ok, after finally seeing Living I'm ready to put a bow on 2022 for good (for now). I've seen all the feature-length Oscar nominees minus Close and All that Breathes (and don't @ me about that, I'm finito) so I'm content to call it quits and get back to watching some damn 50s movies. 2022 was a so-so year for me. Kind of like 2019 and 2017 where there were lots of solid films but also lots of disappointments and only two or three films to be really passionate about. Much better than 2020 but a deep dive from 2021's euphoric highs. There will be some painful omissions (particularly in actress, cinematography, and score) but not nearly as many as last year. Not to be too much of a downer... there's plenty to celebrate about 2022. McDonagh dropped his greatest film yet (and maybe the best Irish film of all time), Park Chan-wook resurrected Hitchcock with the deliciously twisty Decision to Leave, Edward Berger dropped an antiwar film that hones in on the horror of Remarque's novel while expanding on its world, somehow Robert Eggers secured $80 mil to make a blood n' guts Viking horror jam and I think that's amazing, and Puss in Boots showed that sometimes even macho gatos need therapy dogs. full list of the 137 films we're working with - released theatrically or on streamers between Jan 1st and Dec. 31st Aftersun

S. Rajamouli BEST DEBUT FEATUREAftersun — Charlotte Wells The Fallout — Megan Park Fresh — Mimi Cave The Quiet Girl — Colm Bairéad Smile — Parker Finn ____________________________________________________ statistics-- All Quiet on the Western Front leads the pack with 11 nominations, Banshees is next in line with 10, and Northman nabbed 8. -- with 8 noms, The Northman is the most-nominated film not in the BP field. -- A total of 49 films are nominated (if I counted right lol) across 23 categories, up 5 from last year's 44. -- The Wonder is our newest addition to the Three Nominees BP Club. Florence Pugh just had a tough category but Kila Lord Cassidy was close and I can't wait to see where her acting journey goes next. This film flew under a lot of people's radar but I swear its baked-in skepticism and atmospheric eeriness set against a backdrop of self-imposed Irish Catholic suffering was made just for me and I loved it. -- Most painful omissions of the night were Viola Davis, Miss Flo for The Wonder, and Aubrey Plaza. Cinematography was also brutal with Decision to Leave, The Batman, and Top Gun missing out. Other painful skips: Louise Ford's editing for Northman, Reznor & Ross's soulful Empire of Light score, Nope for sound mixing, The Territory for best doc. --My lowest-ranked film to receive a nomination is White Noise at #121. Highest-ranked film not to receive any nominations is The Territory at #23. -- Three films in the Academy's BP lineup were completely shut-out tonight just like last year. In a weaker year Elvis would've been a shoo-in for some tech nods but the other two weren't close. -- Moonage Daydream joins Apollo 11 as only the second documentary I've nominated outside the doc field. Both received single noms for sound mixing and nothing else. For the record I liked Moonage a lot more than Apollo but the 2022 doc pool was just too competitive for it to sneak in. -- that's all for now! winners to be announced... TBA! I'll probably end up doing these after the Oscars. I was off all last week so this past Sunday would've been perfect if only Living had dropped to VOD like a week sooner  |

Starting as always with debut, doc and IFF. BEST DEBUT FEATUREAftersun — Charlotte Wells The Fallout — Megan Park Fresh — Mimi Cave The Quiet Girl — Colm Bairéad Smile — Parker Finn AND THE WINNER ISTHE QUIET GIRL — Directed by Colm Bairéad One of the slowest-paced films of the year but also one of the kindest and most rewarding, The Quiet Girl like many Irish stories is about the search for home. It's a film that thrives on intimations of feelings left unsaid but deeply felt, and it's in those moments between the silences that Bairéad demonstrates his compassionate grasp of the material and conveys it powerfully, punctuating his subtle realist approach with stirring music that lifts the film off the ground into the realm of the spiritual. Bairéad provides just enough narrative context and cinematic flair to meet the viewer halfway and let the film thrive in the our imaginations.  BEST DOCUMENTARYAll the Beauty and the Bloodshed
Fire of Love
Jackass Forever
Last Flight Home
This Much I Know to Be TrueAND THE WINNER ISLAST FLIGHT HOME — Directed by Ondi Timoner Part biography and part eulogy to Eli Timonor by his family, Last Flight Home is an intimate reckoning with legacy and death. Eli's decision to pass on via assisted dying offered daughter Ondi an opportunity to capture on film the uniquely devastating experience of navigating the mind-numbing regulatory maze of legally killing yourself in the state of California. So personal as to be almost exploitationist, it's the kind of singluarity and realism I yearn for in documentaries. The film is deeply uncomfortable, arguably un-cimenatic in its mundane presentation, and as far as I can remember the only doc I've seen to feature its subject dying onscreen surrounded by loved ones saying goodbye.  BEST INTERNATIONAL FEATURE FILMAll Quiet on the Western Front
Argentina, 1985
Decision to Leave
The Quiet Girl
RRRAND THE WINNER ISDECISION TO LEAVE — Directed by Park Chan-wook A deliciously twisted combination love story and murder mystery immaculately crafted by a master director. In a cinematic landscape growing increasingly homogenous, Decision to Leave revives the Hithcockian thriller to cleverly tell a new story in an old format, and like Bong's Parasite before it, Park's film is the most original of its year and a breath of fresh air. You feel his grasp on every frame.  |

