A storyline for season 5 of WWDITS should be Guillermo going to a casting call for season 2 of IWTV to play Armand.

He's surrounded by all these 6ft instagram model looking dudes with 8-packs and chiselled jawlines, and he's feeling really down on himself,

then he goes into the audition and for some reason Sam Reid is there and since all actors who play vampires are really vampires he unknowingly immediately senses Guillermo's irresistable Van Helsing blood and is like "THAT ONE. HE'S THE ONE."

Seriously, s2 of What We Do in The Shadows  was one of very few bright spots during this time of woe. Here is HARVEYGUILLEN as the ultimo slayer Guillermo wiping out the missing Council members (added G. Oldman's big bad D)

Time travelling back to 19th Century Philippines at Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar

“May mga bagay na maiiwan natin sa nakaraan pero hindi ibig sabihin na mababaon ang lahat sa limot”. – I Love You Since 1892

The Province of Baatan is one the most historical places in our country. Aside from being known for the significant historical events like the Death March and Battle of Bataan during World War II, Bataan has also transformed itself as a heritage and cultural hub because of Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar which is a heritage resort located in Bagac, Bataan.  

For someone who loves history and architecture, this is a dream come true. I learned about this place from one of my professors in college. I was encouraged when we discussed it in class. I have dreamt of coming here since then. I can’t believe that the “someday” I promised myself finally came.  Each heritage houses here were restored and preserved with pieces from its original structure that has kept its secrets alive through time. It is very surreal. Time travelling to 19th Century Philippines was made possible here because of the heritage conservation efforts of Mr. Jose “Gerry” Acuzar by rebuilding the Spanish Colonial Era Heritage Houses and turning it more than just a resort or tourism destination but also a place for learning history and appreciating our rich Filipino culture and heritage.

This place has also been a filming site of Heneral Luna, Goyo and Quezon’s Game which is why every corner reminded me of it. It was like walking into the film itself and being part of it. If there is a chance that they will be making the film adaptation of the Historical Fiction, I Love You Since 1892, I can imagine it happening here. This is a perfect setting.

We availed the walking heritage tour inclusive of access inside some of the heritage houses, tour guide, welcome drinks, cold towels and free raincoats if it is raining. I will be sharing some of the highlighted structures and heritage houses at the resort as well as some of the things I learned there.

CASA BINAN

Looks familiar? If you watched Heneral Luna, you will remember that this is the courtyard where Gen. Antonio Luna was betrayed and brutally killed in the film. Casa Binan is a replica of the house where Dona Teodora Alonzo, mother of Jose Rizal grew up and lived. You can also feel that a lot of tragic events happened here. After some time, it came to be known as Alberto Mansion. Its house materials and relics were transferred here to recreate the historic house in Laguna.

Each houses once have a small fenced space near the window where they can dry their plates after washing them. Also, they have ventanillas below, a window for more ventilation since electricity, electric fan and aircondition weren’t invented yet by then.

CASA MEXICO

Casa Mexico is a bahay na bato in Mexico, Pampanga. I don’t know why for some reasons, I was attracted to this house. This is my favorite among the ancestral houses at Las Casas. I love its architectural structure and design. According to the story, this house was totally destroyed. However, they were able to save some of its original materials from the junkshop and reconstructed it using old photographs as their guide for its reconstruction. Because of that, it is considered as the “phoenix rising from the ashes”.

CASA JAEN

Casa Jaen was built in 1901 by Hilarion Santiago. It is called the “White House” because it served as the residence of the first mayor of Jaen. Moreover, it bares the crown-like design called “acroterion” or crown callados which is a status symbol saying that the one who lives in the house is rich and prominent. Despite its grandeur, this house also witnessed a horrifying event. Jose Carlos, also a mayor lived in the house, was attacked. The house was strafted from the outside with the attempt for his assassination because of politics. He eventually surrendered by waving a white cloth. The house still stands with the evidences of the gunshots in the bullet holes that marked the horrifying event.

