The Shattered Lens Live Tweets Oscar Sunday

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Oscar Sunday started like any other Sunday.

Some members of the TSL Team were less concerned with the Oscars than others:

That said, when the ceremony did start, we had some opinions:

6 Actresses Who I Hope Will Win An Oscar In The Next Ten Years

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Continuing the theme from my previous post, here are 6 actresses who I sincerely hope will have won their first competitive Oscar by the time that the 2033 ceremony rolls around.

  1. Aubrey Plaza

With her recent performances in Emily the Criminal, Black Bear, and Ingrid Goes West, Plaza has established herself as one of the most interesting actresses working today.  She’s willing to take risks that other performers are not and, in a perfect world, she would have been rewarded with several nominations to her name.

2. Anna Kendrick

I guarantee that Anna Kendrick would give one of the best acceptance speeches ever.  Add to that, we already know that Anna Kendrick deserved to win for Pitch Perfect so, at this point, the Academy owes her an Oscar.  Get with it, Academy!

3. Thomasin McKenzie

Thomasin McKeznie deserved to be nominated for her poignant performance in Leave No Trace and she seems destined to win an Oscar someday, perhaps for one of her two upcoming films, Eileen and Perfect.  Because of her role in Leave No Trace, a lot of critics have compared McKenzie to Jennifer Lawrence.  Personally, I think she has more in common with Saoirse Ronan.  Like Ronan, McKenzie is one of those performers who seems to disappear into each role she plays and who brings a lot of conviction to each part, even when she’s appearing in something as silly as M. Night Shyamalan’s Old.  When you can give an award-worthy performance in something like Old, that means they’re going to have to give you an Oscar at some point.

4. Kirsten Dunst

Kirsten received her first Oscar nomination for Power of the Dog and, if the film had been a bit stronger, I imagine she probably would have won.  Hopefully, both she and Jesse Plemons will get a second chance to take home an Oscar.  It’s hard to think of another actress who plays depression with as much honesty as Kirsten Dunst.

5. Emily Blunt

Every year, I put Emily Blunt on this list.  I’m kind of amazed that she has yet to even be nominated, not even for Looper or A Quiet Place.  (Okay, neither one of those films were traditional Oscar films but she was brilliant in both of them.) She seems destined to be recognized eventually.  It’s just a question of when.

6. Lindsay Lohan

I hear you laughing but listen, everyone loves a good comeback story.  That’s especially true when it come to bloggers who spend all of their time trying to figure out a way to make the Oscars seem more exciting than they are.  Obviously, Lindsay’s not going to win an Oscar for appearing in a Netflix Christmas film but who knows?  Maybe someone will take a chance on her like the Safdies did when they cast Robert Pattison in Good Time and Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems.  Add to that, with Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried having been recently nominated, it’s time for the Academy to show some love to the rest of the cast of Mean Girls.  

6 Actors Who I Hope Will Win An Oscar In The Next Ten Years

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

We talk a lot about which performers and directors have been snubbed at Oscar time.

For movie lovers, that’s an important subject. We all know that great actors like Peter O’Toole, Cary Grant, Albert Finney, and far too many others all went to their graves with several nominations but not a single competitive Oscar to their name. Just a few years ago, Kirk Douglas died at the age of 103 without having ever won a competitive Oscar.  We always talk about how certain actors are overdue for their first Oscar but sometimes we forget that being overdue doesn’t always translate into an eventual win. Sometimes, it translates into people watching a movie on TCM and saying, “How did that person never win an Oscar in their lifetime?”

With that in mind, here are 6 actors who I sincerely hope will have won their first Oscar by the time that 2033 rolls around:

  1. Caleb Landry Jones

Caleb Landry Jones is one of the masters of playing the type of eccentric characters who can be both dangerous and yet oddly sympathetic.  (One always get the feeling that Jonses’s characters are haunted by demons that they simply cannot control.)  He’s like a Texas-version of Ben Foster.  This year, he deserved a nomination for his devastating work in Nitram.  Hopefully, he’ll get that first nomination and his first Oscar in the years to come.

2. Steve Carell

Steve Carell was nominated for Best Actor for playing against type in Foxcatcher.  I’m always a little bit surprised to be reminded that Foxcatcher is, to date, Carell’s only Oscar nomination.  Part of the problem for Carell is that he’s so well-known for being a comedic actor that it’s easy to forget that he can handle dramatic roles as well.  (The Academy still has a bias against comedy.)  Another part of the problem is that some of Carell’s best performances have been in films that were otherwise underwhelming, like Beautiful Boy.  Here’s hoping that Carell finally finds the right role and the Academy takes notice.  By most accounts, he is one of the nicest guys in the business and I’m sure his acceptance speech would bring us all to tears.

