The Lumbys: Acting Nominations

Before I unveil the acting nominations let me describe the nominating process. To be eligible an actor or actress needed to be in a movie I actually saw, which disqualified contenders like Jeff Bridges or Colin Firth. Secondly, I tried to imagine if any other actor or actress could have played that role. You'll also notice that the female nominations may be weaker, and that stems from the fact hollywood doesn't give women platforms to shine (basically I don't want to seem sexist).
Finally, these nominations are not static and this is a fluid process. If you want to suggest someone i left off or think there is a movie i must see before the big night (TBA), I will consider your suggestions, especially since I'm weak on leading actresses.


For now, though, let's see the nominees...
