Top 10 Oscar Nominations of 2022

[@albinjohansson5975]

Blanchett's performance was utterly enthralling. It was otherwordly. And now we have her performance in The New Boy to look forward to.

[@oztenn]

She really had people (myself included for some of the movie) believe lydia tár was a real person😭 truly one of the best performances in recent years

[@marrmart7690]

Good performance..bad story..no story in the film

[@evilroy6568]

Agree 100% on Blanchette

[@perryjones7771]

Bassett and Blanchett were on another level

[@marrmart7690]

Blanchet Bad film..she walk and go home and drive car..whare the story..good acting with bad screenply dont work

[@800Ms-k6n]

Aftersun was one of my favourite movies of 2022, therefore Paul Mescal's very first Oscar nomination is my favourite. Incredible performance, glad that he was nominated. He was completely overlooked in other big award shows, so happy that The Academy gave him a chance

[@timgriffin3368]

So agreed. A slow burner and not showy performance is why. Sit through it and supremely rewarded by the end.

[@Brandon_4272]

masterpiece, should've gotten in for Best Picture, Editing, and Original Screenplay

[@kiwiian8051]

Thank you, I agree Cate Blanchett was absolutely phenomenal in Tar. For me this was the best performance by any actor in 2022. It will stand the test of time.

[@mr.introvert6173]

Yes, performance wise better than yeoh.

[@teamrainbow7674]

I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited about a nomination than Stephanie Hsu getting in for Everything Everywhere All At Once. It seemed like she was gonna miss out in the end, but I was backing that she’d get in right til Oscar nomination morning (mostly through wishful thinking). She brought to life a character that I think will be a defining one for this decade of cinema, with a performance that was easily one of the best of the year and my personal favourite

[@jaylouis8227]

Yes! I absolutely agree that Stephanie Hsu should've won best supporting actress! She was amazing in that movie. I'm not mad at Jamie Lee Curtis winning though because she's had a long, illustrious career in Hollywood and deserves some recognition. It just sucks that Stephanie Hsu had to be pushed aside in order for that to happen.

[@carljcreighton]

I really loved Jamie Lee Curtis in EEAAO and I'm so glad she won! There must be others of my kind. That was a really great character she helped create and the win for a comedic performance is great too. Also I do listen to the All Quiet score sometimes, it and the Dunkirk score are the two I switch between in terms of ambient scores. But! I absolutely agree about Colin Farrell!

[@breensprout]

i loved her in that movie! i thought she was great! i totally understand where people are coming from when they think stephanie hsu or angela bassett deserved the award more, not going to argue with that, but it's far from a bad performance.

[@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719]

I also listen to that All Quiet score every now and then. Very haunting! I think Babylon has the Best Music but All Quiet has the Best Score for a film, if that makes sense.

[@MarcioDAstrain]

I knew Stephanie Hsu would get an Oscar nomination for EEAAO but tbh I think Angela Bassett should've won the Oscar. Don't get me wrong I adore Jamie Lee Curtis, so happy she got an Oscar, and EEAAO is a far superior movie comparing with BP: Wakanda Forever, but Angela Bassett performance stayed with me for a very long time and I really thought that was her time. Now the Honorary Oscar that Angela is receiving feels a little bittersweet, but so happy that she's winning one.

[@christiansage15]

Bassett's performance is the only reason why that film is watchable.

[@marrmart7690]

Angella basset..she deserve oscar..becase she make supporting role same leading role

[@pophector]

Fun choices, Brian! I agree with Colin Farrell, he was my second favorite in the Best Actor category and I'm glad he finally got an Oscar nomination. Ditto with Stephanie Hsu, she was incredible and should have been the Supporting Actress win from Everything Everywhere All At Once. Close was also by personal favorite pick for International Feature Film, sticks with me far longer than All Quiet On The Western Front. Thanks for another great video.

[@ntent1]

Despite being an Asian-American teen who deeply related to EEAAO, I firmly believe that Cate Blanchett DESERVED the Oscar for Best Actress. Michelle Yeoh was long overdue for an Oscar and her performance was spectacular, but Blanchett’s performance was just out of this world.

