Yeah, I wasn’t buying the assumption that Crowe would be a five. He was good I didn’t think it came anywhere near the heights of L.A. Confidential and Boy Erased, I also kinda wish he’d forgone the accent.

Also funny enough, O’Connell is my favorite from this lineup but I chose to predict him because of how much I’d been overestimating the Sinners cast in my predictions.

Michael McCarthy said...

For the lead lineup:

Lee Byung-hun
Jesse Plemons
Josh O’Connor
Joel Edgerton
Daniel Jonsson
Paul Mescal
Dylan O’Brien
David Strathairn
Cillian Murphy
Sergi Lopez

Luke Higham said...

This is the lowest amount of fives given in Supporting Actor for nearly 2 decades.

Luke Higham said...

I'm fine with whoever's chosen though I would like DDL for a bonus writeup if you're willing.

Robert MacFarlane said...

Lee Byung-hun
Joel Edgerton
Josh O’Connor
Paul Mescal
Jesse Plemons
Channing Tatum (I honestly think he’s worthy of more than a 4)
Oscar Isaac

Luke Higham said...

Louis: Your Editing top ten.

Lucas Saavedra said...

Dylan O'Brien in Twinless
Sergi López in Sirāt
Jeremy Allen White in Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere
Everett Blunck in The Plague
Frank Dillane in Urchin
Harry Melling in Pillion
Robert Aramayo in I Swear
Cooper Hoffman in The Long Walk
David Jonsson in The Long Walk
Daniel Day-Lewis in Anemone

Well it's disappointing Crowe didn't get a 5, I found his Göring to be a pretty terrifying villain, even if his film wasn't remarkable in any way aside from him. Hell, from my perspective Malek was kinda like Bradley Cooper in Maestro in that he came off as somewhat decent, but upon rewatch he'll likely drop down by a lot.

Ytrewq Wertyq said...

Not that a rewatch of Maestro or Nuremberg is high on my priority list.

Louis: Where would you rank:
Daniel Craig - Wake Up Dead Man
David Bradley - Frankenstein
Jonah Wren Phillips - Bring Her Back
Ryusei Yokohama - Kokuho

Matt Mustin said...

Boy, I like Jack O'Connell well enough (except in Eden Lake) but I never thought I'd see him at number 3 in a ranking.

Calvin Law said...

Glad Crowe isn’t a 5, granted I also thought that film was atrocious.

Calvin Law said...

My suggestions:

Lee Byung-hun - No Other Choice (my most anticipated review)
Sopé Dìrísù - My Father’s Shadow (though it’ll probably be hard to find a way to watch it)
Frank Dillane - Urchin
Josh O’Connor - Wake Up Dead Man
Robert Aramayo - I Swear
Cooper Hoffman & David Jonsson - The Long Walk

Tybalt said...

Louis: Thoughts on the 28 Years Later cast?

Emi Grant said...

Byung-hung Lee - No Other Choice
Jesse Plemons - Bugonia
Josh O'Connor - Wake Up Dead Man
Hoffman & Jonsson - The Long Walk

Don't know who else to suggest, I've watched very little from last year. Wouldn't mind an Edgerton write-up, though.

Emi Grant said...

Oh, shit. I thought Raterman was a 4 for OBAA. Did he go up?

Luke Higham said...

Emi: He mentioned it in Del Toro's review.

Emi Grant said...

I forgor

Robert MacFarlane said...

Advocating for an Isaac review because of how it’ll be one that virtually only you and me agree on and no one else.