next up, first round of techs ACHIEVEMENT IN CHOREOGRAPHYEverything Everywhere All at Once
Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical
RRR
Top Gun: Maverick
The Woman KingAND THE WINNER ISRRR — Prem Rakshith (dance), Ivan Kostadinov & Raicho Vasilev (fight / stunts) and lots of other people Last year this award went to West Side Story which felt choreographed even beyond the dance numbers, and that's even more true of RRR which might be the most choreographed movie I've seen. From the intricately designed dances (impossible not to watch without a huge grin) to the gloriously over-the-top fight scenes, to the moments in between, there's intention in every movement and every gesture.  ACHIEVEMENT IN FILM EDITINGAll Quiet on the Western Front
Decision to Leave
Everything Everywhere All at Once
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Top Gun: MaverickAND THE WINNER ISDECISION TO LEAVE — Kim Sang-bum I already said in another thread that Kim Sang-bum's was easily the editing of the year for me so this might not come as a surprise but this was an easy choice. Weaving fluidly between fantasy, memory, and the unreliable POV of its infatuated protagonist, Decision to Leave is a masterclass in buildup and payoff where you can trust that everything you see that Park and Kim *want* you to see matters.  ACHIEVEMENT IN VISUAL EFFECTSAll Quiet on the Western Front
Avatar: The Way of Water
Nope
The Northman
Top Gun: MaverickAND THE WINNER ISAVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER — Joe Letteri, Richard Baneham, Eric Saindon, Daniel Barrett I don't think anyone needs another paragraph about Avatar's VFX at this point, but that just speaks to the obviousness of its greatness. In 2009, James Cameron introduced us to a whole new world, and through years of work with production designers Cole & Proctor, DP Carpenter, and the VFX artists who make it all real, Cameron has done it again. To say nothing of the battle scenes and innovative character animation, Way of Water's stunning VFX introduces us to a whole new set of alien flora and fauna to make Pandora feel bigger and more beautiful than ever.  ACHIEVEMENT IN CINEMATOGRAPHYAll Quiet on the Western Front
The Banshees of Inisherin
Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths
Empire of Light
The NorthmanAND THE WINNER ISTHE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN — Ben Davis The least showy of the nominees but I can't deny Davis's obvious influences from classic cinema in his rendering of beautiful but harsh Irish vistas, recalling the resplendent landscapes shot by David Watkin (I'm thinking especially Chariots of Fire) and the moody earthiness of 70s and 80s Sven Nykvist. Contrasting dimly lit Rembrandt interiors with gargantuan establishing shots underneath colossal indifferent heavens, no other film from 2022 (or the last several years) looks like this one or offers a more complete or painfully conflicted sense of place. With Banshees, McDonagh and Davis endeavored to make "the most beautiful Irish movie" they could, and they succeeded.  |

and now, sound & music ACHIEVEMENT IN SOUND EDITINGAll Quiet on the Western Front
Avatar: The Way of Water
Nope
Thirteen
Top Gun: MaverickAND THE WINNER ISTOP GUN: MAVERICK — James Mather, Al Nelson, Bjorn Ole Schroeder
Top Gun takes it for the overpowering whooshes and G's of 21st century fighter jets. If the practical effects and stunts brought viewers into the skies, the impenetrable wall of sound recorded with Navy jet engines by foley artists and precisely engineered by the sound editors kept them up there.
ACHIEVEMENT IN SOUND MIXINGAll Quiet on the Western Front
Athena
Moonage Daydream
The Northman
Top Gun: MaverickAND THE WINNER ISALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT — Viktor Prasil, Lars Ginzel, Stefan Korte
Sonically, All Quiet on the Western Front is the total package. A crushing submersion into the chaotic hell of WWI trench warfare. The competing atmospheric sound effects of war happening on all sides with the bloodcurdling screams of fallen comrades mixed with Volker Bertelmann's chilling score places you and keeps you in No Man's Land.
ACHIEVEMENT IN ORIGINAL SCOREAll Quiet on the Western FrontThe Banshees of InisherinBones and AllThe MenuWomen TalkingAND THE WINNER ISBONES AND ALL — Music composed by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross
The score works on two levels, playing to the film's horror in its darker more menacing ambient moments but also to its quintessentially American love story. The serene, pastoral acoustics on "I'm With You" and "Normal People" echo Gustavo Santaolalla's Brokeback Mountain score, but on both "Great Wide Open" and its reprise, the music thrillingly opens up in a breathtaking orchestration reminiscent of 90s James Horner, finding splendor in the American Midwest.
BEST ORIGINAL SONG"Etthara Jenda" — RRR"Hold My Hand" — Top Gun: Maverick"Lift Me Up" — Black Panther: Wakanda Forever"Naatu Naatu" — RRR"New Body Rhumba" — White NoiseAND THE WINNER IS"HOLD MY HAND" — TOP GUN: MAVERICK; Music and lyrics by Lady Gaga and BloodPop
The RRR tracks and Riri gave her a run for her money, but Gaga had this in the bag since the first moment I saw Top Gun in IMAX and the song kicked in right when Tom Cruise puts his hand over Jennifer Connelly's. True to the movie's intense nostalgic pull, Gaga wrote an 80s blockbuster pop tie-in with a soaring vocal performance and power ballad instrumentation that could stand toe-to-toe with "Time of My Life" and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" and I haven't stopped listening since last summer.

