Succession currently has two acclaimed performances competing against each other in Supporting Actor. Which one would you vote for?
I’m currently only predicting Culkin to get the nomination, but I’m personally rooting for Macfadyen. First of all, Culkin is phenomenal. It feels like a role that we see a lot, but he really makes the most of it, giving a flashy turn as the sarcastic scene stealer, and managing to find the humanity in an otherwise unlikable character. But I ended up being more drawn to Macfayden’s subtle, contained work. He does a good job of getting a lot of emotion across without being too obvious about it, which makes the moments where he gets to let loose hit even harder than they normally would. I was also very surprised at how much I ended up sympathizing with him as the season went on, more so than with Culkin. Both should make the cut, but if it’s only one of them, I hope it’s Macfadyen, even though I’m expecting the opposite to happen.
ReplyMacfadyen gives the best supporting actor performance of the season imo. It’s interesting that the actor who comes close (Pelphrey) gives a completely different type of performance.
This! I’m always more drawn to subtle, quieter performances but something about Pelphrey’s work really struck me. It felt so grounded even though it was super loud. I still think I prefer Macfadyen though, the cove scene with Shiv alone is brilliant.
