Cooper’s Oscar’s journey actually highlights an interesting conundrum for Hollywood actors: it is very much a part of their job to go out on the awards trail and try to convince everyone that their film – and they specifically – deserve to be rewarded. But, if they get a little too overzealous, it can lead to some pretty intense backlash. (There’s also the flipside that if they don’t promote themselves enough they can essentially get forgotten, passed over again and again even though everyone knows they’re incredibly talented.)
Let's take a look at why Bradley got hit with so much backlash, plus take a deeper look at the overall mystery of what it really takes to run an Oscars campaign (and why it’s kind of started turning people off of the Oscars all together...)

Bradley: "Notice me, notice me, notice me!"
Cillian: "Hey...Wow, I appreciate this. Thank you for noticing me, but really, let's focus on the film and the story..."

If you get 12 nominations, then you must get a lot of good roles. Cooper has established himself as an outstanding actor. He's got nothing to prove.

I think there's an extra layer of "desperation" with Bradley Cooper because he's (recently) been writing, directing, and starring in these movies with the singular aim of getting an Oscar. Everything in those movies' and their production revolves around him.
Leo was working with very talented directors on their projects, so even when he got snubbed, it didn't feel like the sole purpose of those movies existing was to get Leo an Oscar.

you're overcomplicating the issue here - the problem was that Maestro was a wholly uninteresting film, a character study that lacked any real character development. the film doesn't have much of a story, or any real conflict, even. Bernstein meets his wife but then fools around with men, and his wife is kind of okay with it. it's boring.

The whole film felt like a "for your consideration" reel. He's a talented man but he's currently making movies from an approach of "what will win me an award" vs making the actual storytelling the primary focus. That's why he couldnt compete with Chris Nolan and Cillian Murphy this year, they approached Oppenheimer with "how can we best tell the story of this man's impact" while Cooper approached Maestro with "how can I best showcase my talent for an Oscar". the intention comes through in the finished product. To put it simply - he's trying too hard and it shows.

Many actors have dwindled after winning the Oscar, while others who never won have the most spectacular careers and are remembered long after they pass.

Cillian Murphy isn't detached; he's simply an introvert who's not used to American style award campaigns, and needs his extrovert American(ized) colleagues to shore him up.

Sometimes I wish Bradley could go back to do the fun type of roles that he did in the Hangover movies, A Team, and Limitless

An Oscar nomination is already a recognition

a part of me is still not over Jake Gyllenhaal's Nightcrawler snub

You know who else is snubbed on the Oscar this year? The dog from Anatomy of a Fall.

People don’t realize that this year has to be the most powerful and competitive oscars in YEARS.

I honestly see Cooper winning like Denzel won for Training Day. It'll be for a movie that he elevates from being just a genre film. It will probably piss him off .

For the past 8 years or so, the academy voters seem to be getting away from the trend of awarding an actor because it’s their “turn.” It happened when Olivia Coleman beat out Glen Close.
It seems to feel like a lot of people, myself included, feel like Cooper made Maestro to get an Oscar rather than to tell a story.

Honestly Oppenheimer was just too strong a contender. CM was also amazing in it. So, in my mind it makes sense he won. No shade to BC, I'm sure he was amazing in Maestro, and it sounds like he put a lot of work into it. It's just unfortunate how much power not winning the Oscars can have over those nominated, especially if they've been nominated numerous times. I remember being surprised Nolan never won an Oscar until Oppenheimer, then I looked up Scorsese & Spielberg's Oscar wins/nominations and it's brutal.

It's really very simple Cillian had the best performance and he did not 🙄

Wait, he studied conducting for six years and yet all the conductors I have seen critiquing his conducting in the film say what he is doing is nonsense and would confuse an orchestra…. What he do during those six years?

His work as Rocket Racoon honestly deserves a nomination over some of his more Oscar-bait stuff, but because it's both a voiceover and a superhero film he never got his due. Incredible character that's more memorable than his bi-annual attempts to win.

My main problem with Maestro was there was no narrative structure, no indication of the pasaage of time, making it hard to keep up with. And the dialogue felt so forced and flat that it felt like a poorly written soap opera. Oscar bait of the highest level.

Honestly, Amy Adams winning will be the day.
