I didn't even notice that those two were relegated to supporting actor nominations! I mean, seriously, at the very least *one* of them is a lead actor, but really both. Plemons fits the "supporting" title in that movie to a T.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 15 March 2021 18:54 (three years ago) link
boseman is almost certainly gonna win best actor, and they were looking to avoid that buzzsaw.
if anything, they're co-leads, not co-supporting, but category fraud happens.

THE GODFATHER was the first movie franchise to have its first and second films both nominated for Best Screenplay. the second movie franchise? BORAT.— Russell (@RussellHFilm) March 15, 2021

ha!
Lakeith is obviously the lead. Kaluuya would be fine to class as co-lead or supporting.
― armoured van, Holden (sic), Monday, 15 March 2021 18:58 (three years ago) link
I can see that argument, but doesn't putting them both in the same category risk vote splitting that might harm both? But maybe this is why I'm not a highly compensated studio exec.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 15 March 2021 19:00 (three years ago) link
i'd say that they're the favorites in the supporting actor category, but raci could solidify support and win if there's vote-splitting.
i personally think stanfield was fine, but he's been much better in other things. kaluuya was a force of nature.
― caek or daeth (voodoo chili), Monday, 15 March 2021 19:02 (three years ago) link

I know they really want to give Boseman the best actor Oscar, and I'm OK with that but tbh his role could just as easily have been classified as supporting.
― a man often referred to in the news media as the Duke of Saxony (tipsy mothra), Monday, 15 March 2021 19:07 (three years ago) link
he's the main driver of the plot and the emotion, i'd say he's definitely a lead. also learned recently that his role was originally played on stage by charles s. dutton
― caek or daeth (voodoo chili), Monday, 15 March 2021 19:10 (three years ago) link
*idk why i wrote emotion when i meant "conflict" but whatever
I guess Stanfield was *submitted* by the studio as a lead, but the academy voted to nominate him as supporting?
So who makes these calls? The voting members of the acting branch, whose votes determine the nominees, regardless of studio campaigns or critics’ awards.According to academy rules, “A performance by an actor or actress in any role shall be eligible for nomination either for the leading role or supporting role categories ... The determination as to whether a role is a leading or supporting role shall be made individually by members of the branch at the time of balloting.”

Correct.
Just to be clear, WB did not campaign #JudasAndTheBlackMessiah as a leadless movie. Voters who believed that Stanfield was supporting were simply plentiful enough for him to make the category. #Oscars pic.twitter.com/zOKFyQkPqd— Myles McNutt (@Memles) March 15, 2021

good to know. would've been a bummer for stanfield to miss out due to people voting for him in different categories.

Also correct. I saw a breakdown of screen time, and Stanfield has just slightly more (like 49 minutes vs. 46 minutes), but he's also the audience surrogate, which makes him more of a lead.

I've no recollection of this
"Possibly the least showy moment on this list, but easily the most excruciating. The Vice hair and makeup team didn’t seem to know each other when they arrived onstage to collect their award. One of them started a speech, then stopped as his colleague unfurled her own speech. She ordered him to read it. He refused. She started reading it. A third winner, holding her own speech, haltingly joined in. They started to get played off, but ploughed on nonetheless. As they collectively fumbled to decode some handwriting on one of the now several speeches, the camera cut away. They kept going. The stage lights switched off."

Without looking at the list, curious if they included the Hearts and Minds acceptance speech in '75 or whenever. Will check the link.

Faulty memory. I looked at the clip, and not nearly as incendiary as my 45-year-old memory of it. I thought there was loud booing, like with Michael Moore. Not at all; the crowd sounds quite on their side. I think, later, there may have been someone speak disparagingly from the stage about Schneider--Bob Hope or John Wayne?--but I'm not sure.

I haven't really watched much of the show for years--maybe three minutes last night--but I guess I'm still somewhat interested in the results. I talked about the winners with a remote grade 5/6 class today and showed them a trailer for Nomadland. I really want to see the film--lots of beautiful shots in the trailer. Maybe picturesque colour photography is easy, but so is giving the cinematography award to Mank because it's in B&W--I don't recall taking any particular notice of the cinematography in that film.

i was off ilxor all day today but just wanted to say this is super sharp and accurate analysis of what i posted. you've really acquitted yourself well here and in subsequent posts, bobo.
as a casual Oscar watcher (i see almost no movies and don't care who wins, etc.) this show was a major drag. missed the jokes, song performances and *especially* the movie clips badly.I do NOT watch movies and have no interest in them. I am INFURIATED that I have not seen ten 19-second excerpts of some movies from last year, and have no way of doing so.way too much talking. terribly solemn and boring.It absolutely sucks that this year's ceremony did not involve ramming thousands of people shoulder-to-shoulder, having strangers hug each other, and making people sing directly into each other's faces. I have not watched and TV or read any news since last year's Oscars.― bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Sunday, April 25, 2021 11:33 PM (yesterday)

j/k, actually you are a total disaster and should log the fuck off and come back when you learn to read
to eephus!: i watch the Oscars (often out of one eye while working on a laptop) because they're a big event, you get to see celebrities making jokes and wearing pretty dresses, and it allows me to catch up just the right amount on a year's worth of movies i didn't see. if i laugh a few times and come away with a movie or two i think i'd like to see, then i consider it a success.
that show last night was honestly one of the worst couple of hours of TV i've seen in a long time. i do understand it's a tricky situation with regard to holding large events and the fact that people couldn't see movies in theaters for the past year.