CASA UNISAN

Casa Unisan was owned by Antonio Maxino from Quezon Province whose entire family was murdered. Only the youngest daughter, Carmen was able to escape and survive with the help of their househelper by hiding her in a bayong for dirty laundry. Casa Unisan currently serves as a restaurant offering different cuisines.

With this story about Carmen and her family, I was reminded of the story of the Romanovs of Russia. The animated film “Anastasia” was inspired by the fall of the Romanov Dynasty. It was believed that only Anastasia Romanov and her grandmother survived with the help of a young boy working in the palace. Although debatable whether Anastasia survived, recent results from the investigation of historians has proven that she too died that night.

PASEO DE ESCOLTA

The Paseo de Escolta is a replica inspired from the old commercial structures of the old business district in Manila famed during the 1900s. Currently, it has souvenir stores on the ground floor while the upper floors served as a hotel for tourists.

CASA BYZANTINA

Casa Byzantina can be originally founds in Binondo, Manila. It is a typical structure of bahay na bato that is built to protect the people from earthquake. Its ground floor is built of stone and bricks while its upper storey are made of various Philippine hard wood. It was lease to tenants after World War II and also became the home to 50 families by 2009. It was later restored and transferred at Las Casas to become a luxurious heritage house accommodating more guests with butler service.

CASA LUNA

Casa Luna was built in 1850. It is named after the Luna Brothers, Antonio and Juan. It has also witnessed several significant points in our history. It became a venue for gatherings and headquarter of the United States America Forces in the Philippines of the group planning to capture Gen. Yamashita.

CASA QUIAPO

Casa Quiapo was also known as Casa Hidalgo. It was built in 1867 designed by first Philippine Architect Felix Arroyo. Before it became the first School of Fine Arts of the University of the Philippines, it is where prominent artists like Juan Luna and Felix Hidalgo used to train. The school also gave birth to brilliant artists like Fernando Amorsolo and Guillermo Tolentino. 

After some time, it was transferred to Padre Fausta St. where the building housed a bowling alley, abortion clinic, dormitory, and live sex shows. Las Casas have the building blessed to ward of the negativity because of its past. Currently, the building housed the exhibit of Bellas Artes Project.

CASA BALIUAG

Casa Baliuag was built in 1898. It is located near Baliuag Church and once served as the municipal hall of Baliuag in 1950s. It has an intricate highly floral motif evident in the wood carvings of the fascade. The lower part of the house became the waiting area for Bulakenos bound for Manila. Because many people stood in front of the houses while waiting for a ride, the owner decided to set up a photo studio and post office business.  

TRAMVIA

Before PNR, LRT and PNR, we have tramvias/ streetcar that is steam operated. This is the mode of transportation in various streets of Manila from the late 1800s- mid 1900s. It said that this was once the envy of Asia.

PLAZA DE CASTRO

I was taken by surprise when I saw it in the map and told my friends to see this plaza. I am not even sure if this the one since I suck at reading maps. But I am including this here. I didn’t know we have a plaza here. I feel so entitled and honor to have plaza named after our family. Hahaha joke!

SANTUARIO DE SAN JOSE

This is a replica of Santuario de San Jose, also known as the Balanga Cathedral.

PLAZA MAYOR DE TOBIAS

Of all the stories, I forgot about the explanation for this. It has three women holding different things. I forgot the symbolism in this statue. 

LOLA BASYANG

A homage for Lola Basyang’s timeless tales. Lola Basyang became an iconic image of a grandmother gathering her grandchildren for a bedtime story. Her stories became part of the rich local culture of storytelling that has fascinated generations of Filipinos. Lola Basyang is the pen name of Severino Reyes, founder and editor of Liwayway Magazine.

JONES BRIDGE  

Jones Bridge is just near Lola Basyang’s statue. The Jones bridge is connected to Hotel de Oriente and the other side of the resort with heritage houses. One fascinating detail in this bridge it is that it has statues below of mythical creatures in our Philippine Folklore like tikbalang, engkanto and shokoy.  

