Oscars in years. Potentially because no one has seen most of the films nominated.
“What’s a CODA”, you ask? Well, probably our newest Best Picture winner. But that’s the weird new world of cinema, where the best films of the year – at least in the eyes of the Academy – are ones that mostly bombed at the multiplex or were inescapable for a few days on Netflix or Apple TV before vanishing from cultural memory.
In general, though, this year’s Oscars aren’t very objectionable. While the surge in support for the very treacly CODA – about the only hearing member of a deaf family – is bizarre, likewise the love for The Eyes of Tammy Faye’s Jessica Chastain and Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast, there’s a lot to celebrate here.
There’s first-time nominee – but not in our hearts – Kirsten Dunst; breakthrough performances from Ariana DeBose and Kodi Smit-McPhee being recognised; and consistently brilliant character actors such as Aunjanue Ellis and Jesse Plemons finally receiving Oscar kudos. True to form, though, the films and performances most overlooked are also the prickliest of the year: Lady Gaga being broad and provocative in House of Gucci, the psychological messiness of Simon Rex in Red Rocket, the backwards-strutting, camp-as-Christmas parasitic twin of James Wan’s Malignant.

.The 2022 Academy Awards have come to a close, marking the end of this year’s awards season.
Last year’s Academy Awards was scaled-back and while the pandemic isn’t over yet, you wouldn’t know it from how this year’s Oscars ceremony was put together along with serving alcohol to maskless celebrities which might have been a poor choice in the wake of the BAFTAs turning into a super-spreader event. Then again, COVID-19 won’t likely end up being the most talked-about aspect of the awards.
