Oppenheimer sweep inbound. Also seeing Zone of Interest and All of Us Strangers doing well was amazing to see. However, that Charles Melton snub was brutal to see.
I have a feeling we may see some shockers in Adapted Screenplay this year, given the BARBIE category switch at the Oscars. It is basically a game of musical chairs there for nominees.
Imagine if All of Us Strangers is this years ALL QUIET 1) 1 nomination at gg 2) 1 nomination at cc 3) very little pre-season critics awards. 4) “over-nominated” at BAFTA’s (when it’s just finally getting properly recognized) 5) people realize it’s much more probable than just a one-category-nomination. 6) it’s British 7) it might “upset” and win some bafta’s like adapted screenplay, editing, one of the supporting categories (most-likely Claire Foy), and maybe even best film. (Definitely best British film (probably)).
Happy about Teo Yoo and Past Lives noms obviously, The Boy and the Heron, All of Us Strangers, and Vivian Oparah and Rye Lane noms... Cole's description of Saltburn 😆 "It's designed to make you go 'Oooo! Ahh!'" lol. (I love the score, though).
@@kassiogomes8498 I didn't like Saltburn, either, and not every critic loved it. Concept has been done, before. (The Talented Mr. Ripley, etc.) Despite me personally not liking the film, I still loved the score, the cinematography, and the acting by Jacob Elordi and Rosamund Pike.
@@nicoleann0703 All concepts of all movies have been done before. Almost nothing is completely new. That's not a detriment. It's like saying a movie can't be good because it's a remake. Like??? And Saltburn isn't like Mr Ripley. First of all, they aren't even in the same genre. Saltburn is a comedy, Talented Mr Ripley is a drama. The characters are completely different. Ripley is smart, funny, and charming. He is likable. And more importantly, he is actually poor. He envies Dickie's money. Dickie's lifestyle is very fun for all people, he is always on vacation and partying with friends. What makes Oliver's obsession so interesting and different is that he's extremely basic, dull, and uninteresting. What he is looking for with the Cattons isn't exactly money. He wants old money, he wants the prestige, the fancy dinners, the butlers, the eccentricity of these aristocrats. Unlike Ripley, Oliver doesn't need the Cattons to be rich. He is an Oxford student, he can be rich on his own. But he can't be an aristocrat on his own. Mr Ripley is a thriller about a charming con man looking for money. Saltburn is satire about middle class and their obsession with the vanity of the super rich.
@@kassiogomes8498 I understand. Thank you for pointing out the differences between each film. It's true that nothing is truly original nowadays, but I still stumble upon an original movie every once in awhile. The film still wasn't my cup of tea, but to each their own.
My opinion with the BAFTAs is that it's not a way to figure out snubs or surprises, but as a way to clear up the rubble and make a path to the tent pole films. Think about it, All Quiet last year got 9 nominations, and the BAFTAs rewarded that film like crazy. In 2022 The Power of the Dog got 8, with several surprises in it's collection. Those surprises got The Power of the Dog it's 12 nominations. So with the BAFTAs, keep an eye out for Oppenheimer in makeup and costumes, and Barbie in supporting actress. Those categories might seem strange now, but the BAFTAs are showing us that those films might clean up there.
I don‘t understand that the Society of the Snow was rejected for the Oscar and BAFTA Best Sound category. The Society of the Snow gave amazingly detailed sound Society of the Snow is the same true story as Alive in 1993, starring Ethan Hawke. The sound design of this movie is amazing. It gives you detailed sounds such as stepping on the snow, the sound of an airplane crash, and an avalanche, and the CG is amazing
It was rejected for the Oscar ? :0 I just saw that movie and it broke my heart into a million little pieces. It at least got nominated at the globes but Anatomy Of a Fall won over it
All of us Strangers being snubbed for cinematography is surprising. But overall i feel at least 5/10 categories it was listed for are locks for the Final Cut. 1) Best British Film 2) Actor 3) Adapted Screenplay 4) Supporting actress (they nominated CF for First Man) 5) Best Film I only think one of the boys will get in for Supporting Actor. Paul Mescal probably has the Edge because he’s more popular, he’s been campaigned as the second lead in all of AoUS’ promotional videos + he won the BIFA. I don’t think it’ll get editing (it SHOULD) I forgot their rule on the director choices but I think it’ll be 6 nominees and 3 have to be male and 3 have to be female. That being said I don’t think Haigh will make director. Casting doesn’t seem likely.
I'm actually kind of shocked that Wonka didn't get director with 15 slots.... they obviously loved the movie. I didn't think Timothee would get in but director I thought would be a sure bet knowing it's a British heavy film by a director they already like. Also kind of surprised Saltburn did so well just to get snubbed in Best Picture.
I'm definitely locking Spider-Verse for Daniel Pemberton's score and visual effects, which I'm so damn happy for Daniel finally getting his deserved recognition. It's more great with the fact it's gonna be the third animated film in the rare category of being Oscar nom'd for visual effects makes it more exciting.
dk if this matters but they didnt put may december on british netflix - id like to think that the voters actually got screeners but they only seem to have voted it in the obvious categories (the big names)
Am I the only one that doesn’t care about Charles Melton getting snubbed? I wasn’t a fan of May December when I saw it and I thought his performance was fine. I’m more personally rooting for Robert Downey Jr to win for his performance in Oppenheimer but I never understand the love for Melton so I don’t personally don’t care about his snub anyways
I’m the opposite. I found the Robert Downey Jr. section of Oppenheimer to be the weakest part of the film and in large part because he played Strauss like a one-dimensional weasel and the case for or against nuclear weapons became less about morality vs geopolitics and more about GOOD exemplified by Oppenheimer and EVIL exemplified by Downey Jr. Black vs White / Good vs Evil are too one-dimensionally boring for a film as ambitious as Oppenheimer. It’s cheap and convenient. Downey Jr.’s performance lacks any complexity and really dragged the film down from a perfect film to a merely v good one. Thank gawd for Cillian Murphy and the other two sections of the film.
