I'll say a pretty strong set of winners as even the bottom four are more disappointing winners due to their competition than flat out terrible ones to me.
Louis, your rankings of the past 10 Best Actor winners, the past 10 Best Actress winners, the past 10 Best Supporting Actor winners, and the past 10 Best Supporting Actress winners?
Well, I was obviously delighted by tonight, though as I've mentioned before, would've like to have seen Condon and McDonagh (especially since I want him to continue down this route) win, All the Beauty upset, would've preferred Butler over Fraser, etc. but I can't complain about my favourite film of the year sweeping.
Can we also note how unexpected that AQOTWF became Netflix's most winning film when they hadn't even positioned it as a main contender for most of awards season.
Calvin: I would only disagree with your preference of Butler over Fraser. Enough with the biopics win already. For Butler, to win that out of nowhere, despite neither having a prominent name before, nor was he the best performance in the lineup but simply was going to get awarded because he played a screen icon is not something I would have been fine with. Even though, Fraser's work was limited, he was still really good, and the fact that he's gotten a comeback like this after decades of struggles is amazing.
Butler lost nothing from not winning, he has a great amount of star potential whereas on a personal level, I desperately wanted Fraser to win so that he could have greater opportunities moving forward.
Luke and Perfectionist_ad: Totally get your points, though my take is that Fraser's work isn't *that* much more out of the Oscars' usual ballpark, I guess I merely just preferred Butler. And again, Fraser's comeback has been great, and it will be great to see him thrive going forward.
Kinda wild how half of the Best Picture 10 ending up winning nothing. Obviously a big shame for Banshees and TÁR (Fabelmans too though I sadly figured it was gonna win nothing no matter what). That being said, I find it really hard not to cheer for EEAAO and am super happy with how well it did. Also was pretty content with this show in general. Didn't mind most of how Kimmel did (other than the joke regarding the VFX artist who got cut off, really disrespectful) and liked the presentation of the categories overall.

Loved the EEAAO love, but with regards to Banshees losing Lead Actor and Supporting Actress... I'm gonna set fire to the academy, and I won't check if they are inside or not.
Luke: Glad you mentioned The Long Absence since the lead actor was nominated for a Bafta in the same year that Citti was, so he might be worth looking at.
I’ve seen Everything Everywhere and it was OK but for it to pretty much sweep the board just indicates how desperately poor modern cinema is. 20 years ago it wouldn’t have got a look in let alone be a multiple winner.
Lol 20 years ago they gave Best Picture to A Beautiful Mind. Look how fucking boring so many of the Picture winners were during Weinstein’s reign of terror. You mean to tell me that this is somehow worse?
It's weird that people are still saying things like this about modern movies and art with a straight face, as this mindset has been the stable of humanity for ages.
20 years ago, films like The Dark Knight or In Bruges were getting shut out year after year. The occasional trailblazer like Crouching Tiger or City of God would sometimes make it through, but they were exceptions. Even 10 years ago, I don't think the Academy would even nominate Parasite, so this whole 'modern cinema and Film Twitter bad' just because a certain film won is very stupid to me.
Whenever I hear stuff from people saying how movies have gotten worse, or modern cinema is poor.... That's just a huge red flag for me, sorry. I literally see that bullshit all on YouTube and stuff, and those type of people have so many problems in their heads, that are quite obvious in other things too. I just don't get this mean spirited stuff being said against EEAAO especially.

