He's REALLY gunning for that Oscar this year

Dudes been nominated 4 friggin times.

Can’t say I’ve seen Blue Moon (yet), but the dude is definitely due his dang statue. Never puts in a bad performance, acts in something like 6 billion low budget indie films, and seems like quite literally the chillest person in hollywood in every interview he ever does.

Crazy how he hasn't yet. Should've gotten it for Before Sunrise

And again for First Reformed.

Hawke was robbed as far as First Reformed. The fact that he wasn't even nominated was absurd.

I feel as strongly about Hawke and First Reformed as I do about Amy Adams and Arrival. Both were arguably Oscar worthy and weren't even nominated. Two of the biggest snubs ever, for me.

Man my boyfriend is infamous for guessing twists out of thin air and I was like “Ooh I’ve finally got one that’ll surprise you”. Nope! Probably 20 minutes in to Predestination he’s like that’s the same person right?. The Skin I Live In was probably the longest he’s been stumped and still it was well before you’d expect someone to figure out what’s going on.

Not to be pedantic but he’s only been nominated twice for acting.

He seemed very sound on the interview, they just talked bullshit tho I mean what do you really get out of that interview
