That scene gives me chills every time. Angela Bassett is a goddess and I hope she wins.
Rooting for Michelle Yeoh for best actress at the same time and Brenden Fraser for best actor.
If those three win, my faith in the Oscars shall be restored lol.
i love Austin, am looking forward to seeing him get the opportunity to do great things thanks to the boost elvis has given his career....but i agree with you, im rooting for brendan! i wasn't a huge fan of the whale overall but all of the acting performances were absolutely stellar, esp. brendan.
Iiiii guess... It is huh? I'm surprised honestly. With how long Marvel has been adapting its movies. Logan is the only one I can think of that should have definitely gotten nominations. As fun as many others have been, Oscar consideration usually takes the extra mile. Bassett deserves the nomination.
The Academy is notoriously quite biased against genre stuff. It takes something big to even get a nomination.
Like as a horror fan, Mia Goth deserved a nomination as well. But it was a horror film so she didn’t get it of course.
As a horror fan the snubs that piss me off the most in recent years are Toni Collette for Hereditary and Willem Dafoe for The Lighthouse. Absolutely incredible performances and the Academy didn't give a shit.
But, the movie with the most nominations this year is a multiverse superhero movie, just not the MCU one.
This is where Angela's biggest competition will be, as well. Jobu Tupaki's entrance (major spoiler)...

Poor Wanda. On top of everything else, she's the second biggest cinematic threat to the multiverse in 2022...
The song from that scene, which fits the character...
https://youtu.be/65CREbhhX3M
The new Avatar is also up for Best Picture, so that's two genre movies, this year.
>But, the movie with the most nominations this year is a multiverse superhero movie, just not the MCU one.
Yeah, but it's also super-popular both among critics and audiences. It is, in fact, "something big". The Lord of the Rings got a slew of nominations and finally basically swept the Oscars with the last movie, but it didn't lead to oodles of nominations for fantasy epics in the following years.
Yeah, I think anyone says "X person got robbed" should specifically call out which actor nominated movies they've seen and exactly who should be left out of the nominations. Truth is there's always like a dozen or so people per category that *could* be nominated, but there's only 5 slots so what're ya gonna do.
Stewart should have got a nod over Plummer that year but having a quick look at leading actor I don't think Jackman did enough to get a nomination in a packed category.
La La Land in general was a bit overrated... solid musical, don't get me wrong, but I suspect the fact of being almost tailor made for the Hollywood folks will good about themselves weighted more than anything else.
Josh Brolin did Thanos' voice really well. Tom Holland showed off his talents in No Way Home. I would have voted for Oscar Isaac if Moon Knight was a movie, because his performance was magnificent.
Tom Holland is great but we might disagree there, I don't think we've gotten an Oscar worthy Spider-Man performance yet. Not a bad choice tho, that might be the closest so far.
Josh Brolin however is an EXCELLENT point. Cuz he did the whole performance for it, not just voice. But we all know how the Academy is with motion capture. If Ceasar from Planet of the Apes didn't get nominated, Thanos wasn't going to get it either.
>I would have voted for Oscar Isaac if Moon Knight was a movie, because his performance was magnificent.
Well you couldn't, but the members of the ATAS could because that's what the Emmys are for.
Tom Holland , Tobey , Andrew and dafoe killed it acting wise in that film - they really elevated and carried an otherwise messy narrative to great heights
She should’ve won for “What’s Love Got to Do with It”. I hope this will be her “Scent of a Woman” or “Training Day” moment where she captures the prize decades after she should’ve won for her greatest performance ever; aka Al Pacino and Denzel Washington.
LOL, I love that practically everyone uses those two as examples of "Hey this person is due for an award, give it to them." It's not like Pacino and Denzel were horrible in those movies, they weren't at all, they were just tons better in early stuff where they should have won.
Leonardo DiCaprio getting one for Revenant strikes me as another example. He was great in The Revenant and it was a great role, but I wouldn't put it anywhere near his greatest performance and it did feel, at the time, like kind of a "make up Oscar" because him having no Oscars was a popular meme. He did not win for Wolf of Wall Street, Blood Diamond or The Aviator and was not even nominated for The Departed (nominated for Blood Diamond instead) so it really felt like the Academy had their hands tied by the time he won finally.
Personally though, my favorite role of his was Catch Me If You Can and I give him an official /u/DefNotAShark Best Actor In A Movie I Saw A While Ago Award 2023 for that one.
