    Brian, as a brazilian, thank you for remembering the magnificent performance of Fernanda Montenegro in “Central Station”. This is the all-time best performance in brazilian cinema.
    Fernanda was also our greatest stage actress in decades, but is now retired over 90 years old.
    It was a very hard competition for a foreign actress at the Oscar by that time, and still is. In Berlin Film Festival, “Central Station” won the Golden Bear and she was awarded best actress.

    She took that complinsult really well (she actually seemed to be shocked that anyone had seen "Ex-Machina") And was a very lovely young lady towards everyone throughout the entire night.

    I thought Jamie Lee Curtis was good in Everything Everywhere All At Once, she was both funny and had a few emotional scenes in the third act. But I don’t think it was enough to win an Oscar and she wasn’t even like the standout performance of the movie. I thought Stephanie Hsu was easily the superior Supporting Actress performance of the film. Kerry Condon should’ve won Best Supporting Actress last year as she was my pick to win. It’s still disappointing that Banshees won nothing at the Oscars. No acting wins, screenplay and sadly lost steam after BAFTAs gave it to All Quiet on the Western Front.

      I think JLC deserved to win 🤷🏻‍♀️ She gave emotional depth to what otherwise could have been an extremely one-note character. It was out of her typical wheelhouse of self-aware characters. And how her relationship with Evelyn evolves from adversarial to a place of real human connection is instrumental in the growth we see in Michelle Yeoh’s character, which is fundamentally what a supporting performance does. Support the main performance. Stephanie Hsu equally deserved it. I thought Kerry condon was fine.

    This is an awesome video! I wasn't aware or couldn't remember some of these races. I absolutely agree with many of your choices, especially #1.
    Colin Firth is so magnetic and credible in A Single Man. You really feel for him and only want a happy ending for such a tragic character.
    Jake Gyllenhaal's win for Brokeback Mountain was a breath of fresh air that season. Heath Ledger got stomped all season long, and Michelle Williams only won Critic's Choice so yes, any win for the Brokeback actors was welcomed.
    Please do the same, but for the Best Picture category. Usually, Oscars and BAFTA diverge a lot when it comes to Best Movie of the Year (Roma v. Green Book, The Power of the Dog v. Coda, Everything Everything All at Once v. All Quiet on the Western Front, etc.) That would be a fun one too!

    I honestly don't get the hate Paltrow gets. Sure, she's not the greatest of actresses, but she's not the worst either. She's a nepobaby, sure, but so are Jane Fonda or Laura Dern, who are beloved and respected. Some shenanigans went down for her to win? Maybe. But the Academy proved time and time again that it doesn't need HW to make strange choices. Does anyone remember Judy Holiday? Cliff Robertson? Rami Malek? Worse of all, Rex Harrison? And that's from the top of my head. From what I noticed, the Academy goes mostly for the following: 1. the "showy" performance, either incarnating a real person , someone with a disability or mental health issue of some sort, or bereaved with grief. 2."honorary" award-someone who is beloved and long overdue; în this category usually the actor almost always has to fit also the 1. criteria. 3.going against type. Is she a glamorous, beautiful actress, known for comedy roles? If she makes a serious movie being ugly, it's almost guaranteed a win especially if she also respects the no.1 criteria. 4. Voting like sheep. I'm pretty convinced a lot of voters don't watch all the nominated movies and just vote for the most buzz or personal like/dislike of the nominated actor.
    That being said, I love both Bridges and Firth but A Single Man stayed with me since i saw it and you don't need to be lgBtq+ to understand human heart, you just need to have one.

    Jeff Bridges should have won his first oscar for hell or high water, instead
    Collin firth in a single man was so good. He was so handsome in that film. So sexy.

    Alicia Vikander was really good in The Danish Girl and in 1999 best supporting actor was pretty competitive and in any one of them could had won.