Robert:
I for one think we need more middling (if that) dramas back at the forefront. Empire of Light was *right there* and surely deserved to win everything.
Seriously though, as much as I wished EEAO had shared the love a bit more, (Condon for Supporting Actress, Tar for screenplay, I think would've been enough), I am overjoyed that the Academy can recognize such an atypical film, which means the barriers based on genre/style continue to be lifted, which have nothing to do with the quality of the film. EEAO wouldn't have been nominated 20 years ago, but not because of any quality standard just because it was "too weird" which would be for entirely the wrong reason.
I feel like 2022 is comparable to 1987s Oscars, where you had two films dominate (The Last Emperor/Moonstruck) and then the other big hitters (Broadcast News, Hope and Glory, Empire and Fatal Attraction) got completely shut out.
Louis: In hindsight, should we have paid more attention to The Fabelmans blanking at BAFTAs or not? One could definitely argue that it’s a very “America” film and they just didn’t go for it, but the film hardly made any noise after that at any other precursors either. The international bloc is pretty big after all, too.
Newton - (Just isn't particularly convincing in her relationship with Rudd nor is her whole background of "caring" feels particularly convincing either. She's either trying to hard or kind of bland in the role. Doesn't carry any weight in any direction and either stands out in the wrong way or just is kind of there. Seems so strange of a casting decision as I think it should've been essential to have someone who had amazing chemistry with Rudd but she doesn't.)
Pfeiffer - (Nice show just of her charisma more than anything because the character's actions really don't make much sense nor are they given any kind of proper depth so she can't really sell them in a way. She does what she can though just by bringing her presence which is enough.)
Douglas - (Is mostly sidelined but I did like the few moments he actually got himself.)
James - (Truly sidelined.)
Stoll - (Thinking about it I rarely dislike Stoll, maybe he could be in something better once in awhile though. I will say out of all the things the film deserves insults for the fixation on MODOK effects are pretty silly, focus on the bad green screen instead, as I'm not sure how a giant head isn't going to look ridiculous. Anyway I did enjoy his deliveries for the randomness of them that I felt gave them a bit more energy than there likely would've been otherwise.)
Majors - (My reservations speaks to the after credits scene where the other Kang were just cartoonish and completely ridiculous, without being in an entertaining way as I felt he was in Loki. The rest of the time though he did show his ability effectively to have a dominating kind of menace which is pretty easy to be boring at, but I found he managed to find the right path on it to create a compelling villain.)

No, as The Fabelmans did end up doing well with the Oscars nomination wise, after all the contingent couldn't help Banshees in the slightest to garner a single win either.
Louis: Please consider giving DiCaprio a downgrade for The Revenant lol. When I first came here on the blog, that was one of the most surprising ratings.
Louis, thoughts on Prisoner Of Azkaban's score & 'Double Trouble'/'Buckbeak's Flight'/'Window To The Past'. Half Blood Prince's Cinematography & 'Dumbledore's Farewell'. And Lily's Theme from Deathly Hallows Part 2.
I think Nakadai has a real shot at dethroning Mifune. I know Mifune was in his top 10 Lead for 60's if I remember but it is one of Nak's strongest performances and the best of the trilogy.
1. Parasite 2. Birdman 3. Nomadland 4. Spotlight 5. 12 Years A Slave 6. Moonlight 7. The Shape of Water 8. Everything Everywhere All at Once 9. Green Book 10. CODA
I mean unsurprising it is to hear him speak on a very technically minded level, with some mentions of thematic/story elements, and in that sense you can see he is very much focused on his particular craft though with how it also serves the narrative of the director. He has a very distinct low key passion about his work, which also perhaps suggests why he unlike some other cinematographers never sought out the directing chair, it seems very clear that cinematography is what he loves.
Also was interesting to hear what was cut out of Jesse James, though it also makes sense to me narrative wise why we wouldn't return to Frank James past what we got from him, though I wouldn't mind seeing the deleted scenes. Although the interviewer probably should slow their roll regarding using the word "unjustly" with the original 4 hour cut, you haven't seen the cut you have no idea if it worked, given what we got is a masterpiece maybe it was just the right cut, despite what Andrew "I disown my best film by FAR" Dominik thinks.
8000's:
Young, Wyman and Greer - (All fairly similar per the period though pleasant enough.)
Gugino - (Has a nice innate vivaciousness to be sure.)
Fiorentino - (Depends a bit if she goes more severe in the sultry or not where her voice becomes quite intense though she can also sound more sort of typically measured.)

