-It's crazy to see Nicole Kidman's performance in The Northman get ignored by the Oscars in a year with a pretty barren BSA category, especially when that dreck Being the Ricardos was recognized last year. This ^ ......so much this.........I'm not even a particular fan of hers (I mock her a lot too, but I like her sometimes) and I'm not a fan of the movie either .........but this was the best she's been in a looooooooooooooooong time...........that's got a career highlight reel scene of hers imo.........very baffling to see it ignored......

Completely agreed. Her big scene is probably my favourite acting moment of 2022, and she's my personal BSA winner right now. Wish we got a bit more of her to really round out the character, but keeping her under wraps is also part of what makes that big scene so powerful.

* There was not a great movie directed by a female - in English.....in 2022 Joanna Hogg's The Eternal Daughter is the closest to being great for me - I can't imagine it won't make my Top 10 - I loved its atmosphere and I think this is one of Swinton's best-ever performances.

as a more meta response: nobody here has any idea about the 2022 movie landscape. i mean saying that something wasn't that great or whatever is one thing, but like, how many of you have seen the serra movie from 2022 or the kohlberger featurette that leaked recently or the bonnello movie that screened in a few places etc etc. it's so silly to me to get hung up on year end things when it's going to be at least 12 more months before we have "most" things

-Of the three murder mysteries to come out this year, See How They Run was the overall best. Glass Onion would've beaten it if it didn't blow it in the final act. Amsterdam is the clear loser, though.

You're the 3rd person to recommend this to me Tyler.......looking forward to seeing it .........nothing has snuck into my Top 10 for a while now - although Godland was close in the last few weeks.......

Glass Onion was okay and an improvement on Knives Out but See How They Run was the best of the glut of mystery movies this year.
Blonde is okay and AdA deserved her nod.
EEAAO and Women Talking are both varying degrees of shitty. If the Academy thinks either of those are better than Tar or Fabelmans I just don't even know anymore.....

It just has to be said. Ana de Armas deserves a fucking Razzie, not an Oscar nomination, for her hentai rendition of Marilyn Monroe in Blonde. She's pure, pure garbage in the film. One of the worst Oscar nominated performances of all time.

I really didn't like To Leslie, and while I liked Riseborough in the movie just fine, I would not have placed her on my ballot if I were an Academy member.
Please don't @ me.

What did you think of the movie as a whole? And Allison Janney? My post on the "Last Movie You Watched" thread: So this is getting a bit of a spike in notoriety due to an apparently vigorous campaign by actors for Andrea Riseborough. As well they should -- she's phenomenal, as per usual, and she is giving a mightily raw performance of a woman pushed to the razor's edge due to her own bad choices in life and lack of self-control. But it is very much a movie that hangs so much of itself on the lead performance, it finds itself flagging when it tries to propel itself along, to the point that Riseborough is hauling the movie scene by scene by her teeth. The film does get better after the first act, when Leslie finds herself the recipient of tender mercy from an unexpected savior in the form of Marc Maron (who's decent but badly shafted by the story in terms of characterization), and there are some sweet moments in it... but Riseborough is the reason to watch this. But she is ferocious, and even though I think an Oscar nod is probably not in the cards, I'd want to see her in the race more than most of her competition.I wound up adding her to my predictions the next day.

stephen - The movie and Riseborough felt very Cassavetes/Rowlands-lite to me, but obviously I'm in the minority of those who've seen it. Did you find Janney and the other proverbial village idiots a bit... cartoonish?

I mean, I know people who act just like them, for better and worse, so I can't say they struck me as anything less than uncomfortably real to me.

One thing I definitely enjoyed about the movie was the interesting mother-son dynamic between Riseborough and Owen Teague - I got pages and pages of backstory from their brief time together onscreen - that's obviously a testament to the actors and their chemistry.

Andrea Riseborough is fully deserving of her nomination and is miles better than the snubbed Davis and Deadwyler

I don't know how controversial it is, but 2022 might be the worst year for movies that I can remember, and that includes 2020 when the world slipped into a deadly pandemic and nobody was releasing movies.

Did you find Janney and the other proverbial village idiots a bit... cartoonish? I agree with you. The movie is quite bad, Janney and Maron's characters in particular are extremely poorly-written. Riseborough is pretty good in it with some great moments, but I wouldn't put her anywhere near a ballot. She's better than Williams, who's wildly inconsistent, and de Armas, who's abominable, but that's about it. I would much rather see Deadwyler or Davis nominated instead. I also find the whole situation ironic as Allison Janney has given imo one of the greatest portrayals of alcoholics ever in a show with a much better character arc than Leslie (Bonnie Plunkett in Mom). To Leslie just feels super amateurish in comparison.

It’s really great and pretty much verbatim to the scene in the movie. Not that I remember but it vaguely rings a bell. Everything about the ending was delightful down to that last camera angle change to make it interesting.