[@Kevin-rg3yc]

To me both cate in tar and Michelle in EEAO are in caliber special groups of actresses who give performance that are beyond being great acting and more if this will change the idea of how we practice and view film acting similar to how I see it in Meryl Streep in Sophie’s choice, Vivian Leigh in both gone with the wind and a streetcar named desire, whoopi Goldberg in the color purple, charli Theron in monster etc. I wish there was a Katharine Hepburn/Barbra Streisand moment where they both win

[@ntent1]

@@Kevin-rg3yc Definitely agree with you on that! I’m a bit new to films / awards, and didn’t even know there was a double Oscar win! Would’ve loved to see that happen with Blanchett and Yeoh.

[@RodneyDollar]

Blah blah blah 🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@SoulKnightKing]

Brian literally just admitted, Blanchett had the better performance, but it was Yeoh's moment and she already had 2 Oscars. Aka let's not give The Oscar based on merit but woke politics. Blanchett gave a Sophie's Choice level performance and lost the Oscar again to a Hollywood IT girl. That makes me so mad.

[@ntent1]

@@RodneyDollar why the eyeroll lol

[@shaunfitzgerald4891]

I watched eeaao a few Months and I remember thinking that Stephanie Hsu should’ve won the best supporting actress

[@notanotherpopsong]

Great video as always, have you consider on making one with the best Oscar ceremonies? Taking in consideration winners, host and production values maybe?

[@Rainbowxpride89]

This video is reminding me of movies that I missed last year. Close & The Fabelmans are still on my watchlist.

[@henriqueaugustus1761]

[@AG-ey9ig]

I enjoyed Cate’s performance a lot, but Yeoh’s made me feel something and she made me cry. It was a competitive year for sure, but Yeoh’s win was so well deserved

[@markduncan9757]

I really enjoy your videos.

[@jackjohnson5427]

Colin Farrell is so underrated

[@isaacmartinez6904]

All Quiet On The Western Front was one of the best nominations last year. I was surprised it won more than one Oscar. Best International was an easy win, but Best Original Song, Best Cinematography and Best Production Design that’s crazy (in a good way). Sad it didn’t win Best Adapted Screenplay, but 4 Oscars is better.

[@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719]

I loved All Quiet on the Western Front. I think it deserved all of its nominations and wins, especially Best Original Score.

[@Jcmc9317]

Steohanie Hsu would have been one of the greatest winners of Supporting Actress, joining Quan and Yeoh as among the best in their categories.

[@johnnolan5579]

I just don't get your love for The Fabelmans. I love most Spielberg films and have been a huge defender of his for many years, but this movie just struck me as being a more upscale tv movie. I don't get the appeal at all, and I honestly think it's one of his weakest films. I do agree with you that Stephanie Hsu gave the best supporting actress performance of the five nominees. And when it comes to Bryan Tyree Henry, one day he will win an Oscar.

[@joelanthonylim6792]

IMO among the ones nominated for Cinematography, Tar should've won over All Quiet. That whole category was questionable this year, like not even nominating Batman and Top Gun makes no sense, even the Deakins movie doesn't make sense to be put in.

[@alpe1987]

This list is very interesting. Can’t wait for the hated nominations video

[@rfrolicarts]

I loved the costume design in Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris. The whole film hinges on you believing that a dress is so enchanting it would capture a simple woman's imagination and change the whole trajectory of her life. It worked.

[@navidhudson7065]

One of my favorite nominations was Hong Chau for The Whale. The first time I watched the teaser trailer and there was that closeup of her face in tears, I immediately wanted her to come along for the ride alongside Brendan and I'm so glad she was nominated in what was a fairly competitive slot for best supporting actress. She was easily the most grounded character in the movie and I hope she'll be a winner in the future. As for Cate Blanchett, it was of course a masterclass of an acting performance and Michelle Yeoh did deserve that win too. Cate can easily win a third Oscar very soon. Babylon deserved best score too, it continues to get popularity and attention and will remain so. Hurwitz is a mad genius and he can definitely top himself with his next score.

[@HoosierCubby73]

Hong Chau had a tremendous year in 2022. I would argue she was equally deserving for a Best Supporting Actress nomination for her role in "The Menu" as well.