Tim:
Other than it's not good? The screenplay is probably everything that I dislike about Apatow all in one neat bloated package. The first being his inability to structure the film without needing to basically restart the premise at a certain point, and in a way that feels stretched out. I will say there's definitely plenty of good ideas to be explored. A man screwing up his own redemption after getting a second chance actually is interesting. The whole world of stand up comedians and the different hierarchies, again potentially very interesting. But what do we get really? Thin cartoon characters, even our main character is just a standard ego that never really feels like a genuine person, and Rogen's character is barely a character. We later get cliches of the ex-wife and the new over the top husband. And really all the side characters are just a single over the top thing. All that would be fine if it was hilarious or something but it's not. I really find Apatow seems to confuse crude with amusing, and crude can be amusing, however he seems to just think crude will be amusing. And really he only has two settings for his character very hostile sarcasm or overly earnest in a very fake feeling way. All of this is worsened though because none of this is streamlined into anything that is the least bit well realized in terms of structuring the character's arc or even just creating compelling characters that you want to see what happens to them.
Louis: While he was obviously more of a character actor than a leading man, what do you think of the idea of John Carradine as Daniel Plainview? He already has the voice for the character.
I could have also seen him as being a great Judge Holden.
I'll probably wait for some episodes to stack together as I tend to do with most comedies.
Calvin:
A scene you can kind of use to accentuate the importance of direction and performance as so key, as the conversation is nearly perfunctory in terms of pleasantries of "where'd you get that" even if that takes on a deeper meaning as that goes along. However it takes on through Wong's direction and the two performances, where Wong begins as the observer closing coming into more intimacy in each moment of the conversation, accentuating a romantic atmosphere with the entire aesthetic and the slightly muted yet romantic feeling song behind them. The performance enriching the lines with sincere sort of allusion to affection, while as they note the "same gifts" it is the reactions of the subtle sadness that speaks to the truth of the conversation.
With Air and Tetris, interesting how many highly specified product films there are this year, but anyway yes get a golden guy for the golden god. Seriously though looks like it has potential, and looks like Howerton will finally have a decent film role, so yeah I'm looking forward to that particularly, even if maybe the film itself might look slightly derivative of others of its ilk, certainly looks more than decent regardless.
8000's:
I mean maybe, only I do think there is a strange empathy you have for Plainview that I don't think would be as easy with Carradine, but maybe as his Casey performance really suggests a great deal of only partially tapped potential.
Marcus:
I feel I've give those somewhere, especially half measures.
Louis and everyone: So, two part question here, both regarding the late Canadian actor Christopher Plummer...
Firstly Louis, Plummer seem to have a much better response for you in his early performances, compared to his first two oscar nominations in his 80s. Did your appreciation of his body of work increase over time, or did you always have a knowledge/admiration for many of the performances you reviewed him for?
And secondly, what's everyone think of his voice work as Arngier from "Skyrim"? That game was frankly never renowned for it's expert voice acting, but Plummer I think stands out for the quality of his voice, but also the quality of his delivery.
I mean I always like some Steven Yeun, the trailer looks like it could go either way as per usual with dark comedy where it is hard to tell in such a snippet if it will be too much or just right.
8000's:
I think all three I honestly have relative similar thoughts for. All I think kind of were constantly fighting with a certain respect of getting to act and not just being cast for their looks, which certainly were quite aggressively evident. And in that regard they certainly all three had that movie star vivaciousness especially in their key roles. In a weird way it seems perhaps what the director's expected them, as typically they're better the better their films are, and in a way that is probably the director pushing each of them. Tierney particularly in Leave Her to Heaven and Laura, you sense her still in a certain style but amplified in terms of dramatic attention and connection. Gardner with Night of the Iguana especially where she subverted her expectation. Hayworth typically if they were letting her any fun it would seem, as stiffer the film, stiffer she was.
Mitchell:
Through this I have been able to see his more obscure work, which did grow my appreciation in general, though also in general I liked him more than my reviews of his first two Oscar nominated performances suggested regardless.
Tony:
Interestingly I think put Condon in both of Abbie Cornish's roles in McDonagh's films, particularly Three Billboards (which does feature Condon in a wasted role) and you improve both films to at least a minor degree, especially Three Billboards, not that those would be great roles for her.
Otherwise:
Olivia Wenscombe Joan Clarke Mona Lisa Vito Cecilia (Purple Rose of Cairo) Hildy (The Ballad of Cable Hogue)
Well, she's just super charming and fun. Hopefully this will get her some decent or at least bigger roles going forward, and McDonagh will make her a prominent regular every time.
Tahmeed:
In a general sense, sure and as someone who has appreciated Kelvin Harrison's work.
Louis: Out of those, I can most easily see her as Joan Clarke and especially Cecilia. As for Olivia, I feel Rebecca Hall's character may be a better fit for Condon, though neither are particularly substantial roles. Not seen the other two, though judging by what I know of My Cousin Vinny it'd be interesting to see her play the "spitfire" type in a more heightened register.
How do you feel about Condon in these roles: Kate Macer Gareth Peirce Bess McNeill
Well he's right about Cagney and Bogart, though it is funny how he notes their "killability" as part of their presence.
Tahmeed:
1. Goodbye - Leave No Trace 2. At the state Home - Leave No trace 3. Failed confrontation - Last Night in Soho 4. The Truth of it - Last Night in Soho 5. Police - Last Night in Soho 6. Saving her dad - Leave No Trace 7. Hearing about the men in the woods - Leave No Trace 8. Trip to the past - Last Night in Soho 9. Visions at a party - Last Night in Soho 10. First Night - Last Night in Soho
Marcus:
I haven't seen Divorce since I reviewed Mastroianni, so hard to say for sure, they're about on an even keel.
Tony:
Well I'd much rather replace Johansson who is the sore thumb of that ensemble, unlike Hall who is quite good. Also from what I recall of the Last Station she can play sultry.
Kate Mercer, sure maybe, haven't seen that extreme on her but there's no reason not to believe she couldn't deliver on it.
Easy buy as Peirce, as easy to see her bring that indignation.
Bess McNeill is kind of the biggest push for any actress, so maybe, but obviously one would have to see for sure.

