Oscar Yelling

[Blind Gossip] The Academy Award nominations came out this morning!

Of course everyone associated with any movie or person who was nominated for anything is happy and thrilled and honored and proud.

Well, except for this guy.

The film got a nom, but he didn’t get one for directing. He was yelling in the phone, “That’s MY film! How is that even possible?! How is that even possible?!”

Oh, it’s possible.

He’s not dumb, though. He’ll definitely put the happy-thrilled-honored-proud message out there in public about the film getting a nomination.

He absolutely wanted that directing nomination, though!

  6. This has got to be Bradley Cooper from “A Star is Born”. I was trying to explain the plot to my husband this morning. His comment was, ” and THIS is the story that’s been remade 3 times?”.

  7. Bradley Cooper
    A Star Is Born

    surprised Timmy Chalamet was snubbed, I thought If Beale Street Could Talk would be more appreciated, the mr rodgers doc not nominated was kinda shocking,

    Bohemian Rhapsody & Fox deserve NOTHING for enabling Bryan Singer for YEARS. That film’s success = Bryan Singer’s career’s success. Disgusting, ppl who stan BR can go choke.

  20. Bradley Cooper/A Star Is Born

    No offense but he should get over himself. He made a remake of a remake of a remake. Nothing special.

  26. Bradley Cooper

    I was shocked too! That’s HIS movie. It got best picture nominated but not best director?

  31. Director/Movie: Bradley Cooper for A Star is Born.

    I was surprised that he didn’t get a nod since he was favored. But it was his first time directing so I’m not sure why he thought he deserved a nod so badly. The other directors in the category have been directing for years.

  32. Not gonna lie, I thought Bradley would get the Best Director nomination. Also, I was a bit surprised that Timothee Chalamet was snubbed for Best Supporting Actor considering he got pretty much all the other important nominations.

    I’m really hoping for Roma and The Favourite to win! Nice to see Yalitza earn a nomination.

  35. Easy- Bradley Cooper. He should be feeling very lucky. I honestly do not understand the hype around this film. I saw it and thought it was okay at best. I don’t get the praise, nominations etc especially when compared to something like The Favourite.

  37. The Academy is FINALLY getting out of its self-worshiping fishbowl of irrelevance taking Netflix, foreign films, and superhero films seriously. And while Cooper won 2 Directing awards from the Director’s guild, that actually surprised me b/c all the reviews of ASIB said the story/movie was ok but that acting made the movie shine – the acting is what drove the movie’s success. And that is what the Academy seems to have recognized with the Best Picture & Best Actor/Actress noms.

  38. I’m sure that most people are thinking that it’s Bradley Cooper, but it’s more like that it’s Bryan Singer. Bryan was pretty much thanking himself on Twitter or Instagram for Bohemian Rhapsody winning a Golden Globe.

  59. Is Bradley Cooper really not happy about ASIB getting 7 nominations?
    I mean, I really liked the movie but I just cannot understand how it got SEVEN nominations, including Bradley as best actor in a leading role.
    Clearly some people are overambitious af.

  63. Bradley Cooper, for sure. That was a shot to the jaw for all of the predictions; its gotta sting. He should have gotten the Adam McKay spot (kudos for the rest of the nominees).

  71. Bradley Cooper-A Star Is Born……other than best original song, I highly doubt that this movie is going to win any Oscars

  72. Director/Movie: Aaaahaha well hello Mr. Bradley Cooper/A Star is Born! How about you be grateful for the Oscar nod you actually did get instead…

  73. This is easy, Bradley Cooper, Star is born was nominated and he was nominated too but as actor not as director.

  76. This has to be Bradley Cooper for A Star is Born. I’ve seen only 3 of the movies in the Best Pic category, and I meant to see Vice and Bohemian Rhapsody. The Favourite was probably my fave. And I think the director def deserves the Oscar.
    ASIB had moments of strange editing, so I’m not surprised.

  77. There are 4 movies nominated for Best Picture whose director was not nominated: Black Panther, Green Book, Bohemian Rhapsody and A Star is Born. With 8 nominees for Best Picture, there will be directors whose movies are nominated for best picture who don’t get a director nomination, as the category is limited to five. (The fifth, Pawel Pawlikowski, was nominated for “Cold War”, which did not get a best picture nomination). I hope it isn’t Bradley Cooper. I really like A Star is Born.

  85. Bradley Cooper/A Star Is Born?

    He did get the nom for Acting, so he should still be happy. I truthfully think A Star Is Born is going to be one of those films people look back on in 5 years and think “Was it -really- that good that it was Oscar Nominated?”

  91. Bradley Cooper should have been nominated for directing A Star is Born. It was an achievement and beyond his tradional acting role. Just like Ben Affleck and Argo. It isn’t fair that directors of two little seen foreign films made the cut and Cooper did not.

  92. Bradley Cooper.
    Jesus, he’s so pretentious. You’re not that talanted. Actor nomination is enough.

  93. B Coop, a star is born. Maybe the academy thought this movie has been made too many times or maybe they hate him

  98. Bradley Cooper
    A Star is Born

    Optional: I was disappointed that Crazy Rich Asians was not nominated for anything. I also thought Green Book might be out since the pianist’s family has spoken out against the film.
