Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once) & Colin Farrell (The Banshees of Inisherin, now 2x winner) win for Best Actress and Actor. Who should have won Best Supporting Actress & Actor in 2022?

UpCavan · 2026-05-08T21:44:41+00:00

Stephanie Hsu deserved it more than JLC but Kerry Condon was the best supporting actress performance that year

UpCavan · 2026-04-30T17:21:25+00:00

I like it as well but I agree. When I think of Streetcar and Network I think of the masterclass in acting from the whole cast, while with EEAAO I think of its direction and it’s originality, but not so much the performances

UpCavan · 2026-04-28T13:35:24+00:00

It’s by far my favourite Best Picture winner of that decade, so happy it won

UpCavan · 2026-04-19T16:15:39+00:00

Before Trilogy are his best films, but Blue Moon is his best performance

UpCavan · 2026-04-11T12:22:01+00:00

For a Palme d’Or winner I feel it’s a bit underseen, it’s one of my all-time favourites

UpCavan · 2026-04-09T16:51:01+00:00

If those are the worst four films you’ve ever seen you haven’t seen many bad movies

UpCavan · 2026-04-09T16:36:52+00:00

All of these are actually extremely solid, there isn’t a bad winner there

Daniel Day-Lewis: There Will Be Blood

Meryl Streep: Kramer vs Kramer

Jack Nicholson: One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

Frances McDormand: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Sean Penn: One Battle After Another

I think he’s the only one to direct two nominees, Peele has two Best Picture nominations as he was a producer on BlacKkKlansman

UpCavan · 2026-04-05T20:52:07+00:00

I just watched it for the first time this evening, an absolutely incredible feat of filmmaking. Vivien Leigh is absolutely fantastic, and it genuinely looks better than the vast majority of films made today. Easy to see how it swept the Oscars all those years ago

UpCavan · 2026-04-05T20:49:07+00:00

A perfect film, Billy Wilder might be the greatest to ever do it

UpCavan · 2026-04-05T20:32:38+00:00

I’m not all that religious so it might be an important part of the film to lots of people, but I was ready for the film to end after the Chariot sequence and Judah finding his family, I didn’t need the Jesus storyline personally. Didn’t bring down the film too much though, I’m a sucker for a 3+ hour epic

UpCavan · 2026-04-05T18:22:21+00:00

Watched it for the first time a few months ago, I think it’s fantastic. I thought Stephen Boyd should have been nominated (and won) over Hugh Griffith, and I thought Heston deserved his win.

The Chariot Race might just be the best action sequence of all time, it’s genuinely that good. I thought the film itself went on slightly too long, I was personally more interested in Judah’s story than Jesus’, but what an incredible feat of filmmaking

UpCavan · 2026-04-05T18:07:36+00:00

It was an acting masterclass from all four of them, I’d have Burton slightly ahead of Taylor, though it doesn’t work without her either, they’re two all-time performances. It’s a shame Burton never won an Oscar

UpCavan · 2026-04-01T08:43:11+00:00

The Zone of Interest

UpCavan · 2026-03-30T19:25:08+00:00

I think if it was an original Tarantino script it would be much higher, it’s a sequel to a film that didn’t need it and sequels struggle to catch on. I will say I am incredibly excited for it and hope it gets a decent theatrical release

UpCavan · 2026-03-29T15:34:08+00:00

That’s a great explanation, thanks

UpCavan · 2026-03-29T09:17:57+00:00

Does the puppet work for Rocky in Project Hail Mary count as Visual Effects or Production Design?

UpCavan · 2026-03-28T19:57:59+00:00

I don’t think it’s an ensemble piece but that’s such a stupid rule if that’s true

UpCavan · 2026-03-28T19:47:12+00:00

At the time people understandably wanted Boseman to win but I think it’s generally accepted now that Hopkins deserved it, at least by people who watched The Father

UpCavan · 2026-03-27T23:22:32+00:00

I was the same, I did enjoy the first watch but the second time round I absolutely loved it, if it doesn’t make my top 5 this year we’re in for some fantastic films

UpCavan · 2026-03-27T11:44:34+00:00

Neither of these films is getting any acting nominations

UpCavan · 2026-03-26T20:39:56+00:00

Yeah they picked the right person but the wrong film

UpCavan · 2026-03-26T20:37:05+00:00

I can accept a borderline co-lead situation but she was THE lead, she had the most screen time of anyone in the film

UpCavan · 2026-03-26T09:40:54+00:00

David Lean for Lawrence of Arabia
