I saw Iron Claw and All of Us Strangers after the awards season and I couldn't believe how both films were snubbed especially in the acting categories!
Totally agree on Rosamund Pike. Her and Charles Melton gave my absolute favorite supporting performances of the year. I would also replace Annette Bening with Cailee Spaeny in Priscilla. Such a phenomenal performance that never fails to bring me to tears. I would honestly even say Jacob Elordi as Elvis in Priscilla was nomination worthy, at least SOMEWHERE if not the Oscars. There are just so many incredible performances that were completely ignored! I agree with all of your picks, you have taste, Brian!
I was hoping against hope for dear Zac, I thought he so deserved a nod for his performance! However, when All of Us Strangers finally came out here long after the nominations had been announced, and I was left totally speechless sobbing in my seat by Andrew, so after drying my tears I literally wanted to shout at the Academy "HOW???" Did it come out too late or something to be considered??? Yes the BAFTA snub was even more bamboozling!!
I felt the same way. It wasn't too late, it was just snubbed. This was my favorite film of 2023. So moving and really stayed with me. It was nominated at a couple of other awards shows, at least, but it's insane to me that it received zero Oscar nominations.
Andrew Scott broke my heart and I'm still reeling over that performance. Paul was good but Andrew floored me. Barry keoghan would've been an amazing nomination too.
or especially Sandra Hüller for Zone of interest and that's literally tough if you would replace someone with the amount of people that could themselves already fill a whole category.....
I wish Sandra Huller gotten a double nom at the Oscars like at BAFTA. Also, I wish she was more competitive for a win throughout awards season for her performance in Anatomy of a Fall. I wish the best actress race is a two horse race between Emma Stone and Sandra Huller instead of Emma Stone and Lily Gladstone.
I'm not by any means an expert as you are, but I think the trend lately, for Oscar noms, is whether a role is RELEVANT or not. If you scan all the acting nominations it kind of makes sense, and it definitely explains Sterling K Brown's or Annette Bening's noms in my opinion. Unfortunately it's not JUST about the performance, it's also about the actual role and what it represents. I do agree with the kid-hating though, what gives?
Great choices here. The 2 performances that got to me most, had me in tears actually, were Andrew Scott and Greta Lee. It would have been great to see their names in the acting nominations at the Oscars. About Lee's performance, I don't always want to see a big showy performances with Oscar moments ie big emotional scenes. I think Greta Lee is just so effective and moving for most of that film, subtle but her acting, with minimal or no lines, was just wonderful.
Totally agree with you about Andrew Scott over Bradley Cooper. Scott was amazing, as was the film which I feel should have been in the best picture list over Maestro. I would even put Paul Mescal in supporting actor over Sterling K. Brown.
My choices 1. Andrew Scott - All of Us Strangers 2. Julianne Moore - May December 3. Natalie Portman - May December 4. Ben Whishaw - Passages 5. Jamie Bell - All of Us Strangers 6. Franz Rogowski - Passages 7. Rachel McAdams - Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret 8. Sandra Huller - The Zone of Interest 9. Enzo Vogrincic - Society of the Snow 10. Dominic Sessa - The Holdovers
I LOVE GRETA LEE AND HER PERFORMANCE don't get me wrong, she really deserved it. But, sorry annette Benning also deserved it, what she did in Nyad is out of this world. She really put herself aside, and let Dianne Nyad breath trough her. I dont think either performance is better than the other, is just what you like (talking only about performance, no the overall movie). But annette is so chameleonic, everytime her work is top notch
for me the biggest snubs are Charles Melton for May December should be at Oscars Best Supporting Actor, Andrew Scott for All Of Us Strangers should be at Oscars Best Actor & Fantasia for The Color Purple should be at Oscars Best Actress
150 percent agreement on Greta Lee who really performed simply great in Past lives. But the same holds true for Teo Yoo and John Magaro from Past lives, who both also should be in best actor and best supporting actor according to my opinion! 3 great performances in this movie!
