Open Letter to the Oscars: Don’t Forget These Great 2014 Performances
Rolling Stone's film critic has a message for Academy voters: Attention must be paid to the actors who did incredible work this year but aren't getting the buzz they deserve
Dear Academy Voters: I know you’ll be voting this week of which performances to nominate for an Oscar, and the lucky contenders will be announced to the public on January 15th. But I beg you, people — please don’t always play favorites. You get to nominate five actors in each category: Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress. There are at least four favorites in each category, but when you’re thinking outside the box, consider those performances that don’t deserve to slip through the cracks. Lift them up where they belong. You can do it. I know you can.