HOTEL DE ORIENTE

Hotel de Oriente was originally built in 1889 in Binondo, Manila near Binondo Church. It was considered the first premiere luxury hotel in the Philippines. Jose Rizal once stayed at the hotel after arriving from Hong Kong the moment he realizes it was already too late to go home to Calamba, Laguna. During that time, the hotel is also one of the establishments that has a telephone aside from the Malacanang Palace. When the hotel got destroyed at war, it was restored at Las Casas and became a convention center that can hold up to 1,000 people. It is also where the APEC Summit 2015 was held. This hotel holds so much history.

CASA LADRILLO

Casa Ladrillo is one of the heritage houses that perfectly captured the European architecture. Also one of my favorites. It serves as one of the resort’s vacation houses. It is said that it got its name from the Spanish term that translate to the word “bricks”.

LAMBINGAN BRIDGE

I am not that sure about this one. This is said to be the “lambingan bridge”. When I searched for this, this is what it was called. At the center is like an open well made of steel grills and a romantic place where you can make a wish of the love your hear desires.  

ESTERO DE BINONDO

This is the Estero de Binondo. If you will be availing the package for river cruise in a gondola, you’ll be passing by here. It feels like Venice.  

You’ll get to see the beautiful architecture highlighting the verandas. We often get confused with veranda and azotea/ terrace. The azotea is the balcony that can be usually found infront of the house. While verandas can be found at the back of the house.

LA PUESTA DEL SOL

Another one that looks familiar? In Quezon’s Game, this street was part of several scenes in the film. This is one of the most notable. In fact, most of the scenes were filmed here at Las Casas. I just really can’t help not to fangirl every time I pass by the structures that would remind me of it. Every corner became part of the historic film.  

FRONT BEACH

During summer and when the weather is good, there are inflatables at beach front. Unfortunately, the weather is not that good when we got there. There was a low pressure area so no inflatables. But during summer, it is one of the fun activities here at the resort.

I took photo of this arch instead. Arch of the Centuries? Will it bring me back to 1892? I am having I Love You Since 1892 feels again. This is what happens when you read the book before going to Las Casas. Hahaha

A MILLENNIAL WITH AN OLD SOUL

I grew up fascinated with history and architecture. In fact, it is what really urged me to travel to Las Casas. It became part of my bucket list. I was also encouraged by the historical biopic films like Heneral Luna, Goyo and Quezon’s Game. Just recently, I just read the Historical Fiction, “I Love You Since 1892”. I cannot help but remember scenes from the book and imagine it happening here. I feel like I am Carmela Isabella from the 21st Century who accidentally time traveled to 1892 to rewrite the story of Carmelita Montecarlos and Juanito Alfonso.  

NOSTALGIC

“Nostalgic. I think that is the best word to describe my experience and how I feel after visiting Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar. It gives you this longing feeling for the memory you have there. Las Casas is more than a tourism destination or a resort. It is a place for looking back to the grandeur of architecture in 19th Century Philippines. The conservation efforts for each heritage houses has kept its stories and secrets alive after all this time. May we all learn from history and celebrate our rich Filipino culture evident in these structures. For someone who loves history and architecture, this place is a dream come true. I want to go back again someday for new learnings, experiences and memories to long for again. This wraps my Las Casas Story.” –via Instagram @kyna_dc

Las Mejores Películas del 2018

Ya casi llegamos al término de lo que será el 2018 y es momento de hacer una breve recapitulación de lo que su servidor considera como las mejores películas apreciadas a lo largo de este año y que como toda lista se presta a controversias pero bueno, para gustos los colores dice el dicho y espero que todos hayan podido disfrutar del séptimo arte de la mejor manera posible, y la lista de los diez filmes de este 2018 quedan de la siguiente manera:

10. Avengers: Infinity War.

Con todo y que este año fue muy productivo en términos de las cintas de superhéroes que llegaron a la pantalla grande, la que se lleva todas las palmas es sin duda la de los Vengadores y su Guerra del Infinito y es que tantos personajes en pantalla, cada uno con su momento de gloria, muertes inesperadas, acción trepidante y un final triste y desesperanzador hacen de esta la película en la que Thanos logra brillar como el mejor villano del universo cinematográfico de Marvel y en donde no podemos esperar la continuación para el 2019.

