i'm really shocked lily didn't get nominated. i have a feeling that the lack of screentime is hurting her. if she was placed in supporting i think she'd be sweeping.

the good: SO happy for teo yoo! he was by far the best part of the film. i know greta has been campaigning a lot but i honestly didn't care for her performance. teo yoo was great though.
also happy for sandra's double nom, i hope she snatches that trophy from emma's hands lmao.
happy for dominic too, i have a feeling he might get that fifth spot at the oscars.
rye lane! vivian is a clear jury save but idc, she was so good in it.

Idk even if Lily was in Supporting, I don't think she would win here. I feel like the BAFTA just really didn't care for KOTFM and they clearly have a lot of love for The Holdovers.

[miwa201]

yeah maybe not at the bafta but i do think lily would be beating da'vine at the american award shows

[donaestrangera]

I believe Anatomy got nominated in every category it was longlisted for while Poor Things missed a couple of nominations; I really hope Sandra can pull it off!! I can’t take another awards season of Emma Stone beating a superior middle-aged European actress lol. Justice for Isabelle Huppert lolol

[miwa201]

lol i was just thinking the other day that if emma wins it would be the second year where she'd beat a foreign actress whose performance i love. i hope it won't happen

[fernandocolunga]

agreed re everything

[vanilla_09]

I'm really happy for teo yoo. His performance was so layered and palpable like he did such a great job.

Lily had been pretty much locked in when she was thought to be supporting, she was the considered frontrunner. But everything switched up which she went for lead.

I always felt we possibly have another Michelle Williams situation from last year because everyone said she would’ve won supporting had she not gone for lead.

I didn’t watch the Fabelmans, but everyone tells me that it would’ve been category fraud, because she really was more supporting than lead. But I did watch killers of the flower moon and it’s def one of those roles that could qualify as lead or supporting cause she is a lead BUT also there’s a portion of the film where she’s not focus and is literally in the background which borders on supporting territory.

So I always felt that if she ends up loses lead at the Oscars, then it was a similar mistake to Michelle by not staying in supporting. Cause she had that category locked had she not switched.

i think the biggest difference between michelle williams last year and lily gladstone this year is that lily remained win competitive after she switched. michelle basically crashed out of the race the second she moved categories, not really winning anywhere (even smaller regional critics circles). lily has still done well and that makes this snub even more shocking.

i watched fabelmans and agree that williams was very much supporting, while lily is more on the cusp between lead and supporting as you said. people seem to have very strong opinions about where lily should be placed which might be affecting how they vote, frustratingly. it's not like it's an egregious case of category fraud. i think she would've had an easier road in supporting (and michelle 100% would have, so i'll never get why she moved to a less fitting and more competitive category), but i understand why she went lead and i don't think she's totally out of the race. she really needs to win SAG, though.

Yeah I can see why Lily is placed in lead. Tbh as I said in my comment below, I think Sandra Hüller for supporting for Zone of Interest is an obvious case of category fraud. I’m pretty sure she had equal or greater screentime than Christian Friedel.

[tillychar]

i haven't seen zone yet (one of my most anticipated left to watch from this season!) but you're not the first person i've seen say she should be lead rather than supporting for zone, which is interesting. i guess there hasn't been as much debate about it since she's not predicted to get a nomination for zone?

[yami_no_hoshi]

It’s a very good film but extremely disturbing and chilling (which is obvious given the subject matter). And she was fantastic in it but this seems like a way to get her nominated for both roles which doesn’t seem very fair tbh. When you see it, you’ll know what I mean. I actually think she was more of the focal point of the movie than her husband. It’s nonsense to me to put her in supporting.

[unintentionalty]

I think Zone is much more about the husband in the third act; he's clearly the lead at the end. So it could go either way but not really category fraud IMO.

[yami_no_hoshi]

I agree that the third act is focused on him but she’s the focal point for a good chunk of the film imo. I think it was a way to get her nominated for both movies but I didn’t walk away from that film thinking she had a supporting role in any way. But no one else seems to be thinking that (on Twitter etc) so idk if it’s an unpopular opinion or people are just happy she got a double nom (she was fantastic so I get it)

[unintentionalty]

To me it was truly a tossup; neither choice would've been "category fraud" per se. If she weren't running for lead for Anatomy, I think there's a very good chance she'd still be in the supporting race for this one.

[genbu_no_miko24]

I know the lead category was partially for representation reasons but I wish they had thought it out more cause she does a good performance but it’s a subtle. And those type of performances are easily overlooked for a flashy one.

I don’t think Emma gives a stronger or even better performance than Lily but a.)she’s more well-known b.)poor things scores most likely scores good with the white feminism crowd c.) and it’s flashier one.

Lily’s road to Oscars always had the threat of bigger performance or more famous competitors so part of me wishes she had played it safe and stayed in supporting.

Of course if she wins, then the gamble paid off but it’s def been a rocky road.