My Acting Oscar snubs: 1. Milo Machado Graner from Anatomy of a Fall (I would take out Sterling K. Brown) 2. Greta Lee from Past Lives (I would take out Annette Bening) 3. Teo Yoo from Past Lives (I would take out Bradley Cooper) 4. Margot Robbie from Barbie (I would take out Lily Gladstone) 5. Dominic Sessa from The Holdovers (I would take out Mark Ruffalo) 6. Sandra Huller from The Zone of Interest (I would take out Emily Blunt)
@@jeshellecerbito6697 If groundbreaking was the threshold, then many other nominations - and wins - would be out of the running. Performances are great within the context of the movie''s theme and intent. Ultimately, all of these discussed snubs and (to be snubbed instead, according to Brian) are wonderful for us to enjoy. I would still defend keeping Carey nominated, for myself.
Being a wrestling fan, I was looking forward to The Iron Claw and Zac Efron's performance. There were some liberties that were taken for the sake of runtime, but already knowing about the Von Erich family tragedies, I feel the entire cast delivered
My top 5 and who I’d take out to nominate them- 5-Koji Yakusho in Perfect Days (replace Bradley Cooper in Maestro) 4-Greta Lee in Past Lives (replace Carey Mulligan in Maestro) 3-Margot Robbie in Barbie (replace Annette Bening in Nyad) 2-Willem Dafoe in Poor Things (replace Robert De Niro in Killers of the Flower Moon) 1-Dominic Sessa in The Holdovers (might’ve even been my winner, replace Sterling K. Brown in American Fiction for a nomination)
All your swaps are SPOT ON! Especially Andrew Scott and Greta Lee!!!! Seriously, I wish you had the actual superpowers to manifest these nominations! 😂
Nic Cage has been snubbed bad the last couple of years. This year it was Dream Scenario, a couple years back it was Pig. Like I can see people debate Dream Scenario, but Pig should have been an easy nomination.
You know, even though these performances didn’t get nominated, this video made me very happy to see so much fine work is still being done out there. Thanks, Brian! Still need to watch All of Us Strangers, it’s in my local theater, I think I’ll go this week!
Yes, THANK YOU for the love for Milo Machado-Graner!! I really wish he could have been nominated for the Oscar. I literally said in my Oscars rankings that it was the best performance I have ever seen by a child actor. Period. End of sentence.
He definitely was one of the best child performances in films. I think Haley Joel Osment from The Sixth Sense is the best child performance on film. At least he was nominated for that film.
I'm actually pretty surprised that "American Fiction" had four great supporting performances by Tracee Ellis Ross, Erika Alexander, Leslie Uggams, and Issa Rae, yet not one of them were nominated for Best Supporting Actress.
I think part of it is because of all four being there. American Fiction supporters weren’t going to exclusively be voting for all 4 + only one person from another movie. These 4 were splitting votes which truly screwed each of them over equally. I also agree that the entire cast of American Fiction was amazing
Best male actor in a leading role actually is the only category where I was fine with the actual nominees.... DiCaprio was way over the top in KOTFM, that movie were carried by Lily and Robert. Best female actor in a leading role: also fine with the result and I think Margot was rather be snubbed last year for Babylon.... Best male actor in a supporting role: If only one person could have been picked from Poor things, it should have been Dafoe ANYDAY and i would have rather seen Charles Melton there than Ryan for Barbie. Best actress in a supporting role: Hate to say but America was such seat filler here, compared to the ones who truly deserved to be there... Julianne and Rosamund especially but we can add Sandra Hüller or even Rachel Mcadams.....
I can't get behind the Taraji P. Henson snub. I thought COLOR PURPLE was a shockingly bad movie. Andrew Scott, on the other hand, gave one of the great performances of the last few years. His snub still stings!
You are so right about the Anatomy of a Fall kid! My corrections would be: Barry Keoghan for Saltburn, Greta Lee for Past Lives. Sterling K Brown was waaaaaaaaay better than Melton though!
The acting talent from May/December and Saltburn was overlooked. Simply having previous nominations and known talent should not prevent future nominations. Let's focus on what the Oscars are supposed to be about: Acting.
Amy Adams' miss for Arrival is one of the biggest Oscar snubs in its history. So not sure how justifying Ruth Negga got in instead of her place makes sense.