9. El Legado del Diablo.

Comenzamos el año con algunas propuestas de terror dignas de estar en esta lista y la primera de ellas es El Legado del Diablo, filme que toma mucho del cine de los setentas con una historia retorcida e interesante en donde las cosas se plantean de manera natural sin necesidad de efectismos baratos y con un nivel de tensión alto en donde una familia deberá pagar las consecuencias de las decisiones tomadas por la matriarca de la familia que muere y a partir de ahí todos caen en un espiral de horror con un inesperado final.

8. Un Lugar en Silencio.

Otra propuesta de terror pero que va en una dirección contraria y que toma el tema de las invasiones extraterrestres para llevarlo por un camino insospechado es uno de los grandes éxitos de este año, un filme con poco o escaso diálogo, una tensión magnífica y un relato sencillo que no requiere mayor nivel de complejidad y que toma decisiones dramáticas acertadas para hacer que el espectador se quede al borde del asiento como muy pocas películas son capaces de hacerlo en la actualidad, esto y mucho más es Un Lugar en Silencio.

7. Misión Imposible: Repercusión.

Una franquicia que más allá de mostrar signos de agotamiento muestra todo lo contrario, en su sexta entrega logra dar un paso más en la dirección correcta en donde la fórmula se replantea y lo logra con un éxito rotundo, Tom Cruise se impone como siempre y nos da las mejores secuencias de acción del año, aunado a una trama interesante aunque no sorprendente y con un reparto de lujo que cumple a cabalidad con su cometido y este filme es la clara muestra de que no se necesita reiniciar para que un producto como éste pueda funcionar.

6. Infiltrado en el KKKlan.

Spike Lee nos logra entregar un cinta interesante basada en un hecho de la vida real con un trasfondo crítico sobre el mundo actual, en el que un grupo de policías se infiltran en esta organización para evitar un atentado en un momento cumbre de la lucha de los afroamericanos por defender su derecho a la igualdad, el tono y el desarrollo son salvajes y llenos de un sentido del humor sátiro en donde todo funciona de maravilla, si hay una propuesta que reivindique el poder negro es esta y no la propuesta de Marvel que nos quieren meter con calzador.

5. Isla de Perros.

Wes Anderson nos regala otra joya en adorable stop motion para contar una historia interesante con varias lecturas de fondo, los perros son abandonados en una isla a morir a su suerte, cuando un niño decide ir a rescatar a su peludo de la fatal suerte que le espera en ese lugar, el relato esta compuesto por momentos gloriosos, sublimes, con el particular sentido del humor de su director y una puesta en escena extraordinaria en donde técnica-historia-fondo se unen para realizar criticas imperialistas sobre el racismo en la sociedad actual.

4. Tres Anuncios por un Crimen.

Esta es la historia de la lucha de una mujer por justicia, su hija violada y asesinada en un pueblo de la américa rural tiene resonancias actuales y varias lecturas interesantes sobre a quienes protege la ley, un relato amargo, crudo, con personajes entrañables, miserables, que no buscan nada más que estar en paz con el universo pero este no da concesiones, una pena que haya sido ignorada brutalmente en la pasada entrega de los Oscars.

3. Guerra Fría.

Una historia de amor en medio de la guerra es un ingrediente que siempre logra funcionar, aunado a ello le agregamos música, folclore, escape de la realidad nacional, sentirse ajeno a todos los lugares a los que vamos por no sentirlos como casa y un tormentoso pasado que siempre persigue y alcanza en los momentos más inesperados, esto y más es la joya proveniente del Ganador al Oscar por Ida y que se perfila como una de las favoritas a excepción de otra que le ha robado la atención en los últimos meses.

