I take back my earlier comments regarding the make-up job on Kidman. These new photos show that they did a better job than I thought.

This is what Baz Luhrmann SHOULD’VE made.
ReplyApril 26, 2021 at 10:49 pm #1204230838I wonder what lead roles there are that Meryl turned down because they were less baity but their movies ended up more accoladed on the whole.
Meryl was considered for the following Oscar-nominated performances:
Julia (she was considered for Vanessa Redgrave’s role before being cast in a smaller one)
Coming Home (in Penelope Milford’s role)
Sweet Dreams
Fatal Attraction (in Glenn Close’s role)
Working Girl (in Sigourney Weaver’s role)
Thelma and Louise
The Remains of the Day
Six Degrees of Separation
Nixon
Frida
ReplyApril 26, 2021 at 12:22 pm #1204229766When the nominees were first announced, I was predicting Mulligan. I switched to Davis after she won SAG, then to McDormand when she won BAFTA. I then switched back to Mulligan at the last minute when I saw the results of the “anonymous ballots” thread.
In hindsight, I should’ve known better than to predict anybody other than McDormand. The Academy seems to REALLY love her when she’s in a lead role. That’s why she won every time she was nominated in lead, and ONLY when she was nominated in lead. Every time she was nominated in supporting, she lost.
Next time McDormand is nominated (and trust me, there WILL be a next time), I’ll predict her for the win if it’s in lead, and anybody BUT her if it’s in supporting. It will take a truly undeniable lead performance from somebody else, or a truly undeniable supporting performance from McDormand for me to walk back that decision.

Ahmed is the first Muslim to be nominated in lead, but he’s not the first Muslim to be nominated overall. Omar Sharif, Shohreh Aghdashloo, and Mahershala Ali were/are also Muslim, but they were only nominated in supporting.
Meanwhile, Ali is the only Muslim to win an acting Oscar once, let alone twice.
ReplyApril 26, 2021 at 5:05 am #1204228272All of last night’s acting wins are in the top ten oldest/youngest wins in their respective categories.
Hopkins is THE oldest Best Actor winner ever.
McDormand is the third-oldest Best Actress winner ever.
Kaluuya is the seventh-youngest Best Supporting Actor winner ever.
Youn is the third-oldest Best Supporting Actress winner ever.
ReplyApril 26, 2021 at 4:46 am #1204228212Anthony Hopkins is now the oldest person to win an acting Oscar, beating Christopher Plummer’s record (which in turn was set following his win for Beginners back in 2012).
ReplyApril 25, 2021 at 8:49 pm #1204226678Frances McDormand not only has more Oscars than Meryl Streep, but also won more in a quicker amount of time than Meryl. That’s insane.
Time between first and third Oscar wins:
Walter Brennan- 4 years
Jack Nicholson- 22 years
Daniel Day-Lewis- 23 years
Frances McDormand- 24 years
Ingrid Bergman- 30 years
Meryl Streep- 32 years
Katharine Hepburn- 35 years

Yeah. The entire thing was much less predictable than we all thought. I got 69.57% right.
ReplyApril 25, 2021 at 8:44 pm #1204226599Frances is now the third person ever to win three lead acting awards. The first was Katharine Hepburn in 1968 and the second was Daniel Day-Lewis in 2012.
ReplyApril 25, 2021 at 8:42 pm #1204226570With McDormand’s win tonight, this is the first time since 2004 that the Best Actress winner won for a performance in the Best Picture winner.

That was the one major category where I truly hoped my prediction was wrong. Unfortunately, I was right.
