“All the pieces” won every little thing.
Two major Oscar events took place in Hollywood this weekend – the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Producers Guild Awards.
All the pieces In every single place All At Once, the twisted and moving studio flick that was a giant blockbuster last summer, won top prizes in each categories, almost guaranteed to take home the Oscar for Best Picture on March 12 on the Dolby Theater.
The rush to what was its closest rivals – ‘The Fabelmans’, ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ and, to a lesser extent, ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ – is dead. None of those movies result in victory. “All the pieces all over the place” was and can proceed to be an unstoppable behemoth.
Nonetheless, the acting races are heating up.
Without delay, there’s just one selection: Ke Huy Quan will win Best Supporting Actor for “All the pieces In every single place,” winning the identical category on the Golden Globes and SAG.
But the very best actress, actor and supporting actress are tighter than the brow of a star after Botox treatment.
The acting matchup is Cate Blanchett for her titanic transformation in “Tár” versus Michelle Yeoh because the ass-kicking and emotionally shaken Evelyn in “All the pieces In every single place.” Yeoh and Blanchett won the Globes for Comedy and Drama, respectively. But since then, Blanchett has been on a roll, beating Yeoh on the UK’s BAFTA and Critics Alternative Awards. That is, until Sunday night, when Yeoh triumphed on the SAG Awards, announcing to the world, “St! kk!”
Blanchett’s important selling point, now that we all know All the pieces In every single place is going to win Best Picture, is that voters are still very keen on writer-director Todd Field’s psychological thriller Tár. Along with the actress, he is nominated for picture, direction, screenplay, editing and cinematography. The best and most sensible method to show him some love shall be to spread the love and take a look at Blanchett’s box.
Nonetheless, Blanchett had won three gold dudes before. This is the primary Oscar nod to the beloved Yeoh in a profession spanning greater than three many years. The category is tied.
Meanwhile, Brendan Fraser within the Best Actor category – the leader because the debut of “The Whale” in Venice – was in crisis. He lost the Globe to Butler, who received widespread approval for his portrayal of the King in Elvis. While it triumphed on the Critics Alternative Awards, it wasn’t even nominated for a BAFTA award, which was won by Butler, the one American within the category. This is necessary because a big proportion of Oscar voters are foreigners. However it was Fraser, not Butler, who was called to the scene in SAGs.
Still, I give the sting to Butler, who leads a much less controversial film (“The Whale,” then again, divided the industry) and charms voters at events all over the world. One enchanted bystander on the Elvis show in London told me that Butler “talked brilliantly for over an hour and was impressive.” Others echoed their praise within the States.
Perhaps the most important surprise of the SAG Awards was Jamie Lee Curtis’ win for her cruel and weird tax collector character in All the pieces In every single place. By this point, Curtis had lost the Globe, Critics Alternative, and most other major trophies to Angela Bassett for “Black Panther: Wakanda Ceaselessly.” No matter Sunday night, Bassett will likely win her first Oscar for her portrayal of Queen Ramonda within the MCU.
Voting for the 2023 Oscars begins on Tuesday.
