Comments by "Morgan King" (@MorganKing95) on "Top 10 Actors Who Have Never Been Nominated For An Oscar" video.

  1. Two problems in this comments section: 1. People suggesting Leo when the the title CLEARLY says "Actors not NOMINATED for an Oscar" (Now he is also not qualified for "Actors who have never won an Oscar" anymore) 2. People criticizing Marilyn Monroe without knowing that the film industry never took her seriously because of her looks. Lee Strasberg considered her his second-best student at Actors Studio, so she clearly had potentials
    102
  2. Been nominated 3 times
    4
  3. I wonder how Marilyn Monroe would have done it if she was taken seriously by the film industry; Lee Strasberg for example called her his second-best student at Actors Studio

  4. jazztom86 "Overacting is never the key". Just proves that you have never gone to acting school or participated in a production You're entitled to your opinion, but critics disagree
    2
  5. Not to mention that Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole never received one and Glenn Close STILL hasn't received one either
    2
  6. Nope. He was nominated (and won) a Golden Gobe though
    2
  7. Carrey is the only one who's qualified. Depp and Adams have been nominated multiple times
    2
  8. Forget about Ace Ventura! "The Truman Show", "Man on the Moon", and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" are where Jim Carrey showed his true potential
    2
  9. Ralph Fiennes has been nominated twice
    2
  10. Is this a joke?
    2
  11. He has been nominated 8 times. This is for actors who haven't been nominated once
    2
  12. He was nominated for "Witness"
    2
  13. Sam Jackson was nominated for Pulp Fiction

  14. +jazztom86 "Acts more with his body than his heart". The body is one of the most important instruments of an actor, along with the voice; Grotowski can confirm that. His facial expressions in "The Truman Show" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" are at least a lot better than the deadpan expressions I see from many actors who try way too hard to be subtle. Naturalism also often makes performances too internal and lifeless, so sometimes expressionism and slightly overacting is the key; just look at Daniel Day-Lewis If you don't get moved by the ending of "The Truman Show" or the beginning of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", then I really wonder what life you have been living

  15. jazztom86 Audience obviously watch movies, theatre performances, and operas only from the audience's point of view, so they don't notice the techniques in the same way practitioners and acting students do. If someone has gone to an acting school, studied acting techniques (as in evaluating actors the same way critics evaluate movies) or been an actor for a long period, then I can find their assessment a bit more reliable. If not, then I don't trust them as much.  I also base my assessments on my own experiences, and since it's now been a norm that Jim Carrey is a great yet underrated dramatic actor (as in the joint verdict is that Jim Carrey's performances are Oscar-worthy performance that was overlooked), it seems like my experience and thoughts are similar to that norm.  And yes, I've always looked up to Roger Ebert, and he has praised Jim Carrey a lot in "The Truman Show", "Man on the Moon", "The Majestic", and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", and he is obviously a lot more acclaimed and praised than the average movie critic

  16. jazztom86 Yeah, I don't always blindly trust Ebert. I also mostly looked up to him when I was into movie criticism for the first time, but now that I've learned even more about argumentation and aesthetic judgment, I've been more and more on my own. There have also been instances where I have been questioning his authority, for example when he criticized "The Cable Guy" almost entirely because he expected a light comedy like "Ace Ventura", or when he gave negative reviews to "The Usual Suspects" and "Gladiator". I also don't understand why he criticized Marlon Brando in "The Godfather". I therefore often read his reviews to see why he thinks the way he does, and not just look at how many stars he gave the film. Overall though, I really like his structure and disposition and his no-nonsense writing, as well as his philosophy on relativism. I mostly do theatre criticism nowadays however since that's what I'm specialized in, and because I don't come across theatre reviews that often, so it's easier to stand by own words. Many of the reviews I've actually read are also not that good (I'm Norwegian, and many of the critics here are people who hate on avant-garde or post-modern theatre performances just because it's not traditional. Many of them are also way too subjective and look into every small detail just to find something to criticize), so I usually ignore them

  17. I really wonder why

  18. +kryptonek88 "Ok acting", "He's a wreck". Oh, such a good argumentation...

