SUPPORTING ACTRESS: 10) Sheila McCarthy (Women Talking) 9) Dolly Deleon (Triangle Of Sadness) 8) Gina McKee (My Policeman) 7) Hong Chou (The Whale) 6) Danai Gurira (Black Panther Wakanda Forever) 5) Mia Isaac (Not OK) 4) Margot Robbie (Babylon) 3) Angela Bassett (Black Panther Wakanda Forever) 2) Carrie Condon (The Banshees Of inisherin) 1) Michelle Williams (The Fablemans) I strongly believe Williams is a supporting role, with not much more screentime than her counterpart, Paul Dano. Even though I’ve criticized a lot of what she’s done this awards season, it’s about the performance, and she’s my favorite here of the … Continue reading Best Of 2022: The Final Lists Since the start of 2023, i started posting my Best Of 2022. I tried holding off on these final categories as long as possible, since i don’t get screeners. But at a certain point, I need to move on. So, here are my final top 10 lists for Supporting Actress, Supporting Actor, Actress, Actor, Ensemble, Director, and Picture

The Oscars are behind us, and we are back at square one, or to paraphrase, we are now nothing, nowhere, all at once. A24 proved their Oscar dominance by winning big with their titles Everything Everywhere All At Once, which left them with an almost complete sweep of the above the line categories (minus Sarah Polley’s win for Women Talking). Overall, the studio led the pack with the most wins, followed by Netflix, whose war drama All Quiet On The Western Front turned out to be their strongest contender, winning 4 Oscars. But, which categories did I get correct? Which … Continue reading Oscars: A Bunch Of First Time Winners Make History

It’s that time. We all lock in our predictions, and for better or worse, we become beholden to them. I’m still looking to increase my street credibility, so when I deviate slightly from the presumed front runner, I have to be certain about my deviation, or the payoff has to be worth it. I plan to be 100% honest, so if you don’t want to follow me with my exact predictions, the alternate path should be obvious. BEST PICTURE: Seemingly an easy to pick category, except this is the one category that slaps you in the face if you think … Continue reading My Final Oscar Predictions

These are my top 10 Adapted Screenplays of 2022. All ten of these films I was able to watch with audio description, even if a chunk were rented on demand. 10) Women Talking 9) Top Gun Maverick 8) After Yang 7) She Said 6) Marvel The Shell With Shoes On 5) The Batman 4) The Black Phone 3) Glass Onion 2) Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio 1) All Quiet On The Western Front When I got down to the final two, i kept flipping them back and forth. What Del Toro managed to do with Pinocchio, really making it feel like … Continue reading Best of 2022: Top 10 Adapted Screenplays

it’s about that mid point in the Oscar season, so I figured I’d talk about the race. Who Will Win, Who Could Win or Might Upset, and how close these races are. BEST PICTURE: Who Will Win?: Everything Everywhere All At Once Who Might Win: Top Gun Maverick, All Quiet On The Western Front, The Fablemans, The Banshees of inisherin Who Should Win: I’d be fine with EEAAO, but I’d be happier if All Quiet On The Western Front, top Gun Maverick, or Banshees Of inisherin won. I think the other five nominees just don’t have enough behind them. I … Continue reading Oscars: The Who Will Win?

here it is. The big list. And, yeah, there are some major omissions here. I feel like critically, me snubbing Better Call Saul and The White Lotus would be surprising, but for me personally, it’s harder for me to cut dramas I love like Cobra Kai and new Amsterdam, or even emerging series like Leopard Skin. So, there’s a very long list. I stopped watching Saul’s final season so I could wait for Netflix to release it with audio description. I had watched all the other seasons that way, and while it’s inconvenient for an awards list, a lack of … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Top 10 Drama Series

