i can see him becoming the passion pick similar to Ahmed or Mescal
For Shirley or The Actor?
ReplyMarch 14, 2023 at 12:42 am #1205351533The way he did what Glenn Close couldn’t
To be fair, if The Wife had received two more nominations I think Close would have won.
March 13, 2023 at 7:34 pm #1205351314This was my least favorite win of the night (sigh). The cry baby won. There were four superb performances nominated and then this average performance in a manipulative “paint by numbers” average made for t.v. movie. But I was willing to forgive anything so long as Michelle won Best Actress. I know some of you thought this was a great performance and we will just have to agree to disagree. One of the worst Best Actor winners ever.
Were you on the Supporting Actor thread calling Quan a cry-baby every other day?
And “one of the worst Best Actor winners ever” is a bit rich coming from a Malek stan.
March 13, 2023 at 2:24 am #1205349911She is def one of the most recognized, but she won everything for TAR. EVERYTHING. Minus that little loss at the SAG awards, and then you started to realize the industry just couldn’t handle letting the opportunity to reward a minority actress slip through their ballots. No matter what the stakes. No matter how acclaimed the work was. And I mean, Everything Everywhere All at Once steamrolled through not just Blanchett, but stole Banshee’s screenplay award too. The Daniels were already winning Director- did the academy have to throw them the writing honors too? Just to make a statement??
Cate’s loss is heartbreaking. All the work she did, all the interviews, and press conferences, and practice it took to play that part. To exceed her own expectations – only to have it taken away. It was like the folks who lost Enron stock. Such a sure thing, a safe bet- but it all turned out to be a scam. To be thatclose and to have it snatched because “We have to make sure history is made tonight honey. That’s why Halle Berry is presenting. You understand don’t you dear?” I certainly wouldn’t.
Sorry If I’m coming off rude and blunt, but I’m just stating what many others are certainly feeling. This hurts almost as much as Blanchett losing the Oscar to Gwyneth Paltrow. That was even more embarrassing than tonight.
And after that Instagram nonsense, I certainly wouldn’t blame Cate if she simply withdrew her name from future competitions. What’s the point? Like Beyonce’s loss for Renaissance (which was REALLY wrong; the Grammys are dead in my book), If Cate can’t win for playing someone as versed and complicated as Lydia Tar, for learning how to speak German, conduct an orchestra and play piano for the role- she’ll never win again. Voters seem done with her.
So actors only make films for awards? Her work in TAR was all for nothing because she didn’t win a shiny gold man? Jesus Christ, enough with the drama.
March 12, 2023 at 8:02 pm #1205348312They’re separating the dead: those who won Oscars and those who didn’t…
March 12, 2023 at 7:34 pm #1205347862I switched Banshees for Everything last night. None of my switches have worked out so I’m ready for a Banshees win.
March 12, 2023 at 7:28 pm #1205347790Well that was painful…
March 12, 2023 at 7:19 pm #1205347660I still can’t believe All Quiet won Score lmfao.
Why can’t you believe it?
March 12, 2023 at 7:18 pm #1205347646These ads are ridiculous. They’re bad every year but this is a joke. But please, let’s blame the Shorts for being included in the show.
March 12, 2023 at 7:13 pm #1205347542When All Quiet wins Picture without a Director nom… Has that happened before?
Green Book, Argo, Driving Miss Daisy…
March 12, 2023 at 7:01 pm #1205347309I think Joker 2 is REALLY weighing down on her.
That’s what she wants everyone to believe…
March 12, 2023 at 6:57 pm #1205347239That zooooom!
March 12, 2023 at 6:56 pm #1205347226I had Ice Merchants, oops. Heard about people laughing at the inspirational lines in the winner’s film.
March 12, 2023 at 6:28 pm #1205346741Ugh I switched Ruth for Catherine last night, even though recreations shouldn’t be up for awards. Damnit.
