Todd Field has been so unlucky. I mean getting nominated at the Oscars for your first two directorial ventures and then mysteriously vanishing for sixteen years!! I mean he wasn’t involved in any TV project as well. It’s just really bizarre.
I could see a narrative picking up for him if TAR does well at a film festival like Venice. Blanchett had described the movie as “a female conductor’s fall from grace in a male dominated field” and various other themes [in the podcast with Clayton Davis] and it just feels incredibly baity. Original screenplay, Actress and Score (by Hildur Guðnadóttir) are certainly possible.
I am especially excited for Nina Hoss, who is a magnificent actress and deserves much more praise.

ReplyMarch 28, 2022 at 12:33 pm #1204886268That moment of the Queen with Dame Liza melted hearts.
That was a really beautiful moment! “I got you” was special. Lady Gaga is a class act.
ReplyMarch 28, 2022 at 1:56 am #1204884949I get some of you didn’t like her performance, but Chastain has had magnificent performances throughout her underrated career. Whether it’s Tree of Life, Zero Dark Thirty, The Help, Molly’s Game, A Most Violent Year, let’s be honest she’s been unfairly snubbed multiple times. Colman, Kidman and Cruz already have Oscars…there is no harm in spreading the wealth! As for Stewart (who was my personal winner), I believe that she will be up there in the not-so distant future.

ReplyMarch 27, 2022 at 6:25 am #1204878653I absolutely loved Simone Ashley and Jonathon Bailey, they have delicious chemistry. And this season (though it is still really cheesy) is much better compared to the first one in my opinion, and the leads are hundred times more charismatic. (Sorry but I never understood the thirst for Regé-Jean Page) On the other hand, Simone and Bailey simply sizzle on screen. Idk if they should be nominated for Emmys, but I thoroughly enjoyed this season.
Regarding Pachinko and Severance, Apple Tv+ is truly killing it. I adored both these shows beyond measure. Especially gobsmacked by Severance and its unique singularity. Emmys for all!
March 26, 2022 at 7:20 pm #1204878082I’m getting really scared for Amy Adams. Three major flops in a row, Disenchanted having reshoots and now Nightbitch (which has the most bonkers storyline)
Apparently, ‘Nightbitch’ will begin filming this fall. https://variety.com/2022/film/news/annapurna-sue-naegle-steps-down-megan-ellison-1235215278/
March 26, 2022 at 3:06 am #1204876812Mine: My top 4 performances are really close (and difficult to decide between them) but the characters couldn’t be more different! But I adored Jessie Buckley’s performance and the movie worked only because of her parts. (unpopular opinion?) If Ruth Negga or Martha Plimpton/Ann Dowd were nominated, I might have placed them higher than Buckley.
Magnificent:
1. Jessie Buckley, The Lost Daughter
2. Viola Davis, Fences
3. Kirsten Dunst, The Power of the Dog
4. Yuh-jung Youn, MinariEqually great:
5. Allison Janney, I, Tonya
6. Lupita Nyong’o, 12 Years a Slave
7. Ariana DeBose, West Side Story
8. Anne Hathaway, Les Miserables
9. Octavia Spencer, The Help
10. Regina King, If Beale Street Could TalkOkayish/Good:
11. Patricia Arquette, Boyhood
12. Aunjanue Ellis, King Richard
13. Alicia Vikander, The Danish GirlQuite disappointing:

February 15, 2022 at 10:25 pm #1204804510I was just watching Documentary Now, S3. ‘Waiting for the Artist’ is so freaking fantastistic!! Fred Armison is gold. Cate Blanchett as Marina Abramovic is perfecttttt **chef’s kiss**. If this episode was a feature film, it would have been an iconic modern-day comedy/satirical masterpiece.
February 8, 2022 at 8:38 pm #1204790864Dench is one of the worst noms ever. She did nothing in Belfast and she can give that performance on her sleep. She is a great actress but she tends to get undeserving noms at the oscars (Chocolate, Mrs. Henderson and now this).
YES to all of this. Her supporting nominations have been quite undeserving.
February 8, 2022 at 8:25 pm #1204790845Cate Blanchett breaks Olivia de Havilland’s record of being the female actor starring in the most Best Picture nominated movies (eight).
Blanchett has starred in nine BP nominees: Elizabeth (1998), The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002), The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003), The Aviator (2004), Babel (2006), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), Don’t Look Up (2021), Nightmare Alley (2021). [Carol should have been in this list too]
