[@siddharthnaagar7028]

I still can't believe Allison Janney and Sam Rockwell were never nominated for an Oscar before, I can understand for Allison she never got quality or important roles in films but Sam has given so many fine performances in films especially conviction and moon, it's seriously about time

[@axr7149]

True. Janney's is even more surprising to me personally especially since her filmography is actually rather impressive, in spite of the fact that she appears more frequently in television. Don't forget that Janney has appeared in moves like THE HELP, JUNO, AMERICAN BEAUTY, and more. All 3 of them were Best Picture nominees, with AMERICAN BEAUTY even being a Best Picture winner. Interesting side note: Allison Janney is the 6th cast member of THE HELP to win an Oscar. The others who've won are Mary Steenburgen, Sissy Spacek (both won Supporting and Lead Actress Oscars respectively in 1980), Octavia Spencer (who won for THE HELP), Viola Davis, and Emma Stone (they won Supporting and Lead Oscars in 2016 respectively). Also, whenever Octavia Spencer was nominated, she either won or was beaten by her fellow THE HELP cast member (she won on her first nomination, lost her second nod to Viola Davis, and lost her third nomination to Allison Janney).

[@nox5870]

Don't forget The Green Mile , he should got Nominated for that.

[@neelabhraroy4238]

axr714 Frankly I think JK Simmons for Whiplash is the best of the decade but this is a close second

[@axr7149]

Neelabhra Roy I respectfully disagree. Also, as great as JK Simmons was in WHIPLASH, he was third best of the decade for me (after Rockwell and Jared Leto), and I frankly believe Simmons should have at least tied with Ethan Hawke for BOYHOOD that year (Hawke's character evolves over the course of his movie, and his change is presented in a really believable manner). Interesting Side Note: This marks the 5th year in a row (and the 7th in 9 years) where a first-time nominee won the Supporting Actor category.

5) Plummer, 4) Jenkins, 3) Harrelson, 2) Dafoe, 1) Rockwell Excellent field in all honesty, and personally I wouldn't have minded seeing anyone of these men win. Rockwell's performance is impressive and his win deserved, and calls to mind J. K. Simmon's nuanced villain portrayal of Terrence Fletcher.

[@Wired4Life2]

Comparing the bumbling Rockwell to the spellbinding and terrifying Simmons? What a joke. :/ Willem Dafoe should have won. He gave the performance of his career in The Florida Project.

[@emigrant1510]

+BlueFox94 He was good but Rockwell was excellent and benefited from having the more complex charachter, which only added to his performance.

[@axr7149]

+BlueFox94 I respect your opinion, but I honestly feel Rockwell hands down deserved this, not only because of playing a complex character as mentioned by the Emi Grant, but also because his performance was thoroughly convincing (you could feel sympathy for a character such as this, which is very difficult to do). Also, in retrospect, as great as JK Simmons was (and I really have no problems with his win by the way), I felt Ethan Hawke should have won for BOYHOOD that year.

[@emigrant1510]

+axr714 My exact same thoughts, though, we're gonna have a problem with the 2014 supporting category

[@djinnsbetpools]

I have such mad, mad appreciation for him saying that he looked up to the actors nominated alongside him. It was true. He was the youngest of that lot, and he's been watching them all his life, and he's been working with them in theatre for years. That nod to Phil Hoffman was heartbreaking. From interviews, it looked like they were very good friends and had the same mentors. They supported and pushed each other to be the best actors, and again, they came from the same generation who idolized all these greats Sam was nominated with.

[@andrewisnotdead]

Jack Mahanes I kinda felt William Dafoe was better, but that’s just my opinion

[@jackmahanes4591]

Willem Dafoe would've EASILY been my second choice. The Florida Project is an excellent movie, but it's also worth noting it would've been far less interesting without him. Dafoe was the glue that kept that movie together. However, I think Rockwell's performance was trickier to pull off in the way that he did. It's difficult to make a hateful character make you somehow have empathy for him, and then he pulls you around by the end. It's also showier while Dafoe's is subtler. But I will say, Dafoe needs an Oscar very soon! It's way overdue!

[@jackmahanes4591]

@Diego Pisfil Absolutely Three Billboards is better than The Florida Project. The acting, the writing, the direction, and most importantly the pace. The Florida Project has about an hour of great film making, and then gets lost and slow the last 45 minutes. Willem Dafoe is the best aspect of the movie.
