Re: New York Film Critics Circle Awards
Can't say I'd even noticed the Spider-Man reviews, and, looking at the three trades, I can't say they seem THAT enthusiastic to me. But I guess, in a year where the competition is two sequels and a good/not great Wes Anderson effort, another film in the LEGO movie mode is enough to carry the day.
Nothing else seems deeply surprising, although it's interesting that for once NY ducked the box office-popular choice in Non-Fiction.

You're probably right. Roma probably has this.Mister Tee wrote
All of which is driving at this: A Star is Born's 88, while impressive on its own, doesn't seem to elevate it into this company. So, I'm dubious.

Re: New York Film Critics Circle Awards
We discussed that point elsewhere (and months ago). My post was mostly trying to point out that I could see where they were going with potentially putting Emma Stone in the lead category after having actually seen the film.Reza wrote:Colman would easily win if placed in support. In the lead category she will have to contend with Close who has a strong sentimental factor attached.flipp525 wrote:I felt like an initial argument that I seem to remember hearing, promoting Emma Stone as the lead was, if not ideal (I agree with BJ that the film is a three-lead one), at least suppprted by some attempts at a rationale. Stone’s character has, I’m pretty sure, the most screentime, Weisz disappears for a small bit, and Colman - while the clear stand-out and central by the very nature of her character - seems like she’s missing while the two Favourites are sparring.
It would be interesting to see if the Academy nominates any of the actresses in categories for which the studios have not been promoting them. Something like Kate Winslet’s The Reader placement.
It’s fairly likely that Colman would sweep if she were put in supporting (which could very well still happen).

Re: New York Film Critics Circle Awards
Ryan O'Neal could ostensibly be considered the sole lead in Paper Moon, but there is no one in Skippy who can fill that role other than Cooper.Uri wrote:I was thinking of Cooper being looked at the way Tatum O'Neal was - being the obvious lead of her film yet relegated to support because of her age.Big Magilla wrote:Cooper would have been quite a stretch, considering he's in every scene in Skippy. More likely, he would have been nominated for Best Actor for that and for Best Supporting Actor the following year for The Champ.Uri wrote:It's not that before the 1936 awards there was no supporting category - there simply was only one acting category per gender with no distinction based on the nature and size of the performance. So in the case of Mutiny on the Bounty, it shouldn't be seen as three leading performances from the same film (it's obviously two leads and one supporting) being nominated in the same category. Louise Dresser, Lewis Stone, Jackie Cooper (for the wrong reasons) Frank Morgan and indeed Tone would have all been nominated in supporting had it been available in the first 6 years of the awards.
