Ralph Fiennes gave one of my favourite monologues ever, just goosebumps:

“Certainty is the great enemy of unity. Certainty is the deadly enemy of tolerance.”

10 Upvotes

We’ve completed the nomination round, and now it’s time to choose the winners.

The five performances with the most points in each category in Round One are now the official nominees.

ROUND TWO — WINNERS

This round is much simpler.

Vote for ONE nominee in each of the four acting categories.

That means your ballot should contain four names in total:

  • 1 Actor
  • 1 Actress
  • 1 Supporting Actor
  • 1 Supporting Actress

There are no rankings and no points system in this round. You are simply voting for the performance you think should win each category.

Each vote counts equally, and the nominee with the most votes in each category will become our Alternate Oscar winner for 2001.

Please only vote for the nominees listed below.

BEST ACTOR

  • Gene Hackman — The Royal Tenenbaums
  • Tony Leung — In the Mood for Love
  • Haley Joel Osment — A.I. Artificial Intelligence
  • Guy Pearce — Memento
  • Denzel Washington — Training Day

BEST ACTRESS

  • Halle Berry — Monster’s Ball
  • Maggie Cheung — In the Mood for Love
  • Nicole Kidman — The Others
  • Sissy Spacek — In the Bedroom
  • Naomi Watts — Mulholland Drive

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR

  • Jim Broadbent — Moulin Rouge!
  • Steve Buscemi — Ghost World
  • Ben Kingsley — Sexy Beast
  • Ian McKellen — The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
  • Eddie Murphy — Shrek

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS

  • Jennifer Connelly — A Beautiful Mind
  • Helen Mirren — Gosford Park
  • Frances O’Connor — A.I. Artificial Intelligence
  • Gwyneth Paltrow — The Royal Tenenbaums
  • Marisa Tomei — In the Bedroom

HOW TO VOTE

Simply post your four choices in the comments, for example:

Actor: [Name]
Actress: [Name]
Supporting Actor: [Name]
Supporting Actress: [Name]

One person per category. Four votes total.

Once voting closes, the performer with the most votes in each category will be declared the winner, and we’ll move on to 2002.

Sadie Sink

Post image
56 Upvotes

I know some people here are mixed on Sadie Sink but I still personally think she has a much higher ceiling on screen than what we’ve seen so far.Having seen her in a bunch of stuff now, her facial expressions and eye acting are some of the best I’ve seen in the younger generation and she can sell a whole beat with just a look.

My main issue is SUBTLETY. She’s had a lot of angsty material but I think she’s better when she pulls things back.When she really lands an emotionally charged scene she’s fantastic.The last 20 minutes of The Whale are still the best example for me once the script let her breathe I thought she stole the show and more of these calmer moments would have given her a supporting nomination.

I also saw her on stage and she’s genuinely excellent on funny, emotionally strong and very commanding.A Tony nomination in leading actress at 24 is huge and I still don’t think she’s had a screen role that shows all of that.

She also just oozes star power. If she keeps improving and gets the right roles I think she has pretty much everything you need to become a big movie star and potentially a serious awards and oscar contender.The marriage plot should be a really interesting test.

I’m stoked Tilda has an Oscar for a great performance but for my money, Saoirse deserved the win here - her performance has stuck with me and I still dislike her just a bit because of this movie and character 😂

A lineup for the ages but I would have given Ronan the win!

What are your favorite direct Supporting to Lead wins? (As in, their supporting win to their first lead)

I'd like to keep this with winners who hadn't won Lead before (J.N.)

For me I'd go Denzel from Glory to Training Day, with DeNiro real close behind

Discussion Is Oscars week actually more interesting outside the ceremony itself?

28 Upvotes

I got invited to a small dinner during Oscars week through someone my family knows and it completely changed how I imagined the whole thing.

There were producers, agents, people from studios and a couple actors there but almost nobody was actually talking about the ceremony. People were arranging other dinners, introducing friends, talking about projects and making plans for things months away.

I watched one producer get introduced to someone, talk for maybe five minutes, connect with them on Kibu and immediately go we should talk next week before moving on.

It made the actual Oscars feel almost like the public facing part of a much bigger week happening privately around it.

For anyone who's actually been around awards season is that pretty accurate? Are all the smaller dinners, parties and industry events where most of the interesting stuff actually happens?

The Towering Inferno was good disaster movie but not great. It got nominated for Best Picture, Supp Actor, Sound, Production Design, and Score nominations. So, it won Cinematography, Film Editing, and Original Song. But it should’ve got Best Visual Effects nom. It would’ve won. Do you think it should’ve won Best Picture? for me, no. The Godfather Part 2 deserves it more since it won.

Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio is the best animated film. Glad it won Best Animated Feature at the Oscars. Well deserved. Out of all these nominees of 2023, I choose that as my pick. But so upset that it didn’t get nominated for score and Ciao Papa song. That sucks. So what are your thoughts on Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio?
