Inspired by the thread recasting about Oscar winning roles, if you could recast a 2022 nominated role with a non-nominated actor, who would you choose?

Olivia Colman in The Lost Daughter with someone better like Cate Blanchett or Kate Winslet.

I noticed the prompt asked for non-nominated actors so I’ve abstained in certain cases where I can’t really think of another non-nominated actor who hasn’t already been mentioned prior in the thread.

I don’t want to pull any actor/actress down by saying “he/she couldn’t have done that role” or “imagine thinking that he/she would have been better than her/him” but I genuinely believe that there are certain roles that cannot be done better by anyone other than that actor/actress.
Just like neither Blanchett or Winslet could have pulled Leda (or Queen Anne or Anne in The Father) off better than Colman, similarly neither Blanchett nor Colman could have pulled off Clementine or Mare or Rose better than Winslet, just like neither Winslet nor Colman could have pulled off Jasmine or Carol or Elizabeth I better than Blanchett.
ReplyCopy URLDo we think Dano and Moss would have been nominated for TPOTD had they not required recasting?
I think Moss would. Dano however I don’t know. I think part of the appeal in Plemons’ performance was how strong the chemistry he had with Cumberbatch and especially Dunst was and whilst Dano is an excellent actor and I do think he would have worked well alongside Cumberbatch, I don’t know whether the chemistry between him and Moss would have been as strong as it was with Dunst and Plemons.

Really sad. I don’t think there’s any need to pull an actress down. You really proved my point, didn’t you?
I think that melvinezq was just responding to the absurdity of kenny’s original comment of “someone better,” not pulling down another actress. While kenny explicitly stated that Winslet and blanchett were better actresses, melvinezq just said that it’s funny to think Winslet wouldve been better, so I dont think there was the need for condescension.

I mean all three actresses can exist and get great roles simultaneously. Kenny was wrong to use the word “better actress” when all three of Colman, Blanchett and Winslet are equally good actresses, no one is better than the other. But instead of calling that out, if Melvinezq highlights it for just one actress while saying it’s funny to think she would be better than her (which explicitly hints that the other two are better than one), it does give the wrong impression. I mean there’s absolutely no need to pull anyone down, directly or indirectly.
P.S.: I might have misunderstood the idea behind Melvinezq’s comment and if that is so, I apologise to Melvinezq. If not, then I stand by whatever I’ve said.
ReplyCopy URLLike Elena Ferrante, I think it would have been interesting to see Maggie Gyllenhaal play “older” Leda. Also, I think it might have been interesting to see Tilda and Honor Swinton play Leda and young Leda.
Lucille Ball- I would like to have seen Julia Louis-Dreyfus give it a try; she seldom does that kind of dramatic role but I think she could have pulled it off.