Totally agreed on the top 3. I would have loved for Greta Lee to have made into best actress, a lovely and charming performance. And Andrew Scott would have been one of my all time favorite nominations, such a devastating performance though I actually did love Cooper in Maestro. Charles Melton definitely deserved a nomination and I wish SAG & BAFTA had supported May December more to have made it happen. And Rosamund Pike was incredible in Saltburn and would have been a great lone nomination for the film.
Milo Machado Graner getting snubbed reminds me of when Alan Kim got snubbed from Minari. Both child performances that deserve more Oscar love. The Academy usually overlook child acting performances especially for boys. Keep in mind Mackauley Culkin got snubbed by the Academy for Home Alone back in the early 90s, and that is up there as one of the best and most iconic child performances in cinema. Heck maybe even one of the best performances in Christmas movies along with James Stewart from It’s a Wonderful Life and the actor that starred as Santa Claus from Miracle on 34th Street.
I was rooting more for people like Sessa, Melton and Greta Lee, but I think Julianne Moore was the biggest snub by far. Supporting actor, lead actor and actress were all stacked, so it wasn’t as confusing when people like DiCaprio, Sessa, Lee, Scott, Margot and Melton missed. However supporting actress was not stacked at all and while I would’ve voted for Da’Vine, I think Moore would’ve easily been at least the second strongest in the category and I’m sorry but I just don’t understand how anyone could watch both Barbie and May December and say that Ferrera deserved to be nominated
I don’t really think I have any major acting snubs. I guess maybe Dominic Sessa in Best Supporting Actor for The Holdovers, but I don’t know who I’d swap out. Plus, I kinda all three main players in that movie to be leads anyway. I don’t see Giamatti as the main character is what I’m saying, I see three main characters. But whatever.
Andrew Scott is the only person here that even remotely feels like a snub…his film performance was the best of year to me. Margo Robbie certainly did not deserve an Oscar nom for Barbie. That’s like saying Rosie O’Donnell deserved one for playing Betty Rubble in the flinstones movie. Margo was a good choice for it, she did it justice….the end
Bang on about Margot Robbie! For all Ryan's and America's (and the daughter's!) terrific work, Margot bound it all together. Unique role, uniquely acted. I was MAD about that snub.😡😡
She’s super underrated in her movie. Many people didn’t get enough credit to her performance especially considering people give all the praise to Ryan Gosling.
I love your content. .. But! I think the term "SNUB" is such a loaded word. All your suggestion are great but I feel SNUB is pushing it. I would prefer the term "Honorable Mention". I really don't think anyone was snubbed this year.
Totally agree about Dominic Sessa. All three main actors in the film were brilliant, but it was because of the chemistry of the three of them. You can't nominate just two.
Andrew Scott should have been nominated and honestly with the line up he had it’d be a pretty easy win for him to. He’s fan fucking tastic with his portrayal of loneliness and grief. I’d prolly take out Jeffery Wright. Also these two would never happen but chukwudi iwuji and Patti lupone getting in the supporting categories for both of their masterclass in despicable scenery chewing would’ve been amazing. And as for who I would drop; as unpopular as it might be I’d drop Robert Downey jr and for actress I’d drop Emily blunt or America Ferrera.
I was surprised Holt McCallany didn’t get in for the iron claw really anywhere. While it was a stacked year for supporting actor I figured that type of character actor villain role would probably be the only nomination the movie got
Lead actors/actresses being snubbed in a beloved film isn't anything new during the award season. First example, Arrival. This film got nominated for almost every major category, but Amy Adams was MIA in the Best Actress category. The exact same thing happened with Captain Phillips and Blackklansman. Tom Hanks and John David Washington weren't nominated in the Lead category either ( despite their films receiving multiple nominations) Regarding the supporting actor category, I do agree that in a less competitive year, Dominic Sessa ( The Holdovers) and the young actor from Anatomy of the Fall would have easily been nominated for Oscars.
I think it’s crazy that Amy Adams didn’t get nominated for Arrival and Tom Hanks didn’t get nominated for Captain Phillips. Those are some of the biggest acting Oscar snubs in the last decade.