I definitely left some performances off this list, but that’s happened with every list. I’ve held hard on that 10, and not expanding to some 11 or 12, because I can’t Sophie’s Choice my way to ten. I acknowledge that my 11-20 choices would look great, but these are the top ten. 10 Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton) Netflix 9) Jabari Banks (Bel Air) peacock 8) Alan Ritchson (Reacher) Amazon 7) Joel Kinnamon (For All Mankind) Apple Plus 6) Adam Scott (Severance) Apple plus 5) Jeff Bridges (The Old Man) FX 4) Bob Odenkirk (Better call Saul) AMC 3) Kevin Costner (Yellowstone) … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Top 10 Lead Actor in A Drama Series

We are back in the drama category, which I’ve already spread some love out, with John Lithgow for Supporting Actor in The Old Man, Julia garner for Supporting Actress in Ozark, and the ensemble of For All Mankind. Now, my top 10 actress picks. Some deep cuts as always. 10) Sue Ann Payne (As We See It) Amazon 9) Simone Ashley (Bridgerton) Netflix 8) Carla Gugino (Leopard Skin) Peacock 7) Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Surface) Apple Plus 6) Deborah Ayorinde (Riches) Amazon 5) Britt Lower (Severance) Apple Plus 4) Kris Marshall (For All Mankind) Apple Plus 3) Christine Baranski (The Good Fight) … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Top 10 Lead Actress in A Drama Series

And now the official cutting down of the top 10. If you look through the lists, there were shows that either had acting mentions in my top 10, or ensemble mentions, and didn’t make the cut. i obviously enjoyed more than 10 limited series this year, and I hope that is reflected in this list. 10) Joe Vs Carol (Peacock) 9) Inventing Anna (Netflix) 8) The Patient (Hulu) 7) Five Days At memorial (Apple Plus) 6) The Last Days of Ptolemy Gray (Apple Plus) 5) The Undeclared War (Peacock) 4) From Scratch (Netflix) 3) Gaslit (Starz) 2) Shining Girls (Apple … Continue reading Best If 2022: Top 10 Limited Series

It’s funny how the show representation for women and men looks totally different. A lot of the shows that showed up in lead actress give way to new shows here, with actors giving the killer performances. For at least one, killer is very appropriate. 10) Kumail Nanjiani (Welcome To Chippendales) Hulu 9) Colin Firth (The Staircase) HBo MAX 8) Sebastian Stan (Pam and Tommy) Hulu 7) Jared Leto (We Crashed) Apple Plus 6) John Cameron Mitchell (Joe Vs Carol) Peacock 5) Domnhall Gleeson (The Patient) Hulu 4) Bobby Cannavale (The watcher) Netflix 3) Samuel L Jackson (The Last Days of … Continue reading Best of 2022: Top 10 Lead Actor In A limited Series

I definitely left off names that earlier in the year I didn’t think I’d be leaving off. This was a tough list to make, and i seemed to have that problem a lot more in Actress categories this year than Actor. 10) Emily Blunt (The English) Amazon Mallory Johnson (Kindred) Hulu 8) Jessica Biel (Candy) Hulu 7) Lily James (Pam and Tommy) Hulu 5) Amanda Seyfried (The Dropout) Hulu) 5) Kate McKinnon (Joe Vs Carol) Peacock) 4) Julia Roberts (Gaslit) Starz 3) Zoe Saldana (From Scratch) Netflix 2) Elizabeth Moss (Shining Girls) Apple Plus 1) Michelle Pfeiffer (The First Ladies) … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Top 10 Actress In A limited Series

Here we go. Another Top 10 list. This time, I’m finishing off the Sci-Fi Fantasy category before leaping to Limited Series. So far, Ensemble went to The Walking Dead, Supporting Actress went to Sadie Singh from Stranger Things, and Supporting Actor went to Mark Jackson from The orville. Who tops this list? 10 Erin moriarty (The Boys) Amazon 9) Tatiana Maslany (She Hulk) Disney Plus 8) Madison Taylor Baez (Let The Right one in) Showtime 7) Amelia Jones (Netflix 6) Sissy Spacek (Night Sky) Amazon 5) Emma Darcy (House Of The Dragon) HBo MAX 4) Lauren Cohen (The Walking Dead) … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Top 10 Lead Actress in a Sci-Fi or Fantasy Series
