TMNT movie Nominees/Awards thread - Page 3

Dave: I wouldn't call her "talentless". I mean, as far as acting standards for women of the era she was perfectly fine. She was definitely a media creation but at the very least she had the charisma to pull it off. Even in her day, there were dozens of chicks who were hotter or better actors, but she got to be "THE Star" because she did have the "It Factor". You can't buy it or teach it or learn it, that's ultimately why she got to be so renowned while a bunch of other chicks sat at home. I mean, yeah, all that other stuff happened, too, but it also happens every day to hundreds of chicks who DON'T go on to have their own postage stamp. Just to give credit where it's due.

I thank The Maker every day for the "It Factor", because most days I'm pretty sure that's ALL I got... but it'll take ya places, lemme tell ya...

~~Davetello~~ · 01-04-2015, 08:06 PM

"Charisma" is just a vague, meaningless term. It roughly translates as someone being a pr!ck and hence attracting fellow muppets who also think it's cool to be a pri!ck.

~~Leo656~~ · 01-04-2015, 08:07 PM

SHHHHHHHHHHH! I got 8x10s to sell, ya nitz. Blow my cover nobody'll buy 'em.

~~Davetello~~ · 01-04-2015, 08:15 PM

Not everyone's perceptive as me. I'm gonna go heel and start belittling your posts

*NinjaPug* · 01-14-2015, 03:09 PM

And the Razzie nominations are in. TMNT got a nomination for every category it was in contention for.

WORST Picture
WORST Director
WORST Screenplay
WORST Remake, Sequel or Ripoff
WORST Supporting Actress - Megan Fox

Truly deserving.

LeoRaph · 01-14-2015, 03:41 PM

She still should have got leading actress, it was her movie (shouldn't have been but it was), she had the most screentime, the story was written around her, it was ALL about her

Something don't smell right here, if you ask me it looks like someone's protecting her...as there are a few worse actresses in the supporting category who will win it over her but if she was nominated as the lead, if you compare her to the other leads she would definitely win 100%

That's right a double grumble because this is Bullsh!t, plain and simple...

~~Leo656~~ · 01-14-2015, 08:20 PM

I really don't get that. If she was the "supporting" actress, who was the LEAD actress? F***in' Whoopi? Megan was The Star of the movie, indisputably.

Someone definitely called in a favor to get her name moved to the "Supporting Actress" category, so she wouldn't have to "suffer the embarrassment." There's literally No other explanation.

Indisputably, and yet there it is...She's listed as supporting actress. Like I've said all along, she was not the main protagonist. The Turtles are the main focus of the movie and she's just kind of there...and she's barely there the last half of the movie.

*Galactus* · 01-15-2015, 07:22 PM

^^^

She got the most screen time by far. Even when the movie gets to the turtles she's always present and doing something to pull focus.

It's also her story. Trying to prove herself a serious reporter, trying to uncover what happened to her father and his work as well as the subplot of Vern having the horn for her.

Take the turtles, Splinter and Shredder out and there's still a (bad) narrative there. Take April out and there's just battle scenes without purpose and even then April is not only present for those same action scenes but delivers the finishing blow.

B-Man · 01-15-2015, 07:42 PM

They probably didn't even watch it lol seriously. The president of the Razzies (forgot his name) said years back "most of the films we nominate don't even deserve a viewing"

It's just high-profile trolling & they're pretty open about it.

So... because the Razzies list her as a "supporting actress", that completely removes the fact that she got the bulk of screen time AND was the only reason the entire movie's plot happened? You may need to take some writing classes and figure out just what defines a "main protagonist".

In short, it's the character who makes the movie/story happen. Which is April. April O'Neil is the main character of this movie. Far more than just the "viewer's eyes", she is the sole reason anything in the movie happens at all, right down to landing the final blow on the villain.

The Turtles were much more "just kind of there". Side characters in their own movie.

I get that you like the movie but you can't redefine what words mean to suit your definition. April is the Protagonist. Thus, Fox should have been listed as simply "Worst Actress", but as others have suggested, they either made up the awards without seeing the movie OR Fox or someone close to her made a nasty phone call, since "Worst Supporting Actress" wouldn't look as bad on her future resume. I can believe either.

LeoRaph · 01-17-2015, 06:23 PM

I think the fact Fox was nominated for Worst Actress in Jonah Hex and Revenge of The Fallen where she WAS a supporting Actress with a large part and Not Nominated for Worst Actress when she Actually Was The Lead with a large Part AND every character was connected to her in some way says something about either theory. Not to Mention She Was Nominated Twice for Worst Actress in One Year where One Actually Was a Lead in Jennifer's Body. So 3 Nominations for Worst Actress Yet All of a Sudden a Supporting Actress...

The thing which confirms the latter for me is her competition for worst actress this year:

Gaia Weiss -The Legend of Hercules
Drew Barrymore - Blended
Melissa McCarthy -Tammy
Cameron Diaz -The Other Woman, Sex Tape
Charlize Theron -A Million Ways to Die in the West

You Put Fox in That Mix and I can't See How She Could Possibly Lose...

*The Boston Ninja Turtle* · 01-17-2015, 06:24 PM

I could see both theories happening....because like many said its clear she is the main actress...the movie begins and ends with her..she is the reason from their names to love of Pizza

Corporate nominations are corporate

*IndigoErth* · 02-20-2015, 03:40 PM

Best actress huh? Well there's a nomination by association if I ever saw one.

Too bad the Turtles' actors probably wouldn't get much recognition. So they, and in a way the Turtles through them, get the recognition as the lead roles.

(Razzies are picked tomorrow, right? That's the one I'm looking forward to.

)

*Refractive Reflections* · 02-20-2015, 04:20 PM

It's hilarious how this thread is titled, making one to think that some type of grand honor is being bestowed on this film, when the Razzies are the main highlighted nominations of this film.

So besides the Nick Kids Choice Awards and that one score nomination for the Oscars, does this movie have any other nominations?

Thanks Jester.

**Reads the webpage**
Hmmm...So there are 2 nominations from the "International 3D & Advanced Imaging Society's Creative Arts Awards": "3D Feature - Live Action" and "Outstanding Use of 2D to 3D Conversion". (I can't find the other nominees for those two categories.)

Uh...so for any of you who watched the film, do you think visually the film deserves it? (I guess the movie had to be visually spectacular, in relation to 3D imagery, despite however good or bad the writing, direction, and acting were since this is an action film.)