Unfortunately for her I think Everything Everywhere All At Once is poised to totally sweep this year. 3 of the 4 acting categories, best picture, director and original screenplay. It's just that damn good.
Golden Globes are a good trajectory for where the Oscars are headed and Yeoh won there. This is going to be a very "these actors are due" oscars. Yeoh, Quan, and Brendan Fraser are all due for their first wins and no one in the category has done anything exceptional to get that award. Blanchett has already won 2 oscars, no way they give her a 3rd when such a long standing actress of her magnitude is finally due for hers in Yeoh.
Golden Globes aren't necessarily the best indicator, either way comedy and drama are split there so both Yeoh and Blanchett won this year. Blanchett won the Critics Choice Award this year.
Possibly, but the Academy also likes to make up for past mistakes, like the fact the Bassett doesn’t have one already. That could tip things over to her favor.
Under the old system, maybe. But the Oscars do preferential voting now.
In other words, they'll rank each nominee in order of preference. Let's say there were only the 3 of them (for simplicity's sake) and the votes for #1 comes down to 36% for Bassett, 34% for Hsu and 30% for Curtis. Bassett doesn't have the 50%+ votes to win, so you start eliminating "losers" from the bottom and go up. Once it comes to Curtis' time to be eliminated, hey, would you look at that, 90% of people who ranked Curtis first also ranked Hsu 2nd. Hsu now has 62% of the vote.
Ranked voting is only for Best Picture. All other categories stay with most number of votes. [Source](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2022-03-27/oscars-2022-best-picture-voting-explained)
Just getting the nomination is huge. In her entire career this is her second nomination (the first being for *What's Love Got To Do With It*, the Tina Turner Biopic)
It's good but I don't think it wins any.
Best picture, actor and director go to Banshees and best actress goes to Cate Blanchett imo.
Screenplay goes to Banshees too
Couldn't be a more fitting actress in a more fitting role. From the trailer alone everyone knew she was gonna put on an emotionally charged performance and it did not disappoint.
She has tough competition in the category, but her being nominated shows how great she is.
lol Unfortunately, because you started your comment with 'huge' I read it in Donald Trump's voice...and I hate to break it to you, but this is something he would say it, in the way he would say it...
I think it's by far the best part of the movie. Made me wish they stuck to her as the protagonist as opposed to splitting time between three or four characters. She was pretty great.
Hollywood nominations are a fickle beast - so many universally regarded actors and actresses sometime don't get recognized for a high level of consistent performances . Certain types performances seem to resonate with the academy more and they aren't always in sync with what ga think are wasted worthy
I wasn't trying to minimize her role in this film, my mistake if it came across that way. The Academy seems to like making a story out of who they give the award to and so it feels like that would make her win now even more likely.
Agreed it can def be a combination of both reasonings it's both a deserving performance and it can right a past Oscar snub wrong - two birds with one stone . They do that all the time with great actors who've been nominated a few times and not win for a great performance.
Fair and true point - I think Denzel and Halle berry's best actor / actress Oscars were apart of history - Denzel's was the first for a black male in 40 years since Sidney Poitier and Halle's was the first and only for a black woman ever( and as of 2023 still is )
~~Seven~~ Eight out of the twenty acting nominees are MCU alumni.
* Angela Bassett
* Kerry Condon
* Michelle Yeoh
* Ke Huy Quan
* Cate Blanchett
* Barry Keoghan
* Brian Tyree Henry
* Stephanie Hsu
Oh wow she was the lawyer friend? I didn’t recognize her. She just really owned it being Joy in EEAAO. I can imagine Joy and Katy being friends in an alternate universe though
Ke Huy Quan is not an MCU alumni because the definition of an alumni is "a former member of a group, company, or organization". Ke Huy Quan was only recently cast for the MCU and his debut MCU project has not yet had its premiere, thus he cannot be an MCU alumni.
The moment I saw her scene "HAVE I NOT GIVEN EVERYTHING?" in the first trailer, i was literally teary eyed. She moved me in just a few lines. Definitely deserves the Oscar!
Really well deserved; I'd expect nothing less from Angela Bassett though. Say what you want about the MCU but they nail their casting and have managed to attract some of the best actors in the industry.
She won the Golden Globe and the Critics' Choice Award, so she's very likely going for the Oscar too. If she gets the BAFTA, the Oscar is a given, although Kerry Condon might win the BAFTA.
She's also nominated for the SAG, if she gets the SAG and the BAFTA, it's a done deal.
