[Blind Gossip] This man lost at the Oscars yesterday. No shame in it, as his nomination was well-deserved. However, he did tell a few people later on that he considers it his own fault that he didn’t win.
He said that he wishes that the quality of his work could stand for itself, and that he lost because he doesn’t like “doing the whole sucking up thing”. However, he has already decided that he definitely “won’t make the same mistake next time” he is nominated, and that he is “going to start sucking up to the right people now” to make sure that happens.
While we don’t know exactly who he thinks the “right people” are, but it looks like he is starting with members of the press. He willingly gave some brief interviews at one of the after parties and smiled for the cameras. Given that he is known for being more artsy and serious than sociable or chatty, we are sure that this was quite an effort for him!

Joaquin Phoenix
Joaquin Phoenix ?
joaquin?
Daniel Day-Lewis.
He won…haha
He did win for Best Actor.
Joaquin Phoenix
Joaquin Phoenix?
Either Joaquin Phoenix or Philip Seymour Hoffman? Both are artsy and serious.
I’m leaning towards Philip Seymour Hoffman…
I don’t think Joaquin Phoenix would start sucking up to anyone, especially after his comments about the Oscars last year. I’m sure he’d make a comment about how he didn’t win because he didn’t kiss everyone in Hollywood’s butt, though.
Philip Seymour Hoffman already won the Award for Best Actor in 2005 for Capote. The same year Joaquin Phoenix was nominated too for Walk the Line. So I think Joaquin is a better guest for this one.
Joaquin Phoenix.. Was his sister his “date” again ????? Hmmmmm now that is a blind all on its own. Just sayin
Joaquin Phoenix
Joaquin Phoenix for sure.
Tommy Lee Jones
Bradley Cooper
he totally already sucks up to the press!!! Have you seen one of his interviews?
Joaquin Phoenix
Joaquin Phoenix?
Joaquin Phoenix FTW
Joaquin Phoenix.
bradley cooper
Phoenix.
Joaquin Phoenix?
Joaquin or Hugh?
I’m going with Hugh, because I think Joaquin is a little too anti-establishment to care.
That’s why he’s the best guess though. Maybe he realized he needs to start being a little more pro-establishment and kiss some butts. He’s been nominated for a lot of awards but I don’t think he has won any of them.
Not sure – I think Hugh is very schmoozy. he did alot of press (60 min) in advance of the Oscars. And he does work the room–not like Cooper but he is pretty social.
Must be Joaquin. Hugh basically made an ass of himself to get nominated. A ton of people thought Phoenix should have won and he beat out Lewis on many critic circle awards. But he is more on the artsy side and it’s hard to believe he’ll kiss ass. He did blow his chances but I think he was right about the phoniness of the awards.
Joaquin Phoenix?
Nominated for Best Actor for The Master.
Joaquin Phoenix
Definitely Joaquin Pheonix
Yeah- the capital one advertisement I had to sit through 8 diffent times- really?! Jesus- that’s just obnoxious. And annoying, and just about enough to say f%#! It.
Joaquin Phoenix?
The les miserables guy!
Hugh Jackman..?
Joaquin Phoenix
Joaquin Phoenix …..he was even shaking his head when they panned to him.
Joke Phoenix
Joaquin Phoenix?
Bradly Cooper (just guessing here… can’t piece any clues with this one).
Johnny Depp?
First time poster. LOVE this site. My guess: Joaquin Phoenix.
Hi Rianna! Love, Ace
Joaquin Phoenix.
Joaquin Phoenix? Dude looked miserable during the Oscars. He’s such a brilliant actor, love him. <3
Joaquin P.
Denzel Washington
Joaquin Phoenix. He really should have won the award.
Joaquim Phoenix. Has to be. He seemed in pain during the telecast, he grimaced repeatedly. Unless he had a kidney stone.
Denzel Washington.
Joaquin!
Oh, Joaquin has won before. He knows the game. Philip Seymour Hoffman!