I thought Charles Melton was the soul of May December. Julianne Moore overacted somewhat and was really unlikable in the film which skewed our perception of the character and the story. Natalie Portman I found rather uninteresting. The most Earth-bound and heartbreaking character was Charles Melton’s, who really created an unexpectedly heartfelt character slowly falling apart at the seams, as opposed to what could have been a one-dimensional and caricatured interpretation. He is in my opinion the best of the lot this year. Unfortunately these awards are often slow to welcome newcomers and unknowns. The depth of Melton’s performance and the transformation of his character vs the Convenient Villain/Evil Weasel in Robert Downey Jr’s performance - pretty easy choice for me.
Dumb Money is middle of the road, sure, but it shows confidence or some innovation to make “a period movie” of autumn 2020-spring 2021in an ensemble, panoramic mode, and release it by September 2023.
Yeah, it’s in my top ten too, where that’s a list that doesn’t include any 2022 premieres, nor the 2023 awards season titles that haven’t released where I am yet.
Are u insane? Killers will never miss. Killers, Barbie, Poor Things and Oppenheimer are locks, you have ti figure out only the fifth place and it is very obviously between The Zone of Interest and All of us Strangers.
@manantial773 You'll be surprised I think Killers is going to miss a lot I know it's Scorcese & it's a prestige film but even so I don't see it gaining a ton of momentum outside nominations Unless Scorcese confirms he's retiring
They overcompensated the crazy longlists and noms from the past years. These were mostly boring. Society of the Snow is going to get at least a couple of techs at the Oscars. It’s such a crowdpleasing movie.
I know it's tricky bringing up race but I am glad brother bro did because this is insane. Ke won every damn award last year except BAFTAS. and now Charles Melton can't even get a nom? Be serious
@@seankoontz4235 Yeah and last year they nominated Viola Davis, Daniel Deadwyler, Micheal Ward, Dolly De Leon, Daryl McCormack... So many good diverse picks that the Oscars didn't do... I never get this discourse surrounding BAFTA, especially when the Oscars is much worse.
Public release don’t matter. All of Us Strangers, Zone of Interest and Poor Things and many more are not released yet in the UK either. This is not the People’s Choice Awards. BAFTA or any awards voter for that matter get screeners or have access to an online screening room.
I really like Oppenheimer but don't overdo it, because the Oscars are different, they will award the Oscar for best director to Martin Scorsese and best film to Killers of the Flower Moon
Shocked at no Charles Melton, Natalie Portman, Todd Haynes, Rachel McAdams, Penelope Cruz, or Vanessa Kirby. Happy for all the All of Us Strangers, Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest, & How to Have Sex love!
the whole stud thing didn't work for austin though? i think charles's biggest competition for that fifth slot is dominic sessa but i think charles will beat him. ideally both would be nominated lol
Austin Butler was playing Elvis in a BP nominee@@freja201I liked both performances you mention a lot and hoping one or the other makes it but I have such doubts.... imo Jamie Bell is much more overdue
@@seankoontz4235 She had The End We Start From. The movie made it to the lists but not Comer. And she was never gonna make it in with Bikeriders regardless.
So much for diversity and celebrating the underrated at the BAFTAs, this is the most average longlist I've seen yet from them - remember when Julia Ducournau got in for Best Director before? I was expecting a surprise like that, but nah
i think the lineup is good. Doesn't need to particularly stick out for more diverse picks if they were not particularly deserving. But still had cool picks like how to have sex and george mcckay
Dumb take to suggest that this is is ‘the most average long list’ you’ve seen. Lots of nominations here that the Oscars voters wont even have heard of, let alone vote for.
15:38 I am sad. As a trans woman, myself, not seeing Trace Lysette in Lead Actress, just breaks my heart, as she got absolutely fantastic reviews in the UK.
It's been more than a year and you're still trying to predict her for a movie that came out in 2022. If she was going to be nominated, it would have been last awards season.
So I heard Zone of Interest was ineligible for Original Score but wasn't given an explanation why? So IDK if it's true or not. Melton snub sucks but I assume these voters didn't see May December since it's not out on UK Netflix yet, which is also weird af
After seeing all that I think the 5th film in best film will be All of us strangers. British rep. All Of Us Strangers Barbie Killers Of The Flower Moon Oppenheimer Poor Things
If I'm being honest, I'm kinda glad Godzilla Minus One didn't get VFX. Am I the only one who felt the effects were super hit or miss. Some scenes it looked great, others it looked like a video game.
Hahaha fat chance, a nomination is already the win if ever he is nominated. This is a veterans category or lifetime achievement award like in the Oscars
worth noting that may december wasn't distributed by netflix here, but by sky cinema: and a LOT of people here could not care less about sky as a provider both of media and of broadband, even if bafta members have been given screeners they might not have watched them because of the weird standing they have in culture.
