Last week, the first of the "Trifecta" of film critics organizations, The New York Film Critics Circle, made their announcements:

Best Film:
Tár

Best Director:
S. S. Rajamouli, RRR

Best Actor:
Colin Farrell, After Yang and The Banshees of Inisherin

Best Actress:
Cate Blanchett, Tár

Best Supporting Actor:
Ke Huy Quan, Everything Everywhere All at Once

Best Supporting Actress:
Keke Palmer, Nope

Best Screenplay:
Martin McDonagh, The Banshees of Inisherin

Best Animated Film:
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On

Best Cinematography:
Claudio Miranda, Top Gun: Maverick

Best Non-Fiction Film:
All the Beauty and the Bloodshed

Best International Film:
EO

Best First Film:
Aftersun

Special Awards:
Jake Perlin, curator, distributor, publisher, in recognition of his indispensable contributions to film culture; dGenerate Films, for their invaluable work bringing independent films from China to a wider audience; and Jafar Panahi, for his dogged bravery as an artist, and for the humanity and beauty of a body of work created under the most oppressive circumstances.

Ke Huy Quan from Everything Everywhere All at Once is gaining traction as a fave for Best Supporting Actor. Keke Palmer was considered a huge but pleasant surprise. Colin Farrell was getting some attention, and Cate Blanchett is starting out as a huge fave for Best Actress. What could hurt Blanchett is that the film, as great as it is, may be too cold for Oscar voters and she had already won Best Actress for Blue Jasmine. Of course, Frances McDormand won the second and third of her Best Actress Oscars very close together, but we have some real competition coming up for Blanchett, including from Hong Kong film royalty and global superstar, Michelle Yeoh.

For all you Top Gun: Maverick fans, it received Best Cinematography.

[manhn]

It will be interesting if Brendan Fraser wins, as he will not appear at the ceremony due to the sexual harassment he endured by the GG committee.

 

[screech]

So firstly, where is Weird: The Al Yankovic story? It was released in time, and Daniel Radcliffe and Evan Rachel Wood are definitely deserving of nominations for TV movie actor/actress. It didn't receive a single nomination.

And I haven't seen Elvis, but shouldn't it be in the musical category instead of drama? Usually any movie that includes musical performances are included there.

And finally, the HFPA is trying to come back from controversy and they nominate Brad Pitt who is under investigation for many unsavoury things (including potentially assaulting his children and then wife)? No matter your thoughts on innocence or guilt, Johnny Depp was basically blacklisted due to allegations, but Brad Pitt is still getting nominations?

Johnny Depp walked so the likes of Brad Pitt can run. I bet the next actor who goes through something similar to the Heard/Depp went through won't be blacklisted...depending on how many fans that actor has.

 

[jenny12]

GOLDEN GLOBES are back...in case anyone missed them.

Nominations:

I’m surprised no Danielle Deadwyler for Till. I thought she was great and a shoo-in.

 

[VGThuy]

I’m surprised no Danielle Deadwyler for Till. I thought she was great and a shoo-in.

Me too. I guess Netflix paid extra for Ana de Armas’ nomination to ensure they got something for their investment in Blonde other than bad press and controversy.

 

[Jimena]

So are people going to go back to the Globes like last year didn't happen?

 

[VGThuy]

I bet a lot of actors will be pressured to attend since not only will NBC (a powerful network and part of a more powerful corporation that does both production, airing, and streaming programs) be airing it, but movie studios have invested a lot in these sorts of films, and they want those films promoted as much as possible and for the actors to do “their part” in the campaign for Oscar. If some actors refuse or want to to refuse, they may be threatened with being blacklisted.

A lot of actors who went through awards season have spoken about being treated like commodities and having to play into the game. Mo’Nique was very public about not doing it and not campaigning and her performance was strong enough to still win the awards, but her career has suffered from that ever since, according to her.

 

[manhn]

Brendan Fraser has already stated he will not attend, I suspect Tom Cruise won't either. I doubt either will be blacklisted, for different reasons.

 

[jenny12]

Me too. I guess Netflix paid extra for Ana de Armas’ nomination to ensure they got something for their investment in Blonde other than bad press and controversy.

Ah, that makes sense.

I liked Ana de Armas in Knives Out but Blonde did her no favors IMO. I think she did the best she could do with the material but it was hard for me to know what to make of her performance since it seemed like mainly crying or whispering in service of a script that gave Monroe no agency.

Mo’Nique was very public about not doing it and not campaigning and her performance was strong enough to still win the awards, but her career has suffered from that ever since, according to her.

Well...what would you say your three favourite Monique movies have been since she won her Academy Award?

 

[VGThuy]

Well...what would you say your three favourite Monique movies have been since she won her Academy Award?

I said according to her because others who have worked with her before attributed different things as to why her career stalled. But it all boils down to her being “difficult”.

