The Oscars can be said to be the film Nobel, which not only honors those who have contributed to the film, but also serves as a weather vane for the world's cultural trends. The character of john is very dark, some of them are perverted and distorted emotions, and they can't express any positive energy. The only thing they show is the distorted personality of dave's "love you to kill you". This is equivalent to awarding an award to a murderer in recognition of his love of killing, which will definitely not be affirmed by the academy.
And the standard for the role that the Academy affirms is actually quite simple. Your character can be perverted and the ending can be as tragic as it is tragic, but there must be a pursuit and dedication to some other things that can be discussed, criticized and debated.
But it's not reflected in the role, and what patriotism is shown in those films is actually just an excuse. His pursuit and persistence are only what others think of him, this selfish behavior. The role is of course very successful but will not be recognized by the Academy.
Channing Tatum's character Mark, the starting point is the pursuit of his dream, you can say that this is also a selfish behavior, but the pursuit of the dream itself is not wrong, but the final result fell into degeneration. This is what can be discussed and criticized and debated. So this character is Oscar's favorite subject.
And Mark Ruffalo's role dave, although the plot is small, but this role is for Oscar. Rich in human nature, can cry and laugh. Colleges like that.
So in terms of this movie to rank their Oscar odds, I think it should be Mark Ruffalo > Channing Tatum > > > Steve Carell.
In addition, the many school shootings that happened last year were not trivial in the nature of revenge. They were all tragedies caused by trivial matters, which coincided with this film. The college's chances of voting for Steve Carell in this atmosphere should also be lower.
