Zoë’s 2023 Academy Awards Predictions – November 4th

Happy Friday, folks! Though there’s little major news in the Oscar world this week (aside from AFI Fest running this weekend, which I’ll be recapping in depth on Monday), I did have the opportunity to catch two major Oscar contenders in the past few days – Maria Schrader’s She Said and Alejandro González Iñárritu’s BARDO – both of which I’d like to analyze from an awards perspective in today’s piece, so while it might be a little lighter than usual, there’s still more than enough to discuss when assessing how these two hotly anticipated titles will play with The Academy. Let’s take a look.

She Said – as most are already aware – is the film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, the two New York Times journalists who exposed Harvey Weinstein’s history of abuse and sexual misconduct against women, with the book chronicling their investigative efforts. Still, in spite of this story’s enduring relevance, ahead of its release, some have been up in arms about the film. Was it too soon to truly get a sense of their piece’s impact on the world and women’s social perils, given how much work still needs to be done? Hadn’t we already heard every angle on this issue imaginable after five years’ worth of analysis and think pieces? And would a “studio movie” about this subject matter be too “sanitized”? Personally, I was enormously emotionally affected by the film, and found that those at my FYC screening here in LA – including a number of awards voters – responded rapturously as well. Despite the somber story being shared here, She Said is ultimately an uplifting (and dare I even say “crowdpleasing”?) affair that elicits continual audience reactions in the form of gasps, applause, and even laughs (Carey Mulligan’s commanding performance is perhaps the most cheer-and-chuckle-worthy). Some on the Film Twitter sphere may say the film is overly self-congratulatory or “‘not artsy enough,” but this is The Academy we’re talking about – they love congratulating themselves and don’t always trend towards the artier titles (plus, I would say the film is actually more “congratulatory” towards the journalists and brave women who broke this story, as opposed to the industry).

In a field of ten, I can absolutely see this cracking the Best Picture line-up (it’ll benefit from being a “message movie” that compels one to include it on their ballot for “what it represents” – on top of being a sturdy, well-told story), but what other nominations can it nab? Well, I’d say Best Adapted Screenplay is the next likeliest – it’s a weak field this year, and this is a supremely well-structured script with numerous notable lines and big emotional beats – and I also agree with many others that Carey Mulligan will be a top contender for the Best Supporting Actress award, category fraud be damned. Last week, I went out on a limb to make a case for Kerry Condon as this year’s champion, citing her immense acclaim and that category’s trend towards winners who represented their films’ only rewards since 2014. However, I think that could also be the case for Mulligan, and she also has a few other factors in her favor. For one, in a chaotic year with no clear frontrunner, Mulligan’s performance will be one of the biggest of the bunch, in terms of her showiness (she steals almost every scene she’s in, you miss her when she’s gone, and she gets the most memorable moments) and yes, her screen time (she’s really a co-lead, which means she has even more material to campaign with). She’s also perhaps the biggest name in contention (and a lack of name recognition was always one of Condon’s weaknesses), and she came incredibly close to a win two years ago for Promising Young Woman, meaning that there could be some residual goodwill for her and she may be seen as overdue by several voting contingents in The Academy.

However, even after seeing (and admittedly loving) She Said and Mulligan’s plucky performance, I don’t think she’s a slam dunk for a win either – at least, not yet. Everything I said about Condon’s strengths last week still stands, and given that Jessie Buckley is widely seen as the de facto frontrunner right now – and will likely be a critical darling – she’s in it to win it too. She may run into competition from within her film from Claire Foy (and will voters be as in love with Women Talking as critics?), but many also seem to feel that Buckley has the fuller, and more affecting, character arc, which could help her inch away from Foy as the weeks go by, allowing these two to break free from the The Fighter/The Favourite comparisons. I’ve been told by many to not underestimate The Whale’s Hong Chau either (I will see the film later this month), but while I believe everything I’ve heard/read about how poignant her performance is, I feel that The Whale’s win narrative is primarily centered around Brendan Fraser at the moment, and since I already have him, Michelle Yeoh, and Ke Huy Quan as my other three acting frontrunners, I hesitate to say that A24 will sweep all four races at the moment – but never say never, as Chau sure is having a YEAR between this, The Menu, and Kelly Reichardt’s Showing Up, which played at both the Cannes Film Festival and New York Film Festival, even though it’ll release in 2023. So, expect a lot of shuffling in Best Supporting Actress this entire season, but for now, I might stick with Carey Mulligan as a “soft” frontrunner – pending She Said’s awards performance overall – and continue to re-evaluate as new developments arise.