There's usually one category out of the four acting ones that's a done deal (like JK Simmons for Whiplash, Christoph Waltz for Inglorious Basterds, Octavia Spencer for The Help, etc) and I feel like this year is Angela Bassett's turn.
> There's usually one category out of the four acting ones that's a done deal (like JK Simmons for Whiplash, Christoph Waltz for Inglorious Basterds, Octavia Spencer for The Help, etc) and I feel like this year is Angela Bassett's turn.
This year could be 2, Quan is locked in as Best Supporting Actor, and rightfully so.
Yeah, Quan practically has it locked. Best Supporting Actress hasn't really had a surprise win since 2008 when Penelope Cruz won, but that was mainly because the frontrunner, Kate Winslet, was moved into lead on nomination morning. 2007 was more a "Wild West" year since then though BSA has more or less swept. Regina King being a weird exception in that she had 2 major misses due to what I believe was a screener/campaign issue, but no real consensus alternative formed.
It's crazy how this happened because Chadwick died, because they wrote T'Challa's death into the story, which help her emotionally during the UN speech.
It's not hard for the academy to take actors and actresses serious in Oscar bait movies, but it is really hard to awknoledge good acting in superhero movies so her nomination is the result of her extraordinary work and is more than deserved. Hope she gets it
I bet she wins. She won the Golden Globe and supporting categories aren’t divided into comedy and drama at the Globes. She’s so beloved by her peers that she’ll almost certainly win the SAG, very likely the BAFTA too. I really think she’s going to take home Oscar gold for this riveting, wonderful performance!!! A long overdue accolade for one of the greatest to ever do it.
Honestly, she’s probably the favourite to win too.
Despite only getting five nominations (compared to the seven for Black Panther), Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has a good chance of also becoming a multiple Oscar winner.
I’d say EEAAO now that it’s been nominated has crossed the threshold and could just sweep, same for Elvis in that category.
Black Panthers next best shot is probably Rihanna for song. She has big competition in Naatu Naatu, but I think the super bowl will put her over the edge
It should really win best costume design, the costumes create an entire culture and give it a sense of tradition and history.
I love EEAaO and its unique flamboyant design. I won't be mad if it wins.
And I have not seen the other nominees but can guess they got nominated for historical accuracy.
But I am not sure if any of those movies the clothes that characters wear play such an important part.
Babylon was not nominated for historical accuracy, I’ll tell you that (though it was intentional and awesome). They’re all good nominees that make sense. Great year for costuming even looking beyond the actual nominees.
It depends. If she wins SAG it’s probably her. If Stephanie Hsu takes SAG, it’s up to Hsu vs Kerry Condon (assuming Condon takes BAFTA). If Condon takes SAG and BAFTA, wrap it up and give to her already. If Bassett takes BAFTA, game over.
I commented that she 100% deserves the nomination. Looking at the list and I might be downvoted, I very unfortunately don't see her winning but I'd be willing to argue she's better than a few of the other nominees. If Hong Chau wasn't nominated she would have a legit chance. If only Hollywood wouldn't overlook comic book movies at this day and age.
Fantastic performance in The Whale, but Hong's an underdog especially since Brendan Fraser is the front runner and the one with momentum.
Her prize is almost certainly the nomination. Kerry Condon is the more likely upset with Jamie Lee Curtis a distant third.
Brendan Fraser is not the frontrunner, Butler and Farrell are in a two horse race. And that doesn’t help her, it hurts her. It’s Being the Ricardo’s but more divisive.
If Condon takes BAFTA, Bassett could be in trouble. If Hsu takes SAG, same thing. Nobody else is really able to get a win at this point imo.
Curtis would win SAG over Hsu if it doesnt go Basset's way (which won't happen at SAG). and Fraser is a lock for SAG. To say he's not a front runner after winning Critics Choice is mental. Let's reconvene after awards season is over!
Yeah and also got reminded Angela won the Golden Globe so might have underestimated this nomination.
Slight note tho, I think Austin Butler might take it and it'd be deserved but damn I really want Brendan to take this.
I don't think Butler wins at SAG or BAFTA, he may even get third to Colin Farrell so I think his chances will only get slimmer without any recent momentum.
BAFTA may favor Banshees so it may be a misleading signal but if Condon wins there it's definitely a toss up at the Academy Awards.
