Nyad was a super basic film with great performances, but I think there are just better options than Annette Bening and Jodie Foster. Bening was great, but Sandra Huller, Greta Lee, Teyana Taylor, Cailee Spaeny, Margaret Qualley in Sanctuary, and Fantasia Barino were all superior performances in my opinion. Jodie Foster was a bit better than Annette Bening, but RACHEL MCADAMS should have at least something for Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. I also would've loved to see Viola Davis get nominated for Air. I thought the Poor Things supporting actor duo was phenomenal, but, they would be my personal 6 and 7 picks. I would keep the "RRR" and have Glenn Howerton in BlackBerry and Charles Melton in May December. I honestly want Zac Efron to get nominated for The Iron Claw, but i doubt that'll happen.
Melton, Lee and Huller missing were expected as theyre not big names and the only thing keeping Melton alive is word of mouth and the fact that his costars are big name actresses and even Michelle Williams missed last year and she's a previous nominee from a Spielberg movie.
Here are my initial thoughts on the nominations. Charles Melton missing in Best Supporting Actor was not a surprise to me because I had feeling that it was a good chance of that happening. Sterling K Brown being in the Best Supporting Actor category at SAG was a delightful surprise. As far as Leo not being nominated for Best Actor, I have mixed feelings about this. The reason why I had mixed feelings about this was due to the fact that I did not rule out the possibility of them deciding to go with either Colman Domingo or Barry Keoghan over Leo. Was it a bad call, yes. Was I surprised about this decision, not really. The biggest shocker besides Sterling K Brown getting in for Best Supporting Actor was Poor Things not being nominated for SAG Ensemble. I wasn’t too shocked to see Holdovers to miss SAG Ensemble
They nominate friends, instead of the best performances. It seems like they don't even bother to watch the movies, Anette but not Greta or Sandra??? WHERE ARE U Charles Melton/ Dominic Sessa/Mark Ruffalo???
Emily Blunt - easy Oscar nom, won't win Danielle Brooks - easy Oscar nom, won't win Penelope Cruz - potential dark horse Oscar nom, Julianne Moore will most likely take her spot, won't win Jodie Foster - potential filler Oscar nom, won't win Da'Vine Joy Randolph - clear winner Sterling K. Brown - potential dark horse Oscar nom, Charles Melton or Mark Ruffalo will most likely his spot, won't win Willem Dafoe - potential filler Oscar nom, won't win... again Robert De Niro - easy Oscar nom, won't win Robert Downey Jr. - clear winner (for now) Ryan Gosling - potential surprise winner Annette Bening - potential dark horse Oscar nom, Sandra Hüller or Greta Lee will hopefully take her spot, won't win Lily Gladstone - neck-and-neck with Emma Stone for the win Carey Mulligan - easy Oscar nom, won't win... again Margot Robbie - potential filler Oscar nom, won't win Emma Stone - neck-and-neck with Lily Gladstone for the win Bradley Cooper - easy Oscar nom, won't win Colman Domingo - potential dark horse Oscar nom, Leonardo DiCaprio will most likely take his spot, won't win Paul Giamatti - easy Oscar nom, won't win Cillian Murphy - clear winner Jeffrey Wright - potential filler Oscar nom, won't win
I really think best cast ensemble could be for either Barbie or Oppenheimer in my choice. I hope you continue to feel better and congrats on the subscriber milestone 👍
These SAG nominations just cemented, to me, the Critics' Choice Awards as one of the most expected award shows to watch. Sometimes, even more than the Oscars.
For me May December was so-so. Really liked Melton's nuanced performance, but both female roles are so distasteful it's hard to appreciate the acting chops. Also it is NOT a comedy, never chuckled even once, so ads pitching it that way is a mistake. Overall it felt like a made for TV movie.
NYAD is a 2023 American sports drama film about swimmer Diana Nyad's 2013 attempt to swim the Straights of Florida. It is directed by Elizabeth Chai Vasarheylii an Jimmy Chin (in their feature film directorial debut) and written by Julia Cox, based on Nyad's autobiography Find a Way. It stars Annette Bening as Nyad, with Jodie Foster and Rhys Ifans in supporting roles.
@@marleyvillasenor4732 it’s 100% the Native thing. She’s talented but her best performance is ahead of her. This was fine, but she wasn’t given a lot to do outside of laying in a bed.
I can’t be the only one who thought Charles Melton was just…ok I’d rather vote for someone with limited screen time but a large impact like Archie Madekwe in Saltburn or maybe Tom Conti as Einstein.
May December is a movie depicting a fictionalized of a dead rapist and her underage rape victim. Rape should never have been romanticized, let alone be recognized by some award.
