The more I think about it, the less sense it makes. No disrespect meant to him, but Tony Hopkins is a legend on a level Boseman was nowhere close to. At least Heath Ledger had Brokeback Mountain before The Dark Knight - what did Boseman have of similar note prior to joining the MCU?

What a mess. Anyway an actor who was in Black Panther did win an Oscar so yay?

Anthony Hopkins, fine.

What happened to Boseman was undoubtedly tragic, but he kind of did die by natural causes in contrast to Ledger's death from overdosing on sleeping pills. Bill Paxton is a million times more a legend than Boseman will ever be.

Yeah I'm biased because Hopkins's performance as Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs is one of my all-time favorites so I'm a big fan of his.

Because Boseman was a really good actor and he had been winning awards leading up to the Oscars. Don't know why you feel the need to dump on his career like this.

More a dump on the Academy for moving the Best Actor category to end the night. Nothing against Boseman himself.

More meant to point out that he was just not as big a deal as someone like Heath Ledger, but I apologize if I came across as dumping on him.

But it's like, would most people consider Chris Hemsworth or Chris Evans to be particularly big names? I sure wouldn't.

The media just had it in their mind that dying was a sure way to get a Sympathy Oscar even though there's no evidence of that historically, and the two other posthmous winners probably would have won anyway.

The two others were Peter Finch and Heath Ledger, right?

Ledger might have still won if he was alive as consolation for Brokeback Mountain.

I will still contend that less than 50% of Americans could tell you who Chadwick Bosman or the Chrises are. They are not tier 1 celebs (Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Tom Cruise, etc.) or even tier 2 (RDJ, Jennifer Aniston, etc.).

But anyway, I came here mostly to lmao at saying "Tony Hopkins" like you're old pals.

Probably tier 2 for those reasons you listed

Tier 1 is where old people say "that [actor] movie" instead of the title or IP

The mcu is more real cinema than any Star Wars movie after The Return of the Jedi. Prove me wrong.

He didn't have a single role as acclaimed as Brokeback, sure, but his turns as Jackie Robinson and James Brown and Thurgood Marshall were very well received and had critics calling him the Next Big Thing. Then he actually DID become the Big Thing by headlining one of the most successful films in US history. Then he took time away from that role to be sensational in both Ma Rainey and 5 Bloods last year.

So I completely disagree and think he both would have been in the Oscar mix without dying, and it was reasonable to consider him a big favorite for the award.

I don't think you get how insanely big the MCU movies actually are.

Putting this a different way, do you think over half of Americans know who Mufasa and Simba are?
No.

And regardless, we are talking about the actors, not the characters. Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher were never A-listers after Star Wars either.

I know our board is primarily comprised of bad fringe takes, but it's nice to see that even the disparate masses can come together under the banner of LMS having the most universally nonsensical bullshit takes. I think it means that I'm not too far gone yet.
