Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971) Best Actor - Peter Finch Best Actress - Glenda Jackson Best Director - John Schlesinger Best Adapted Screenplay - Penelope Gilliatt
Amazing, I totally forgot that this was written by a woman. What's more amazing is how much this film stands up today! Sclesinger was a master when he wasn't being forced to make dreck in order to survive financially: "The Believers", "Pacific Heights".
& The Purple Rose of Cairo
Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen - Woody Allen
I always say, to myself, without being silly, "The Purple Rose of Kinkos" when I hear the movie mentioned. Certainly rather stupid, but in all honesty, I love that movie and consider it Allen's best film of the 90's! It is just, quite simply, sublime, perfect, transcendent!
But to address the question, since I am a film critic, my answer to the poll, is quite massive as you can see here:
I've been posting my Top 50 Films for 11 years now on Youtube. This year has been the oddest, most unpredictable and the most surreptitiously gratifying year for Oscars since....well, forever. Covid clearly sucked, but because a lot of big gun movies that were expected to be major contenders in 2020 (Dune, West Side Story, Memoria, Three Thousand Years of Longing, The French Dispatch, Tromperie, Bergman Island, etc...) bowed out until the pandemic subsided (which is hopefully NOW!). Consequentially, the Oscar nominations, which will be announced, revealed tomorrow, should be the most unpredictable, shocking, and just down-right odd contest since the 70's! However, if I were an AMPAS member, my choices for the acting nominees would be perhaps absurd! The Actress categories were such a bloodbath, mostly because the last 12 to 14 months were an incredible embarrassment of riches; however, not so much for the men. Nevertheless, here is my no guts, no glory predictions. Granted, I will most likely be off by a LOT, but sticking your neck out is almost more fun then picking the safest choices!
Best Supporting Actor:
Paul Raci - Sound of Metal
Leslie Odem - One Night in Miami
Orion Lee - First Cow
Frank Langella - The Trial of the Chicago 7
Kingsley Ben Adir - One Night in Miami
Richard Jenkins - Kajillionaire
Best Supporting Actress:
Olivia Coleman - The Father
Dominique Fishback - Judas and the Black Messiah
Jane Adams - She Dies Tomorrow
Youn Yuh-jung - Minari
Alison Janney - Bad Education
Amanda Seyfried - Mank
Best Actor:
Anthony Hopkins - The Father
Hugh Jackman - Bad Education
Kai Luke Brummer - Moffie
Driveways - Brian Dennahey
Riz Ahmed - Sound of Metal
Delroy Lindro - Da 5 Bloods
Best Actress:
Aubrey Plaza - Black Bear
Frances McDormand - Nomadland
Evan Rachel Wood - Kajillionaire
Carrie Coon - The Nest
Carey Mulligan - Promising Young Woman
Morfydd Clark - Saint Maud
I just noticed, funnily, that my stats are inverted from BAFTA with 7 people of colour and the rest white (I'm fine with that). Also, it should be Brian Dennahey who is getting that posthumous Oscar nomination, not necessarily Chadwick Boseman. Dennahey had an extraordinary career in movies, and won 2 or 3 Tony Awards, but never got nominated for an Oscar. Just shameful! And now Boseman, who, I don't think, ever worked on Broadway is going to win an Oscar for basically filming a Broadway play. All kinds of contradictions, hypocrisy and irony in that one! Don't get me wrong. Boseman is undeniably good in Ma's Bottom. But, I have to admit, that I rarely like filmed plays unless they are made cinematically, and free of the staged construct, which most directors are unable to do. For the most part, they are just recordings of a filmed play with lots of editing and a limited set. That's fine I guess, but unless they are as good as The Father or David Byrne's American Utopia, they tend to be quickly forgettable for me.
At any rate, I'm probably overly obsessed this year, and admittedly very excited for tomorrow's results. How about you all?