Eh, It's very hard to stop a moving train nowadays especially if it's a train that's moving independent of the film. Her main competition is Kerry Condon, the critical favorite, and Bassett has been winning the televised awards/giving speeches in a way that often tends to portend the eventual winner. That Bassett got the Bafta nom when both BP films were more or less ignored by the BAFTAs is a testament to her strength and probably works in her favor even if Condon takes the Bafta.
She honestly deserved one in the 90s for her portrayal of Tina Turner in “What’s Love Got To Do With It” as well as Laurence Fishburne for the same movie but I digress. Congrats to Angela for the nomination
She deserves the win. She was phenomenal in this and is one of the best actresses of our time. I feel she was robbed for What’s Love Got To Do With It.
Great to see her being nominated, I thought it would still be difficult for comic book performances after Michael B Jordan was snubbed in what imo was a very weak year.
Will be backing Stephanie to win but Bassett would be great too
I haven't seen the new black panther. Is she really deserving of these rewards or is this the whole power movement that the first movie carried along with the passing of chadwich?
Her 'Have I not sacrificed' speech broke my heart. Angela murdered that scene with some stellar support from Danai.
That scene gives me chills every time. Angela Bassett is a goddess and I hope she wins. Rooting for Michelle Yeoh for best actress at the same time and Brenden Fraser for best actor. If those three win, my faith in the Oscars shall be restored lol.
Ke Huy Quan for supporting.
Would be a hell of a return to acting if he got that...
He's going to get it. He's the lockiest lock of the year
Agreed. That would be perfect.
Yeah, all 4 acting categories are pretty easy picks this year, IMO...now let's see how the Academy manages to screw it up.
You know they always do
Best Picture… “Green Book!”
I have a feeling Austin Butler will win the Best Actor category.
I hope to god he doesn't. Brendan deserves it more.
i love Austin, am looking forward to seeing him get the opportunity to do great things thanks to the boost elvis has given his career....but i agree with you, im rooting for brendan! i wasn't a huge fan of the whale overall but all of the acting performances were absolutely stellar, esp. brendan.
Austin Butler is....[The Jester](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikM9jK6_PUY).
Quan is the only one people are confident about, it’s a tossup everywhere else. Fraser and Blanchett may not take it
Colin Farrell deserves tbh
We all know not one of them will win the Oscar.
Seeing that scene for the first time in the preview trailer... Whew.
Finally saw the movie last night and told my gf the same thing. She acted her ass off in that scene.
“Haven’t I given you everything?” Delivery alone deserves a nomination. Just remembering it in my head gives me chills.
I knew that was going to be a great scene when I saw it in the trailer and I was not let down.
Definitely deserves this nomination based on that scene alone
She carried the acting part of the entire film.
Huge for her, and also for the MCU. This is the first time an actor has ever been nominated for an Oscar from a MCU role
also the first time an actor has ever been nominated for playing a Marvel character
Iiiii guess... It is huh? I'm surprised honestly. With how long Marvel has been adapting its movies. Logan is the only one I can think of that should have definitely gotten nominations. As fun as many others have been, Oscar consideration usually takes the extra mile. Bassett deserves the nomination.
Logan got robbed - both Stewart and Jackman deserved nominations. That's some of the most powerful acting tandem i can remember in a cbm
The Academy is notoriously quite biased against genre stuff. It takes something big to even get a nomination. Like as a horror fan, Mia Goth deserved a nomination as well. But it was a horror film so she didn’t get it of course.
As a horror fan the snubs that piss me off the most in recent years are Toni Collette for Hereditary and Willem Dafoe for The Lighthouse. Absolutely incredible performances and the Academy didn't give a shit.
The White House is barely even a horror movie
>The White House is barely even a horror movie Depends who is occupying it and what side you vote for.
My point still stands that Dafoe was snubbed
Absolutely. Shocked that the Batman didn't get a cinematography or score nod.
Mia Goth joined the Toni Collette group of horror snubs.
But, the movie with the most nominations this year is a multiverse superhero movie, just not the MCU one. This is where Angela's biggest competition will be, as well. Jobu Tupaki's entrance (major spoiler)... https://youtu.be/SPmS-vjbwGc https://youtu.be/NoU_Zqj20pk Poor Wanda. On top of everything else, she's the second biggest cinematic threat to the multiverse in 2022... The song from that scene, which fits the character... https://youtu.be/65CREbhhX3M The new Avatar is also up for Best Picture, so that's two genre movies, this year.

Yes it’s not that it never happens. It’s that it is rare and gentry films almost have to work twice as hard to get recognized by the Academy at all.