    Thanks Brian for such an admirable and wonderful video... And what a great list!... I'm thrilled. You made fair and reasonable arguments about each and every case and I'm in total agreement with you about all those preferences. I just want to add last year's Cate Blanchett win at Bafta (over Michelle Yeoh) for an incredibly powerful and moving performance in Tar, a performance that will definitely remain in memories. That's one of best and most masterful performances of all time, not just in 21st century and not only among female performances. Anyhow, Bafta got it right, and gave her the award.
    I can't wait to see Emma Stone and Cillian Murphy win at this year's Oscar night, although unfortunately I'm not sure/optimist enough to predict that they both will win! But I think Bafta may do the right thing again, and give them both their rightful awards. Both performances are (in my humble opinion) THE best and most daring and deserving among their respectful rivals'.

    That final scene of Billy Elliott turns me into a blubbering baby every time. Hes the top dog and every bit as athletic and dedicated as a top boxer. Then Billy leaps into orbit and his father gasps for air at the Adonis little Billy has become and know his time in the mine was worth it because Billy took his chance. What a film and Jamie Bell is amazing in it.

    Kerry Condon got that Cate Blanchett energy when I look at her. Honestly last year I it’s the supporting actress category ANYONE ELSE WOULD HAVE MADE SENSE. Like yes Angela is one of my favorite actresses ever but if Stephanie would have won I would have got it but Jamie winning was all politics. Kerry carried that movie not gonna lie I loved the dark humor of it all and her performance was a heartfelt. She played that character with so much emotion and heart and passion she was the right choice for that character. The Academy has time to make up for it she just needs a role that is worthy of her talents not that “Night Swim” bullshit.

    Mine are Philippe Noiret and Salvatore Cascio ( respectively leading and supporting actor) from Cinema Paradiso: a very courageous and far-sighted choice for that era in which very few non-English speaking actors were rewarded.

  • @jacquesboyadjian9449

    Kate Winslet was okay in Steve Jobs, nowhere near her peak. Jennifer Jason Leigh should’ve actually won over her and Alicia. That performance has aged well, whereas no one talks about Kate Winslet or the movie Steve Jobs

    New subscriber here! How crazy when you named the year Jennifer Lawrence won best actress because I always thought about that! I never understood that she won, although in my case it was because I thought that Naomi Whats deserved it for The Impossible, but whenever I remember that she won I can't understand why?! Her performance was great, but nothing superior to the other nominees... great video :) I'll go see the others.

    Most straight actors playing homosexual roles don't convince me. I don't find them believable. Especially when we know they're super hetero in real life. Only two straight actors have managed to give me the feels at playing gay characters: Ewan McGregor in "Velvet Goldmine" & "I love you Philip Morris" and Eric McCormack in "Will & Grace". I'm sorry Ledger, Gyllenhaal, McConaughey, Leto, Penn and company. On the other hand, Jim Parsons in "Spoiler Alert" made me cry my eyes out. The same for straight actresseses playing lesbians, most are not convincing enough, like Hillary Swank or Charlize Theron. Sorry, I didn’t buy those performances. Couple of exceptions: Annette Benning and Julianne Moore played a lesbian couple very naturally and totally bought that performance. No Oscars for that movie though 😮

    I would argue that Kerry Condon and Angela Bassett split the vote that helped Curtis win. Sure, it was a legacy Oscar, and she benefit from EEAAO overperforming, but Bassett and Condon had solid chunks of ardent supporters for their work so I imagine it was a photo finish.

  • @jennifermcgee8621
    @jennifermcgee8621 Před 4 měsíci

    Fabulous video. I agree with you on almost all of these wins/losses. Brokeback Mountain was robbed at the Oscars considering it is one of the best movies of the 21st Century so far. Michelle, Heath and Jake should have all one. Philip Seymour Hoffman was great in Capote, but Heath Ledger’s performance was far superior. How sad that both men have left us.
    Banshees was my favorite film last year and it, along with the cast, deserved more love at the Oscars.
