Oscar Predictions:
Best Picture: ❌
Though I’m glad that Netflix is producing Oscar nominated movies (the accessibly is awesome) I do not think A Marriage Story is at the same level it competitors in this category. The film was emotional, frustrating and occasionally funny but I found it very hard to relate with, even as a parent. I can see how it was nominated as it is very relatable to members of the academy (Seriously, it’s about an actor and a director getting a divorce in L.A.). I don’t believe it will win in this category since the other film are just better…
Best Actor in a Leading Role: Adam Driver ❌
Adam Driver’s character Charlie reeks of desperation in this film, his life is falling apart in front of him and you feel for him. Was it strong enough to earn the Oscar? Well as his life falling apart didn’t lead him to become one of the most iconic villains of all time, I would say I don’t think so.
Best Female Actor in a Leading Role: Scarlett Johansson ❌
During a scene in this film Scarlett Johansson’s character Nicole says a monologue that sets the theme for the entire film and establishes her point of view, it is chilling. Even though the acting from Johansson is very strong it was always a little on the noise for her and acting as a successful actor isn’t a big stretch for a successful actor.
Best Female Actor in a Supporting Role: Laura Dern ✅
This years Oscars nominee’s include 2 of the biggest villains in history, The Joker and a L.A. Divorce Lawyer. 😱This being said Laura Dern has been killing it in the Award’s circuit this year nabbing a Golden Globe, Critic’s Choice Award and Screen Actors Guild Award for the role.
