Should Megan Fox be nominated for Oscar award?

She might not be a super woman like Black Widow, Alice from Resident Evil or a gun blazing woman like Angelina Jolie; but she portrays a very relateable and inspiring reporter/woman figure. She worked hard on this role and pouring her heart into it. As April, she's attractive, but she wasn't vain or arrogant, instead she's very humble.

She's determined, really driven to get to the truth. And she's got a reckless streak in her. Despite being a hostage, she still wanted to take video/pic using her phone to cover a story, risking her own life. (SPOILER) She managed to land an attack on Shredder using a sai to his back during the sewer lair invasion. And in the final climax, eventhough she's hundreds of feet tall hanging to a building piece, she risked her life to boot the Shredder to his demise.

Getting an Oscar is a bit of a stretch, but I just wanted to highlight how captivating and mesmerizing her performance was in this film. :P Truly, Megan was one of the highlights of the movie. I can't take my eyes off her, it probably feels just like Heath Ledge's Joker from The Dark Knight.

To whoever did the costume for Megan - that yellow jacket reminiscent of the OT April jumpsuit, truly was a stroke of genius. She simply looks stunning in it.

[Warhorse]

Never going to happen. She'd probably have to play a mute like in The Piano to be even considered a Globe, much less an oscar.

[Bry]

What? No. No. No. No way. Zero chance. She brought almost zero emotion to her role. This was probably her best performance yet, but that ain't saying much.

This, on the other hand? Far more likely.

Megan Fox is only good for her boobs. The rest of her can shove it.

[Leo656]

I'unno, her ass and her calves are a'ight, too. She'd get it.

And that's different from every other dated reference I make... how...? 8) Those six people are my entire "audience".

[Warhorse]

We could be. I've noticed, there isn't too much threads talking about "How cool was that sh!t" and "my favorite quotes were this" and "well, my favorite Leo, Raph, Donny, Mikey scene is so on and so on".

For a movie getting a lot of love, it's not really showing it except, wow, it made 60 million plus on opening weekend.

And Leo, I got it.

[Leo656]

I know ya did, you're one'a the good ones. ;)

[Slade]

Why thank you sir :lol:

[Cascadia]

Megan Fox might have been alright in the new TMNT movie but she was not spectacular in it. So, I do not think she deserves to be nominated for an Oscar.

[Leo656]

There wouldn't be any justice in the world if Megan Fox had an Oscar and Emilio Estevez didn't. I just wouldn't wanna live anymore.

Yeah, that's actually depressing when you think about it. This movie is so forgettable.

[Warhorse]

Yeah, that's actually depressing when you think about it. This movie is so forgettable.

It's like that everywhere, IMDb, superherohype, and some other forums I visit. Geeze, at least when the 2007 movie came out, we had a freaking year debating the Leo vs Raph fight! This movie, I just can't think of anything that really stood out for me to get excited about.

[ScrewtheMirageTMNT]

Meh, the movie is still fresh in my mind.

[Warhorse]

Meh, the movie is still fresh in my mind.

Oh yeah, why don't you start a thread so we can see! Most TMNT movies and shows tend to have fans getting really psycological with what happens to the boys in the movies and TV shows, or, they like to discect how an action scene went down (hey, Mikey totally used his acrobatics here) or (this is how strong Raph is, he can pick up Leo, Vern and April single handedly) Stuff like this shows just how good the movie really is to fans instead of just saying, hey, I think it's the best, and the box office proves it! Yay!

[Slade]

That's the stuff I want to read too.

[IndigoErth]

The fact that this thread exists is both sad and hilarious.
Sadarious?

Meh, give them to the Turtles actors and model artists. The Turtles are the stars of this stuff, it should go to them, but since it can't it goes to those who brought them to life.

