Why Willem Dafoe Deserves an Oscar 

what’s your favorite willem dafoe film?

If the Academy doesn't nominate him, it's obvious they didn't like his lobster

It’s actually upsetting that he didn’t get a nomination

Ya know, I’m something of a contender for the Best Supporting Actor Of 2019 Oscar myself

"How long have I been waiting for an Oscar? Five weeks? Two days? Help me to recollect"

He always deserves an oscar. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HE SACFRIFICED?!?!?

Robert Pattinson deserves one too. Good time was snubbed big time.

Willem Dafoe should’ve gotten an Oscar for playing Jesus in “The Last Temptation of Christ,” and an Emmy for his appearance in an episode of “Fishing With John,” to top off a list of M A N Y reasons.

Dafoe is a spectacular actor, I enjoy every minute of every scene he is in. I was rooting for him so much last year, but I am so glad he is starting to be recognized amongst people as one of the great actors. Because unfortunately, most people remembered him from cheesy Spider-Man trilogy and most people I met found it hard to look beyond and see him as the great actor. But comments here went off about Leo playing the same guy in every movie. He is not here to defend himself lol, so let me - That's just horse shit, Leo is one of the greatest actors of our time. Just because his face is so iconic and easily recognizable does not mean he plays the same person in every movie. You cannot look at The Aviator, Shutter Island, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Revenant, Titanic or Django Unchained etc and say he is playing the same person, even with all of those films I think Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (for me) will remain as his best role. The range that guy has is beyond amazing.

*"You know, I'm something of a scientist myself."* *"Back to formula."* *"You know how much I sacrificed!"* *"Out am I!"* *"Jameson you slime"* *"You me, we're exceptional"* *"Think about it, hero!"* *"You're pathetically predictally, like a moth to the flame."* *"No one says no to me!"* *"First we attack his heart!"* *"Can Spider-Man come out to play."* *"The intsy bitsy spider went out the water spout, down came the goblin and took the spider out."* *"We are what we choose to be, now choose!"* *"It's time to die"* *"Missery missery missery that's what you've chosen."* *"I've offered friendship, and you spat in my face."* *"I'm gonma finish her, nice and slow."* *"MJ and I, we're gonna have a hell of a time"* *"Godspeed Spider-Man."* *"Oh."* *"Peter, don't tell Harry."* *"Avenge me, avenge me!* I swear DaFoe's Goblin has as much memeable lines as much as Palpatine and Thanos!

Willem Dafoe and Joaquin Phoenix both deserve an Oscar.

The Academy: doesn’t give Dafoe an Oscar. Dafoe: Damn ye! Let Neptune strike ye dead! HAAARK! Hark Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths full foul in his fury! Black waves teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs til’ ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more -- only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slitherin’ tentacle tail and steaming beard take up his fell be-finned arm, his coral-tine trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye -- a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now and nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself -- forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea, for any stuff for part of the Academy, even any scantling of your soul is the Academy no more, but is now itself the sea!

He wasn't even nominated for the Lighthouse, I was screaming at my phone in anger while reading the nominations

Why is nobody talking about Pattinson’s incredible performance in The Lighthouse? I feel like everyone is overlooking Pattinson’s performance for Dafoe’s performance, which is great too btw.

probably my favorite actor of all time. He’s so unique but fits into every role perfectly

You’re forgetting his iconic performance in Mr Bean’s Holiday (and the meta film showing at Cannes)

You know, I'm something of The Lighthouse (2019) myself.

Best Actor-Phoenix Best Supporting Actor-Dafoe

So... Best actor to Joaquin Phoenix and best supporting actor to Willem Dafoe

HE WAS ALSO IN JOHN WICK. CREAM OF THE CROP

Cannes is Karsten’s “So I was the Toronto International Film Festival and I saw some movies”

I love how most of his parts, aren’t even typecasts, but they end up feeling like it. He just embodies the role so well

Lots of people talk about phoenix's performance on 'Joker'. However, dafoe's performance was mindblowing. The best acting I've seen since jk simons on whiplash. Ironicaly, they're Both are spiderman's stars

You know, I'm somewhat of an Oscar winner myself.

He deserved an Oscars after i saw his performance as Carson Clay from Mr.Bean Holiday.

My heart was actually broken seeing his reaction to Robert saying he didn’t like his cooking.

He got SNUBBED and I'm pissed

The Lighthouse is literally one of the greatest movies of all time. Dafoe and Pattinson are absolutely incredible, the cinematography is flawless, and the writing and dialogue is spellbinding.

This might be the only film where every actor gets a best actor nomination.

Seein this in an hour, so hyped!

It’s nice to see a channel with this kind of content has so much personality and spontaneity! It’s nice to hear jokes and raw opinions like this, you got my sub

He deserved to win the Oscar for The Florida Project and At Heaven's Gate. And now with The Lighthouse.

Who’s here after the Academy snubbed Dafoe for Best Supporting Actor?

Dirty bubble directing- “Oh and make him eat dirt hmmm.....in addition to the...monologue thing?”

I’ve been keeping up with this film since you mentioned it in your blog on the Cannes Film Festival and HOLY SHIT I’m so excited because I’m finally seeing it tomorrow

He NEEDS an Oscar for No Way Home. If he doesn't win best supporting, it will be a big missed opportunity.