2. Roma.

Alfonso Cuarón logra con esta cinta introducir elementos del cinema verité y del neorrealismo italiano al cine mexicano, con un resultado por demás interesante, que desde el espacio privado logra mostrar muchos elementos de un momento turbulento en México durante la década de los setentas; dos personajes femeninos de diferentes clases sociales que luchan por seguir adelante a pesar de sus vicisitudes, con un ojo y una visión clara; una obra llena de simbolismos y lecturas que muestran que se puede hacer un cine íntimo sin recurrir a grandes artificios siempre que se tenga claro que es lo que se quiere contar.

 1. La Forma del Agua.

Independientemente de su triunfo en el Oscar, esta es una de las propuestas de Guillermo del Toro más maduras que hemos visto, un cuento de hadas moderno que se respira moderno y profundo, con todas las señas de identidad de su director en donde la violencia, la fotografía, el diseño de producción, la música, los actores, todo esta en un alto grado de inspiración que hacen de esta propuesta una de esas cintas que no se olvidan y que con el paso del tiempo la gente reconocerá su verdadero valor como un clásico indiscutible del género fantástico.

Realeza y Hollywood presentes en Wimbledon

Realeza y Hollywood presentes en Wimbledon

 La presencia de realeza y Hollywood dio brillo y glamour a la final de mujeres de Wimbledon. El actor Tom Cruise provocó una pequeña conmoción cuando se paró para saludar a la multitud que lo aplaudía y permitió al menos a una jovencita que se tomara una selfie con él. El príncipe Guillermo y su esposa Kate recibieron una ovación al ocupar sus asientos. Pero cuando Kate y el duque de Kent…

[alexserna]

Sabemos que para muchas personas las cosas no volverán a ser como antes. Y aunque el ánimo no mejora para todos –al menos me pasa a mí-, tenemos la obligación de seguir adelante. No ayuda mucho al espíritu iniciar tu semana recordado que en el país del norte cualquier demente puede comprar un arma de fuego amparado por su Constitución. El horror de la ficción siempre será mejor que el de la realidad. Como una forma de catarsis, jamás de olvido, tratemos de retomar asuntos que estábamos tratando. Hoy, más que nunca, debemos aferrarnos a las cosas buenas. Recordemos lo que dijo el motivador de estas líneas. “La razón por la que estoy vivo, articulado y casi cuerdo son los monstruos”.

  Unos días antes del enorme triunfo que todos aplaudimos el 9 de septiembre pasado, Guillermo del Toro concedió una entrevista al periódico Los Angeles Times, donde habló de La forma del agua, la película que motivó esa victoria. Desde su avance es evidente que su fuente de inspiración fue la cinta clásica La criatura de la Laguna Negra (Jack Arnold, 1954), la cual se incrustó en su cabeza (y su corazón) desde que tenía 6 años. “No como una historia, sino como una idea.  Cuando vi a la Criatura nadando bajo Julie Adams pensé en tres cosas: Hubba-hubba, esta es la cosa más poética que jamás veré y espero que terminen juntos”.

Como dije hace poco, la película fue producida en la última etapa de la era dorada de Universal Pictures y, a diferencia de sus antecesores, el inolvidable anfibio –conocido cono Gill-man– no fue creado por el talentoso Jack Pierce o por su sucesor Bud Westmore, sino por la artista Millicent Patrick. La criatura de la Laguna Negra es el más joven de los monstruos clásicos del estudio. A diferencia de sus hermanos mayores, no cuenta con antecedentes literarios. Tampoco es consecuencia de los excesos de la era atómica, como muchos de sus contemporáneos. Es simplemente un ser con un sustento completamente natural que escapó de la vista del hombre moderno hasta que éste invadió su hábitat –su refugio- en el Amazonas. En las escenas en tierra fue interpretado por el actor Ben Chapman y en las secuencias acuáticas por el nadador –convertido después en actor, director y guionista- Ricou Browning, quien ayudó al equipo de producción a encontrar las locaciones apropiadas en Wakulla Springs, Florida. Después de todo, conocía bien el lugar –era originario de ese estado-. Browning es recordado por ser el único actor constante en sus dos secuelas, La venganza de la Criatura (Jack Arnold, 1955) y La Criatura camina entre nosotros (John Sherwood, 1956). Una curiosidad de la segunda es que en ella debutó un joven actor de 26 años llamado Clint Eastwood, en el papel de un técnico de laboratorio de apellido Jennings y por el cual no recibió ningún crédito.