[arkangel]

You guyzzz... So f'n harsh. :lol:
I don't see this as a troll thread at all. While Megan Fox is not Oscar material by any stretch of the imagination, I could honestly see a difference in how she approached this movie compared to her past performances.
Aside from the gratuitous booty shot (thank you Michael Bay), she didn't come across like "look at me. I'm such a babe and you all know it"
No "Kristen Stuart face" during the movie like she's all that or above the material, no leaning over a motorcycle to show off the goods, no excessive cleavage.
I think she did a decent job with the material she was given. She was emotive and showing earnest in her performance and I for one found this a refreshing change from the crap she's churned out in the past. Maybe she's at a point in her life where she wants to be a more serious actor and actually be remembered for more than her looks?
So there!! :P ...... (dodges 38 tomatoes.)

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

"Megan Fox"

and

"Oscar"...

What if she ****s a dude named Oscar?

[Leo656]

If she didn't want to be known for her looks, she wouldn't have spent more money getting her face redone than some people make in a year. Just sayin'.

What if she ****s a dude named Oscar?
:lol: I wanted to say something like that, but didn't. Nice job.

Calm the **** down, to me it sounds like this comment of mine that you responded to is invalid just cause you aren't happy about how a bunch of people aren't discussing how good the movie is. Me honestly still remembering the new tmnt movie=me being full of ****
Got it. :roll:

[Electric]

i mean honestly this is the technodrome. there were some positive threads, i remember one being "shocking fans by how good it is" but what happens is everyone with negative opinions jumps in the thread, turning it into all negatives. then they do the same with the negative threads. eventually every thread turns into the same exact discussions.

if i started a thread saying "favorite scenes from the movie" or "best lines from the movie" what would happen is people would come and post, then others would post back, saying how that scene was awful, or didnt make sense, or how they couldnt think of a favorite line because all they could think about was this bad line.

theres no way to have postive discussion because people just counter with the negatives. and to be fair, negatives have been countered with postives too. but to judge how people like it based on negative threads isnt accurate at all, because there are a some individual voices that are dominating a lot of these threads.

not intentionally trying to insult anyone, but this is how i see it


now honestly, i liked megan as april. i never once felt she lacked emotion, liked her characterization, and think her acting was just fine.

oscar worthy? nah, but still good

[Warhorse]

Calm the **** down, to me it sounds like this comment of mine that you responded to is invalid just cause you aren't happy about how a bunch of people aren't discussing how good the movie is.

How? And my statement is true, the fans are not out there, no where telling what was so good about this movie! "It's awesome and the best" is just as bad as "It's awful and it sucks" when there is no context behind the claims. Right now, it seems the cons have far more arson to their claims than the pros, since you guys can't even praise what was so good about the movie except, wow, it made bank at the BO.

well to be fair, right now, most of your claims are completely based off opinions or personal preference. i could go into why this movie was good based on my opinions, and thats just as supported as yours

Are you ****ing stupid? why would you even ask a question like that. She is a terrible actor. I loved the new TMNT movie but jesus christ she is bad

[arkangel]

You're asking someone if they are stupid, because their opinion differs than yours? I don't think she's a great actress either, but I do think it's one of HER best performances.
Here's a good rule of thumb.. Don't say things online that you wouldn't say in conversation with someone face to face. And if you really talk to people like this you don't deserve to be in anyone's conversation, online OR in person. Try and be an adult.

[ScrewtheMirageTMNT]

Meh, she is better than a lot of these new comer actors and actresses that I have never ever heard of before and who I give zero ****s about. She's good but not in a deserving of an oscar kind of way.

[Warhorse]

Then do it! Sh!t, I just got done watching Black Nerd, he was able to say stuff he likes, get excited about it, and then say stuff he didn't like, and go into detail.

Hey, I'll go first, I'm actually one of the more adaptable posters on this forum. I really got a kick out of Mikey's Snapping Turtle scene, Raph busting out of the van, Raph yelling at Mikey "we can still hear you!" Donny's line to April after she was ranting "Mutant Ninja Turtle Teenagers", "Well, when you put it that way, it sounds ridiculous" And I loved it when Leo grabbed his sword and threw it like a big dagger.

[pennydreadful]

I... no. Just no.

Hillary Swank's performance in Boys Don't Cry is Oscar-worthy. Megan handing in an acceptable performance as the audience POV character in a summer action flick... not so much.

[Leo656]

Hilary Swank's f***ing abs in "The Next Karate Kid" were Oscar-Worthy.

