The “Conclave” star, “Emilia Pérez” lost her voice

This “brutally honestly Oscar’s leaf”, first in a row that Thr He will run in front of Oscar Night, reflects votes and sincere residents for them-Muško, a member of the Academy of Film Arts and Sciences on Short Film Branches for 202 people, as announced Thr In turn for anonymity. Thr It does not necessarily support these views or suggest that they are representative for anything but the perspective of this voter.

The best picture

I liked it Emilia Pérez When I watched him, but even before all the shit that happened (which includes the main actress Karl Sofía Gascón), there was no in the first 10. I’d rather see his video go to it Singwhich was underestimated; or Juror #2which I really liked; or Wild robot or There is no other countryBut you know that most of the academy treats animated and documentaries – no respect. I love musicals and Evil was tight. I’m still here It was great and, as we will come, my choice is for an international feature. I really liked the performances in Completely unknown – The fact that Timmy (Chalamet) and Monica (Barbaro) really sang and played the guitar was amazing. Aor It was great – the story and the performances were really fun, Sean (Baker) directed shit from him – but the others did more for me. Substance It was what I love in the cinema in the best order. It’s so bold – a story, a sound design, makeup. They gave the audience experience. And so it is rare that the Academy recognizes the horror film, but the fact that this one is about what it is to be a woman in Hollywood, has probably helped more people to connect with him. I loved first Dune. Dunes: the second part He had some weaker elements of the story – he (Denis Villeneuve) cares so much more about visual content than storytelling, and you can notice that in this one more than the first – and I didn’t think Zendaya was so great in him. But the cinema of his spectacle was so monumental that I still blew up. Guys nickel is so brave – I would read the book and let me tell you, that is not Easy to adapt, but the way Ramell Ross did, with the first person’s perspective, he was completely right. But for me the last two films were incredibly difficult to decide between. Entry into BrutalistI never heard of Brady Corbet and was afraid of time (three and a half hours), but the way people who saw him at the festivals talked about it convinced me to go on screening really early in the season, and I really appreciated the end Why did he do it the way he did it. It’s just an amazing movie – nicely shot, amazing shows and such a powerful story. But Conclave He was so interesting and exciting in a completely different way – and fun, with a little mystery. I thought the end was great – he didn’t try to highlight the point, it was just the perfect discovery. Edward Berger is an amazing director.

Best Director

I judge this category as an Olympic sport: the degree of difficulty, plus execution – did you glue landing? I think this category should be expanded to at least eight. Edward Berger, Ramell Ross and Denis Villeneuve were to be nominated. How many other directors could have done what they did? And why is it (Completely unknown) James Mangold here but they aren’t? He is a really good director – he told the story well – but it was nothing special in the way he directed the movie. Want to tell me that directing Timmy Chalamet in New York was harder than directing the EPA in the desert? Come on. I was torn between Brady and (Substance) Coralie Fargeat, and I ended up with Coralie. If he wasn’t there, I would choose Brady, because the fact that his movie looked so good with only $ 10 million amazing. But I was just thinking about the historical absence (only three women have ever won an Oscar of this category) and a high degree of execution – she scored it with that movie.

VOTING: Coralie Fargeat, Substance

Best actor

It was hard for me to do this. Timmy was probably the easiest thing for me. Ralph (Fiennes of Conclave), (Brutalist‘Adrien) Brody and Colman’s (Domingo of Sing) The performances were so good. I have to hear a lot from Sing The guys, and they really liked them, and I think what Colman did for that movie, on the screen and outside the screen, is only extraordinary.

VOTING: Colman Domingo, Sing

Best actress

I thought very strongly about the vote for Charles, but when her tweets began to go out, I was full – I said, “I can’t believe this The person said they things. “And it was getting worse every day. It quickly became obvious:” I don’t vote for that person. No way. “After that, there was between Mikey (Madison of Aor) and Demi (Moore of Substance). They are both at the heart of their films, and I loved both of their films. I do not oppose voting for new, younger people, when they are amazing. But Demi has been a long time and has absolutely collapsed.

VOTING: Demi Moore, Substance

Best supporting actor

I thought it was crazy that the guy was from Aor (Yura Borisov) was nominated on the other two (Mark Eydelshteyn and Karren Karagulian). I seriously considered (Trainee) Jeremy strong and (Brutalist) Guy Pearce, but at the end of the day I just loved Kieran (Culkin) in Real pain.

