I'll say this pretty much Cillian Muphy performance in Oppenheimer was chilling alone

He was great and much deserving, but I might be happier if Giamatti were to win. Both would be fine for me though.

Update: yes, I got on a roll in this video and used my hand gestures more than normal. Usually, I try to hold something in my right hand to stay more grounded.

i got no horse in this race. i didnt like oppenheimer but would be fine with him winning. would make sense. but giamatti would be great. going to see american fiction next tuesday for $6 AMC tuesday. been trying to last few weeks but things kept getting in way. jeffrey wright would be cool and a shock.

Yes, I’m starting to really like Giamatti’s chances and this is his second nomination and Murphy’s first. I do think that Murphy gave the better performance, but Giamatti deserves it more and has earned it with a better body of work.

American Fiction was good and I like Jeffrey Wright’s acting in general, even his Felix Leiter in the Daniel Craig Bond films.

The Holdovers has a garbage ending. I have no idea why critics are falling over themselves for this film.

I hope Giamatti wins. They were both great this year in great movies. Oppenheimer I’m probably going to win A LOT of awards this year. That’s why I’m rooting for Giamatti.

@excelsiormoviereviews 6 ай бұрын

I think so too. It would be a great story if Giamatti were to win I would be as happy as Brendan Fraser winning last year. I didn’t realize that Giamatti had one Oscar nomination for Cinderella Man and didn’t get one for Sideways. This is Murphy’s first nomination.

Cillian poured his heart out for it, but i kept hearing his irish lilt in almost every scene. The geandeur of nokand films fall a little flat for me. The music in his films is always better than the scene which its played over, if that makes sense.

Yes, I know what you mean on both points. I think that The Dark Knight worked for me though.

"Oppenheimer" is excellent but, for me, it is much more about the score and the filmmaking. "The Holdovers" is ALL about the dialogue and the performances. Between the two of them, it should be Giamatti.

@excelsiormoviereviews 6 ай бұрын

I’m with you regarding Giamatti, but I liked the story and performances in Oppenheimer. I was swept into the story of Oppenheimer and the world event that his invention had an effect on.

@robertr798 6 ай бұрын

@@excelsiormoviereviews I should clarify, the performances in "Oppenheimer" were all solid, but the storytelling was so (purposefully) fractured and chaotic. It is a great story, and a great film. "The Holdovers" is a different kind of movie, one that is more designed to showcases its actors. I hope that makes sense.

I lean towards Paul just because I like the movie better and I liked Oppenheimer but I don't think it's a masterpiece like some people. I think Murphy will win and I get it. Nobody will look back at it and think the Oscars blew it with giving him an Oscar. This isn't like giving Sandra Bullock for a pretty lame performance.

Yes, I agree, I won’t be angry if Murphy wins, but I will be bouncing my living room if Giamatti wins.

Oppenheimer was good but IMHO, Extremely over-rated.

You’re not alone, especially people that are seeing it for the first time on 4K have said that it was good not great. I saw it 3 times in the theater first and I got swept into this major event that’ was the most important thing to happen to the world.