Dominic Sessa & Barry Keoghan deserved the nominations I’m glad BAFTA’s got it right!! Alsoooooo Andrew Scott who didn’t get any noms to begin with was totally subbed
@@laurajones1773 yeah I’m aware of that I just feel like he Atleast deserved a BAFTA nom or Oscar but I knew he wouldn’t get an Oscar nom so Atleast a BAFTA
thank you Brian, for this video, i totally agree with your point of view for this top 10... for me the biggest snub for this year Academy Awards is Penelope cruz for "Ferrari". I was so disappointed for her, but anyway she has already received 4 Oscar nods previously. it's a shame, but i will survive. BYE🥰😍😃😀😜🤪
I totally agree with all of your choices Brian, especially the Top 5 and their replacements!!! Still can't get over Ferrera's nomination and Robbie's, Scott's and Melton's snubs. Personally, I don't understand why Gosling's performance was worthy of a nomination either (I get it for Golden Globes, but Oscar?) when Margot was the best thing in Barbie.. also Bradley Cooper didn't need to be there for Best Actor. Maestro should have been nominated only for Cinematography and Make-up.
America Ferrera being nominated for that mediocre performance, and Julianne Moore, Rachel McAdams, Rosamund Pike or Penelope Cruz were snubbed... After that nomination, I see that it's easy u get an Oscar. Just make a huge campaign, deliver one speech and that's it... And before people come to say a lot, I'm not saying that Barbie is a bad movie, but it's not a movie that should have been nominated for acting categories. Ryan and America could have been out of the list.
Efron: Disagree. It's a just fine performance in a terrible film. Henson: Agree. By far the best performance of the movie. Brooks' performance is very shallow. Sessa: Agree. He was way better than Giamatti or Randolph. Milo: Agree. 100%. Can't believe they nominated Sterling K. Brown's horrible one note performance over Milo. Cage: Haven't seen Dream Scenario yet. Robbie: Kinda agree. In terms of Oscar taste, yes, probably. She did a better job as producer, though. But come on, BENING? Really? Just nominate Robbie. Disagree about Mulligan. She was fantastic. Pike: Agree. She was the best thing about that Tik Tok movie. I mean, supporting actress was so weak. So so weak. You could pretty much get rid of any of them. Melton: Agree. 100%. And should've won. Scott: Agree, 100000%. Best male performance of 2023 by a longshot. So, so incredible. Lee: Agree! She was great.
I agree with Melton. That was a powerhouse performance from an actor I had never even heard of. Also, I never understood the De Niro nomination. I think he’s a terrific actor and I enjoyed Flower Moon, but I didn’t think his performance was anything special. Especially compared to Gladstone and DiCaprio.
Milo Mechado Granier gave the best supporting acting performance this year. He deserved to WIN not just nominated. Taraji P Henson was my favorite performance in The Color Purple, but I think her off screen antics rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. She didn’t do her chances any favors by stirring up drama right before awards season started.
I would take Benning out. I adore her and think it’s criminal that she doesn’t have an Oscar yet, but her performance in Nyad is good but forgettable. I feel that she just got in because she’s a veteran and it’s the same type of performance that gets nominated every single year.
I wish we would stop this Oscar "snub" narrative. There's no such thing. Members vote on the options for nominees, then again for the win. It's not like there's someone arbitrarily picking the nominees and winners. Not making the cut is not a snub.
I have not been so enraptured and in love with a movie for many years as I was with All of Us Strangers. Let me put that out there. OK, I'm not saying it should have been nominated for Best Picture, though it would have had my vote. But the next two categories are something else. I didn't understand the nomination for Sterling K Brown in Supporting Actor. His performance felt out of place in that movie, and incidental. Sessa was very good in The Holdovers as was Dafoe in Poor Things too. But Paul Mescal's performance in All of Us Strangers was so good, so real and his chemistry with Andrew Scott so electric, to me he should have been nominated for the final spot ahead of the three actors just mentioned. Speaking of Andrew Scott, his performance as Adam in that film just blew me away. I have never been touched and effected down to my core by a performance in a film like I was with Andrew Scott. Ever. Yes, it was a fantastic role. Yes, I identified with his character. Yes, the film was a glorious and transcending experience. But Scott was pitch perfect down to every gesture, smile, tear. With every look into his eyes they spoke to me. Like you said, he should have been nominated over Bradley Cooper in Best Actor. I also loved Claire Foy and Jamie Bell. But Brian, I know you loved the movie too but I don't understand a) how you gave the movie only an 8.5, and b) how the movie didn't get in your Top 5, much less your Top 10. Love your work!

