Best Actor Predictions Revisited - For Your Consideration

[@branagain]

“Jesse Eisenburg played Jesse Eisenburg in a Jesse Eisenburg movie.” I love Jeff’s comment.

[@ktom5262]

And Kieran Culkin played Kieran Culkin.

[@slc2466]

Jeff also had a sage remark concerning restrained performances in regards to an Oscar win- I got burned last year sticking with Lily in prediction contests over the out-there Emma. Looks like "biggest" still slays the voters.

[@katevand]

He played himself in The Social Network, too.

[@lostinthereel]

Perri sticking up for herself and Mantz during that super chat was the moment of strength I needed today ❤

[@lucasberchuck9564]

Jeff is absolutely right. It's clearly Chalamet v Brody if you're reading the tea leaves.

[@lucasberchuck9564]

And also it's Stan v Craig for the last spot, Eisenberg couldn't crack critics choice top 6.

[@heatherbukowski2102]

yeah, no matter what critics think of the movie, they are all unanimous in chalamet being amazing in it.

[@Gavin48]

Nah it's Ralph vs Brody with Brody winning. Timothee isn't winning this early in his career. Plus at least wait until the movies come out. Remember when everyone thought Phoenix might win an Oscar again for playing Arthur Fleck 😂😂😂. Wait and see people

[@heatherbukowski2102]

@@Gavin48 brody won that early in his career lol (29)

[@Gavin48]

@heatherbukowski2102 Brody was playing a Holocaust survivor back in the early 2000s. He pretty much used a cheat code. Plus, Brody isn't a heartthrob like Timothee. Timothee is like Leo DiCaprio. The Academy are going to make him wait.

[@OdditiesofTyler]

I enjoy the chaos of Hugh Grant entering the potential prospects, what fun! Also--congratulations Perri!

[@joerossi6595]

I think Conclave and The Substance will be very happy on nomination morning.

[@mothmanmedia8511]

Hugh Grant entering this race for Heretic would be so great. If we get the Substance and Heretic nods this year it would forever have to change how we view horror in next years race for sure.

[@roguefrogger5823]

Dude you're forgetting Nosferatu, it's going to get a ton of technical nominations

[@BluePrada]

What the hell would warrant an Oscar for Heretic???

[@roguefrogger5823]

@BluePrada have you seen Heretic? Hugh Grant's performance is definitely worthy of an Oscar nomination. He killed that role and it was something he's never done before. He came out of his comfort zone and used his past roles to create his character. He comes across as such a genuinely good guy right up until he isn't. Watch it and see for yourself.

[@ethandlima1604]

I think the five are pretty set, Brody-Fiennes-Domingo-Chalamet-Craig

[@tristanfrench7198]

David LaMann's comment is ridiculous considering A Complete Unknown is certainly not a lock rn. It could get a picture nomination for sure, but there's about 11-12 movies that could realistically get best picture nominations, and a complete unknown is on the edge for sure - especially with the reviews not being that hot. So glad Perri stood up to him

[@teamrainbow7674]

Jeff’s stubbornness sometimes blinds him from making logical predictions, such as his scepticism towards Everything Everywhere and I also think he is off regarding The Substance this season. However he clearly has a better feel on the pulse of award season in general, the momentum could always change but right now the race is definitely between Chalamet and Brody

[@memorieswithouthomes1438]

Jeff has a point with Eisenberg playing himself. Not to diminish his work but it’s so close to his wheelhouse that I can’t support a nomination. Grant has been attending events and doing interviews at the same rate as Rami Malek was for Bohemian Rhapsody. And we cannot rule it out. He’s a legitimate number 6-7 at this point.

[@cold_hot_man3861]

Rural Michigan still hasn't got releases for September 5, Sing Sing and the Brutualist but I do plan on seeing them when they release. The Substance and Conclave were great movies. Keep up the great work guys

[@sebastiano728]

I will preface this by saying that I love Jeff, I think he's the wild card that makes the show extra entertaining; without him there'd be too much agreement and we'd miss out on fun bets and arguments. Having said that, I feel like his arrogance regarding how the old school Academy would vote provides him with both his best and worst takes. He was convinced that Parasite wouldn't have a chance. He had a similar snide attitude towards EEAAO. If those movies can *win* Best Picture, surely it's not too far out of the realm of possibility that The Substance could get nominated. Especially with how well it's been performing in the precursors. Kind of like Get Out, the film was something of a global phenomenon (coming from someone who merely liked it but didn't love it). I think it's not only getting a nomination, Fargeat is a near-lock for Best Director. With regard to Best Actor, though, he's totally right; Fiennes will at best win BAFTA but nothing else. He is this year's Colin Farrell for Banshees. Excellent career, excellent performance, but is understated and will ultimately be overshadowed by Timmy and Brody love. Hence why I say that Jeff's arrogance gives him some of his best and worst takes. While Perri and Mantz are too optimistic and shower too much praise on pretty average movies, Jeff is more blunt and realistic, but occasionally gets stuck in the past and is unwilling to bend his preconceived notions of what isn't an "Oscar movie". Overall though, great show!