[pennydreadful]

Hillary Swank's everything is Oscar-worthy. :P

I liked that movie as a kid. Haven't seen it in years.

I'm kind of scared to go back and re-watch it.

You shouldn't be - fear is the mind killer... the little death. ;)

Seriously though, I love it... and hey, it doesn't have Will Smith's kid in it, so how bad could a revisit be, really. :P

I was hoping to go see TMNT again tonight, but I'm not sure my body will handle 2 hrs in a theatre seat. Pulled my back, kinked my neck, and twisted my ankle doing the "Megan Fox" with the girlfriend last night. What the hell was I thinking?? That's a young guys move.... :ohwell:

dumbest thread ever

[Warhorse]

The only chance she has at getting an oscar nom, would be if she played a mute.

[Xiewin]

No, never.


Megan Fox can't act. I could see that she was at-least trying, but she still wasn't anywhere near good or great. All the surgeries she had ruined her face. From what I've seen, I personality think she cannot emote well, She always looks so stiff. And her voice, I feel like she unable to project her voice well, its always in this low monotone, and it's just annoying to listen too. I miss how she looked in the first transformers, now she looks of nothing but plastic.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

Not in a million years.

[Tazi]

No worries... if she changes career, she could still get a porn-oscar. ;)

[TurtleTitan97]

No way in heck is that ever going to happen.

[Coola Yagami]

I love Megan Fox, and yeah I think she's hot and all.... but no. Even I have to admit she's not Oscar-worthy.

[IndigoErth]

The girl can't even get beyond a few select facial expressions (though maybe a "few" is counting more than there are), Oscars are more worthy to actors who can capture the whole concept of acting. (Like, say, the guys in the mocap suits.)

[fridaynightdestination]

Uh, no. I mean, she wasn't bad, but nowhere near Oscar nominated.

[sdp]

Man, this section of the forum is f*cking retarded and most people who post here, whether new users or veterans alike. No, Megan Fox is not worthy of an Oscar, and no her acting was not the worst thing ever in the world. Jeeze. Everyone either hates or loves the movie with no in between, it's Nintendo vs Sony/MS level of fanboyism, I remember reading posts about how they loved the movie or hated it without even have seen the movie.

Personally I thought she was bearable. Even good, possibly. But nothing beyond that. I stand by my belief that there were much, much better options to play April, but she was certainly better than I was expecting.

[Coola Yagami]

Come to to think of it.... I don't think anyone portraying April O'Neil is oscar worthy. April just isn't that dramatic of a character that demands such a strong powerful emotional performance. I'd much assume anyone portraying April that won an oscar would be over their performance in some other movie.

I mean it's not like keno and Danny were nominated for oscars.

Probably true. I think the people behind the Oscar nominations generally stay away from these movies altogether. But, Oscar or not, I would have liked to see someone else as April. Fox did relatively well with what she was given (which wasn't much), but still.

[Coola Yagami]

If anything I at least like the fact that they kept the fact that April always wanted to cover dangerous stories but her boss wants her to cover normal boring stories and interviews. They at least kept that right.

[Gunpowder]

Yeah that's something I noticed. And they didn't give her the damsel in distress role, which is also good. So they did get a few things right. I just wish those things didn't come at the expense of giving the Turtles less screen time. :trolleye:

Rofl. Yeah. Plus they totally screwed up Vernon. I understand of they wanted to tone down the cowardice. But it woulda been more entertaining to see Vernon kiss the boss' ass and try to steal Aprils story than his pitiful attempts to tap some April.

[Gunpowder]

That would've made things interesting for sure. And about him trying to flirt with April...that was the funniest thing ever. Not in a good way. :lol: The first thing that comes to mind is when she calls him from a pay phone and he somehow knows it's her. And then assumes she wants him. Funny stuff.

She's probably the only one that talks to him at Channel 6. LOL

Come to think of it, I can't imagine Vernon being too well loved at Channel 6 in the old show too... thought it looked like only 4 or 5 people worked there. =)

Also... why did the 1990 movie call it Channel 3? It looked like a pointless change.
