I have a list of favorite titles that’s ongoing.

Love the best scene category. Right there with you on the Notes app scene.

My biggest regret is Madison over Moore, and not just because Hunter thinks we’ve doomed humanity. Madison is great but Moore’s intensity is just so so perfect for The Substance.

Yeah, Grande is for sure reasonable as supporting. Unlike Qualley she’s also on screen notably less than her costar. Honestly, Lead vs. Supporting is probably not a hill worth dying on in general, so I wouldn’t agonize any placement.

Hypothetically: If I were to treat all three as supporting, I would add Colman Domingo to Lead Actor nominees, bump Dafoe from Supporting nominees, and give the Supporting trophy to Culkin. Moving Qualley and Grande to Supporting bumps Fanning and Arjona, and the trophy probably goes to Qualley. To fill those two spots on lead, add in Julianne Nicholson in Janet Planet and… jeez, June Squibb in Thelma, probably. I have no idea if any of that was coherent.

Anyways, thanks for stopping by and commenting, I always enjoy your reviews on LB!

The plot really does revolve around Elphaba.

My theory has been that Amadeus managed to campaign and win with co-leads, so other films can too.

Lead vs. supporting is always a problem in same-gender two-handers. It’s why 1)it’s stupid to have separated categories, albeit understandably stupid (though, you know, in the early-early days of the Oscars I wouldn’t have been surprised if a mono-gender category would’ve been absolutely dominated by women) and 2)very stupid that the rules have never permitted sharing an award between two leading (or, as seen in Everything Everywhere, supporting) performances in a single movie.

That said, I take issue with resolving that with a pick for Best Actress that can only result in riots, earthquakes, and acid rain. But it’s gonna happen, I know it is. Sigh.

Here is indeed the Best Editing, bar none, right on.