Well, here we are 2,5 months later and ... without even a nomination...

Brad Pitt's acting was very good, but DAFOE SHUD HAVE WON THE OSCAR!!!!!!!!!!!

Your editing iz fun, thanks for that effort

This is the content we’ve been waiting for

Phoenix deserves an Oscar first

He’s truly amazing, if I know he’s in a movie I will automatically want to see it! I’m 20 and I’ve been really into movies (especially iconic and classic ones) and defining who my favorite actors are and he definitely is and I plan on watching some of his earlier work! Loved At eternity’s gate (and Spider-Man obviously) But wait he doesn’t have an Oscar yet???

honestly when i think of Dafoe i think of the green goblin, or the guy from beyond two souls. but platoon, and the lighthouse are definetely my favorite performances of his.

I’m just shocked how amazingly the film was for mainly just two actors this film amazed me

if he's not nominated : "Let Neptune strike ye dead, Academy! Hark!!" I also loved him in the Grand Budapest Hotel

One of my favorite actors. Every role he plays he just fits into.

The video we've been waiting for

I get the shivers everytime the trailer comes on.

Just saw The Lighthouse for the second time right before you uploaded this! You’re definitely right, even though I feel like Brad Pitt is a close competitor

Not even Wes Anderson can keep Willem Dafoe from acting

The lighthouse was so great

Just saw the lighthouse couldn't agree more

"We're the guys with the crossbows."

Hate to be that guy but Joaquin deserves that Oscar. He essentially had to carry a 2 hour movie by himself.

They both deserve Oscar noms

That monologue after his cooking was insulted should be enough to win an Oscar.

the "this guy" shade on Joaquin was harsh 💔 (no, i didn't watch the s-word movie)

Woah holy shit... I thought Gill was voiced by Denis Leary! Oof...

Why are you spilling the beans

i work at the dolby theatre (the venue that hosts the governors awards, the oscars, etc.) i worked the governors awards last weekend and got the pleasure of meeting willem and robert as they were there for the lighthouse. can safely say they were two of the politest people at the event. really hope they rack up some nominations this award season. :)

And now he didn't even got nominated... :(

Personally I think Pheonix deserves it

Gotta admit the lighthouse looks fire

Just watched The Lighthouse, his performance was captivating from start to finish. In general I think he's an underrated actor, and definitely deserves more recognition.

Phoenix has a lock on the oscar lol

And also, he knows you like his lobster.

The Lighthouse aint even screening in Australia :/

He was also in Togo, the hunter & John wick

It's the green goblin! 😂

He's my favorite actor, I hope he wins something

One of my favourite performances in anything ever

His voice in the lighthouse is so good pattinson gonna copy it as his bat voice.

DaFoe as Green Goblin is one of my favorite performances of all time from him. He better win for this movie though so

How do you tell if someone went to the Cannes Film Festival? Don't worry, they'll tell you!

He should’ve got an Oscar for Togo. Such an underrated movie!

Your point where is two crazy guys in a lighthouse is spot on. However we watch them go crazy.

He is the greatest part of Boondock Saints lmao

Wasn't too long ago when people treated Dafoe like a joke.

One of my all time fav actors. Still a couple films from his filmography I still need to watch but so far he’s definitely in my top 5

I love his act since from spiderman.. damn this man is gift acting skills

lmao what "this guy" regardless of what you think of Joker you can't deny that Joaquin Phoenix is an incredible actor

After seeing NWH, this has become even more relevant.

Looking forward to that

hes an amazing actor and personality. Theres nothing fake about him when he speaks, hes all in, u can feel the passion and truth in his words whenever hes being interviewed. He gives his heart to us in his movie plays. I deeply admire him. Great actor and never fails in any movie hes in.

Ye great but if phoenix doesn't win people will suicide

Not to mention he was delivering lines while being buried alive! Dirt was actually being thrown at his face

You are soo underrated. I love you

He also gave an awesome video game performance in Beyond two Souls

Willed Defoe: that Oscar is mine Jauquin and taron: allow us to introduce ourselves

Hey Karsten I've been watching your videos since you had 10k subscribers. I was wondering if you maybe wanted to be friends. You seem really cool.

The type of content i like to see

yes !!!!! i also think that there's something to be said for the fact that willem dafoe is originally a theatrical actor and got his start on the stage- time and time again, his performances bring that special something that i originally thought i could only find in the theatre. but once you get an artist who knows his craft and knows what he's doing and trained for years before even getting in front of a camera- that's just beautiful !

This movie will not make any sense until you know it's an allegory of the story of Prometheus & Proteus juxtaposed for the movie's sake & address an analogy to it.

Karsten, 'that guy' is Joaquin Phoenix

Just saw this film and William is BRILLIANT! BRILLIANT!! As brilliant as that lighthouse lens is! He was flippen amazing in this role!

They need to release this filme on DVD, amazon prime or something! Right now!!

green goblin is the best thing about spider-man

I liked this video before even watching it, Willem is unique

the great thing about him is that he actually seems to love and care for the craft he practices in all of its aspects. His enthusiasm and openness to try out new stuff is what got me to admire him.

One of my fave performances from him: the Domestos ad. He played a angry melancholic germ about to die reminicing on the good old days. Terrified the children uk viewers 🤣
