Succession is winning everything but supporting actress. I think Strong takes because he is peaking at the right time, but if not him, it’s Culkin’s.
I think it’s Strong’s to lose. He’s just perfection. It helps that he had those powerful last 20 minutes. He broke my heart once again. I shared this somewhere else, but Culkin’s Roman has not earned my sympathy and his suffering was lost on me. It simply did not work for me. Strong’s final 10-20 minutes were more powerful and hit me harder than anything Shook had done this entire season. I believe Strong will win in a cakewalk.
May 7, 2023 at 2:23 pm #1205423086Having recently rewatched the 2015 telecast myself, I for the most part agree with you. Although I mostly enjoyed Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming as hosts. I’ve also written a whole retrospective about the Best Lead Actress in a Musical race that year, which you can read in the link below.

ReplyMay 7, 2023 at 3:58 am #1205422780The 2015 telecast was my first. It wasn’t the best of telecasts. The hosts were rather dull, but I loved the wins for Fun Home and Kelli.
ReplyMay 7, 2023 at 3:37 am #1205422776I love it that she’s nowhere right now. This won’t make people presume she’ll be back next time she’s nominated. This is her path to Number 4.

ReplyApril 28, 2023 at 10:07 am #1205413794Thats very interesting saying Chastain stole an award when she rightfully deserved it. Kristen Stewart does not have the range Chastain does nor does Comer. You can disagree but there filmographys says otherwise. Her performance in a dolls house is on another level. This is an easy and deserved win for Chastain.
All due respect but Comer is quite gifted and the only reason she does not have Chastain’s filmography is extremely simple. Comer is 13 years younger. Thirteen years ago, almost nobody has ever heard of Jessica Chastain.
ReplyApril 24, 2023 at 12:18 am #1205408225There was an article someplace or was it here that someone said Glenn has declined more 5an once Honorary
I really doubt that she would decline the Govenor Award. In addition, I doubt recipients are informed ahead of time. History has proven that even when recipients are unwilling to accept (Peter O’Toole was at first; Godard wasn’t willing to accept), the Academy stands firm by its decision.
ReplyApril 17, 2023 at 1:05 pm #1205393772Jeremy Strong is coming for that Emmy. His character is in interesting territory right now. Ken will certainly end up being not only the most fascinating character but also the one going through the biggest changes. He’s coming for Emmy # 2. I can’t wait for his next few episodes because I expect the performance to get only better.

But Kendall, Logan’s ultimate victim, the one son he both loved and hated the most, turning into his father would be excruciating but also thrilling in terms of drama and acting.
END OF SPOILERApril 10, 2023 at 2:08 pm #1205384838Could we see Kieran move to lead too? Basically a swap with Brian? (I doubt Brian would go guest)
I was thinking this too. They’d easily be able to get Ruck in that way and it might even help Culkin’s chances of winning too. His team should consider at the very least like Christina Ricci’s did last year with her Yellowjackets placement even if the network doesn’t.
Kieran doesn’t have the weight of a dramatic performance to win in lead. I think their best case scenario is Cox in supporting (alongside Culkin and the others) and Strong in lead. This would enable two wins: both in lead and supporting. Strong will have some killer episodes in the next few episodes. It’s noteworthy that his quiet breakdown was the end of this episode.
April 3, 2023 at 7:35 am #1205375640I’ve always been Team Strong and I will be Team Strong. I’m not particularly impressed with Cox. He’s a good technician, yes, but he lacks the depth Strong has. I’m sure Strong will get plenty of great material as well.
March 13, 2023 at 4:06 am #1205349985The fact that Frances McDormand holds more Oscars than Cate Blanchett is absolutely laughable. Anyways, Blanchett will snatch a 3rd time in the future most likely.
The fact that Frances has as many as La Streep is even more laughable, but those are the facts.
March 13, 2023 at 4:04 am #1205349982It’s not that Cate was disappointed.
I think she was a bit puzzled, because Jessica’s lip movements indicated/looked/sounded like she started pronouncing the C in Cate. Just watch the clips.
But come on, Michelle deserved this. I hope Cate will win for a performance that doesn’t feel like every performance she has done in the last ten years. She’s a wonderful actor but has become a little repetitive.
March 10, 2023 at 7:34 am #1205341471I’m thinking:
Chastain – Actor
DeBose – Supporting Actor
Kotsur – Supporting ActressActress will be presented by a big name that has not been announced. I’m thinking somebody who has a film next year and is a Best Actor winner. So I’m thinking DiCaprio.
Close will present Directing or the writing awards.
Somebody unannounced will present Best Picture. I hope it’s Meryl Streep (the Sophie Choice win anniversary) or Meryl & Kevin Kline.
March 10, 2023 at 7:30 am #1205341455Maybe I’m the only one, but one of the things I’m more interested about is the stage design, and this year we haven’t seen any render and even don’t know the name of the designer
You’re not the only one. I’ve been googling this every single day. Usually, they share it 3-4 days before the show at the very latest. But no information this year. None at all.