I totally agree about Andrew Scott! An acting masterclass role!
I haven't fell for a priest like his Fleabag role since Gene Hackman in the Poseidon Adventure when I as 8.
Hurts my hearts to NO END that “all of us strangers” was snubbed completely. Andrew Scott was brilliant.
I saw Iron Claw and All of Us Strangers after the awards season and I couldn't believe how both films were snubbed especially in the acting categories!
Sessa's role was great, can't wait to see more of him
Same with the kiddo from Anatomy of a Fall, so many talented youngsters
Someday, a dog will be nominted
And probably win
Messi will return with a vengeance
I would vote for the dog
It would be interesting to see if an animal actor would be nominated. I wonder if the Academy would allow that
Well the Academy never nominates a voice over performance before, so of course the Academy never nominates an animal performance like a dog.
Dominic Sessa should have been nominated for The Holdovers.
True. I would insert him (or Melton) and take out Sterling.
Real

Agree 100%
Charles Melton was wonderful in May December. However, I don’t think he was overlooked. Dominic Sessa would have had a better chance than Melton
Sessa was great but it’d be category fraud to put him in supporting.

I was rooting more for people like Sessa, Melton and Greta Lee, but I think Julianne Moore was the biggest snub by far. Supporting actor, lead actor and actress were all stacked, so it wasn’t as confusing when people like DiCaprio, Sessa, Lee, Scott, Margot and Melton missed. However supporting actress was not stacked at all and while I would’ve voted for Da’Vine, I think Moore would’ve easily been at least the second strongest in the category and I’m sorry but I just don’t understand how anyone could watch both Barbie and May December and say that Ferrera deserved to be nominated
I don’t really think I have any major acting snubs. I guess maybe Dominic Sessa in Best Supporting Actor for The Holdovers, but I don’t know who I’d swap out. Plus, I kinda all three main players in that movie to be leads anyway. I don’t see Giamatti as the main character is what I’m saying, I see three main characters. But whatever.
I would nominate Dominic Sessa over Sterling K. Brown.
@@laurajones1773me too
I'm so glad that you mentioned Nilo from Anatomy of a Fall. That was my favorite performance of the year.
He’s my favorite supporting actor performance from last year.
He always shows up when the camera is still zooming in
Andrew Scott is the only person here that even remotely feels like a snub…his film performance was the best of year to me.
Margo Robbie certainly did not deserve an Oscar nom for Barbie. That’s like saying Rosie O’Donnell deserved one for playing Betty Rubble in the flinstones movie. Margo was a good choice for it, she did it justice….the end
It would be so cool to see the numbers to see how close some of these were to getting in
YES! Finally more Meryl Streep and the Oscars ❤❤
Bang on about Margot Robbie! For all Ryan's and America's (and the daughter's!) terrific work, Margot bound it all together. Unique role, uniquely acted. I was MAD about that snub.😡😡
gonna throw my favorite acting performance of the year, Natalie Portman in May December, in there
The entire cast of All of Us Strangers, the film, and director should have swept the Oscars. best movie of the year. By far.
I agree about Margot for Barbie 🙌🏻
Her performance is so underrated, she gave the best one in the film if you ask me.
@@poett8875 Yea she did!!
She’s super underrated in her movie. Many people didn’t get enough credit to her performance especially considering people give all the praise to Ryan Gosling.
she deserved an Oscar for playing a goddamn DOLL? give Oscar voters a break.
@@poett8875 she was the lead yet Gosling stole the show so she wanst underrated she just didnt do good enough to stand out as the lead
I would add Sandra Huller to the list for The Zone of Interest. I think she gave the best top two performances of the last year.
I wish she was double nominated this year.
Greta Lee deserves better. 😭🙏🏻❤️
Same with Teo Yoo.
@@laurajones1773Well, at least he got a BAFTA nom and did attending to the Oscar. While Greta Lee didn’t get that chance at all. 😭
I love your content. .. But! I think the term "SNUB" is such a loaded word. All your suggestion are great but I feel SNUB is pushing it. I would prefer the term "Honorable Mention". I really don't think anyone was snubbed this year.
