I adore Colman in Zola, and I hope he takes your gold, but I'll admit I don't get the love for Troy Kotsur. I think it's cool that he's sailing to qn Oscar nod, but I just don't really get it.
Yay for the Film Bitch awards!
I’ve yet to see CODA but the rest of that supporting actor lineup is stellar. I’m curious if you struggled determining whether to place Kodi in leading or supporting. I consider him a lead along with Dunst, but I think they’re borderline cases.
So happy to see you recognize Isaacs. The other film that always comes to mind when I think of him is Nine Lives, where his scene with Robin Wright is an absolute knock out. I hope his moving performance in Mass means we get to see more top tier work from him.
bvrs90 -- the way i see it Cumberbatch is the only through-line lead of POWER while the other characters kind of come and go and take turns playing off of him. Jesse is in and out throughout htthe picture. Kirsten gets a lot to do in the middle of the picture (and is closest to a co-lead) and Kodi gets the last act. But i could see an argument that the picture has three leads. I just wouldn't make that argument, myself,
euro -- he was doing franchise stuff for so long it's nice to see him get something so emotionally meaty. i had no idea how strong of an actor he was.
I really LOVE these every year! I can't wait to see the rest! Thanks Nathaniel!
Great line-ups. Glad to see my winners, Faist and Cumberbatch (Garfield is a close second!), nominated. Also glad for the hint that my Best Actress winner, Chastain, may be nominated!
Regarding Kotsur, he was the best part of CODA for me, hands down. I'm a bit surprised the movie has gone as far as it has, but he provides the film's emotional through-points.
I think you are the first person to have Andre Holland in a list for Supporting Actor for me the unsung hero of Passing.
