Six talking points from the 2023 Oscar nominations

3 days ago Screen Daily

The Academy showed a lot of love for Ruben Ostlund’s Triangle Of Sadness which managed to scoop up three nominations in key categories best original screenplay, best director and best picture. Women silencedThank goodness for the best actress and supporting actress categories because 2023 is not an advert for the introduction of gender-neutral acting awards at the Oscars. Leading the way was Malaysia’s Michelle Yeoh, who became the first Asian-identifying woman to earn a nomination for best actress. (A jury also plays a role in determining the doc Bafta nominations.) In animated feature, all four of the Bafta nominees likewise earned an Oscar nomination – and Ampas added a fifth, with The Sea Beast also included.

Bafta chair Krishnendu Majumdar reflects on final year in role, “progress” of 2023 film nominations

Bafta chair Krishnendu Majumdar is bidding farewell to his post after three years in the role with a sense of accomplishment at the breadth of films to make the 2023 nominations list. All Quiet On The Western Front, the German-language Netflix film directed by Edward Berger, has received the most nominations, at 14. “Look at the range and breadth in best film,” says Majumdar, who will be succeeded by deputy chair and leading talent agent Sara Putt. Zero female directors are nominated for best film, a category with no interventions, and only Charlotte Wells making the initial longlist of 10 for Aftersun. “We don’t have a female director of best film nominated, but we have 11 female-named nominee directors across all of our categories, which I think is great,” says Higgs.

Comment: Bafta Film Awards nominations shake up the Oscar race

Will 2023 be the year that the Bafta Film Awards definitively pull in a different direction from the US Academy Awards – taking on a more distinctive identity? This feels like an exciting moment for the Bafta Film Awards, often perceived – rightly or wrongly – as too similar to the Oscars, and too dominated by US films. But, certainly in the UK, there are loud voices encouraging the Bafta Film Awards to establish a stronger individual identity, stepping away from the long shadow of their glamorous American cousin. In 2001, Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was the most-nominated title at the Bafta Film Awards – tied with Gladiator. Despite those interesting differences, when it came to picking winners, determined by all Bafta Film Awards voters, there turned out to be huge overlap with the US Academy members’ choices.

‘You Hurt My Feelings’: Sundance Review

She’s also close to her interior designer sister Sarah (Michaela Watkins) and Sarah’s actor husband Mark (Arian Moayed). Despite their general air of amiability, every character is facing the potential for some low-level failure - Don keeps muddling his clients’ backstories. Sarah’s also facing woes over finding the perfect light fitting, while work trouble beckons for Mark. The potential fallout gives Holofcener’s drama some thrust, although there’s never a sense that anyone’s relationship is seriously under strain. You Hurt My Feelings has an almost constant supply of quotable zingers like this, which lend energy to every scene.
