But it’s hard to imagine costume branch voters being able to resist a movie about a woman obsessed with haute couture Dior, particularly one designed by Beavan, an 11-time nominee and three-time winner. Its costumes are plentiful and terrific, spanning many, many universes. This category will be one test toward measuring the strength of “Everything Everywhere All at Once” across various voting branches. Possible surprise: “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” Shirley Kurata “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” Ruth E. But two-time winner Kaminski lurks, as does Friend, who took us through World War I trenches three years after Deakins did it in “1917.” The American Society of Cinematographers nominated Deakins, Walker, Miranda and Fraser, along with Darius Khondji for all that beautiful deep-focus photography (among many other things) on “Bardo.” It’s a great group. Possible surprise: “The Fabelmans,” Janusz Kaminski “All Quiet on the Western Front,” James Friend But I wonder if the early negative reviews, combined with the film’s still leisurely running time, might have scared away some voters from giving it a proper look. I’m sure it just flies! And given Iñárritu’s Oscar history - he has been nominated three times as a director, winning twice - it seems entirely plausible that “Bardo” could be nominated here. Iñárritu recut “Bardo,” removing around 20 minutes from the original 184-minute movie. Possible surprise: “Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths”Īfter being savaged at fall film festivals, Alejandro G. As much as De Armas deserves some reward for gutting her way through Andrew Dominik’s wretched Marilyn Monroe biopic, I think Williams will earn her fifth Oscar nomination for giving “The Fabelmans” its heart and soul.

This is a category packed with powerhouse performances, leaving many wondering if Williams’ SAG Awards snub will be repeated at the Oscars. Andrea Riseborough, I think this is the greatest female performance on screen I have ever seen in my life.” Unfortunately, not many other voters have seen it, making the grassroots campaign for Riseborough a bittersweet affair. Adams’ support followed a similar event moderated by Kate Winslet, who gushed: “You should be up for everything. The word “amazing” was used at least a dozen times - and not without justification. Possible surprise: Ana de Armas, “Blonde”įour hours before nominations voting closed on Tuesday, Amy Adams led a virtual conversation with Andrea Riseborough to support her searing turn as an addict in “To Leslie,” a movie that premiered in March at South by Southwest and grossed $27,000 in its brief theatrical run. Michelle Yeoh, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” Here’s hoping that voters prove me wrong and nominate “Aftersun,” “Women Talking” and “RRR” instead. I’d rather watch “Top Gun: Maverick” another dozen times than sit through these three films again. In this case, I’m with my producer friend. Keeping my expectations low, I’m going to go with the three movies that took the greatest pains to bludgeon audiences with their themes - “All Quiet on the Western Front” (war is hell!), “The Whale” (empathy is essential!) and “Triangle of Sadness” (vomiting is hilarious!). It’s a (pretty) sure bet to be nominated, right alongside the other locks: “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “The Banshees of Inisherin,” “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Elvis,” “Tár” and “The Fabelmans.”Īfter that, you could make a case for any of 10 contenders to fill the remaining three spots.

Some people are a little freaked out that “Avatar: The Way of Water” missed the cut with the Directors Guild, but that probably had more to do with its late-breaking arrival than any resistance to space whales or petty jealousies relating to filmmaker James Cameron amassing another mountain of money.
