Lupita in Us. She and the movie are in disagreement, she goes vanilla bonkers and the movie profoundly vanilla. She’s very good at the beginning but once the doubles appear, there are long sequences when she’s just running around with a blank expression or holding a knife. To this day, I haven’t seen her in a movie that is up to her talent.
If Shuzen Zhao starts getting noms as has been predicted, well... she’s in the movie, as I recall. The aunt was better.

Florence Pugh in Midsommar. It's maybe because I hated the film, but her performance did nothing for me. I found it extremely stilted and one-note. If she has to be praised for a performance this year, then it should be for Fighting With My Family, which she was definitely great in.

Pattinson in The Lighthouse. Dafoe took him to acting school. It was embarrassing.

Renee Zellweger in Judy. An okay-to-bad performance in a terrible movie. That was hard to watch.
And Joe Pesci in The Irishman, who is quite good but nowhere as near to be the MVP in an ensemble where Pacino, De Niro and even Paquin deliver more memorable performances.

Kelvin Harrison Jr. in "Luce" is an easy #1 pick for me - the guy overdoes the niceness part so much that any thought of ambiguousness (that the movie is so desperate to elciit) is evaporated.
Laura Dern in "Marriage Story" is nothing to write home about.
Beanie Feldstein in "Booksmart" is okay but I didn't see anything remarkable there especially when there's Kaitlyn Dever right there.
And although he was good, I was still kind of underwhelmed by Jonathan Pryce in "The Two Popes".

I mentioned Pitt in OUATIH but having seen Marriage Story since then, I really can't see why Brad and Dern winning the Oscar is something so undeniable...

I have called Dern possibly the best American actress of her generation since a very long time so I'm happy if she win one at this point but I still haven't watched Marriage Story. I can live with Pitt staying oscarless (acting) and having seen OUATIH I don't get the hype, I don't even get why critics went for this kind of cool, movie star performance. Regardless for the quality of the performance, I can understand why critics embraced something like Affleck in Manchester but Pitt here, I don't really get it. And as far as performance goes, Leo OWNS that film. Terry your signature gif kind of bugs me, when the flash appears, everything in the background seems completely normal but DeNiro and especially Pacino positions are different, my brain don't like that ! I need to rewatch the whole scene.

I bet you aren't good at the "Spot The Difference" game Look at Pacino's head/face and De Niro hands, they clearly have a different position during the flash while everything in the background is the same before and after the flash.

No, I never was!! Ok, for Pacino is now obvious (kind of). But for De Niro's hands, no, I don't see anything weird...

Phoenix, everyone involved in OUATIH minus Julia Butters, and Nyong'o's walking PSA about the dangers of chainsmoking.