I saw her in the tv movie Bessie some years ago, and she reminded me of what an incredible actress she was. I was glad she was nominated for an Emmy and a Television Critics Award for it. Viola Davis may have looked the part of “Ma Rainey” more in her film and had meatier lines/scenes thanks to playwright August Wilson, but I preferred Mo’Nique’s portrayal overall.

 

[Seerek]

For me, Brendan Gleeson is practically a co-lead in Banshees - that was not a supporting role, IMO (especially when compared to his castmate and fellow nominee Barry Keoghan).

 

[screech]

For me, Brendan Gleeson is practically a co-lead in Banshees - that was not a supporting role, IMO (especially when compared to his castmate and fellow nominee Barry Keoghan).

That's not unusual though. I remember there were a lot of comments when Jennifer Connelly won supporting actress for A Beautiful Mind, in what many considered a leading role. And Ethan Hawke had the same amount of screen time in Training Day as Denzel, but was up for supporting. Al Pacino had more screen time in The Godfather than Brando, but Brando was considered lead, Pacino supporting.
Also, I would have had Emma Stone and/or Rachel Weisz as lead actresses for The Favourite, and Olivia Coleman as supporting (apparently it was decided that Emma and Rachel would be put in the opposite category of wherever Olivia ended up).
It rarely works to have 2 leads from the same film nominated. IIRC this is why a lot of people think Leonardo DiCaprio wasn't nominated for The Departed - the studio didn't want to promote him over Matt Damon (and vice versa).

ETA: I just found this article and found it interesting, especially since it basically says it's a first come/first served for which category they are nominated. It mentions, specifically, that both leads of Judas and the Black Messiah crossed the Supporting threshold before they crossed the Lead threshold, so that's why they were nominated for Supporting.

The Oscars rules for acting nominations lay out the complicated process:

1. Any eligible film may submit a list of up to ten eligible actors and ten eligible actresses to be considered overall (at the moment, the Oscars have no gender-neutral acting awards, nor language that considers gender outside the binary).
2. The five performances in each of the four acting categories that get the most nomination votes get the nominations.
3. It's pretty much up to the voters to categorize a performance. The rules state, "A performance by an actor or actress in any role shall be eligible for nomination either for the leading role or supporting role categories . . . The determination as to whether a role is a leading or supporting role shall be made individually by members of the branch at the time of balloting."
4. If a performance receives votes in both the leading and the supporting categories, that performer will be nominated in the first category in which they reach the threshold of votes needed to be nominated. If both happen at the same time, the category in which they got the higher percentage of votes will be the one used.

 

[VGThuy]

The line between supporting/lead can be so blurry. Especially for women. In the 1970s, so many American women roles that were essentially supporting got nominated for Lead Actress because of the lack of depth even if there were really top notch performances. Apparently, it got so “bad” in 1974-ish that Ellen Bustryn wanted to boycott the Best Actress category as a protest for the lack of American leading roles for women.

But I think these days, it’s just studios being savvy and figuring out which category would be easier to win for some contenders and to spread their chances of getting nominated/winning. I really do dislike it when leading performances end up in the supporting category when there are actual strong supporting roles up for the same award that year. Of course, the Academy invented the supporting categories back in the mid-1930s to appease SAG and give actors more chances to win Oscars, and I guess that’s what’s going on here haha.

The Australian Academy of Cinema and Television and Arts (AACTA) announced their international awards nominations (6 days ago, so I'm late but whatever). They tend to have a pretty good overlap with the Oscars, but sometimes has an Aussie bias that undermines that overlap, understandably.

95th Oscars Shortlists Announced for 10 Categories | A.frame

Nominations will be announced on Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2023.

aframe.oscars.org

A lot of hyped up contenders didn't make the cut...well, just the ones with loud fans like Taylor Swift missing the Short Film shortlist and Billie Eilish missing Best Song shortlist as did Brandi Carlile.

Everything Everywhere All at Once did not make the cut for make-up & hairstyle or visual effects.

 

[screech]

I'm also surprised that RDJ's documentary 'Sr' about his father isn't included. Hollywood loves to toot its own horn, so not including a documentary about an actor, by a huge star is surprising. Especially since it's got 98% on rotten tomatoes and won the National Board of Review Award for Best Documentary Feature.

 

[Cachoo]

Well I liked the Variety explanation of how different voting is for Best Picture compared to every other Oscar category. And you can pick your category pleasure and see an exhaustive list of candidates and who they believe will make the cut.

Interesting to see Barry Keoghan up for Supporting Actor instead of Brendan Gleeson. Maybe these critics felt the same way some posters did with regard to whether Brendan Gleeson was actually in a leading role rather than a supporting one.

ETA: also, this the second time Cate Blanchett swept the New York Film Critics Circle, Los Angeles Film Critics Association, and the National Society of Film Critics making her the first woman to sweep the trifecta twice. She did it the first time for Blue Jasmine.
