John Goodman?!

I'm no fan of Russell Crowe and even I think that's mean lol.He's the Naomi Watts of this category.
LOL, this movie is going to be ridiculous.
And Crowe is out at this point.

I hope you've pinned your wig, because crazyfists is coming for it.
I doubt AMPAS members take a look at those websites. A-List? Magic Mike was like the biggest box office hit he had in a while and he wasn't even the lead.I'm so sick of hearing about how "uncomfortable" Magic Mike is going to be for voters. This isn't Shame. It's far more of a Boogie Nights (look! a film that got two supporting nominations!). Have the people dismissing McConaughey actually seen the film? I mean, it's a hit, he's an A-lister turning his career around by starring in like 8,000 movies this year, he won NYFCC, and WB is pushing him hard (look at WB's FYC site... the only person even being featured on Magic Mike's page is McConaughey... the Argo one has a rotation of all 50 supporting actors in the film).
Not to mention his NBR win and WAFCA nod. I know it's still early, but Waltz only has a runner-up mention at NYFCC, and Jackson nothing. Look at the NBR stats: the last two NBR winners to not get nominated were Hoffman in '99 and Alda in '89. Harvey Weinstein, of all people, isn't going to fuck this up.
OMG.
Fuck it. He can have it.
Wait, are you saying Matthew McConaughey is not A-list?
Um, the website only proves that McConaughey is Warner Brother's main push for the film...
Academy members don't have to look at it! WTF. I'm sorry, but
Uh, FYC sites are specifically for awards bodies.

How do you define A-list? I thought those who were A-List got to pick the best roles in the industry to others it might mean box office success, but since MM does not have any of those I suppose A-LIST means well known, person that appears on a lot of gossip magazines?
Matthew McConaughey is an A-lister because he is a famous movie star, not because of his BO numbers. Like, Sam Worthington is the star of the highest grossing film of all time and no one would say he's A-list.
I was right about "Les Mis" not living up to expectations and I didn't stick to it in the end, so I'll stick by this prediction for now. Until I see him doing damage at the major precursors I will refrain from predicting him; I mean even the pundits doubt him despite the NYFCC win so that has to count for something (they're supposed to be the experts).

Key words being, "supposed to be."
A-List is fame plus box office numbers. When you think of Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Leonardo Dicaprio, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise.
Also, this i apparently the one Magic Mike FYC ad that's been run so far.Um, the website only proves that McConaughey is Warner Brother's main push for the film...

I mean, c'mon. They're obviously going for this all-out.

Matthew McConaughey is about as "A-list" as Gerard Butler. And Butler's career right now is very similar to Matt's before he decided he wanted to be taken seriously.
Famous Actor does not equal A-list, otherwise there'd be hundreds of "A-listers". Ewan Mcgregor is very famous and often plays the lead in movies, and I'd argue that he's only barely considered B-list.
While Matt's career make-over is admirable, he's pretty much always been a long term B-lister. Never taken that seriously as an actor, nor considered a consistent enough box office draw. But he had enough fame and box office success to be at least considered B-list.
Cremated. Dead. Scattered my ashes all over Australia.Fuck it. He can have it.
No, he's A-list because he's a famous movie star and is a household name. That's what A-list is.
LMAO to all of this. How much did Butler's new movie open with this weekend, btw?
awful 2 million opening day. He is starring in alot of flops as of late,I suppose it's the Jessica Biel factor.