Totally agree about Dominic Sessa. All three main actors in the film were brilliant, but it was because of the chemistry of the three of them. You can't nominate just two.
Andrew Scott should have been nominated and honestly with the line up he had it’d be a pretty easy win for him to. He’s fan fucking tastic with his portrayal of loneliness and grief. I’d prolly take out Jeffery Wright. Also these two would never happen but chukwudi iwuji and Patti lupone getting in the supporting categories for both of their masterclass in despicable scenery chewing would’ve been amazing. And as for who I would drop; as unpopular as it might be I’d drop Robert Downey jr and for actress I’d drop Emily blunt or America Ferrera.
Well, what do you expect. It was a busy year for movies. You can’t always get what you want.
Exactly.
Andrew scott, zac Efron, Charles Melton were the biggest snubs
Alexander Payne should have been nominated for Best Director.
I was surprised Holt McCallany didn’t get in for the iron claw really anywhere. While it was a stacked year for supporting actor I figured that type of character actor villain role would probably be the only nomination the movie got
Lead actors/actresses being snubbed in a beloved film isn't anything new during the award season. First example, Arrival. This film got nominated for almost every major category, but Amy Adams was MIA in the Best Actress category. The exact same thing happened with Captain Phillips and Blackklansman. Tom Hanks and John David Washington weren't nominated in the Lead category either ( despite their films receiving multiple nominations)
Regarding the supporting actor category, I do agree that in a less competitive year, Dominic Sessa ( The Holdovers) and the young actor from Anatomy of the Fall would have easily been nominated for Oscars.
I think it’s crazy that Amy Adams didn’t get nominated for Arrival and Tom Hanks didn’t get nominated for Captain Phillips. Those are some of the biggest acting Oscar snubs in the last decade.
Dominic Sessa & Barry Keoghan deserved the nominations I’m glad BAFTA’s got it right!! Alsoooooo Andrew Scott who didn’t get any noms to begin with was totally subbed
Andrew Scott did get nominated at Golden Globes though.
@@laurajones1773 yeah I’m aware of that I just feel like he Atleast deserved a BAFTA nom or Oscar but I knew he wouldn’t get an Oscar nom so Atleast a BAFTA
Dominic Sessa was so good in the Holdovers! What a debut!😊❤
Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, Andrew Scott should’ve all been nominated
Julianne Moore was snubbed too. The Academy just hated the subject matter of May December.
All of Us Strangers, I just watched it now. Holy crap!!! The screenplay should have been nominated.....robbed 😮
I thought Saltburn was okay but seeing Emerald deny being inspired by The Talented Mr Ripley pissed me off lol
‘Saltburn’ should not only have been nominated but should have won Best Picture. Ditto for Barry Keoghan!
thank you Brian, for this video, i totally agree with your point of view for this top 10... for me the biggest snub for this year Academy Awards is Penelope cruz for "Ferrari". I was so disappointed for her, but anyway she has already received 4 Oscar nods previously. it's a shame, but i will survive. BYE🥰😍😃😀😜🤪
I totally agree with all of your choices Brian, especially the Top 5 and their replacements!!! Still can't get over Ferrera's nomination and Robbie's, Scott's and Melton's snubs. Personally, I don't understand why Gosling's performance was worthy of a nomination either (I get it for Golden Globes, but Oscar?) when Margot was the best thing in Barbie.. also Bradley Cooper didn't need to be there for Best Actor. Maestro should have been nominated only for Cinematography and Make-up.
I am a Meryl Streep fan, but an even bigger Glenn Close fan.
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
America Ferrera being nominated for that mediocre performance, and Julianne Moore, Rachel McAdams, Rosamund Pike or Penelope Cruz were snubbed... After that nomination, I see that it's easy u get an Oscar. Just make a huge campaign, deliver one speech and that's it...
And before people come to say a lot, I'm not saying that Barbie is a bad movie, but it's not a movie that should have been nominated for acting categories. Ryan and America could have been out of the list.