up next, the craft techs ACHIEVEMENT IN MAKEUP AND HAIRSTYLINGAll Quiet on the Western Front
The Batman
Crimes of the Future
The Northman
Roald Dahl's Matilda the MusicalAND THE WINNER ISALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT - Heike Merker & Linda Eisenhamerova Shout-out to the Batman for those Penguin prosthetics but All Quiet on the Western Front gave us the most brutally realistic makeup effects this side of The Revenant. Director Edward Berger said he wanted to "drag the audience through the mud" and through the work of makeup designers Merker & Eisenhamerova, Western Front does just that. Mud is a constant presence in the film and Heike Merker developed many different varieties in varying colors and consistencies to layer onto the characters, keeping them in a constant state of squalor and degradation.  ACHIEVEMENT IN COSTUME DESIGNBlack Panther: Wakanda ForeverCorsageThe NorthmanThree Thousand Years of LongingThe Woman KingAND THE WINNER ISTHE NORTHMAN — Linda Muir Black Panther and Corsage take it for sheer volume of exquisite work and many of Muir's homespun Northman costumes are fairly modest in comparison, but the standout outfits — Björk's seeress with her giant barley headdress, Fjölnir’s cloak and fearsome helmet in the ambush scene, Kidman's bejeweled fur-lined cloaks, the stunning Valkyrie in her gold armor and flowing red cloak — are unforgettable. The fact that most of these meticulously researched and designed outfits is historically accurate adds to their greatness. Eggers wanted to shine a light on this oft-overlooked and rarely seen culture and Muir's costumes (among many other things) helped him achieve that goal.  ACHIEVEMENT IN PRODUCTION DESIGNAll Quiet on the Western FrontBabylonBardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of TruthsThe NorthmanThe Woman KingAND THE WINNER ISBABYLON — Florencia Martin With its expensive price tag and grand ideas about Hollywood and storytelling, Babylon was one of the most ambitious films of 2022. Nowhere is that ambition felt more than in Florencia Martin's lavish production design, turning LA into a character in its own right and tracing its evolution through Hollywood's transition from silent movies to talkies as sets constructed en masse in the desert gave way to giant sets on sprawling sound stages. In between, Martin captures the architecture of the old LA from the ornate mansions of its highest echelons to its sleazy criminal underbelly, and, through careful location scouting and hand-crafted design, set the stage for Chazelle's messy vision of the decadence, heartbreak and magic of early Hollywood.  |

on to the above-the-line categories BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAYThe Banshees of Inisherin
Benediction
Decision to Leave
Everything Everywhere All at Once
The MenuAND THE WINNER ISTHE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN — Screenplay by Martin McDonagh McDonagh proves again his penchant for snappy humorous dialogue through use of repetition but implicit to Banshees' greatness is how all its characters find themselves at a crossroads, unsure of their place in the world or with each other. McDonagh uses imaginatively specific plot elements (self-mutilation to make a point) to tell an instantly recognizable and painful story of one's world thrown into chaos by a single severed interpersonal connection and its increasingly savage ripple effects.  BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAYEmergency
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Living
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
The WonderAND THE WINNER ISPUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH — Screenplay by Paul Fisher, Tommy Swerdlow, Tom Wheeler With its spitfire jokes, fun quest plot, delightful voicework and poignant themes, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is the best animated film I've seen in years. The screenplay strikes the perfect balance between the film's competing need to appeal to young viewers but also their parents, to deliver clever self-aware jokes without undercutting its essential earnestness, and ultimately providing an experience that moves and excites and delights in equal measure. There's something for everyone in Puss in Boots.  BEST ENSEMBLE CASTThe Banshees of Inisherin
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
The Menu
Women Talking
The Woman KingAND THE WINNER ISTHE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN — Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Kerry Condon, Barry Keoghan, Gary Lydon, Pat Shortt, Sheila Flitton, Bríd Ní Neachtain, Jon Kenny, Aaron Monaghan, David Pearse This should come as no surprise given how many acting noms I gave it but there simply was no other choice. Even Beyond the four immaculate mains, there's Gary Lydon as the surly local policeman, Sheila Flitton as the ever-watching Mrs. McCormick, Bríd Ní Neachtain as the nosy postmistress, and the genial Pat Shortt as the local pub-owner — the film is brimming with Irish talent that bring the island of Inisherin to life.  |
