This Guy Deserved an Oscar Nomination

“If you’re a Boardwalk Empire fan, then you already know what a creepy powerhouse actor Michael Shannon can be. And if you’ve seen Take Shelter, you know that the guy got stiffed in this year’s Oscar race. Shannon plays a working-class husband and father haunted by harrowing dreams and apocalyptic visions of swarming blackbirds, oil-slick rain, and ominous storm clouds. Is he going mad, or are these signs of how much he wants to protect his family, or is he the only person who can see that the end is nigh? Shannon’s intense performance is a thing of mysterious beauty. In a just world, he wouldn’t be watching the Academy Awards on TV.”

-Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly

    Not to mention Chastain’s fine ass killing it, just like she did in every other goddamn film that was released in 2011
