I’m happy with either winning, and I think the SAGs just clinched Yeoh. They both gave career-best performances, though.

Humphrey Bogart is often attributed as saying that acting awards aren’t valid unless everyone plays Hamlet, and if he did say that, I think there’s some truth to it. It gets so hard to compare two high-level performances when they’re very different. In the end, personal preference has to play a big part.

I would have SO much trouble deciding between these two.

I feel like Knives Out and Glass Onion are interesting examples. Neither are the detective’s stories, but he is the main driving forces of the plot. We are with him for a good amount of the story, but we start and finish the movies with a different character altogether.

It looks like the others have been Apple TV+ movies but they don’t have any PG-13 movies on the horizon. If it was R I would bet money on it being Tetris, but the rating is really throwing me off.

EDIT: Just looked and the last one was actually Missing, a Sony release. Next Sony movie is 65, so I’m betting on that being the pick after all.

Havent seen Everything Everywhere All at Once, but everything I have seen her in she has been dreadful. Like she can barely speak English let alone act.

Jackie Chan and Arnie, and mumblers like Stallone and Brando overcame their issues with fluent speaking with a ton of charisma. Michelle doesnt have that charisma.

I’ve seen this take so many times and I just don’t get it. Maybe if the movie took itself seriously for five minutes I would understand the moments that are apparently deeply emotional, but it doesn’t. The movie just treats everything like a dumb joke and I can’t imagine why any of it would honestly make someone feel “seen” in that way. It has nothing to say that hasn’t been stated by dozens of movies every year.