[@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719]

Well stated 👏

[@ace-byronjohnferdbulan8687]

This!!!

[@V0LTUnDeAd]

this is absolutely spot on

[@aaronconnole8325]

While I agree with your overall point, I think The Substance isn’t the phenomenon people think it is. I think its a film that based on premise should’ve been a Shudder hit, but has gone on to appeal to the wider film loving community. But when we’re talking overall audience, we’re talking Box Office (I will be using domestic numbers only). Parasite grossed $25 million in only limited release prior to going wide following its BP nom. EEAAO made $70 million in its initial release. Get Out made $175 million. And though you didnt mention it, as Silence of the Lambs is the pinnacle of horror at the Oscars, it grossed $117 million just in its initial run before dropping out of wide release. The Substance has made $16 million domestic, and $56 million worldwide. Its not as wide reaching as any example listed. Maybe this is all on MUBI’s ability to distribute as well as others. I think it is still very much up in the air if it sneaks in.

[@sebastiano728]

@@aaronconnole8325 Fair enough on The Substance's box office numbers, good argument! I think beyond commercial success, though, the film won an award at Cannes and has exceeded expectations in the Golden Globe and Critics Choice nominations. Get Out only managed two nominations at the GG's, The Substance has five. Most importantly, Fargeat has been nominated everywhere for directing, and seems to be the most likely female nominee at the Academy Awards. If Fargeat is by all accounts more likely to get nominated than James Mangold for A Complete Unknown, Tim Fehlbaum for September 5, Eisenberg for A Real Pain, or Greg Kwedar for Sing Sing, my instinct is that The Substance is ahead in the pecking order compared to these other contenders. Sure, she could pull a Thomas Vinterberg for Another Round, but AR was never really in Best Picture nomination consideration, whereas The Substance definitely is.

[@stephaniemoore9122]

As always I’m with Jeff on his nominations & his order! Brody & Chalamet

[@ace-byronjohnferdbulan8687]

Almost there but I believe craig will get the #5 spot

[@jamielee7943]

I agree with Jeff. Everything he said about ADRIEN BRODY is true. He should & hopefully will win!! He’s giving a masterclass performance in The Brutalist. Just astonishing really. It doesn’t matter he’s won before. Many actors have more than 1 Oscar. So he’s my pick to win! 🥇 I would say Timothée Chalamet is in 2nd place. He’s playing an iconic figure. The Academy loves a biopic. He is very popular right now. Consistently doing great work. The reviews are praising him. And in third place I would put Ralph Fiennes. Brilliant actor giving a great performance in a well regarded film. He’s never won before. He has a solid career behind him. He will definitely be nominated!

[@beabravo6759]

I just want to say you 3 are the best! I enjoy each & every one of you! This category is pretty much locked. Brody, Chalamet, Craig, Domingo & Fiennes. That's it. Only Stan has a shot to break into that five. Grant, Eisenberg, and maybe Kupferer are the far longer shots that could happen.

Heretic cost 10 million and has done (so far) 43 million worldwide. I wouldn't call that underperform. Besides, it has a 71/100 on Metacritic, so Jeff may find it mediocre, but that is not the general consensus. By the way, Jeff, you should respect other people's taste. There's NOTHING wrong with Scott saying A Real Pain is a perfect movie. It's his own subjective opinion. Stop diminishing people's opinion just because you think differently. It comes off as condescending. Just my two cents. Love the show ❤

[@reidforman]

Going into the season I thought Hugh Grant had a zero percent chance, but not anymore. Currently he has 2 precursors and SAG has nominated him before + it’s a very showy role with a lot of monologues. I can see him getting in at the Bafta’s as well given that he’s British. In terms of the Oscar’s, he’s never been nominated before and has that “overdue” narrative. Very interesting.

[@filmlibrarian]

Grant won the BAFTA and the Golden Globe for Four Weddings and a Funeral, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he won those awards again for Heretic.

[@reidforman]

I could also actually see Grant winning the golden globe comedy this year given the lack of a frontrunner in that category

[@filmlibrarian]

Hugh Grant is also a double nominee at the Critics Choice Awards; in addition to the nomination for Heretic, he’s nominated for best supporting actor in a limited series or movie made for television for The Regime.