Loved the EEAAO love, but with regards to Banshees losing Lead Actor and Supporting Actress... I'm gonna set fire to the academy, and I won't check if they are inside or not.
i mostly enjoyed the ceremony too, but remember when standing ovations were something special that happened rarely?
Luke: Glad you mentioned The Long Absence since the lead actor was nominated for a Bafta in the same year that Citti was, so he might be worth looking at.
I'm most curious about El Cid. One of Scorcese's favourite films.
Louis: is Black Bird Egerton's career-best you've seen from him?
Louis, could Maximilian Schell go up for Judgment At Nuremberg.
I’ve seen Everything Everywhere and it was OK but for it to pretty much sweep the board just indicates how desperately poor modern cinema is. 20 years ago it wouldn’t have got a look in let alone be a multiple winner.
Houndtang: If you mean to imply the Oscars chose better films or acting nominees 20 years ago, hard disagree on that one.

It's weird that people are still saying things like this about modern movies and art with a straight face, as this mindset has been the stable of humanity for ages.
For me the 2000s are easily the worst for the Oscars, so many decisions have aged badly.

Now that Oppenheimer teaser was stellar.
Little Mermaid looks like every other Live Action Disney remake, which a bit pointless and a bit, ironically, a bit fake in terms of visuals. Though currently it seems to be getting the ire for the wrong reasons, but as is online discourse these days.

Robert:
I for one think we need more middling (if that) dramas back at the forefront. Empire of Light was *right there* and surely deserved to win everything.
*Judgment At Nuremberg (Re-Watch for Schell)
Seriously though, as much as I wished EEAO had shared the love a bit more, (Condon for Supporting Actress, Tar for screenplay, I think would've been enough), I am overjoyed that the Academy can recognize such an atypical film, which means the barriers based on genre/style continue to be lifted, which have nothing to do with the quality of the film. EEAO wouldn't have been nominated 20 years ago, but not because of any quality standard just because it was "too weird" which would be for entirely the wrong reason.
Louis: your thoughts on the cast of Quantumania?
If Blanchett won where would she rank?
I feel like 2022 is comparable to 1987s Oscars, where you had two films dominate (The Last Emperor/Moonstruck) and then the other big hitters (Broadcast News, Hope and Glory, Empire and Fatal Attraction) got completely shut out.
Louis: In hindsight, should we have paid more attention to The Fabelmans blanking at BAFTAs or not? One could definitely argue that it’s a very “America” film and they just didn’t go for it, but the film hardly made any noise after that at any other precursors either. The international bloc is pretty big after all, too.
Lucas:
Rudd - (His typical thing, it's fine.)
Newton - (Just isn't particularly convincing in her relationship with Rudd nor is her whole background of "caring" feels particularly convincing either. She's either trying to hard or kind of bland in the role. Doesn't carry any weight in any direction and either stands out in the wrong way or just is kind of there. Seems so strange of a casting decision as I think it should've been essential to have someone who had amazing chemistry with Rudd but she doesn't.)
Pfeiffer - (Nice show just of her charisma more than anything because the character's actions really don't make much sense nor are they given any kind of proper depth so she can't really sell them in a way. She does what she can though just by bringing her presence which is enough.)
Douglas - (Is mostly sidelined but I did like the few moments he actually got himself.)
James - (Truly sidelined.)
Stoll - (Thinking about it I rarely dislike Stoll, maybe he could be in something better once in awhile though. I will say out of all the things the film deserves insults for the fixation on MODOK effects are pretty silly, focus on the bad green screen instead, as I'm not sure how a giant head isn't going to look ridiculous. Anyway I did enjoy his deliveries for the randomness of them that I felt gave them a bit more energy than there likely would've been otherwise.)
Majors - (My reservations speaks to the after credits scene where the other Kang were just cartoonish and completely ridiculous, without being in an entertaining way as I felt he was in Loki. The rest of the time though he did show his ability effectively to have a dominating kind of menace which is pretty easy to be boring at, but I found he managed to find the right path on it to create a compelling villain.)

