One Battle After Another was considered by awards-watchers to be the lead contender for awards and it did just that. That film stars Leonardo DiCaprio at his most offhandedly brilliant as a hapless revolutionary bumbling into nightmarish political machinations, all while surrounded by fabulous, powerful and troubled women.
The gorgeous Joachim Trier film Sentimental Value , which received multiple nominations, tracks the relationship between a distressed, easily panicked actress and her callous film director father — plus the life of their family’s house as well. In addition to an unbelievable performance by Renate Reinsve in the lead role, the film also has Elle Fanning absolutely nailing the role of an American actress pushed to the levels of her comfort and talent.
It seems like a lifetime ago, but Sinners was released just back in April and voters remembered its cultural moment and box office success. The Ryan Coogler Jim-Crow-plus-vampires hit neatly mashed up the horrors of the supernatural with the horrors of the very human.
Hamnet and Wicked: For Good , representing polar opposites of the year in film, also had strong showings.
Parents were unsurprised by nominations for KPop Demon Hunters , the soundtrack of their lives since the mega-hit was released on Netflix just (can you believe it!) back in June.
There was a very important nomination for the very avatar of our age of apprehension: the terrifying clown-witch visage of Aunt Gladys in Weapons .
Both Severance , the eerie tribute to the awfulness of having to work, and Adolescence , the Netflix mega-smash about a teenager accused of murder , were well-recognised.
Pluribus, The Last of Us and The Pitt — all extremely stressful shows, each apocalyptic in their own way, especially about the dire state of the American health care system — performed well too.