VOTING: Kieran Culkin, Real pain

Best side actress

I have never been so tall to Zoe (Saldaña of Emilia Pérez) such as everyone else. I definitely considered (ConclaveIsabella) rossellini. But I was just so impressed with Monika in Completely unknown. The only other thing i ever saw her was Upper gun (Maverick), and this was like another person.

VOTING: Monica Barbaro, Completely unknown

Best custom scenario

I was open to any of them except Emilia Pérez. The more I thought about it, the more I was torn between Conclave,, Guys nickel and Sing.

VOTING: Sing

Best original scenario

Aor and Real pain are really good scripts but scripts do not become more original than Substance.

VOTING: Substance

The best animated feature

I was absolutely sure I would vote for Inside 2 “Until I saw Wild robot. Wild robotThe story, humor, emotion and the result are just so strong.

VOTING: Wild robot

The best feature of documentary film

I did not blow up Sugar cane. I was torn between Black box logs and There is no other country. I finished voting for There is no other country Because she moved me so much. I was not aware of what was happening there (on the west coast), and it is simply so objectively awful.

VOTING: There is no other country

The best international feature

I would probably vote for Emilia Pérez That all that did not fail. After that, there was between I’m still here and Holy fig seedsand I just liked it I’m still here A little more.

VOTING: I’m still hereBrazil

Best cinema

You could take so many photos from Brutalist and frame them. But I went with Dunes: the second part Because Brady shot miniatures, but what Denis and Greig (Fraser) did was at a completely different level and looked absolutely beautiful.

VOTING: Dunes: the second part

Best costume design

It was between Evil and Conclave for me. I went with Conclave Since I heard Edward Berger talking about the way they chose dresses and changed certain colors, which looked really cool. That was said, I wish I realized at the time that Paul Tazewell did it Evilbecause Paul is a legend.

VOTING: Conclave

Best editing of the movie

There are some really interesting strings in Aorlike an invasion of a house in the middle but I voted for Brutalist. Some people are like: “Film needs for three and a half hours more Editing, “but I considered it two films separated by the break and I felt that there was no fat on the bone.

VOTING: Brutalist

The best makeup and hairstyles

It wasn’t close to me: Substance. The way that makeup and prosthetics are making progress as Demi quickly old, to the end of the scene is just so good.

VOTING: Substance

Best original result

I write to points, so many times I have heard all this year’s nominated, and everyone is really good. But (Wild robotKris Bowers deserves it this year. He deserved it for several years.

VOTING: Wild robot

The best original song

I don’t think the song selection this year were so great. I was lukewarm on Emilia Pérez Songs (“El Mal” and “Mi Camino”) even before Karl Shit; After, I said, “I don’t want to assign this movie.” So for me it was between (“like a bird” from) Sing and Elton (John: Never too late“Never too late”). I voted for Sing Because, in the context of the movie, I thought the song was acting and I wanted to show the movie some love. Song from Six triple eight (“Travel”) actually did nothing for me, but since then I have learned that it is Diane Warren’s song (the names of songwriters of nominated songs do not appear on the ballot); If I knew that, it would probably affect my voice, which is probably what they are trying to avoid. (laughter)

VOTING: “Like a bird” from Sing

Best production design

I went with Conclave. They basically rewind the Vatican, which is fucking crazy. If you didn’t know better, you would have thought they were shooting there. They knocked him down.

VOTING: Conclave

The best sound

Each nominated so different, but I went with Dunes: the second part Because I think it is necessary to make an audio design for the EP such EP just much harder than for the musical (the rest nominated all mostly focused on music).

VOTING: Dunes: the second part

The best visual effects

Dunes: the second part. Was not close.

VOTING: Dunes: the second part

Best animated short

A few of them were very good but I voted for Yuck! Because it was really wonderful.

VOTING: Yuck!

The best documentary

I loved Incident and I’m ready, a manager. I chose Incident Because this is fully said with recordings of surveillance and bodywork, and yet it is a complete narrative. Not narrates you anything; That’s displaying You also allow you to reach your own conclusion.

VOTING: Incident

Best short -lived action

I liked a lot of them but especially I’m not a robot and Last X -ray. I went with Last X -ray Because it was really well recorded, and I was trying to figure out how they did it.

VOTING: Last X -ray
