The 95th Oscars will take place on Sunday March 12 at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, and will be televised live in more than 200 countries around the world. And many local hearts will beat in front of the screen that day with the expectation set in the film by Santiago Mitre, “Argentina, 1985”to see if “as in ’86”, the double world champions in soccer plus the oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Jimmy Kimmel He will be in charge of conducting the gala: he repeats after his good work in 2017 and 2018, when the confusion of the envelopes occurred and “La La Land” was announced as the best film instead of “Moonlight”, an error that he had to rectify. AND Rihannawho already headlined the Super Bowl halftime show, will be the highlight of the musical scene: she will perform “Lift Me Up”, the Oscar-nominated song for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”.
The Marvel-Disney film has been one of the favorites of the pochoclero public in 2022, and this was reflected at the box office. And after the death of Chadwick Boseman, the “Black Panther”, Queen Ramonda incarnated by Angela Bassett, she emerges as the protector of the kingdom of Wakanda. Her performance is nominated for an Oscar as Best Supporting Actress (It’s been 30 years since she was cast for playing Tina Turner in “What’s Love Got to Do With It?”), and if she does, she’d be the first woman to win it for a superhero movie, and the third person overall. , after Heath Ledger (“The Dark Knight”) and Joaquin Phoenix (“Joker”).
The Bassett’s wins at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards, make her the favorite for the Oscar and become the first winner of the Marvel Universe. Her main rivals are Kerry Condom by “The Banshees of Inisherin”to whom she lost at the British BAFTAs (although it could simply be home-field advantage there for the Irish), and Jamie Lee Curtis by “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, who however splits votes with his co-star Stephanie Hsu, a rising star in Hollywood.
Both share the bill in turn in the Dan Kwan film with michelle yeohone of the favorites for the Best Actress award, a pole that she shares with cate blanchett (“Tár”), which won several awards in the previous run: BAFTA, Critics Choice and Golden Globes. And many speculate that “Everything Everywhere” could have a setting similar to that of Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s “Birdman,” which won four Oscars (Best Picture, Director, Original Screenplay, and Cinematography), but none for its star. Michael Keaton: Lost to Eddie Redmayne as scientist Stephen Hawking in the biographical drama “The Theory of Everything.”
Among the actors, Austin Butler is the one designated for the Oscar for Best Male Performance with his interpretation of Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s film: he managed to surpass brendan fraser (“The Whale”) already Colin Farrel (“The Banshees of Inisherin”), to win the BAFTA. But Fraser and Farrell each have an award (with a Critics Choice the first, and the second with the Golden Globe), so all three arrive with chances.
And among the Supporting Actors, the triumph of barry keoghan (“Banshees”) on Ke Huy Quan (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”) was a surprise at the BAFTAs. But it’s not expected to translate to the Oscars. Quan, 51, is a critical darling for his portrayal of Waymond Wang, the goofy husband in the multiverse comedy, and is related by many to a similar phenomenon to last year’s “CODA” winner Troy Kotsur.
