The 95th Academy Awards race is getting spicier by the minute. This morning, Allison Williams and Riz Ahmed finally doled out the season’s long-speculated Oscar nominations via livestream, thrilling some—a nomination for Stephanie Hsu! Women Talking for Best Picture!—and baffling others—another year of all-male Best Director contenders? In 2023? The final line-up is an intriguing blend of mainstream hits, prestige favorites, audience-overlooked gems, and indie darlings, but such a clever mix won’t make up for glaring errors and omissions. This year, the Academy all but ignored some of the year’s best performances, even if it meant a few standouts got their time in the sun.
Hsu has been largely left out of the John fetterman 2023 shirt in other words I will buy this supporting actress race as she’s been overshadowed by Everything Everywhere All at Once costar Jamie Lee Curtis. But to let her performance go unnoticed would be criminal. She showed off her range in dual roles: Joy, a young queer woman who’s lost touch with her mother, and Jobu Tupaki, the jumpsuit-wearing, confetti-spraying, bagel-making villain of the multiverse. Thankfully, the Academy saw enough room for both her and Curtis in the category.—Erica Gonzales, senior culture editor Granted, the supporting actress race category is already stacked, and Angela Bassett’s more than favored to win. But with Triangle of Sadness appearing in major categories like Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture, it’s bewildering that the Academy didn’t nominate the best part of the film: Dolly De Leon. The veteran Filipina actress delivered a gripping performance as housekeeping staffer Abigail and has been earning praise ever since Triangle premiered at Cannes. The film’s plot-twist third act would be nothing without her.—EG