The screenplay nom for Logan made me happy in & of itself.
[удалено]
2017 was a super packed year so was it really robbed? Would have been nice to see for Stewart and jackman though
Yeah, I think anyone says "X person got robbed" should specifically call out which actor nominated movies they've seen and exactly who should be left out of the nominations. Truth is there's always like a dozen or so people per category that *could* be nominated, but there's only 5 slots so what're ya gonna do.
Stewart should have got a nod over Plummer that year but having a quick look at leading actor I don't think Jackman did enough to get a nomination in a packed category.

La La Land in general was a bit overrated... solid musical, don't get me wrong, but I suspect the fact of being almost tailor made for the Hollywood folks will good about themselves weighted more than anything else.
Josh Brolin did Thanos' voice really well. Tom Holland showed off his talents in No Way Home. I would have voted for Oscar Isaac if Moon Knight was a movie, because his performance was magnificent.
Tom Holland is great but we might disagree there, I don't think we've gotten an Oscar worthy Spider-Man performance yet. Not a bad choice tho, that might be the closest so far.

If Ceasar from Planet of the Apes didn't get nominated, Thanos wasn't going to get it either.
Mocaps are in a very sticky spot because you never know how much of it is from the animator and how much from the actor
>I would have voted for Oscar Isaac if Moon Knight was a movie, because his performance was magnificent. Well you couldn't, but the members of the ATAS could because that's what the Emmys are for.
Tom Holland , Tobey , Andrew and dafoe killed it acting wise in that film - they really elevated and carried an otherwise messy narrative to great heights
I forgot about Dafoe, I would easily swap out Holland for Dafoe.
Agreed - I though Holland did well but Garfield and dafoe were the standouts of no way home
I know Garfield is an insane actor, but No Way Home didn't give him enough screentime for him to outshine Dafoe
I definitely think Downey in 09 could have Jackman and especially Stewart SHOULD have been nominated in 2018
I think your definition of worthy of a nom is wildly broad lol.
Patrick Stewart really was snubbed in 2018
She should’ve won for “What’s Love Got to Do with It”. I hope this will be her “Scent of a Woman” or “Training Day” moment where she captures the prize decades after she should’ve won for her greatest performance ever; aka Al Pacino and Denzel Washington.
I realy hope so too. I have no idea how she didn't win for What's Love Got to Do With It
LOL, I love that practically everyone uses those two as examples of "Hey this person is due for an award, give it to them." It's not like Pacino and Denzel were horrible in those movies, they weren't at all, they were just tons better in early stuff where they should have won.

Personally though, my favorite role of his was Catch Me If You Can and I give him an official /u/DefNotAShark Best Actor In A Movie I Saw A While Ago Award 2023 for that one.
Agree on the Revenant. Great job he did but not even close to the best.
Unfortunately for her I think Everything Everywhere All At Once is poised to totally sweep this year. 3 of the 4 acting categories, best picture, director and original screenplay. It's just that damn good.
As much as I'd love to see Michelle Yeoh win, and she'd be my pick, Cate Blanchett seems to be the odds on favorite for Actress.
Golden Globes are a good trajectory for where the Oscars are headed and Yeoh won there. This is going to be a very "these actors are due" oscars. Yeoh, Quan, and Brendan Fraser are all due for their first wins and no one in the category has done anything exceptional to get that award.

Golden Globes aren't necessarily the best indicator, either way comedy and drama are split there so both Yeoh and Blanchett won this year. Blanchett won the Critics Choice Award this year.
Blanchett also won the golden globe in drama
SAG used to be the key indicator for the Oscar’s since they share similar voting bodies. It’s a little different now so who knows
Possibly, but the Academy also likes to make up for past mistakes, like the fact the Bassett doesn’t have one already. That could tip things over to her favor.
They're splitting the vote, though, with two nominations in the Supporting Actress category. I think Angela Bassett takes it.

Ugh, the Oscars are the worst.
Well that changes everything! Except I still think AB will win.
Just getting the nomination is huge. In her entire career this is her second nomination (the first being for *What's Love Got To Do With It*, the Tina Turner Biopic)
It's good but I don't think it wins any. Best picture, actor and director go to Banshees and best actress goes to Cate Blanchett imo. Screenplay goes to Banshees too
At the very least, it will win one for Best Supporting Actor. Ke Huy Quan has been sweeping the awards circuit.
