Even though I’m a bit disappointed that Jake Gyllenhaal got snubbed (really Academy? How can you snub something like this?), seeing Steve Carell’s character in Foxcatcher was very unnerving and upsetting which is what they were definitely going for.
She was just simply elegantly psychotic. She really did a fantastic job in this role.

It ain’t a Gambino line without a bit of wordplay!
If you’re looking for him, you can find Donald messing around with your main chick and a play on with the word “main” occurs here. A mane (homonym of “main”) is the long thick hair you’ll find on some animals like a horse or a lion but not a lioness (a female lion).

I don’t want to say too much and spoil it for those who haven’t seen the film yet but bruh…
This scene was just heart-wrenching. Incredible.
Matthew McConaughey was absolutely amazing in this scene. I promise you, he was so close to getting my vote for Best Actor, but my dude Jake killed it in Nightcrawler.
Also, I don’t care what anyone says, if you haven’t, please check out Interstellar. It was actually the last movie I watched in 2014 (so in turn, I didn’t think it would make any of these lists) but it blew me away. Everything about it was insane. It’s been getting mixed reviews but after the film was over, I knew this was movie of the year for me. Too powerful.

Classic Double Entendre!
Joey used to be a school boy (who went to Edward R. Murrow High School), and to get there, Joey would have to ride the Q train which passes by Flatbush and his highschool — and sometimes he missed it.
Also a clever reference to the TDE rapper ScHoolboy Q who used to live on Hoover Street next to Figueroa, or Figg side as he calls it in many of his songs.
Joey himself was born in the East Flatbush section of Brooklyn, NY. This could also be a reference to the hip-hop group Flatbush Zombies who originate from Flatbush, NY hence the name.
ScHoolboy Q repeatedly mentions growing up on Figg (Figueroa) Street in LA
Actually a triple entendre: ‘Q’ as in ‘cue’, the Q train, and Schoolboy Q.
109
The Q train is near the Flatbush neighborhood which also travels to Edward R. Murrow where Pro Era attended high school
177
Joey went to Edward Murrow HS, which is by the Avenue M stop on the Q train. On his way to school, he missed the Q.
The Q train doesn’t go thru flatbush
211
It can also mean while he was hopping trains he missed his quiz/ test….. Since he was a schoolboy.
123
Also a play on words Q and queue
The Q never passes flatbush, it goes from Coney Island to Queens and doesn’t go near flatbush.

He missed his cue but he also missed his Q train.. Which hits a part of Flatbush.. He was a schoolboy hopping trains to school. Really dope wordplay
