Kirsten has spoken about not feeling appreciated by her industry in the past. First ceremony attending as a nominee and they do this??? Fuck them.
It was a joke ffs! Dunst will be fine.
ReplyFebruary 12, 2022 at 12:12 pm #1204798472I understand the complaints about Blanchett’s work here not being particularly novel but I just thought she was absolutely sensational when she was on screen and really made the most of what her material in all the best ways.
Couldn’t agree more. She’s my fave, but even I did not think her performance would slay as much as it did. Especially her last scene with Cooper was just incredible.
ReplyJanuary 12, 2022 at 2:05 pm #1204722032I told you Cate would get a nomination. This is her 17th nomination including 7 ensemble noms. I also think that come Oscar time there will be a vote split between Nightmare Alley and Dont Look Up. She may cancel herself out. An example of that is the BAFTA long list where she is in with DLU
Sadly, I agree. Still, I was super excited she turned up on both lists today.
January 7, 2022 at 8:57 am #1204702718Although my main point here is that if West Side Story were to win the Oscar, that could potentially encourage filmmakers/studio executives into thinking it’s OK to redo a classic story even if it already has a movie which happens to be this much lauded Best Picture winner.
Sure, winning an Oscar can encourage that, but WSS’ box office result may just as well discourage it. Just my three cents.
ReplyJanuary 2, 2022 at 7:51 am #1204692324Unlikely, but Taika Waititi deserves to be nominated for Worst Supporting Actor in Free Guy.
ReplyDecember 26, 2021 at 2:02 pm #1204680163Have to agree with a lot of complaints above, but most importantly – Sorkin’s screenplay. What was he thinking? It’s basically like a 2-hour long episode of one of his shows, and not even a good episode. His screenwriting style does not fit the story at all.
Kidman did her best, but I did not believe for a second she’s Lucille. Then again, I had the same reaction to Kristen Stewart’s Diana, so maybe I’m the problem đŸ˜€
ReplyDecember 25, 2021 at 1:04 pm #1204678614God, what a mess this was. At least the actors somehow made it watchable.

More recently 2001 – with historic win and 4 other amazing performances, each very distinct and deserving.
ReplyDecember 13, 2021 at 7:09 am #1204650554Crap, Blanchett ain’t getting that 8th Oscar nom this year.
December 11, 2021 at 12:01 pm #1204644345I think it has a very good chance of winning BP and I would love to see it. I think they improved on the first one and if there were any issues, they had been already there in the source material.

Agree that Faist was an MVP and would be a deserving nominee. DeBose and Zegler were great too, but they have very strong competition.November 30, 2021 at 5:10 am #1204614963What’s funny is that Scott Feinberg now has West Side Story predicted in top 5 in all major categories, including Zegler and 3 supporting roles (!).
Yes, the reactions to the film were overwhelmingly positive, but there’s no way it’s going to do that well on the nominations morning. I can’t see it getting more than 2 acting moms.
ReplyNovember 20, 2021 at 7:31 am #1204590516I agree that something was missing here. Garfield was uneven to me, but had great moments at the end. Shipp was the weakest link in the cast.
ReplyNovember 12, 2021 at 9:57 am #1204574289Love her, but Ben Stiller movie is not something that screams Oscar potential.
ReplyNovember 12, 2021 at 9:56 am #1204574285Be Alive was just released on youtube. It’s as underwhelming as Spirit was.
ReplyNovember 4, 2021 at 10:53 am #1204557140Have to agree that the movie was a mess. It seems they did not know what it was supposed to be about and created a generic biopic with no focus or vision. Too bad, because Tammy’s life and her story was fascinating.
Chastain though – what a performance. She even managed to move me to tears in that last scene. I know it’s a strong year, but she deserves an Oscar nomination.