3. Jesse Plemons

The heir to Philip Seymour Hoffman received his first Oscar nomination for The Power of the Dog.  He didn’t win but at least the Academy acknowledged that Plemons is one of the best character actors around.  This year, he has a starring role in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon.  Though most of the early publicity has focused on Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, it’s said that Plemons is actually the film’s main character so it will be interesting to see if the Academy again takes notice.

4. Matt Damon

Matt Damon actually does have an Oscar, for co-writing Good Will Hunting.  Still, it seems odd that Damon has yet to pick up an Oscar for acting.  It seems even stranger that he’s only been nominated three times, for Good Will Hunting, Invictus, and The Martian.  (I will still always be amazed that Damon wasn’t even nominated for Steven Soderbergh’s last truly good film, The Informant.)   There’s strong buzz around Air, though the film’s April release might mean that it’ll be out of the awards conversation by the time the precursor season starts in December.

5. Paul Dano

Paul Dano’s another really good actor who has somehow never been nominated, not even for The Fabelmans!  That said, it’s hard not to believe that Dano will be honored more sooner than later.

6. Brendan Gleeson

Gleeson actually could be an Oscar winner by the end of tonight.  If not, I hope he gets another chance soon.  He’s one of the best character actors around and it’s somewhat amazing that his nomination for The Banshees of Inisherin, while being very deserved, was also the first of his career.

6 Directors Who I Hope Will Win An Oscar In The Next 10 Years

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

6. Todd Field

Todd Field has only directed three films over the past 23 years but all three of them have been outstanding.  In The Bedroom is a film that grows in power with each subsequent viewing.  Unfairly overlooked when it was originally released, Little Children is the film that movies like American Beauty and Revolutionary Road can only pretend to be.  And finally, TAR is a film that will probably still be remembered after most of the other best picture nominees have been forgotten.

Todd Field received an Oscar nomination for his work on TAR so, technically, he could be an Oscar winner by the end of tonight.  Realistically, though, it appears that The Daniels have got the award sewn up and Field will have to wait for another opportunity.  I just hope that it doesn’t take Field another 16 years to film a follow-up to TAR.

Here are 5 other directors who I hope win an Oscar over the next ten years!

5. Joseph Kosinski

This year, Kosinski deserved a nomination for his work on Top Gun: Maverick.  He didn’t receive one, largely because Top Gun Maverick was viewed as being more of a Tom Cruise movie than a Joseph Koskinski movie.  While Cruise undoubtedly played a huge role in Maverick’s production, I think it’s a mistake to overlook the fact that Kosinski did a great job directing the film, respectfully paying homage to the visual style of the first film while also adding his own little quirks.  With the wrong director, Maverick could have come across like a vanity project for an aging star.  Under Kosinski’s direction, it was a terrific crowd-pleaser and one of the best of the year.

4. Robert Eggers

Robert Eggers seems destined to someday win an Oscar.  The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman were all films that could have fallen apart with the wrong director at the helm.  Instead, Eggers was able to turn each one into a succes d’estime.  Eggers will undoubtedly get his chance to add Oscar winner to his resume, probably sooner than later.

3. Paul Schrader

The acceptance speech would be legendary.

2. Michael Bay

Ambulance was good!  I’m slowly coming around to Michael Bay.  Movies have become so self-important lately that it’s kind of hard not to appreciate Michael Bay’s refusal to treat them as being anything other than an excuse to blow stuff up and have a good time.  Plus, Michael Bay winning an Oscar would lead to an epic meltdown on the part of Film Twitter and who doesn’t want to witness that?

  1. Debra Granik

Granik is responsible for two of the best films of the last 15 years, Winter’s Bone and Leave No Trace.  Both of these films took a sympathetic look at life on the fringes of conventional society and both of them introduced an exciting new talent to viewers, Jennifer Lawrence in Winter’s Bone and Thomasin McKenzie in Leave No Trace.  Granik is one of those directors who tends to take her time between feature film projects but I still can’t wait to see what she does next!

Welcome to Oscar Sunday!

Happy Oscar Sunday!

Today is an unofficial holiday among the humans.  Today is the day that rich people give awards to other rich people and a few other people watch on TV, hoping that someone will slap someone else!

Have a wonderful Oscar Sunday and be sure to remember: awards don’t make a film great.  Greatness makes a film great!

Plus, how can you take any awards show seriously when there’s no category for Best Animal Performance?  This year’s winner?  Jenny the Donkey of The Banshees of Inisherin!

The Cat has spoken.

Enjoy the Oscars on ABC at 7 eastern/4 pacific!  And check back on the Shattered Lens for a whole day of Oscar-related stuff (and maybe some non-Oscar related stuff as well!)
