 Re: WOKJ Motion Picture Awards - Categories clarification
Should everyone in The Place Beyond the Pines be categorized as supporting?

 Re: WOKJ Motion Picture Awards - Categories clarification
The Weinstein Company has promoted Steve Coogan as a supporting actor in Philomena, but I believe this borders on category fraud. I would say he is a co-lead alongside Judi Dench.

 Re: WOKJ Motion Picture Awards - Categories clarification
Aren't the comedy and horror categories entirely open?

 Re: WOKJ Motion Picture Awards - Categories clarification
I am surprised you are not championing This Is the End.

 Re: WOKJ Motion Picture Awards - Categories clarification
Will Forte in Nebraska - supporting or lead? I am leaning strongly towards lead.

I understand why Paramount has positioned him otherwise (so as to not compete with Bruce Dern and because the lead category is often far more competitive), but I do not believe it reflects the actual content of the film. In my opinion, Stacy Keach and Bob Odenkirk are the main supporting actors in Nebraska.

 Re: WOKJ Motion Picture Awards - Categories clarification
Lead it is, then.
What about Matthew McConaughey in Mud?

 Re: WOKJ Motion Picture Awards - Categories clarification
Supporting, in my opinion. Tye Sheridan is the lead.

 Re: WOKJ Motion Picture Awards - Categories clarification
 Here's all the proof you need. 1. Huge McConaughey image on the poster. 2. First name in the list of names: McConaughey. 3. Quote saying how fantastic McConaughey's performance is. 4. The films' title is McConaughey's character name. 5. The plot revolves around McConaughey. He's the fugitive that the police are trying to catch. The boys are merely a vehicle for us to meet McConaughey. 6. Everything that happens in the film is because of what McConaughey wants or needs. If it wasn't Sheridan, it would be some other schmuck. But McConaughey would remain. He's the point of the whole film.

 Re: WOKJ Motion Picture Awards - Categories clarification
The poster is of almost no significance. Of course it will focus on the A-list male star.
But the film itself, in my opinion, is Ellis' (Tye Sheridan) story first and foremost. McConaughey's Mud is an adult influence, a type of beacon, during his coming-of-age summer, similar to the function of the slave Jim in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
This is just my two cents. The film's fans should just include him where they see fit.

 Re: WOKJ Motion Picture Awards - Categories clarification
As it is, Mud will only feature in the Best Breakthrough of the Year category for me, so it's not going to bother me too much where you decide he best be placed.

 Re: WOKJ Motion Picture Awards - Categories clarification
Lecter, can I include Only God Forgives in the Foreign-language category? There's a lot of Thai in there.
