    Awards season 2023



    AFI top 10 - see Deadline
    AMERICAN FICTION (Amazon)
    BARBIE (Orion)
    THE HOLDOVERS (Focus)
    KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON (Apple)
    MAISTRO (Netflix)
    MAY DECEMBER (Netflix)
    OPPENHEIMER (Universal)
    PAST LIVES (A24)
    POOR THINGS (Searchlight)
    SPIDER-MAN (Sony Pictures)
    Netflix is represented by two films — MAESTRO and MAY DECEMBER — and is the only distributor to have more than one of its movies on the list this year.

    No film in AFI Awards history since their establishment in 2001 has gone on to win the Best Picture Oscar without first being on this list; the films often match the eventual majority of Oscar Best Picture nominees.- Deadline.

    Monday Dec. 11 the Golden Globe nominations will be announced. Then we will know where we stand for the Oscars this year.

    We haven't seen or reviewed AMERICAN FICTION. The rest have been covered on Filmleaf.

    The Astra HCA nominations were slightlyt different because they listed AIR and THE COLOR PURPLE as Awards Watch will explain.

    Nothing international on either - no ANATOMY OF A FALL or THE ZONE OF INTEREST and in Beat Actress nominations Sandra Hüller is not mentioned.

    A BEST INTERNATIONAL FEATURE shortlist is as follows:

    ANATOMY OF A FALL (France)
    CONCRETE UTOPIA (South Korea)
    FALLEN LEAVES (Finland)
    JAEWAN (India)
    PERFECT DAYS (Japan)
    RADICAL (Mexico)
    SOCIETY OF THE SNOW (SPAIN)
    THE TEACHERS' LOUNGE (Germany)
    THE ZONE OF INTEREST (England)

    Why do they keep nominating the meh Kaurismaaki FALLEN LEAVES and ignore the great Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Turkey) ABOUT DRY GRASSES? At least here, ZONE OF INTEREST and ANATOMY OF A FALL, two of the year's best films, are listed. Note that THE ZONE OF INTEREST is in German and PERFECT DAYS (which everyone likes) is in Japanese, but by a German director (Wim Wenders). I just reviewed CONCRETE UTOPIA. It's a very arresting movie. I want to see THE TEACHERS' LOUNGE but haven't been able to get it. [Now I have.]

    Others:
    SOCIETY OF THE SNOW (Jan Bayona)
    AUTOBIOGRAPHY (Mubarak)

    SNOW is from Chile, the third attempt to depict the 1972 Chilean rugby team Andes plane crsh survival story, said to be the best. AUTOBIOGRAPHY is from Indonesia and I recently wrote an enthusiastic review, which I'll publish now. Watch for it.

    A new title on the awards horizon - out Dec. 22, 2023

    THE IRON CLAW (A24)

    trailer

    Written and directed by Sean Durkin, director of the memorable 2011 NYFF psychological horror movie MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE. About an obsessive wrestling family with:

    Zac Efron as Kevin Von Erich
    Jeremy Allen White as Kerry Von Erich
    Harris Dickinson as David Von Erich (!)
    Maura Tierney as Doris Von Erich
    Stanley Simons as Mike Von Erich
    Holt McCallany as Fritz Von Erich
    The Oscar Expert are listing the final Golden Globes awards dramatic feature nominations as follows. Maybe IRON CLAW is lower. Maybe NAPOLEON is in there.

    1. OPPENHEIMER
    2 KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON
    3. MAESTRO
    4. PAST LIVES
    5. ANATOMY OF A FALL
    6. THE IRON CLAW
    _________________
    7. THE ZONE OF INTEREST
    8. SALTBURN
    9. FERRARI
    10. ALL OF US STRANGERS
    11. ORIGIN
    12. NYAD
    13. THE BOYS IN THE BOAT
    Other new movies in theaters at Christmas include; WONKA, starring Timothée Chalamet.
    I'm diasppointed SALTBURN is in there.

    THE BOYS IN THE BOAT is another young male sports picture: During the height of the Great Depression, members of the rowing team at the University of Washington get thrust into the spotlight as they compete for gold at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.

    I like the Best Film Drama list except for my previously stated dislike of the Scorsese. I've stated my eagerness to see AMERICAN FICTION, and my strong disapproval of the inclusion of the minor promotional film AIR. The rest of the Musical or Comedy list is great.

    COMMENTS
    Best Female I'd choose Sandra Hüller hands down, Best Actor definitely Bradley Cooper. Female comedy: Emma Stone. Male comedy probably Giamatti or Wright. Animation: SPIDER-VERSE. Best Foreign: ANATOMY OF A FALL and/or THE ZONE OF INTEREST (both would be nice). Had thought IO CAPITANO's reviews were poor but its Metacritic rating is 82% based on six reviews. SOCIETY OF THE SNOW's Metascore is 70% - and a disaster-survival picture with cannibalism seems unlikely to win. The Oscar Expert's THE IROJ CLAW prediction was wrong. They did well, but the second half of their Best Picture noms were all off.

    BARBIE led in total nominations with 18 overall (that's an all-time record high; the previous record was 14) — including Best Picture, Best Director (Greta Gerwig), Best Actress (Margot Robbie), and Best Supporting Actor (Ryan Gosling),double the Golden Globes. After BARBIE come OPPENHEIMER and POOR THINGS (13 noms each), followed closely by KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON (12 noms), with another best actress nom for Lily Gladstone, who is popping up a lot this year.