[@aaronjenkins5179]

I get the impression that Jeff gets under Perri’s skin. He makes abrasive comments and has strong opinions, but while Scott pushes back in a playful way and keeps things on track, Perri seems to just get visibly annoyed and offended by him. Not saying she’s unjustified in her annoyance, but the energy is really uncomfortable at times because of this

[@ZachBobBob]

Just saw Conclave and I thought Ralph Fiennes was amazing in it, definitely deserves a nom imo

[@katevand]

Timmy C should get in for Dune 2 and ACU, personally, I like when the Academy sees to great performances in one year and rewards it.

[@filmnoirpic]

Adrien Brody has already won. James Mangold has delivered Oscar wins for Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon. He also got Ford vs Ferrari into Best Picture. Oscar loves its bio pics.

[@zachrincon327]

True, however it should be noted that the academy doesn't like giving Best Actor to younger actors so that's not good for Timothee. Also if it's close between Brody and Timothee put it all in on Brody. The stronger movie always wins and The Brutalist is far closer to Best Picture than A Complete Unknown is.

[@reidforman]

Also the Academy doesn’t really care if you’ve won before. In the past 5 years look at Renee Zelwegger, Frances McDormand, Anthony Hopkins, Emma Stone

[@lucasberchuck9564]

[@stevecatanio8532]

Thanks Perri!

I also liked the lighting in Wicked. I don’t think it needed saturated colors and high contrast. I think the more realistic lighting elevated it above the look of Oz the Great and Powerful which was more straight forward.

Also Colman is a lock David. When has NBR ever been an accurate predictor? Craig will likely take that 5th spot, but it's certainly not because he won NBR.

[@samiracle]

Before you praise a movie’s cinematography (Wicked) for the camera movement I think you have to consider the quality of the lighting and focus in those images. It’s a lot easier to incorporate gymnastic camera movement if you’ve totally abandoned lighting and focusing your images. It doesn’t matter how much the camera moves if the lighting and focus are so bad you can barely see anything, and it mutes the color (a significant element of the story) in the process. That is not masterful work that deserves recognition, that’s evidence the cinematographer needs to go back to school.

[@davinyu9996]

Ok guys the 5th slot is definitely between Craig for Queer and Eisenberg for A Real Pain.

[@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719]

🤔

[@chrisf5828]

Jeff's belief that The Substance will not be one of ten best picture nominations is not just wrong, it is bizarre. I understand his hunch but the problem with his theory is that it is getting grossly over-nominated in multiple places. Seriously over-performing anyone's expectations going into the season. Qualley having been nominated repeatedly is ridiculous (I like her a lot but the idea that is a top five performance in a year stacked with supporting actresses is weird) This is typical of movies a lot of people just really WANT to vote for. We have seen awards nominations for screenplay, two actresses, make-up, fx (weird), probably will get named for editing a few places... It is like critics picking Wicked for Jonathan Bailey or cinematography -- these are stretches and a reliable sign that people just want to vote for the movie. They enjoy voting for it. The Substance is a nomination lock.

[@purekinema]

There are seven movies that have performed very well and are all fighting for the last five spots: Dune 2, Nickel Boys, A Complete Unknown, The Substance, A Real Pain, September 5, and Sing Sing. There is a great argument to make for all of them, and there outside shots for some others, especially the international feature contenders. Consider the fact that the last best picture drama nominee at the Globes to miss Best Picture is If Beale Street Can Talk from 2018. You can argue that the Oscars is a voting body that is less likely to go for The Substance than the precursors so far.

[@itsybitsy999]

It isn't bizarre at all. This over-performance you speak of has been from non-industry organisations. I want The Substance to get in as much as anybody but I'm not predicting it in Picture right now because I don't think the Academy is cool enough to do it.

[@eyesoneverything9142]

Honestly, considering the second half of the movie got bizarre and there were so many plot holes in the film, I don't understand the Substance's hype and I don't see the Academy nomming it. I think it's over performing because these other award shows are just trying to predict the Oscars and I think they're a bit misguided.

[@jackobrien5110]

I think it could be fun if there was a category for best year all around because this year alone we have Sebastian Stan who jad the two phenomenal performances and Timmy chalamet who had dune and a complete unknown and having its own category that says hey maybe the one wasn’t the best this year but you had two performances in the conversation this year and that’s incredible

[@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719]

That's how the Oscars used to do it when it all started. It was about their body of work that season.

[@theboxingchannel1586]

Sometimes we have to separate a great film from a great performance because they are two different things. Sebastian stan is in a different league in the apprentice to Essienberg in a real pain. Mark Strong is quite phenomenal in that film too. I hate it’s becomes political because someone portrayed a person in Donald Trump. It should all be based on performance only. This is why I get frustrated often.

[@Usedtobebillie]

I think Jeff thinks more like Oscar voters and follows more the conversations, and Perri and Scott are more like movie fans with passion picks, like Mantz saying that Emilia Perez has a shot of winning BP. Brody will sweep the season and that has been the conversation since people saw the film.
