1. As a SE Asian critic clearly I’m glad when it comes to illustration, regardless that I’ve to confess I’m not as enamored with Every little thing In all places All At As soon as as others do (learn my full evaluation). For certain Michelle Yeoh is completely deserving of a nod, I imply she should have been nominated already in 2001 for Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon!
2. Thrilled to see Ke Huy Quan received within the Finest Supporting Actor race!! Wow what a experience for everybody concerned in EEAAO as virtually they’re nominated in each class!

Talking of historic firsts, 16 of the 20 appearing nominees are first-timers! Now, that Supporting Actress class would’ve been much more excellent if Lashana Lynch is swapped with Jamie Lee, I’m simply unhappy The Lady King received so grossly shut out 😦
4. What a yr of nice animated options! Earlier this yr I used to be enamored by Turning Crimson, Marcel the Shell With Footwear On, and The Sea Beast. I had lately seen Puss in Boots: The Final Want which is my least favourite of all of the noms nevertheless it’s nonetheless a enjoyable film. However the one I completely adore is Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio!! It’s the one I’ll be rooting for, it’s already a contemporary traditional!
The picket boy with the borrowed soul. 🦋 Congratulations to the filmmakers and crew behind @RealGDT’s #PinocchioMovie on their Academy Award nomination for Finest Animated Characteristic! #Oscars2023 pic.twitter.com/MWyyuouv8G

5. One in all my favourite discoveries of this yr is Vietnamese-American Hong Chau. I haven’t seen The Whale but however she can be phenomenal in The Menu and I’d be glad to see her nominated for that efficiency as effectively.
6. Now, right now’s nomination is certainly NOT his first, it’s his 53rd!! So glad for John Williams!! 90 years previous and nonetheless at his finest. I’m thrilled to have had the privilege of seeing him on stage final yr on the Hollywood Bowl.

7. Performances in superhero movies not often get recognition by the Academy, effectively till now that’s! Thrilled to see the ever-so-regal Angela Bassett as the primary ever actor to earn an appearing nomination in an MCU film. As I discussed in my evaluation of Wakanda Eternally, her flip as Queen Ramonda is certainly Oscar-worthy!!
8. So 2023 is outwardly the yr of the rabbit in response to the Chinese language zodiac nevertheless it’s positively the yr of the Irish on the Oscars! Not solely did The Banshees Of Inisherin get a slew of nominations, however there are additionally fairly a couple of Irish skills nominated as effectively, The Quiet Lady will get a nod in Finest Worldwide Characteristic Movie, and 5 Irish performers are nominated: Colin Farrell + Paul Mescal in main roles, and Brendan Gleeson + Kerry Condon + Barry Keoghan in supporting roles.
If there’s a class for Finest Animal in A Film, they could’ve nominated Jenny the Goat from Banshees as effectively I reckon.
9. So the Brendanissance is actual!! I haven’t seen The Whale but however I’m at all times thrilled to see an business veteran lastly will get his dues!! Brendan Fraser is now a Finest Actor nominee and I’m thrilled about his comeback! He’s been throughout doing press for the movie and he at all times comes throughout as so grateful and gracious about the entire thing. In an business the place fakery is the norm, there’s one thing so real and actual about Brendan and I can’t assist however root for him!
10. Final however not least… the amazingly proficient and ever-so-versatile Brian Tyree Henry is now an Oscar nominee!!! He completely killed it in Causeway and Bullet Prepare, two extraordinarily completely different performances however he’s so convincing it doesn’t matter what function he performs!
Simply got here throughout this video and I simply… 🥹

