Schedule When the Oscar 2023 nominations are announced
It was
Cate Blanchett
who, with her elaborate indifference, found the key on January 15 at the American critics' awards ceremony.
"Patriarchal pyramid"
was the expression used by the actress when she collected her own to describe what is generically called "awards season" and that has achieved as collateral damage a new type of
small data
journalism that basically consists of crossing figures: they analyze the brands of the dresses worn on the red carpets, the money earned by
Variety magazine is counted
in advertisements, the nobility of the alloy of the statuettes obtained until the closing of the Oscar voting is compared... and, voilà, we have the most anticipated nominations of the year that will take place
next Tuesday the 24th, those of the Oscars.
In reality, everything is simpler.
Just as patriarchal -in Blanchett's terminology-, but simpler.
It is about following the trail of what has already been awarded or what has already been nominated.
Voting to determine the candidates took place between December 12 and 17.
That means that each union of the 17 specialties of the Hollywood Academy that chooses its candidates (the actors select the actors, the directors the directors... and so on. Except in the case of the Best Picture, which they vote all) began to check boxes with various references in view.
Y...
'All at once...', go for 10
The most obvious of signs is also the most publicized: the reborn
Golden Globes
awarded by the controversial Foreign Press Association, where a select group of 200 voters gather (this year 103 more were allowed to participate for clearing their consciences). .
Not far behind would be the critics and their
Critics Choice Awards (CCA).
And much more relevant -since there are statistics on how many from one side go to another- would be the lists by unions or unions that are already well visible.
Yes, indeed, all very patriarchal.
Thus, there are six films that appear on all the lists (in order of prevalence):
Everything at once everywhere,
by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Schneinert;
Banshees in Inisherin,
by Martin McDonagh;
The Fabelmans,
by Steven Spielberg;
Elvis
, by Baz Luhrmann;
Tár
, by Todd Field, and
Top Gun: Maverick,
by Joseph Kosinski.
Its directors are among the candidates chosen by the directors themselves (except Luhrmann) and the six are on the list of ten presented by the producers
(PGA)
.
A piece of information that the new predictive science likes so much: in the last ten years, 90.6% of the films selected by the PGA have finally been nominated for the Oscars.
To this we must add that all those mentioned were in the Globes that
Los Fabelmans
finally won , in drama, and
Almas en bane in Inisherin
, in comedy.
Add that and the CCAs were instead left with All at Once Everywhere, which, let's face it, seems the best placed to rack up nominations.
Another thing is if the oldest (or old) of the Academy, who are the ones who vote the most, have entered the crazy game of multiuniverses.
Let's say that it will be around 10 applications.
(Note: pay attention to
All Quiet Front,
by Edward Berger, which with its 14 mentions in the British BAFTAs is already the Netflix option).
Cate's 3rd
As far as actors are concerned, their thing is to start with what the actors themselves like (the
SAGs
).
The data tells us that in the last decade the percentage of coincidence with the Oscars oscillates between 73% and 83% in the four categories (actor, actress, secondary and secondary).
I mean, there's a lot.
In this case, and crossing the nominees with the names of the awards already delivered, they stand out in their case and always in order:
Colin Farrell,
for
Almas en pueblo...
after winning in Venice and at the Globes;
Brendan Fraser,
for
The Whale
, which has been a favorite of critics, and
Austin Butler,
for
Elvis
, which was the other winner of the Globes in the musical section.
Among actresses, it seems impossible to imagine anyone capable of taking away her third Oscar from the very matriarchal
Cate Blanchett
, whose work in
Tár
has already been the most appreciated by critics and by Globes and beyond.
In the candidacies he will be accompanied by
Michelle Yeoh
, for
Everything at the same time...
and we hope that
Ana de Armas,
for
Blonde
.
And... pay attention that the actors themselves have boycotted
Michelle Williams
for
Los Fabelmans.
Where there are doubts and everything is much more uncertain is among the secondary ones.
But the safe ones, given their success at the Globes, are
Ke Huy Quan,
for
All at once...
and
Angela Bassett,
for
Wakanda forever.
Another piece of information, what the minister would say: in the cast category, which is the most relevant of the SAGs
, Los Fabelmans, Almas...
and
Everything at the same time appear again...
Is that clear?
Tom vs. James
And what do we do with
Avatar: The Sense of Water
and with
Top Gun: Maverick
after their brutal box office successes?
The record of 14 nominations at the Visual Effects Society
(VES)
for the former pretty much says it all.
But, and since we're talking about nominations, let's not rule out that Cruise and Cameron will be honored with a shower of nominations.
Let's put 7 or 8 each.
Now it's time to climb the patriarchal pyramid.