I think you have them backwards. Hoffman won for Capote. Phoenix has never won.
Joaquin phoenix. He deserved it. Lincoln was amazing but it was more so because of spielberg’s direction and tommy lee
Not Joaquin Phoenix as he disrespects the Oscars.
Denzel Washington
joaquin phoenix
Joaquin.
Joaquin Phoenix? Since he was down on the Oscars before the show, and I think he’s the only one to have never won an oscar that qualifies as artsy and serious.
Joaquin won for “Walk The Line.”
He was fabulous in that movie.
He didn’t win an Oscar for it.
J. Phoenix
Joaquin Phoenix
Robert De Niro
Joaquin Phoenix

Tommy Lee Jones
Joaquin Phoenix
Joaquin Phoenix ?
Joaquin Phoenix
Joquin Phoenix.
Joaquin Phoenix for The Master. He is definitely more known for being artsy and serious. With all of his nominations for various awards, he is always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
Ben?
Joaquin Phoenix?
Joaquin Phonenix?
Denzel Washington?
Either Joaquin Phoenix or Tim Burton?
Has to be Joaquin
Joaquin Phoenix! Saw him smiling in an interview after being morose in the ceremony
Part of me thinks it’s Tommy Lee Jones. I’ve read several analyses suggesting he lost due to the bad press from that sourpuss screenshot of him from the Golden Globes.
Joaquin Phoenix
Looks like Joaquin Phoenix has decided that the Oscar race is not “the stupidest thing in the world” and that he wants a golden trophy after all.
Joaquin Phoenix
Joaquin Phoenix
Sounds like Tommy Lee Jones.
Has to be Joaquin.
Robert DeNiro.
Bradley Cooper?
David O. Russell?
Haven’t seen pics or interviews to back it up yet but I guess Joquin Phoenix
joaqin phoenix
joaquin phoenix?
laughing at the thought that it might be Robert Deniro but my 1st choice is Joaquin Phoenix
Tim Burton
Denzel? But he already has an Oscar.
Hmmm … Joaquin Phoenix, who seems to be trying to get over his eccentric past?
Joaquin Phoenix?
Joaquin Phoenix.
Joaquim Phoenix? Though it seems unlikely he would say he’d turn around and want to suck up to the press “next time.”
Maybe Alan Arkin. Whom I love and I wish he’d win everything.
Joaquin Phoenix
BCoop
Wanna say Bradley cooper only bc of the picture. Makes me think of “The Words” but he seems social and chatty. So Philip Seymour Hoffman??
This is made to sound like it’s about Joaquin, but I doubt it. He literally does not give two s**ts about awards.
I’m going to say Hugh J for the fact that the guy in the pic looks like the he is singing.
Agree!
Joaquin Pheonix
Steven Speilberg
I’m torn because I think that’ it’s Joaquin as well but I haven’t seen any interviews to back that up.
Bradley already plays the Hollywood game for sure. He’s Robert Deniro’s protege now so he’s in.
I just can’t see them caring enough to actually want an Oscar. I guess to get the recognition but these actors already know they have that so I’m torn.
It’s gotta be someone who isn’t already established. Denzel and Philip Seymour Hoffman both have 2 Oscars each, I think. DeNiro’s out. My guess is Alan Arkin or Joaquin Phoenix. It seems like something a disgruntled Joaquin would say, although I have to wonder, for someone so anti-Oscar, why does he even show up??
The blind doesn’t say the guy was nominated in an acting category… I’m not sure I see any of them truly fitting this blind anyway. I’ll co-sign the Tim Burton guess.
Actually, the BI doesn’t say “actor,” does it? Could this be David O. Russell, who lost in both the Screenplay and Directing categories? He will probably have his Bale/Renner/Cooper/Adams ABSCAM movie in Oscar contention next year, hence why he’d say he’s going to start sucking up to people now.
Has to be Phillip Seymour hoffman
I am on board with this guess.