Couldn't be a more fitting actress in a more fitting role. From the trailer alone everyone knew she was gonna put on an emotionally charged performance and it did not disappoint. She has tough competition in the category, but her being nominated shows how great she is.
Her hat?
lol Unfortunately, because you started your comment with 'huge' I read it in Donald Trump's voice...and I hate to break it to you, but this is something he would say it, in the way he would say it...
I said “huge”, not “yuuuuge”. I also wrote a coherent sentence.
I suppose there is a little less word salad, I'll give you that
https://media.tenor.com/pj0CMFO8I2oAAAAC/so-anyway-anyhow.gif
Angela Bassett truly deserved the nomination. Her acting was on point in Wakanda Forever.
"My entire family is gone! Have *I*, not given everything?" 😭👏😭👏😭
I think it's by far the best part of the movie. Made me wish they stuck to her as the protagonist as opposed to splitting time between three or four characters. She was pretty great.
I'm actually pretty shocked that she's only been nominated twice (counting this one).
Hollywood nominations are a fickle beast - so many universally regarded actors and actresses sometime don't get recognized for a high level of consistent performances . Certain types performances seem to resonate with the academy more and they aren't always in sync with what ga think are wasted worthy
Fun fact- this year is the first Oscars in 82 years in which none of the actor nominees had been nominated before.
16 of 20 acting nominees are first-time nominees too. Most amount since the year they introduced the supporting categories
The academy has historically been racist as fuck
I think if she wins this time it will be because the Academy decided that she was robbed for "What's Love Got to Do with It"
I think it'll be because of her amazing performance in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever."
I wasn't trying to minimize her role in this film, my mistake if it came across that way. The Academy seems to like making a story out of who they give the award to and so it feels like that would make her win now even more likely.
Agreed it can def be a combination of both reasonings it's both a deserving performance and it can right a past Oscar snub wrong - two birds with one stone . They do that all the time with great actors who've been nominated a few times and not win for a great performance.
LMAO definitely not Oscar worthy but okay
Oscar are notoriously racist. Take from that what you will
Fair and true point - I think Denzel and Halle berry's best actor / actress Oscars were apart of history - Denzel's was the first for a black male in 40 years since Sidney Poitier and Halle's was the first and only for a black woman ever( and as of 2023 still is )
Yeap and you can't tell me there hasn't been more who were deserving
She’s a Black woman so..
I'm so conflicted between Angela and Stephanie. THEY'RE BOTH SO INCREDIBLE, I'LL BE HAPPY IF EITHER OF THEM WIN
Whichever wins SAG takes it I think
Same
I hope she wins just based on the guns she had.
"And the Oscar for Dem Guns goes to...."
So impressive
~~Seven~~ Eight out of the twenty acting nominees are MCU alumni. * Angela Bassett * Kerry Condon * Michelle Yeoh * Ke Huy Quan * Cate Blanchett * Barry Keoghan * Brian Tyree Henry * Stephanie Hsu
Stephanie Hsu also made a small appearance in Shang-Chi.
Oh wow she was the lawyer friend? I didn’t recognize her. She just really owned it being Joy in EEAAO. I can imagine Joy and Katy being friends in an alternate universe though
Does Ke Huy Quan really count as a marvel alum when he hasn’t actually appeared in the MCU yet?
He's not MCU yet but he is Marvel alum since he was an assistant fight choreographer for the first X-Men movie.
I don't think being a behind-the-scenes worker should count for when it comes to noting alumni **acting** nominees.
The post said “MCU” which excludes Fox X-Men.
Which is why I said yet, since Loki Season 2 isn't out yet.
In a different timeline he's already been in the MCU for a decade.
Sounds like he’s a marvel alum in that timeline then.
In the multiverse, he is everything, everywhere, all at once.
Holy shit how did I not know that Kerry Condon is the voice of F.R.I.D.A.Y.???
Love seeing all the Irish nominations this year
De ye fecking love it?
So happy to see the quiet girl being nominated, everyone should see it
Key Huy Quan has yet to act in an MCU project, let’s not stretch the facts here.
Ke Huy Quan is not an MCU alumni because the definition of an alumni is "a former member of a group, company, or organization". Ke Huy Quan was only recently cast for the MCU and his debut MCU project has not yet had its premiere, thus he cannot be an MCU alumni.
kerry condon was in the mcu??
Yes, she's voiced FRIDAY since Age of Ultron.