No, as The Fabelmans did end up doing well with the Oscars nomination wise, after all the contingent couldn't help Banshees in the slightest to garner a single win either.

I predict Nakadai to get #2. Mifune in Yojimbo will be a rather tall order to dethrone.
I think Nakadai has a real shot at dethroning Mifune. I know Mifune was in his top 10 Lead for 60's if I remember but it is one of Nak's strongest performances and the best of the trilogy.
Mifune already has 3 wins. I want to see a win of Nakadai before he leaves.

Louis: Your updated top 20 animated films, and top 10 vocal performances in animated films?
Luke:
I mean unsurprising it is to hear him speak on a very technically minded level, with some mentions of thematic/story elements, and in that sense you can see he is very much focused on his particular craft though with how it also serves the narrative of the director. He has a very distinct low key passion about his work, which also perhaps suggests why he unlike some other cinematographers never sought out the directing chair, it seems very clear that cinematography is what he loves.
Also was interesting to hear what was cut out of Jesse James, though it also makes sense to me narrative wise why we wouldn't return to Frank James past what we got from him, though I wouldn't mind seeing the deleted scenes. Although the interviewer probably should slow their roll regarding using the word "unjustly" with the original 4 hour cut, you haven't seen the cut you have no idea if it worked, given what we got is a masterpiece maybe it was just the right cut, despite what Andrew "I disown my best film by FAR" Dominik thinks.
8000's:
Young, Wyman and Greer - (All fairly similar per the period though pleasant enough.)
Gugino - (Has a nice innate vivaciousness to be sure.)
Fiorentino - (Depends a bit if she goes more severe in the sultry or not where her voice becomes quite intense though she can also sound more sort of typically measured.)

Other than it's not good? The screenplay is probably everything that I dislike about Apatow all in one neat bloated package. The first being his inability to structure the film without needing to basically restart the premise at a certain point, and in a way that feels stretched out. I will say there's definitely plenty of good ideas to be explored. A man screwing up his own redemption after getting a second chance actually is interesting. The whole world of stand up comedians and the different hierarchies, again potentially very interesting. But what do we get really? Thin cartoon characters, even our main character is just a standard ego that never really feels like a genuine person, and Rogen's character is barely a character. We later get cliches of the ex-wife and the new over the top husband. And really all the side characters are just a single over the top thing. All that would be fine if it was hilarious or something but it's not. I really find Apatow seems to confuse crude with amusing, and crude can be amusing, however he seems to just think crude will be amusing. And really he only has two settings for his character very hostile sarcasm or overly earnest in a very fake feeling way. All of this is worsened though because none of this is streamlined into anything that is the least bit well realized in terms of structuring the character's arc or even just creating compelling characters that you want to see what happens to them.