Best Actor was not overtly competitive. Andrew Scott and Zac Efron were vetter than Colman, Giamatti, and Wright. These 2 were easily robbed
Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard were marvelous in Memory 💔
Efron: Disagree. It's a just fine performance in a terrible film.
Henson: Agree. By far the best performance of the movie. Brooks' performance is very shallow.
Sessa: Agree. He was way better than Giamatti or Randolph.
Milo: Agree. 100%. Can't believe they nominated Sterling K. Brown's horrible one note performance over Milo.
Cage: Haven't seen Dream Scenario yet.
Robbie: Kinda agree. In terms of Oscar taste, yes, probably. She did a better job as producer, though. But come on, BENING? Really? Just nominate Robbie. Disagree about Mulligan. She was fantastic.
Pike: Agree. She was the best thing about that Tik Tok movie. I mean, supporting actress was so weak. So so weak. You could pretty much get rid of any of them.
Melton: Agree. 100%. And should've won.
Scott: Agree, 100000%. Best male performance of 2023 by a longshot. So, so incredible.
Lee: Agree! She was great.
Thank you for putting Greta Lee at number one.
I am requesting a Best Picture of 2000 video with American Beauty winning. (I think that was the best picture but I know it was a controversial win).
I understand why it is controversial. I thought that film sucked and doesn’t age well.
I agree with Melton. That was a powerhouse performance from an actor I had never even heard of. Also, I never understood the De Niro nomination. I think he’s a terrific actor and I enjoyed Flower Moon, but I didn’t think his performance was anything special. Especially compared to Gladstone and DiCaprio.
Milo Mechado Granier gave the best supporting acting performance this year. He deserved to WIN not just nominated. Taraji P Henson was my favorite performance in The Color Purple, but I think her off screen antics rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. She didn’t do her chances any favors by stirring up drama right before awards season started.
Would rather take out Mulligan instead of Benning to put in Robbie? I do not see Benning in Nyad being more remarkable than Mulligan in any way
I would take Benning out. I adore her and think it’s criminal that she doesn’t have an Oscar yet, but her performance in Nyad is good but forgettable. I feel that she just got in because she’s a veteran and it’s the same type of performance that gets nominated every single year.
🤔
I think Carey Mulligan is way better than Annette Bening personally.
Not judging either way I liked Mulligan and Bening but he did swap out Bening for Greta Lee.
@@kellie-nd1yp true
I wish we would stop this Oscar "snub" narrative. There's no such thing. Members vote on the options for nominees, then again for the win. It's not like there's someone arbitrarily picking the nominees and winners. Not making the cut is not a snub.
Chris Messina Supp Actor - AIR; not that I didn't like his performance, but I would have removed DeNiro from Supp Actor nominees
Have you checked Totem from director Lila Avilés?
Probably unpopular opinion, but I still think Leo in Killers of the Flower Moon was fantastic
No need for a musical film version of "Color Purple". Maybe on Broadway, but not on the big screen.
I have not been so enraptured and in love with a movie for many years as I was with All of Us Strangers. Let me put that out there. OK, I'm not saying it should have been nominated for Best Picture, though it would have had my vote. But the next two categories are something else.
I didn't understand the nomination for Sterling K Brown in Supporting Actor. His performance felt out of place in that movie, and incidental. Sessa was very good in The Holdovers as was Dafoe in Poor Things too. But Paul Mescal's performance in All of Us Strangers was so good, so real and his chemistry with Andrew Scott so electric, to me he should have been nominated for the final spot ahead of the three actors just mentioned.
Speaking of Andrew Scott, his performance as Adam in that film just blew me away. I have never been touched and effected down to my core by a performance in a film like I was with Andrew Scott. Ever. Yes, it was a fantastic role. Yes, I identified with his character. Yes, the film was a glorious and transcending experience. But Scott was pitch perfect down to every gesture, smile, tear. With every look into his eyes they spoke to me. Like you said, he should have been nominated over Bradley Cooper in Best Actor.
I also loved Claire Foy and Jamie Bell.
But Brian, I know you loved the movie too but I don't understand a) how you gave the movie only an 8.5, and b) how the movie didn't get in your Top 5, much less your Top 10.
Love your work!
Rachel McAdams should be here. 100%.
She gets snubbed again...even in a video about snubs 🤭