BARDO is the other “big” contender I caught this week, a film that tanked at the fall film festivals after being labeled as “pretentious” and “impenetrable,” but is now screening at AFI Fest with a re-edited cut, which runs closer to two and a half hours as opposed to three. It’s no secret that Iñárritu is a divisive figure in the film community – Birdman and The Revenant are real “love-it-or-hate-it” movies, and I even happen to love the latter while finding the former to be a bit too bombastic – so right off the bat, it’s clear that BARDO isn’t going to be for everyone. And yes, despite being a staggering audiovisual spectacle from start-to-finish, its surreal storytelling can at times become a bit exhausting. Still, the central theme about being lost between countries is quite compelling – especially due to the cultural specificity Iñárritu suffuses throughout the film – the cinematography captivates, and Daniel Giménez Cacho is a dynamic and dutifully committed lead. I will continue to keep it in my Best International Feature Film predictions (though not contending for the win) and right outside my Best Cinematography line-up (let’s see what ASC says), and I do also believe Iñárritu can’t be counted out for a fourth Best Director nod as well. This is a two-time winner we’re talking about – whose work is clearly still held in high regard by most of the “artier” members of this branch, as Oscar winners Barry Jenkins and Chloé Zhao can attest – and the work is simply stupendous and supremely showy. Pundits always talk about how there’s been a spot reserved for an international nominee in the Best Director line-up in recent years (Alfonso Cuarón, Paweł Pawlikowski, Bong Joon-ho, Thomas Vinterberg, Ryusuke Hamaguchi, etc.) and while we’ve thrown a number of names around this season that fit that bill (Park Chan-wook, Ruben Östlund, etc.), don’t sleep on Iñárritu.

Other odds and ends this week include

• In a recent Hollywood Reporter interview, Babylon star Eric Roberts stated that his co-star Margot Robbie will “win an Academy Award” for her performance, and that “she gives the most incredible performance that [he’s] ever seen.” Take it with a grain of salt, as he’s obviously involved in the same project she is, but this corroborates what we’ve been hearing all year long, especially after Babylon held a test screening in the spring that received rapturous acclaim. If you recall, I had Robbie listed as my Best Actress frontrunner at the start of the season – and later as a Best Supporting Actress frontrunner, when rumors were abounding about the Babylon cast’s category placements behind-the-scenes – but as the season has taken shape, I do wonder if there are too many other compelling contenders she’ll have to catapult over in order to win as a “late-breaker,” and she might lack a “narrative” to put her over the edge. There’s Cate Blanchett giving what is widely seen as her best performance to date – and maybe even the best performance of the year, period – and then there’s Michelle Yeoh starring in a Best Picture frontrunner and receiving career tributes left and right. At this point, in the Best Actress race, Robbie feels more in line with Michelle Williams to me. An unrewarded and beloved actress giving a great performance in a film that will likely earn an enormous amount of nominations, but one who finds that their campaign can’t solely rely on said “great performance” alone to give them the win.
• The theatrical trailer for Avatar: The Way of Water dropped this week, and it looks every bit as vibrant and visually stunning as we’ve come to expect from James Cameron. I’ve had the film in my Best Picture predictions all season long (and racking up several tech nominations), but I do think the potential is there for it to pop even more. I’ve added it to my Best Film Editing and Best Original Score line-ups this week – on top of Best Picture, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, Best Sound, and Best Visual Effects – and I do see the case for a second Best Director nod for Cameron too, though I wonder if that notoriously finicky branch will feel like he’s not doing enough “new” here. I also hold steadfast in my prediction that The Way of Water will not only handily win Best Visual Effects, but also Best Cinematography as well – if looking at the landscapes in the trailer wasn’t enough of an indication of its awards potential in that category, The Oscar Expert cited a convincing stat this week about how “since Avatar, every VFX winner that was nominated for picture also won cinematography (7 times since 2009),” so if you have this in your field of ten in BP, watch out.