    Missing: Natalie Portman (MAY DECEMBER) and Annette Bening (NYAD) in Best Actress, Anatomy of a Fall in Best Picture, Willem Dafoe (Poor Things) in Best Supporting Actor, and another shocking snub for Taraji P. Henson for her brilliant work in The Color Purple, despite the film earning an Ensemble nomination.

    (I've seen NYAD now. Both are good but I prefer Jodie. It's a slog but the tech aspects are well done.


    Why are Comedy and Best Foreign listed way down both here and by the Golden Globes?

    I'm glad to see AIR off the top list (but it has multiple noms) and PAST LIVES visible. SALTBURN keeps coming up, out of place in my opinion. (My reviews: AMERICAN FICTION; THE COLOR PURPLE.)

    Note WONKA and NAPOLEON made it into Costume Design. WONKA (which I just saw) got Best Actor and Best Young Actor noms, so Caleh Lane got noticed.

    Oscar Shortlist



    This list (announced Dec. 21), for ten categories, may be of less interest than the preceding lists, but here it is. We're interested in Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and BestScreenplay, which aren't here. The best foreign list is missing some of the obvious best, like Justine Triet's Anatomy of a Fall and Nuri Bilge Ceylan's About Dry Grasses. Ceylan always gets left out, as the YouTube Oscar Expert bros have recently oted. France chose to submit a simpering food romance directed by the Vieetnamese director (Scent of Green Papayas, Norwegian Wood) instead of Anatomy of a Fall. The Oscar Expert bros think that was dumb and I agree. They are all out for Annatomy of a Fall and The Zone of Interest (happily, included), and I am too.
    I'm going to see American Fiction

    BAFTA award masks

    New nominees

    New awards nominee lists (e.g., the BAFTAS) bring to the fore some additional movies - not yet reviewed on Filmleaf - that we need to know about to be aware of the best of 2023:

    For Oscar predictions see this Variety article

    HOW TO HAVE SEX (Molly Manning Walker 2023) is included in the BAFTA longlist and cast member Mia McKenna-Bruce is in the Leading Actress list. The Metacritic rating of HOW TO HAVE SEX: 80%. I don't know where you can watch it.

    SOCIETY OF THE SNOW (J.A. Bayona), Spain's best foreign submission, about the 1972 plane crash in the Andes with the rugby team that struggles to survive, is on the five-film Oscar Best International Feature Film finalis shortlist. It can be watched on Netflix.

    ORIGIN (Ava DuVernay) is a possiblity in the director or screenplay categories, so maybe we should watch. It's in theaters now (Jan. 13, 2024).

    THE BEAR, BEEF are TV series and mini-series I haven't seen, that are nominted, if we're going to include TV - and I wouldn't want to have missed 'SUCCESSION.' (I'm behind on THE CROWN but have watched earlier seasons.)

    ARE YOU THERE, GOD? IT'S ME MARGARET (Kelly Fremon Craig), unreviewed and unseen, comes up in various categories.

    THE MOTHER OF ALL LIES (Asmae El Moudir) . . . I recently reviewed Germany's best foreign Oscar finalist, THE TEACHERS' LOUNGE (İlker Çatak). This Moroccan doc concludes the five finalists but we don't have access to it to review now.

    RUSTIN ( George C. Wolfe) & NYAD (Jimmy Chin, Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi) have not been reviewed on Filmleaf, but I have seen them. Coleman Domingo of RUSTIN and both Annette Bening and Jodie Foster of NYAD have been acting award nominees.

    Filmleaf COMMENTS
    Are you excited? You should be. 2023 was a great movie year, and so this is a great awards season, and the Oscars as always will be the climax: March 10th.
    MOST NOMS:
    Oppenheimer: 13
    Poor Things: 11
    Killers of the Flower Moon; 10
    Barbie: 8
    SURPRISES. . . AND SNUBS:
    BEST PICTURE: It's surprising and heartening that movies of this quality were avaiilble from a single year and got nominated. Things are looking good.
    Greta Gerwig got no Best Director nom for Barbie and Barbie got edged out for various noms despite being the highest growing picture of the year. (It was "snubbed" for earlier awards noms already. People are underwhelmed by it, apparently.)
    French courtroom thriller Anatomy of a Fall got numerous noms, and Past Lives, that toucining little Sundance film about Koreans separated by immigration - amazing.
    American Fiction did surprisingly well. I found it a little disappointing but it's topical and smart.
    Leonardo DiCaprio was passed over, though this isn't a surprise from other awards lists already.
    Sterling K. Brown (American Fiction) edged out Charles Melton and Willem Dafoe for Supporting Actor noms. Some were saying Melton was a shoe-in.
    May December's Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore got edged out for Best Acting noms. The Oscar Expert bros have said nobody likes this film and I don't.
    Duvernay's Origin got no noms at all. (Have not seen.)
    For detailed commentary on this general topic see the Washington Post article HERE.
    I still have to watch and review SOCIETY OF THE SNOW and IO CAPITANO, from the best foreign list.

    Have now watched IO CAPITANO - a tremendous film.

    On reflection one sees that among those passed over was Zac Efron and THE IRON CLAW. Much admired in France, where they gave him and the supporting cast raves (AlloCiné 4.0).