[@TheBadtzmaroo]

If you haven’t, can you make a Top Ten for Best Years for Movies in the Oscars?

[@khoohockleong7585]

Top Gun is dnibned for Cinematography because it's flight dhots were shot in the studio and/or in the studio. It's Editing is very good but the reason why it lost to EEAAO is because it is quite an easy gim to edit, multiple ways to fit on fact, as most of it's scenes are flight scenes. Remember we are talking about Editing.

[@kotch35]

Great video! Can't wait for the next one.

[@gabrielcastaneda9700]

Close deserved acting noms for is young actors at critics choice and honestly Eden deserved a best actor nom

[@zakuraiyadesu]

[@fadidarwich3176]

It triggers me every time I hear someone saying that the boring mess that was "Tar" is their favorite movie... I have seen good movies, I have seen bad movies, I have seen boring movies, I have seen exciting movies... But Tar was on another level... I struggled from beginning to end hoping with every passing minute that something exciting will happen and the movie ended all of a sudden after almost 3 hours of nothing... such an overrated movie

[@BFA100]

TAR was 2 hours and 38 minutes.

Same here I just recently rented it from my local library and my gosh I love this film it’s truly a cinematic masterpiece for me the only films that year from the oscars best picture I loved equally were/are EEAAO and women talking, I loved the execution of the deep complex themes and most importantly cate Blanchett performance

[@marrmart7690]

I hate taaar😨performance of cate make you feel the film is great..but if you watch the stoty..you find it the worst film in the year..no story...walk drive dress talk about somthing no exist.same crazy..and she play the film alone..and she talk with her self

Hsu for sure. She owned the movie (even vs Yeoh). I knew that she wasn't gonna win, but she effin slayed.

[@mv21295]

Michelle Yeoh's Oscar certainly won't age badly, but in 10, 20, 30 or 50 years, we will look at this performance and ask ourselves: How in God's name Blanchett didn't win for TAR? This was Daniel Day Lewis' Daniel Plainview level of acting.

[@ozoz3444]

Sorry but Yeoh’s win is gonna age even better than Blanchetts. She’s already the best/most interesting winner in a while.

[@mv21295]

@@ozoz3444 , I am not saying it will age badly. Just that we will look at Blanchett's performance and marvel at it. That doesn't take anything from Yeoh or make her any less worthy.

[@blaz5210]

To me it's very obvious Blanchett's performance was on another level than anyone else last year, my favorite of the year my no1 film of last year, but if I was a member of the academy, I think i would have voted for someone else just because Cate already won twice. Yeoh is thus in my mind a deserving winner. 🤷‍♂️

[@marrmart7690]

The academy dont give cate blanchet the oscar..becase she make same performance in film name(blue jasmine)..and the academy give her the oscar.why they give her agian oscar for dame performance..she dont make new acting

I %100 agree that Colin Farrell should’ve won, Sorry but I feel feel Brendan Fraser’s was more of a pat in the back and I feel the movie and the performance might age like Milk.

Overwhight suffring. Colin firin.. good but boring... and the role out of commptition with sharly in the whale.. Prenden give us theatrical film..with clear masigge. Prenden was leading. Collin same supporting in leading role.

[@khoohockleong7585]

Colin Farrell won Best Actor in the Gold Derby Awards with Stephanie Hsu, Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan. That shows how much the general fans ove this performance But I heard Coillin is not much well liked in the Hoywood Circe. He is a nice person but he takes no nonsense from others. As for BAFYA Colin is not well known there - I mean his body of work whereas two supporting performers who won are Irish born - born closer yto home If NAFTA were to give to Colin Farrell, it would somehow lower the esteem of the other two performers. So why not give to Austin Butler who is playing an American personality who is a word icon Let the Americans stay at their turf

[@marrmart7690]

He lose becase prenden fraser was better..better story and supject and issue..he suport prenden more austin..he huppy he win

[@blaz5210]

Ok, I'm in the other corner when it comes to Babylon, I think it deserved what it got (nothing). At many points i was so disinterested in the story and the characters that I paid more attention to the musical score. And there were too many occasions that I said to myself, this is the same riff as in LaLaLand. I mean, if I only heard the score of Babylon, without knowing much about the movie or the composer, I'd say it must be by the same guy who scored LaLaLand. Or someone doing a bad imitation of that score. I was very happy that score did not win the Oscar.