Louis: Thoughts and MVP of the Ted Lasso season 3 premiere when you see it?
Louis: thoughts on the restaurant scene in In the Mood For Love.
Louis: While he was obviously more of a character actor than a leading man, what do you think of the idea of John Carradine as Daniel Plainview? He already has the voice for the character.
I could have also seen him as being a great Judge Holden.
Louis: thoughts on the Blackberry trailer? I imagine you'll be excited to see a very particular performance in it.
Guillermo Del Toro's next film is Frankenstein with Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth and Andrew Garfield.
Mia Goth starring, we're definitely in for something truly special.
So...Ron Perlman as The Monster?
I really wish they'd get Dave Bautista for Frankenstein's Monster.
Dave Bautista would have been perfect, he wants to do more dramatic work so I am sure he will get the right role eventually.
I still can't believe how great he was in that Blade Runner short.
Louis: Your thoughts on these Breaking Bad scenes (if you haven't given them before)
Half Measure
Prison killings
"You're never going to see Hank again"
Tahmeed:
I'll probably wait for some episodes to stack together as I tend to do with most comedies.
Calvin:
A scene you can kind of use to accentuate the importance of direction and performance as so key, as the conversation is nearly perfunctory in terms of pleasantries of "where'd you get that" even if that takes on a deeper meaning as that goes along. However it takes on through Wong's direction and the two performances, where Wong begins as the observer closing coming into more intimacy in each moment of the conversation, accentuating a romantic atmosphere with the entire aesthetic and the slightly muted yet romantic feeling song behind them. The performance enriching the lines with sincere sort of allusion to affection, while as they note the "same gifts" it is the reactions of the subtle sadness that speaks to the truth of the conversation.
With Air and Tetris, interesting how many highly specified product films there are this year, but anyway yes get a golden guy for the golden god. Seriously though looks like it has potential, and looks like Howerton will finally have a decent film role, so yeah I'm looking forward to that particularly, even if maybe the film itself might look slightly derivative of others of its ilk, certainly looks more than decent regardless.
8000's:
I mean maybe, only I do think there is a strange empathy you have for Plainview that I don't think would be as easy with Carradine, but maybe as his Casey performance really suggests a great deal of only partially tapped potential.
Marcus:
I feel I've give those somewhere, especially half measures.
Louis, thoughts on the Beef trailer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFPIMHBzGDs
Louis: Thoughts on Gene Tierney, Ava Gardner and Rita Hayworth as actresses?
Louis and everyone: So, two part question here, both regarding the late Canadian actor Christopher Plummer...
Firstly Louis, Plummer seem to have a much better response for you in his early performances, compared to his first two oscar nominations in his 80s. Did your appreciation of his body of work increase over time, or did you always have a knowledge/admiration for many of the performances you reviewed him for?
And secondly, what's everyone think of his voice work as Arngier from "Skyrim"? That game was frankly never renowned for it's expert voice acting, but Plummer I think stands out for the quality of his voice, but also the quality of his delivery.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3VhoOUHwX8&ab_channel=Frostyghosts1
Mitchell: What can I really say? Plummer had a fantastic voice that translated well into video games.
Louis: What are your past/present roles for Kerry Condon, if you haven't given them already?
Your thoughts on this interview with her? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVvowMPoZ9A
Louis: Are you looking forward to Chevalier?
Anonymous:
I mean I always like some Steven Yeun, the trailer looks like it could go either way as per usual with dark comedy where it is hard to tell in such a snippet if it will be too much or just right.
8000's:
I think all three I honestly have relative similar thoughts for. All I think kind of were constantly fighting with a certain respect of getting to act and not just being cast for their looks, which certainly were quite aggressively evident. And in that regard they certainly all three had that movie star vivaciousness especially in their key roles. In a weird way it seems perhaps what the director's expected them, as typically they're better the better their films are, and in a way that is probably the director pushing each of them. Tierney particularly in Leave Her to Heaven and Laura, you sense her still in a certain style but amplified in terms of dramatic attention and connection. Gardner with Night of the Iguana especially where she subverted her expectation. Hayworth typically if they were letting her any fun it would seem, as stiffer the film, stiffer she was.
Mitchell:
Through this I have been able to see his more obscure work, which did grow my appreciation in general, though also in general I liked him more than my reviews of his first two Oscar nominated performances suggested regardless.
Tony:
Interestingly I think put Condon in both of Abbie Cornish's roles in McDonagh's films, particularly Three Billboards (which does feature Condon in a wasted role) and you improve both films to at least a minor degree, especially Three Billboards, not that those would be great roles for her.
Otherwise:
Olivia Wenscombe
Joan Clarke
Mona Lisa Vito
Cecilia (Purple Rose of Cairo)
Hildy (The Ballad of Cable Hogue)
Well, she's just super charming and fun. Hopefully this will get her some decent or at least bigger roles going forward, and McDonagh will make her a prominent regular every time.
Tahmeed:
In a general sense, sure and as someone who has appreciated Kelvin Harrison's work.

Louis: Out of those, I can most easily see her as Joan Clarke and especially Cecilia. As for Olivia, I feel Rebecca Hall's character may be a better fit for Condon, though neither are particularly substantial roles. Not seen the other two, though judging by what I know of My Cousin Vinny it'd be interesting to see her play the "spitfire" type in a more heightened register.
How do you feel about Condon in these roles:
Kate Macer
Gareth Peirce
Bess McNeill

I haven't seen Divorce since I reviewed Mastroianni, so hard to say for sure, they're about on an even keel.
Tony:
Well I'd much rather replace Johansson who is the sore thumb of that ensemble, unlike Hall who is quite good. Also from what I recall of the Last Station she can play sultry.
Kate Mercer, sure maybe, haven't seen that extreme on her but there's no reason not to believe she couldn't deliver on it.
Easy buy as Peirce, as easy to see her bring that indignation.
Bess McNeill is kind of the biggest push for any actress, so maybe, but obviously one would have to see for sure.
