I'm looking forward to his next string of films, including the Scorsese film.
I think the author of this article is just saying that this could be his year after being a joke for so long…
Lighten up people.

I actually think that Jared Leto might get the Oscar instead of Matthew McConaughey.
His character just seems even more "extreme" and well acted.
Yes I know I'm just speculating, but still.
A transsexual woman dying from AIDS and also a drug addict.
Played by Jared Leto. Who proved himself as an excellent actor w/
Requiem For A Dream and Mr. Nobody (if you haven't seem them, do it before you judge his acting). His talent is underrated, and I think that with this movie, people will realize just how good of an actor he really is.

It's not a make-believe film where a screenwriter creates a story. This is a real story, based on a real person. Ron Woodruff was not gay.

Would love to have a movie about a gay character where he/she doesn't end up dead/miserable/beaten up/in jail. Any time now…

I think the use of "Finally" is the bit much. The guy was pretty much all but gone until 2 years ago, seemingly having long ago disappeared into terrible overly expensive action failures (Sahara) & awful romantic comedies (literally all his work from 2005 to 2010). He's been great in all his work of late but his turn around to making quality work has been very VERY recent.

He wasn't snubbed.

I agree with BEF- Gary Oldman is more in the "finally" camp. Also, as much as I like McConaughey- the only actor who TRULY deserves a "finally" Oscar nom is the great Martin Sheen. First Sheen, then Mr. Abs!

Hyperbolic much? He's only been been doing great work for 2 years, he's not Christopher Plummer before 2009 or worse poor Donald Sutherland who is still waiting.

Finally? That word belonged to Gary Oldman. I've liked McConaughey for a while and like this resurgence — but one year of serious acting after years of not, isn't exactly "finally." He's taken his old pal Sandra Bullock's approach to movie star. Start dramatic, do a lot of fluff, come out of nowhere to be a serious leading actor, join an auteur's experimental sci fi movie.