A pesar que La criatura de la Laguna Negra ha dejado una honda huella en la cultura popular, no ha sido explotada con la misma frecuencia que los monstruos fundadores de la camada. Posiblemente sus propietarios se dieron cuenta de ello y han sugerido la intención de integrarla al que llamaron su Universo Oscuro, que a más de uno ha decepcionado –y disgustado- por su carácter completamente mercantil, nada respetuoso con los orígenes del estudio, y que inició con el pie izquierdo en la muy reciente La Momia (Alex Kurtzman, 2017). Cuando el reclutador de talentos Henry Jekyll (Russell Crowe) da una visita guiada a las instalaciones de su organización anti-monstruos Prodigium al simpático militar Nick Morton (Tom Cruise), observamos en un contenedor la garra del ser, justo como sucedió el su presentación cinematográfica en 1954.

Una criatura semejante fue avistada tres años después en nuestro país por Espergencio Godínez de la Macorra y Macorro (Pedro de Aguillón), en el híbrido de comedia rural y cinta de horror El pantano de las ánimas (Rafael Baledón, 1957). En ella el mostrajo en cuestión resultaba ser un rufián disfrazado que era parte de un plan por apoderarse de las tierras de la zona, desenmascarado al final en el mejor estilo de Scooby-Doo. Pero todo es recompensado con creces con el número musical del gallardo Gastón Santos y su caballo Rayo de Plata, la mejor dupla heroica.

The S&C Oscar Round-Up

Last night, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences held the 92nd Academy Awards. Below you will find the winners in each of the major categories, their fellow nominees, as well as a couple of notes about each category and winner. Without further ado, the winners:

Best Picture

Ford v. Ferrari

The Irishman

Joker

Jojo Rabbit

Little Women

Marriage Story

1917

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Parasite

At one point in this shortened Oscar season, a majority of these films were in a real conversation to win Best Picture. Netflix put The Irishman on everyone’s radar last year with a Super Bowl teaser, though it something that cinephiles knew was coming for a long time. Early into last fall, it seemed likely that it was going to win Best Picture. As the luster of The Irishman fell off, Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was given a second look by all, it was seen as a possible consensus pick and a movie about movie-making always seems to do well on Hollywood’s biggest stage. When nominations were announced and Joker was given 11, the most of the year, it entered the conversation and questions like “What happens if Joker wins?” were asked. Though 1917 was released very late in the awards season and skipped all the festivals, it still racked up a handful of awards that usually serve as a precursor to winning Best Picture - the PGA award for Best Theatrical Film, the BAFTA for Best Film, the DGA for Outstanding Directing, and the Golden Globe for Best Picture Drama. After taking the WGA Adapted Screenplay prize there were quiet conversations that maybe Jojo Rabbit, which was flush with nominations from the DGA and PGA might have a chance to breakthrough. And then there was the hope among some throughout the tail end of the awards season that Parasite would prevail and be the first non-English speaking film to win Best Picture. And it did. At what point in the night did that become abundantly clear? After Sam Mendes lost for Best Director, the writing was on the wall for 1917, since 1970 no film has won Best Picture without a win in directing, writing, or acting. After that, there was no question that Parasite would take the night’s top prize and make its own history.

Parasite is interesting to me because it definitely illustrates a shift in how Americans view foreign films. After watching Parasite, I thought to myself that if this film had come out ten years ago it would have been wrongly ignored by Hollywood until it was remade in English with an American cast by David Fincher and gone on to sweep the Oscars. Obviously, I was thinking about the 2002 Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs, a movie which I admit to having never seen, which was remade by Martin Scorsese in 2006 as The Departed which went on to win four Academy Awards including Best Picture. I believe that Parasite director Bong Joon Ho put it perfectly in his acceptance speech at the Golden Globes last month, “Once you overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films.” He is questionably right.