[@munbok]

Thank you! I thought I was the only one who felt that the score sounded too much like La La Land's.

[@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719]

I think Babylon has the Best Music but All Quiet had the best score for a film, if that makes sense.

[@HoosierCubby73]

I could not agree with you more about "Close". In fact, in your Oscar snubs video, I commented that i thought Eden Dambrine deserved a Best Actor nomination for his perrformance, and it was my top Oscar acting snub of last year. "Close" certainly deserved more nominations than it received.

[@oscarbardelli8237]

I love Michelle Yeoh and I understand her win. But I have a feeling that Cate's loss will not age well.

The more time removed from the 2022 Oscars, the more I realize how many people genuinely do not like how the Jamie Lee Curtis win happened. I’m still so upset by it especially with the Angela Bassett honorary oscar announcement. It honestly should’ve just been Angela winning and then Stephanie getting that foot in the pool. That and the Riseborough situation just really spoiled part of the night to me.

[@marrmart7690]

Angela must look for script to win as a comititve..not honory oscar

[@professionalspinner9292]

Agree with most of your picks...but I've said it before and I'll say it again...Stephanie Hsu was in a LEAD ROLE in EEAAO...and as such, was in the wrong category at the Oscars, and did NOT deserve the award for Supporting Actress.

[@marrmart7690]

Jamie Lee Curtis getting that win is still so annoying to me. Stephanie and Angela were by far the better choices. But the Oscars will reward an older white woman before they even look at the more talented woc

[@sunnybear178]

Honestly still hate how the genre bias just refused to acknowledge the Black Panther films on acting because there is literally no other superhero film that is so grounded and powerful. Wakanda Forever literally prioritizes its acting moments over the action yet nothing but Angela Bassett only to get upsetted for nothing.

[@shaunfitzgerald4891]

[@johnnolan5579]

Sorry, but Bassett's performance was fine, but I have seen that performance a million times before. There was nothing special about it. Hsu and Chau were far more deserving than Bassett. And two people of color won acting Oscars the past year.

[@khoohockleong7585]

I agree. The Fabelmans is a unique movie, unusual for a movie with so much sentimentality. And O think Michelle Eiiams is great, the way dhe goes about in onyerpreting that role + as if she can rasily kustify her promiscuoty ggor the humdrum life she eas caged in. A lot of Golddrrby gans think she overacted. But I think thry miss yhe point. A reason why she beat all the other vonyrnfers yo vome back as a mominee in the Oscars.

If Cate won Best Actress, it does not matter how hood she was in the show (I personally was mesmerised by her performance - equivalent yo Mery Streep in Sohie!'s Choice - most people in Godderby actuay commented it woud be abhorrent if she won as they want Michelle Yeoh to be acknowledged. Michelle,:s acting is also rquivarnty gteat because of the way dhe uses EEAAO's visual effects to enhance her performance and the second part of the dhow it was bery meayy gfor her. In fact in the Varoety channe, Cate was rager and cutoous how Michelle Yeoh accompished her feat. Cate voud have easiy eon in any other year, even with mutipe wins already in her bag. Jupiter which signify Progrsdors is a functional malefic in Cate:s chart ruing the 7th house of Papperasi and 10th house of worthy eorks but luck (9th house) and past life credits (5th house) are not in her favour.

Stephanie Hsu should have won.

[@DanielLazuka]

Honestly, I don’t get all that acclaim of Hsu’s performance. She was fine, but nothing more. Her performance was too showy for me. It’s an unpopular opinion, but it’s MY PERSONAL one, I can’t believe she got an Oscar nomination for THIS. For me, Jamie Lee Curtis was by far much more original and fun to watch. She was basically a scene-stealer in Everything Everywhere All at Once. Again, imo, ofc

[@MuhammadAhmad-oj6mf]

I agree, when I watched it for the first time I bursted into laughter whenever she appeared on screen.