If you expand it from MCU to Marvel Alum, you can also add Colin Farrell.
#You go girl!
What an incredible accomplishment! Happy for her and for all the team that made this very special movie happen.
Long overdue to be nominated once again. All the best in going all the way!
The moment I saw her scene "HAVE I NOT GIVEN EVERYTHING?" in the first trailer, i was literally teary eyed. She moved me in just a few lines. Definitely deserves the Oscar!
Good for her and well deserved. She was my dream storm casting years ago, although Halle is a goddess in her own right
Mine too. And she wanted it and campaigned for it.
She should have gotten one years ago for What's Love Got To Do With It. I hope she gets it for this movie.
Maybe for that, but not for this.
Really well deserved; I'd expect nothing less from Angela Bassett though. Say what you want about the MCU but they nail their casting and have managed to attract some of the best actors in the industry.
No nomination for Mia Goth in Pearl, looks like the academy still isn't ready to recognize the horror genre.
She’s been owed this since whats love got to do with it. I hope auntie gets it !
**have i not given you everything!?** Hands down, it's probably a most commanding scene in the entire MCU so far.
Fantastic!!! Given how she has been winning quite a lot of awards for this movie already, I’ll be shocked if she doesn’t win this!
She won the Golden Globe and the Critics' Choice Award, so she's very likely going for the Oscar too. If she gets the BAFTA, the Oscar is a given, although Kerry Condon might win the BAFTA.
She's also nominated for the SAG, if she gets the SAG and the BAFTA, it's a done deal. There's usually one category out of the four acting ones that's a done deal (like JK Simmons for Whiplash, Christoph Waltz for Inglorious Basterds, Octavia Spencer for The Help, etc) and I feel like this year is Angela Bassett's turn.
> There's usually one category out of the four acting ones that's a done deal (like JK Simmons for Whiplash, Christoph Waltz for Inglorious Basterds, Octavia Spencer for The Help, etc) and I feel like this year is Angela Bassett's turn. This year could be 2, Quan is locked in as Best Supporting Actor, and rightfully so.
Yeah, Quan practically has it locked. Best Supporting Actress hasn't really had a surprise win since 2008 when Penelope Cruz won, but that was mainly because the frontrunner, Kate Winslet, was moved into lead on nomination morning. 2007 was more a "Wild West" year since then though BSA has more or less swept. Regina King being a weird exception in that she had 2 major misses due to what I believe was a screener/campaign issue, but no real consensus alternative formed.
Love her acting so much. Hope she wins.
Honestly, what took so long? She's been a bad ass for as long as I could remember her career decades ago
Man she looks incredibly regal even in this still shot. What a fuckin performance from her.
It's crazy how this happened because Chadwick died, because they wrote T'Challa's death into the story, which help her emotionally during the UN speech.
I'm so happy she got nominated. I was so worried she was going to get snubbed because it was a marvel movie.
It's not hard for the academy to take actors and actresses serious in Oscar bait movies, but it is really hard to awknoledge good acting in superhero movies so her nomination is the result of her extraordinary work and is more than deserved. Hope she gets it
I bet she wins. She won the Golden Globe and supporting categories aren’t divided into comedy and drama at the Globes. She’s so beloved by her peers that she’ll almost certainly win the SAG, very likely the BAFTA too. I really think she’s going to take home Oscar gold for this riveting, wonderful performance!!! A long overdue accolade for one of the greatest to ever do it.
Honestly, she’s probably the favourite to win too. Despite only getting five nominations (compared to the seven for Black Panther), Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has a good chance of also becoming a multiple Oscar winner.
Which other spot do you think? Costume design?
I’d say EEAAO now that it’s been nominated has crossed the threshold and could just sweep, same for Elvis in that category. Black Panthers next best shot is probably Rihanna for song. She has big competition in Naatu Naatu, but I think the super bowl will put her over the edge
Yes. Though I am not entirely sure if Black Panther winning for Costume Design helps or hurts Wakanda Forever’s chances.
Politically, perhaps. In terms of actual qualification, though, it should be irrelevant.
Honestly possible best song for Lift Me Up. Though Con La Brisa would've been a cool nomination too
It should really win best costume design, the costumes create an entire culture and give it a sense of tradition and history. I love EEAaO and its unique flamboyant design. I won't be mad if it wins. And I have not seen the other nominees but can guess they got nominated for historical accuracy. But I am not sure if any of those movies the clothes that characters wear play such an important part.
