being 'overdue' is why the oscars is as it is.
Politics, lobbying and owing 'favours'.
The roles he chooses are morally ambiguous to the nastier end of the scale, the voters at the academy have made it clear they don't like roles like that. And thus don't nominate or reward them usually.
Unless it's a high camp 'nasty' role.