Eight of the nine Best Picture nominated films took home an Oscar last night, the lone loser of the group? The Irishman, the film that started this only campaign a year ago.

Best Director

Bong Joon Ho, Parasite

Sam Mendes, 1917

Todd Phillips, Joker

Martin Scorsese, The Irishman

Quentin Tarantino, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Bong Joon Ho and Sam Mendes were the clear front-runners for Best Director going into the ceremony. Mendes at this point in the season had been cleaning up on directing awards winning the BAFTA, DGA, and Golden Globe awards for Best Director. Regardless of which man one, it was continued an interesting trend for the decade, only one American director has won Best Director over the last ten years (Damien Chazelle for La La Land). Which is quite the change from only three non-Americans (Roman Polanski for The Pianist, Ang Lee for Brokeback Mountain, and Danny Boyle for Slumdog Millionaire). The past decade has brought American audiences amazing films from visionary directors from around the world like Bong Joon Ho, Alejandro G. Iñárritu   Alfonso Cuarón, Guillermo del Toro, Ang Lee, and Michel Hazanavicius. 

Hopefully, now we can get a female director back on stage next year.

Best Actress

Cynthia Erivo, Harriet

Scarlett Johansson, Marriage Story

Saoirse Ronan, Little Women

Charlize Theron, Bombshell

Renee Zellweger, Judy

The rest of the awards were all won by the favorites in their categories including Renee Zellweger who had already taken home a BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild award for her portrayal of Judy Garland. Fun fact, Judy was the only feature-length non-documentary film to win an Oscar last night that I had not seen. If there was going to be a surprise in any of the acting categories, I was hoping it would happen here (Johansson and Ronan has superb performances this year) but alas, it did not. At least it will be a fun reunion next year when Zellweger hands Tom Cruise the Academy Award for Best Actor in Top Gun: Maverick.

Best Actor

Antonio Banderas, Pain and Glory

Leonardo DiCaprio, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood

Adam Driver, A Marriage Story

Joaquin Phoenix, Joker

Jonathan Pryce, The Two Popes

A fun little stat was circling last night after Joaquin Phoenix won the Best Actor award for Joker: 

In 1989, an Oscar winner plays the Joker (Jack Nicholson).  In 2008, the Joker portrayer wins an Oscar (Heath Ledger).  In 2016, an Oscar winner plays the Joker (Jared Leto). In 2019, the Joker portrayer wins an Oscar (Joaquin Phoenix).

The only other role that comes close to that kind of Oscar pedigree is that of Vito Corleone which Marlon Brando won an Oscar for playing in The Godfather, and then two years later in The Godfather II, Robert De Niro won one for playing the younger version.

Good luck to the next person tapped to play the Clown Prince of Crime.

Best Supporting Actress

Kathy Bates, Richard Jewell

Laura Dern, Marriage Story

Scarlett Johansson, Jojo Rabbit

Florence Pugh, Little Women

Margot Robbie, Bombshell

Lauren Dern took the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Marriage Story where she took Noah Baumbach’s amazing screenplay and did wonders with it. There are two scenes in particular where her performance completely takes over the film and those are the mediation scene and the courtroom scene, in both, she pulls off a masterclass in acting.

Best Supporting Actor

Tom Hanks, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Anthony Hopkins, The Two Popes

Al Pacino, The Irishman

Joe Pesci, The Irishman

Brad Pitt, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood

At the beginning of the awards season, there was concern that Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt would both be competing in the Best Actor category since they both equally carry Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. In the end, it was decided to put Brad Pitt in the supporting category which does make a little sense since his character spends the whole movie supporting DiCaprio’s. In the end, Pitt took home the statuette, one of only two the film won last night.