  19. He was an amazing martial artist and always looked good in the fighting sequences, but you usually need more than that to get an Oscar nod
    1
  20. I could have bought that as a hyperbole, but there are a handful of black actors who have been nominated over the years: - Sidney Poitier - James Earl Jones - Paul Winfield - Denzel Washington - Morgan Freeman - Laurence Fishburne - Samuel L. Jackson - Cuba Gooding Jr. - Michael Clarke Duncan - Don Cheadle - Jamie Foxx - Terrence Howard - Forest Whitaker - Djimon Hounsou - Will Smith - Eddie Murphy - Chiwetel Ejiofor - Barkhad Abdi

  21. Benjamin Robinson Yes, I tried to include actors who have been nominated and some that have also won

  22. +james howe He was never nominated for an Oscar; the only award nomination he ever got was a Golden Globe nomination
    1
  23. +Listener Canon And "Man on the Moon"
    1
  24. She could (and it's spelled "Marilyn"), but Hollywood never took her seriously
    1
  25. +Kenny Spillman John Cazale: Fredo in "The Godfather", Sal in "Dog Day Afternoon", and Stan in "The Conversation"
    1
  26. Donald Sutherland also has a very smooth voice; his long monologue in "JFK" would easily ruin my patience if another actor performed it
    1
  27. +allmediareviews.blogspot.com I think he/she meant that WatchMojo should have mentioned "Man on the Moon" when they were talking about Jim Carrey
    1
  28. You clearly haven't seen enough of his movies; He clearly became Andy Kaufman in "Man on the Moon" for example. And by the way, acting is a lot more than to just disappear into the character
    1
  29. No. Him not being nominated for "A Clockwork Orange" for example is considered a huge robbery
    1
  30. That's because Hollywood exploited her; Lee Strasberg said she was his second-best student at Actors Studio (Brando being first despite claiming Strasberg taught him nothing)
    1
  31. The Academy Awards just cannot shake off "The Mask" and "Ace Ventura"; it doesn't matter how great the movie is and how amazing he is in the movie, they immediately go "Nah, we will never give an Oscar nod to mr. rubbery face". I also cannot believe he's never been nominated
    1
  32. Nominated for Witness
    1
  33. You obviously haven't seen "The Truman Show", "Man on the Moon", or "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"

  34. Pat Morita was nominated for "The Karate Kid", Michael Keaton was nominated for "Birdman", Dennis Hopper was nominated for "Hoosiers", Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne were nominated for "What's Love Got to Do With It", and Sophie Okenodo was nominated for "Hotel Rwanda", and Shyamalan is not even an actor. Sloppy research on your part

    1
  53. Matt Damon has been nominated (not for "The Departed", but in general)
    1
  54. +adrian jubb If you ignore his annoying comedies and focus on his serious movies ("The Truman Show", "Man on the Moon", "Steens Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", "The Majestic", and "Doing Time on Maple Drive"), he's actually a damn good actor. I'll pick his serious performances over DiCaprio any day
    1
  55. Have you actually seen movies like "Man on the Moon" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"?
    1
  56.  @ThatGuyNorm  Yes, because the Oscars are biased just like you. Fortunately, the Golden Globes and BAFTA were not
    1
  57.  @ThatGuyNorm  You really are biased, and I also doubt that you're even a reliable source for this. But hey! YouTube trolls are not reliable sources to begin with, and I highly doubt that you even have some acting experience, making you even less of a reliable source. Also, the BAFTAs are not put into separate categories. "Its easier to win those award because they're retarded". Yup, you lost your credibility right there. There's no way that you're NOT a YouTube troll, because otherwise you would have been mature and intelligent Sorry, troll, but your statement is invalid. Have a nice day and have fun playing video games in your mom's basement 😉
    1
  58.  @ThatGuyNorm  No, everyone who's obviously not formal or intelligent or can actually use some real argumentation, as well as those say things like "It's retarded" and "Oh please!". If the person seems intelligent and serious however, it's a different story. Look at this review from Roger Ebert on "First Blood" for example: "When he explodes near the beginning of 'First Blood', hurling cops aside and breaking out of a jail with his fists and speed, it's such a convincing demonstration of physical strength and agility that we never question the scene's implausibility" Formal and analytic yet direct, elegant, and engaging. A bigger example would be from Michel Foucault here in "What is an author?": "Instead, we must locate the space left empty by the author's disappearance; follow the distribution of gaps and breaches, and watch for the openings this disappearance uncovers" I disagree with a bunch of things in the essay, but at least he knows how to use words. And finally we've got Roland Barthes: "Here the closed character of the form does not derive from rhetorical amplification or from grandiloquence in delivery, but from a lexicon as specialized and as functional as a technical vocabulary; even metaphors are here severely codified" See? Poetry

  67.  @GavinJ37  Ah, we've got ourselves a troll here. Well, your attempt at humor isn't working
    1
  68.  @GavinJ37  I'm not a fanatic, I'm a critic, and if you think Carrey can't do any serious performances, then you're either a troll, very ignorant, or have little to no experience
