Just a reminder that our three winners this decade have been Daniel Kaluuya, Troy Kotsur & Ke Huy Quan.

Easily the best group this decade out of all 4 acting categories.

JLC was not my choice for the win (she was 4th after Hsu, Condon & Bassett) but she is not a BAD win by any means. It’s not the type of roles and performances that win Oscars, but she was great with the role. I can name at least 5 wins I like less than this one in the last 10 years.

And for those trashing or not knowing JLC carrer I recommend you to watch this movies before speaking:

1. Halloween series
2. True Lies
3. A Fish Called Wanda
4. Freaky Friday
5. Trading Places

She is an amazing genre actress (comedy, horror, action) and seems to get trashed because of not having a filmography filled with “traditional drama for Oscars” type of films and performances.

Michelle Yeoh for the win!

And I loved Blanchett in Tar, but to call it “undeniable” for the win is crazy. We had many performances in the last 15 years as great as Blanchett and Yeoh was excellent too and VERY deserving.

My personal ranking

1.Ke Huy Quan
2.Barry Keoghan
3.Brendan Gleeson
4.Brian Tyree Henry
5.Judd Hirsch

My prediction

1.Ke Huy Quan
2.Barry Keoghan
3.Brendan Gleeson
4.Judd Hirsch
5.Brian Tyree Henry

This seems like the lockest category of the night. Ke was amazing and it will be one of the best winners in this category ever. Keoghan and Gleeson are great too and would be very deserving winners had Quan not been in the race. Brian Tyree Henry was very good and I hope he gets more meaty roles in the future. And I actually liked Hirsch in the Fabelmans even though I didn’t like that movie. But his performance is sooo short, his nom is pure name checking.

My personal ranking

1.Paul Mescal
2.Colin Farrell
3.Austin Butler
4.Brenda Fraser
5.Bill Nighy

My prediction

1.Austin Butler
2.Brendan Fraser
3.Colin Farrell
4.Paul Mescal
5.Bill Nighy

I think Butler is taking this, it’s the typical performance that wins this category (like Bohemian Rhapsody and any other of the million biopics that usually win). He would be a good winner, not an amazing one. I prefer Mescal (he was AMAZING) and Farrell (also great too) but neither is gaining traction for the win. I didn’t care for The Whale and I have some issues with Fraser performance. Sometimes I thought he was great and in other scenes I thought he was weak. It felt a very uneven performance for me. Maybe I’m lost but I don’t get what was so Oscar worthy about Nighy performance. It was just OK, nothing more.

My personal ranking

1.Stephanie Hsu
2.Kerry Condon
3.Angela Bassett
4.Jamie Lee Curtis
5.Hong Chau

My prediction

1.Kerry Condon
2.Angela Bassett
3.Jamie Lee Curtis
4.Stephanie Hsu
5.Hong Chau

When in doubt in a very tight race, go with the Bafta winner. Condon was excellent and she would be a very deserving winner. Basset and Curtis are viable winners too but I see as many pros as cons for their opportunity to get the Oscar. Condon seems like the safest choice right now. Hsu was my favorite but it seems she has no chances. Didn’t care for Chau performance (or The Whale overall). Dolly de Leon should have been in her place for sure.

This could have been one category for the ages, and end up as one of the weakest ones. The Viola Davis and Danielle Deadwyler snubs really hurt.

Cate and Michelle Yeoh are great. Andrea is really deserving. Ana and Michelle Williams are the ones that shouldn’t have made the cut.

She was very deserving (win worthy) for Junebug and The Master

I’m ok with her noms for Doubt and The Fighter.

Didn’t deserve her noms for American Hustle and Vice.

Yesterday I had an early screening on Imax. I thought the movie was OK but nowhere near as great as the first one.

The technical aspects are again really good, even though not as mind blowing as in the original.

The lenght and the story are the worst aspects of it. I thought the movie had like 40 minutes of boring and unnecesary content, and the story overall was very predictable and meh.

6 out of 10 for me.
