Mank

What Mank? Pundits have pegged David Fincher’s Old Hollywood drama as one of the top contestants in the Best Picture race, but those predictions look pretty awful right now. The film barely made teeth on Netflix’s top ten list, and in danger of disappearing Full Douthat, Rotten Tomatoes ’audience score has fallen well below its critical level. To top it off, Mank all but winning an award at this week’s critics ’awards, earning a zero win from the New York Film Critics Circle and the Boston Film Critics Association, and just managing one top nomination from the Critics Association. Chicago Film critique. “If ordinary people don’t go for this, and if critics aren’t going to look for it,” Circuit Awards asked Sam Coffey, “Why are we still predicting it?”

The first cow

In Mankinstead, the NYFCC chose to turn the clock back to previous times and award Kelly Reichardt the Best Film award The first cow, a March message discounted by most major pundits. Oregon route bromance remains by far the best picture in the picture, especially with the A24 emerging as a priority Minari, but still, this is the kind of out – of – the – box option that we are happy to see from groups of critics. Oily cakes for everyone!

Chloé Zhao, Nomadland

Juggernaut Zhao started to slow down this week, as the maker took home leading honors from both the New York Film Critics Circle and the Boston Film Critics Association. Nomadland has been a major stable of end-of-year listings, and Zhao apparently stole a march forward MankHer main competitor is David Fincher. Expect more benefits to come.

Emerald Fennell, A promising young woman

Reviews for A promising young woman they’ve started remaking before it was released at Christmas time, and the film’s appealing appeal hasn’t waned since it started Sundance. Many reviewers point to Fennell’s cotton blend of black-and-white satire and hyperfeminine beauty, which Sasha Stone compares to “a bright pink birthday cake with razor blades in it.” It was a good week for the feature director for the first time, who got the New York Amannan image manipulation – an introduction for voters who will only know about it from The Crown – as well as a Best Director nod from the Chicago Film Critics Association.

Delroy Lindo, Da 5 fuil

In Best Actor, the NYFCC honored Lindo, the longtime character actor who moves into his star as a bitter veteran, who voted for Trump. 5 Blood. It is a major upside of a move for June performance, which was in danger of losing ground to newer entrants. Now that the election is behind us, can voters breathe a little easier about supporting the MAGA character?


Down

Shia LaBeouf, Women’s Pieces

With Vanessa Kirby and Ellen Burstyn stealing all the headlines, LaBeouf was always a long shot to be nominated for this sad parent drama. But after the news that FKA branches are suing the actor for abuse, Netflix has silently written its name from the plot summary and from the For Your Consideration section of the Women’s Pieces awards page.

Sidney Flanigan, Don’t always be a rare rarity

Released last week the country went into lockdown, low-key indie Eliza Hittman was counting on love from critics to back up the season-winning opportunities. He got some: Flanigan pulled out a pair of Best Actor honors from New York and Boston critics for his scarce performance as a teenager seeking contraception, and Hittman picked up the best screenshot from the NYFCC. Like The first cow, downbeat drama may be the definition of “film criticism,” but these benefits should hopefully inspire voters to go back and examine both spring positions.

Carey Mulligan, A promising young woman

Critics generally like it A promising young woman, but they like Carey Mulligan there. “Mulligan is really good in this movie,” says Alison Willmore of Vulture, who notices the actress shouting “her boyfriend’s smile like a ballistic weapon.” Despite great appearances in movies like Wildlife and Mudbound, Mulligan has not been nominated for an Oscar since she started working Education ten years ago. The bigger turn of this life could be an opportunity for voters to reward the young woman they saw promised in as well.

Chadwick Boseman, Da 5 fuil

After Lindo was named Best Actor, the NYFCC gave Spike Lee another impetus in Vietnam by honoring Boseman in the supporting actor category. This was probably a makeup win for not giving up his performance in it Ma Rainey black bottom the award in Best Actor – as the region’s top front-runner, the critics seem to have accepted that he didn’t need the promotion – but like New York Amannanproving recently for the actor, the beloved Boseman is definitely getting support around the industry to get in for his last two roles. If he does, he would be the first person ever to be nominated for two subsequent Oscars acting in one year.

Paul Raci, Metal sound

Raci won big with critics this week, winning a supporting actor award from the Boston natives, and a nomination from their Chicago counterparts. Metal sound it seems to be catching on with viewers – among Oscar fans, it’s just now The Chicago 7 Test in the audience score – making Raci’s turn as a deaf healer who spreads tight love into an intriguing dark horse.

Could this naming really happen? New York critics did their best to survive, presenting the actor-support award to Bakalova in another pleasant surprise. Even without a personal appearance, the new Bulgarian has gained a lot of fans. Of course, it also helps that Rudy Giuliani keeps finding a way to stay in the news.


Up

Amanda Seyfried, Mank

Whatever happens to Mank, I suspect Seyfried is safe, as her successful version as Marion Davies is widely regarded as the best thing about the film. Her actress nomination from the Chicago Film Critics Association was the only love above the line Mank get all week.
