As we come off the Golden Globes and saw Oscar nominations flood in earlier this week, contenders for the main awards have been a point of discussion.\u00a0 \u201cEverything Everywhere All At Once\u201d had quite a few wins at the Golden Globes and came in with 11 Oscar nominations.\u00a0 Michelle Yeoh won the best actress Golden Globe and has had a lot of well deserved buzz to win the Oscar as well.\u00a0 This film follows the story of an Asian family, particularly the mother (Yeoh) who essentially gets recruited by her husband from an alternate universe to save the multiverse, requiring her to jump through various parallel universes.\u00a0 The large scale effects required for this movie and how well they were executed are remarkable.\u00a0 There\u2019s a lot going on in this movie and the plot is confusing yet wildly entertaining and makes you laugh with all kinds of ridiculous subplots, including a take on \u201cRatatouille\u201d that instead features a raccoon.\u00a0 Yet the emotional story and the family connections in this movie are so profound and beautiful as well, there\u2019s really nothing it lacks.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Another large contender for best actress is Cate Blanchett in \u201cT\u00e1r.\u201d\u00a0 This film overall is another with a lot of award attention and is a drama following the downfall of a conductor and composer.\u00a0 Blanchett has recently said, though quite vaguely, that she may quit acting now.\u00a0 She has had a very successful career, so this could make sense, though she would be greatly missed.\u00a0 If this is true it would be cool to see her win for this but ultimately Yeoh is just so incredibly deserving of it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBanshees of Inisherin\u201d is another with the potential to win a lot of Oscars and won for the best Musical or Comedy Golden Globe. This film follows the story of two older best friends living on an island when one, Colm, played by Brendan Gleeson, tells the other, P\u00e1draic, played by Colin Farrell, that he no longer wishes to be friends with him.\u00a0 This film isn\u2019t necessarily as impressive or eventful as \u201cEverything Everywhere All At Once\u201d but it is thought provoking and the acting is incredible.\u00a0 Colin Farrell would certainly be deserving of the Best Actor Oscar for his performance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe Fabelmans\u201d directed by Steven Spielberg won the Golden Globe for best Drama, was nominated for best picture Oscar and is likely a strong contender again. \u201cAvatar: Way of Water,\u201d \u201cAftersun,\u201d\u00a0 \u201cElvis,\u201d and \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever\u201d are other popular films that probably won\u2019t get as many big awards but are still attracting attention for their acting performances and visual effects.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Karen Kohler As we come off the Golden Globes and saw Oscar nominations flood in earlier this week, contenders for the main awards have been a point of discussion.\u00a0 \u201cEverything Everywhere All At Once\u201d had quite a few wins at the Golden Globes and came in with 11 Oscar nominations.\u00a0 Michelle Yeoh won the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7045,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[23],"class_list":["post-7044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-summer2019"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7044"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7044\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