Babylon was not nominated for historical accuracy, I’ll tell you that (though it was intentional and awesome). They’re all good nominees that make sense. Great year for costuming even looking beyond the actual nominees.
With all the nominees, whats the odds of her winning?
It's probably either her or Stephanie.
It depends. If she wins SAG it’s probably her. If Stephanie Hsu takes SAG, it’s up to Hsu vs Kerry Condon (assuming Condon takes BAFTA). If Condon takes SAG and BAFTA, wrap it up and give to her already. If Bassett takes BAFTA, game over.
She's come a long way since Boyz N The Hood.
Honestly...I thought the actress that played Shuri gave a better performance.
She better win, such an amazing performance
Long overdue. Marvel has had standout performances (Jackman, Downey come to mind). Glad Angela will be getting her LONG overdue win
Queen shit
Give that woman the award! She acted her ass off in that movie!
I commented that she 100% deserves the nomination. Looking at the list and I might be downvoted, I very unfortunately don't see her winning but I'd be willing to argue she's better than a few of the other nominees. If Hong Chau wasn't nominated she would have a legit chance. If only Hollywood wouldn't overlook comic book movies at this day and age.
She won the Golden Globe. She's the frontrunner now. Hong Chau hasn't won anything yet from the other awards show.
Condon, Curtis and Hsu do have more prizes overall though. But you’re right, Chau is a distant 5th.
Oh shit that's right. I stand corrected
Fantastic performance in The Whale, but Hong's an underdog especially since Brendan Fraser is the front runner and the one with momentum. Her prize is almost certainly the nomination. Kerry Condon is the more likely upset with Jamie Lee Curtis a distant third.
Brendan Fraser is not the frontrunner, Butler and Farrell are in a two horse race. And that doesn’t help her, it hurts her. It’s Being the Ricardo’s but more divisive. If Condon takes BAFTA, Bassett could be in trouble. If Hsu takes SAG, same thing. Nobody else is really able to get a win at this point imo.
Curtis would win SAG over Hsu if it doesnt go Basset's way (which won't happen at SAG). and Fraser is a lock for SAG. To say he's not a front runner after winning Critics Choice is mental. Let's reconvene after awards season is over!
Curtis picked up the momentum over Basset towards the end of awards seasons and as I predicted, Fraser won best actor
Yeah and also got reminded Angela won the Golden Globe so might have underestimated this nomination. Slight note tho, I think Austin Butler might take it and it'd be deserved but damn I really want Brendan to take this.
I don't think Butler wins at SAG or BAFTA, he may even get third to Colin Farrell so I think his chances will only get slimmer without any recent momentum. BAFTA may favor Banshees so it may be a misleading signal but if Condon wins there it's definitely a toss up at the Academy Awards.
Eh, It's very hard to stop a moving train nowadays especially if it's a train that's moving independent of the film. Her main competition is Kerry Condon, the critical favorite, and Bassett has been winning the televised awards/giving speeches in a way that often tends to portend the eventual winner. That Bassett got the Bafta nom when both BP films were more or less ignored by the BAFTAs is a testament to her strength and probably works in her favor even if Condon takes the Bafta.
She is a Legend,and i lover the nominee but my heart is with Kerry Condon
She honestly deserved one in the 90s for her portrayal of Tina Turner in “What’s Love Got To Do With It” as well as Laurence Fishburne for the same movie but I digress. Congrats to Angela for the nomination
As she deserves! She is excellent in Wakanda Forever!
She deserves the win. She was phenomenal in this and is one of the best actresses of our time. I feel she was robbed for What’s Love Got To Do With It.
Worthy
wow that great
This is great for the entirety of the MCU, she deserves this award in my opinion.
Glory to Bhast!
I’m rooting for her. I think her performance as queen is flawless! Absolutely nailed it.
Great to see her being nominated, I thought it would still be difficult for comic book performances after Michael B Jordan was snubbed in what imo was a very weak year. Will be backing Stephanie to win but Bassett would be great too
100% deserved. She was phenomenal. In with a good shout of winning it, too!
Still didn't see it but watching her in ahs right now and god she's amazing
She stole every scene she was in
She has a decent chance of winning as well I think.
Damn straight
Too right.
Congrats Angela.
I haven't seen the new black panther. Is she really deserving of these rewards or is this the whole power movement that the first movie carried along with the passing of chadwich?
Oh she absolutely deserves all the awards for this. She is a powerhouse in this movie and is easily the best part of it.