Oh man, I’d LOVE to see these two in a movie collectively!! Please Hollywood, make it occur!!
Greatest Shock of all
Properly nothing beats Andrea Riseborough being nominated within the Finest Lead Actress class, proper? It’s the largest shocker that’ll possible be talked about for years to return. I truly simply learn concerning the grassroots marketing campaign for her efficiency within the indie movie To Leslie by Hollywood A-listers final week. The likes of Charlize Theron, Gwyneth Paltrow, Courteney Cox, Edward Norton, Jennifer Aniston, and Minnie Driver had been holding personal screenings of her movie and showering her with effusive reward throughout social media. Heck, even Andrea’s fellow nominee Cate Blanchett talked about her in her Critics Selection Finest Actress acceptance speech!
Now, I haven’t seen To Leslie (I don’t know the way many individuals have!) however I’ve been a longtime admirer of the chameleonic British actress ever since I noticed her even earlier than she was in Hollywood films: Shadow Dancer, Brighton Rock, and later she shone in bigger-budget movies like Oblivion, Birdman, The Demise of Stalin, and so forth. She additionally gave a chilling efficiency in a Black Mirror episode referred to as Crocodile.
I do know lots of people are mad that her nomination may’ve led to actresses of colour like Viola Davis or Danielle Deadwyler however y’know what, I disagree. If there’s one actress who shouldn’t have been shortlisted right here, it’d be Michelle Williams.
IMHO the one who #robbed #ViolaDavis of the Finest Main Actress slot isn’t Andrea Riseborough however Michelle Williams. Her efficiency in #TheFabelmans is simply okay 🤷🏻♀️ #OscarNoms #Oscars2023 https://t.co/mrquZQ7GS5

The egregious snubs …
It wouldn’t be Oscars week with out studying the phrase ‘snub’ throughout social media and movie websites. There are actually some stunning ones right now, beginning with…
1. Feminine administrators shut out once more! Actually, Academy?!
After two feminine administrators had been honored again to again in 2021 and 2022, I suppose misogyny isn’t lifeless but. Exhausting behavior to interrupt I suppose.
Greatest snub of all: #femaledirectors Natalie Portman’s cape should make one other look at #Oscars2023 One other Diop, as in #AliceDiop is snubbed once more for #SaintOmer + @GPBmadeit & #SarahPolley are shut out 😖 https://t.co/ORLXxZGGKc pic.twitter.com/paeuv984kg

2. Boy I didn’t get up early to see among the finest performances of the yr received robbed!!!
Wait what??! The venerable Viola Davis in #TheWomanKing ought to’ve been a shoo in! #Oscars2023 #robbed pic.twitter.com/G08usDiZb5
— FlixChatter ♥️🎞️ (@FlixChatter) January 24, 2023
In actual fact, the general shutout of The Lady King is devastating!! Gina Prince-Bythewood deserved a Finest Director nod, Lashana Lynch and Thuso Mbedu had been each worthy to be nominated, however worst of all, no Finest Image nod?? 🤷🏽♀️
3. One in all my prime 10 movies of the yr was grossly neglected! 😦 I haven’t had the prospect to evaluation it however Determination To Go away is on my Prime 10 Movies of 2022, whereas EEAAO, Banshees, The Fabelmans, and Elvis are on my Honorable Mentions.
Whoa… #DecisionToLeave is snubbed massive time!! 😧 https://t.co/QovttUUjDw
— FlixChatter ♥️🎞️ (@FlixChatter) January 24, 2023
4. I LOVE Paul Dano’s efficiency in The Fabelmans… can’t imagine they nominated the lesser efficiency!! Anyhoo, I met him as soon as throughout a screening of Ruby Sparks and he’s such a beautiful man!
Paul Dano provides the most effective efficiency within the Fabelmans and will get snubbed, and Michelle Williams provides the worst and will get nominated.

5. One in all my favourite songs this yr is for sure Pinocchio’s Ciao Papa – it’s such a phenomenal and touching music that I used to be satisfied would get within the Finest Track class! Alas…
In the meantime, right now is the primary time I even heard of a film referred to as Inform It Like a Lady however wow, Diane Warren is nominated once more for the 14th time!
6. The administrators of two of the largest films of 2022, Joseph Kosinski for Prime Gun: Maverick and James Cameron for Avatar: The Means of Water are each shut out for Finest Director. I completely did NOT count on to see Ruben Östlund‘s title in any respect for Triangle of Disappointment regardless of not being nominated by another main awards in that class.
7. The Batman NOT up for Finest Cinematography (Greg Fraser) or Finest Authentic Rating (Michael Giacchino)? Whatefs… I imply, simply LOOK on the lighting on this scene alone! And the rating is definitely excellent for the tone and look of the movie.
