You just said “uber,” “cringy [sic]” and “hard pass” in the same sentence. You get to pass judgment on exactly nothing and no one.

I think this list sucks. And I thought Wicked was way too long and felt too long. A complete unknown was okay but nothing happened. I do think Timmy is a good actor though!
You could not be more low-brow if you tried.
Emilia Pérez is high brow? Ha sure.

I agree, posted on another thread Jean-Baptiste was my #1 but now Torres is.
Torres and Moore are pretty much a tie for me. Love both performances, for different reasons.
The Torres blackface controversy is pretty bad. There are two different rumors about camps dropping opp research (including the Demi Moore kissing one before the Globes) on the competition: one claims Netflix is behind it, one claims Erivo's camp is behind it. I think either could be true, but Erivo seems more likely if we're talking about Best Actress. Gascon isn't seen as a likely winner, but Torres and Moore sure are. If their reputations are dented, helps Erivo and Madison the most. Madison is so young, and wisely has no socials, so there's probably no dirt to be had on her.
In Brazil, it's generally understood that the attacks on Torres are coming from supporters of Gascon. It happened long ago, and mores about blackface in Brazil were not the same as they were in the USA at the time.
I found Emilia Perez to be unwatchable. I liked Zoe Saldano's commitment to her role, but the movie is just indulgent crap that most Mexicans find deeply offensive.
Moore and Torres should remain the front-runners if the award has anything to do with a performance.
Now Gascon has come out saying Torres's camp is behind attacks on her / EP. After that, Gascon's islamophobic tweets were dredged up. It's getting very ugly.
I think they're both out of the running now.

The only reason she still gets roles though, is about how she looks. You have to look as young as possible for as long as possible in Hollywood, that's just a given.
Maggie Smith worked consistently until her passing.
Judi Dench works. Helen Mirren. Emma Thompson. Jane Fonda. Glenn Close. Meryl Streep. Candace Bergen. Angela Bassett. Michelle Yeoh. Sarah Jessica Parker. Viola Davis. Imelda Staunton. Olivia Coleman. Helena Bonham Carter. All in their 50s/60s/70s+. We could keep going. These ladies I mentioned have not had as much work as Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Kidman, Salma Hayek, etc., all 50s as well—yes, there’s a must-look-good cohort, but you can’t tell me that there isn’t room for actresses who look very much their age.

I'll watch other films with Zoe, but Gascon is just not interesting on the screen. She's a one-trick pony.
