Oscar nominations 2023: Andrea Riseborough shock and other talking points
By Steven McIntoshEntertainment reporter
Awards pundits are still picking their jaws off the floor after Tuesday's Oscar nominations.
Despite enjoying a flurry of late celebrity support, many Oscar-watchers felt British actress Andrea Riseborough had too high a hill to climb to score a nomination in the highly competitive best actress category.
But on Tuesday, she was nominated for her performance in To Leslie , in which she plays an alcoholic mother from Texas who tries to make ends meet after squandering her lottery winnings.
There is No Doubt that Riseborough is impressive in The Film , but the nod took even her by surprise. " I'm astounded, " after the nominations were unveiled. " It's such an unexpected ray of Light . . I'm not entirely sure how this happened. "
Well, we have a bit of an Idea - and it involves Gwyneth Paltrow , Edward Norton , Courteney Cox , Susan Sarandon , Charlize Theron , Jennifer Aniston , Kate Winslet , Mark Ruffalo , Sarah Paulson and Amy Adams .
They are just a few of the Hollywood A-listers who got behind To Leslie - voicing their support for The Film on Social Media in the dying days of voting, and in some cases even hosting their own screenings.
It became a bit of a running joke in recent days that many posts championing The Film calling To Leslie a " small film with a giant heart". But the copy-and-paste tweets and Instagram posts were driven by an apparently genuine admiration.
The efforts to get The Film on to The Academy 's radar were ultimately successful, but it's hard to overstate how unusual Riseborough's campaign has been.
To Leslie , which reportedly only made $27,000 (£21,800) at the Box Office when it first opened. (Having said that, it did make at least an extra £4. 50 last week when this reporter paid to rent it on a well-known streaming service. )
The Film premiered at South by Southwest last March. Unlike Toronto, Venice or Cannes, SXSW is not one of The Film festivals considered a key part of the awards race and The Film went largely unnoticed.
" After SXSW there was a quiet lull, " Riseborough recalled. " And Then slowly, as The Film had a few screenings Elsewhere - including at Raindance, which was a Big Deal because we hadn't had a release in the UK - we found people were starting to talk about it.
" And people were asking us, 'Why can I not go and see it? Where can I see it?' After a while, we were able to point them to iTunes and Amazon, but it didn't happen right away. "
Still, a nomination seemed like a Long Shot . " It was so hard To Believe it might ever happen because we really hadn't been in the running for Anything Else , " Riseborough commented.
Crucially, The Team behind The Film uploaded it to The Academy 's viewing portal, which meant voters could access it more easily. Meanwhile, the nominations it netted at The Independent Spirit Awards, which recognise small indie films, certainly didn't hurt.
The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.However, some expressed scepticism that the campaign was anything other than contrived.
" There are people saying this is such a beautiful, organic movement, and I've got to tell you, this is not organic, " " [Riseborough] has a very well-connected manager, she is well-respected by actors, and they just took this moment to launch this campaign, and it is a campaign. "
Riseborough's nomination is somewhat humbling for the many awards watchers who usually pride themselves on predicting which way things will go, based on the countless films they've watched and their sense of momentum on the ground.
As " We are going to talk about the Andrea Riseborough campaign for DECADES to come. "
We'll certainly be talking about it until the Oscars ceremony on 12 March. Here are just four of the other talking points from this year's nominations:
1. A weaker year for streamingStreaming services have not had as strong a year at the Oscars as they did in 2022, when Apple became the first streamer to win best picture with Coda.
This year, Netflix's All Quiet On The Western Front is the only nominee from a streaming service in the top category.
It is notable that despite Netflix putting a lot of campaign effort into Glass Onion and Pinocchio, they both scored just one nomination each.
In contrast, All Quiet did not initially seem as strong a contender for the streamer - until it started showing up prominently at precursor ceremonies, at which point the marketing was stepped up a gear. It has now secured nine nods at the Oscars.
All of the other best picture contenders were released in cinemas - although some have since become available on streaming. The Banshees of Inisherin, for example, is on Disney+ just three months after it was released on the big screen.
In total, streaming services got about half the number of nominations they did a year ago. Netflix, Apple and Amazon accounted for 19 total nominations, down from 37 last year.
Despite the distinct possibility that Netflix's All Quiet could win best picture, the weaker year for streaming overall may partly reflect a return to cinema releases following the pandemic.
2. Mescal reflects strong year for IrelandFour actors were considered locks for best actor, and all were nominated on Tuesday (Bill Nighy, Colin Farrell, Austin Butler and Brendan Fraser), but there had been much debate about who would score the fifth slot.
Somewhat surprisingly, it ended up being Irish actor Paul Mescal for his performance in the terrific Aftersun. The Film sees him play a young Scottish father grappling with how to raise his daughter.
" This is bananas! " Mescal said of his nomination. " To be recognised by The Academy is such an insane honour and I'm so utterly grateful. "
He was part of a very strong showing for Irish actors and talent. The Banshees of Inisherin alone scored four acting nods (Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon) in addition to best picture and best director for Martin McDonagh.
Elsewhere , An Cailín Ciúin/The Quiet Girl became the first ever in the Irish-language film to be nominated for best international feature. The enjoyable and understated film tells the story about a shy young girl who goes to stay with distant relatives for the summer.
Writer and director Colm Bairéad said The Team behind The Film were " honoured beyond words" to be recognised.
3. Record breakers for Marvel (and sequels)Angela Bassett became the first actor in history to be nominated for a performance in a Marvel film.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever sees Bassett reprise her role as Queen Ramonda, the mother of the late Chadwick Boseman's character T'Challa.
But while Wakanda Forever missed best picture, the nominations for Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water ensured a record was still broken for The Most sequels to make it into the best picture list in a single year.
4. Brian Tyree Henry and other surprisesBrian Tyree Henry, who stars opposite Jennifer Lawrence in Apple's excellent Causeway, scored an unexpected nomination in the best supporting actor category.
This was a huge but very welcome surprise. Henry plays a mechanic who befriends Lawrence's character as she begins recovering from a traumatic brain injury.
Other surprises included Hong Chau making it into the best supporting actress shortlist for The Whale, and Ana de Armas being nominated for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in the divisive Blonde, just a day after it was nominated for several Razzies.
Sadly, there were as many snubs as there were surprises, perhaps most notably Danielle Deadwyler, who was widely expected to be recognised for her outstanding performance in Till. Other notable absences included Olivia Colman and Eddie Redmayne.
