I am one of the 200,000+ patients affected by this, and having struggled with approximately 10,000 phone calls, messages, and faxes (yes, these people still insist on faxes in the year of our lord 2026), I can honestly say that I wish the very worst for both sides. www.cbsnews.com/amp/newyork/...

You might be surprised at the number of things that are left out of a holiday speech that runs less than three minutes and is intended to make a specific point.
Also, please watch that video. It's not what you think it will be, and it's remarkable--as far from the usual boilerplate as you can imagine.
This is too slick. No, wait, I mean awkward and unpolished. I think what I'm trying to say is it's crafty. You know, calculated and cunning. Stiff, possibly. I don't know, it's very political? Overthought. No, wait, underthought. He says he's socialist but wears a suit? Seems off. Op-ed to follow.
He is maybe the ONLY reliable big box-office draw right now. His last five movies (I'll factor out Bones and All) have grossed a combined $2 billion worldwide. Complete Unknown was one of Searchlight's 10 biggest movies ever; Marty Supreme is A24's all-time top grosser.
I think it was March 5, about a day after the ballet/opera thing started. Really not a factor.
One last thing: Chalamet lost for the same reason Hawke and Moura and DiCaprio did--because Michael B. Jordan won. Academy votes are not like internet posts: Most people vote affirmatively, because a performance thrilled or moved or delighted them. They almost never vote primarily to block someone.
...but as he contemplates his next career move--and I do want to note that, with five hits in a row, he is in no kind of real trouble--I hope he considers either an ensemble piece or something in which his work will be describable as generous to his costars. On screen, or on stage, or both. x
Again, leaving personality out of it, I think that has subtly contributed to a lot of the "It's all about him"/"What an egomaniac" stuff that, don't @ me, I think is largely, though not 100& unearned. I'm writing this because I think he's an extraordinary talent whose best work is still ahead... >
...but it's interesting to me that in the big hit movies that have made him a star--Dune, Wonka, Complete Unknown, and Marty Supreme--he is four different versions of a solo act, a one-man show. We are watching him do his thing on his own more than we're watching him interact with others. >
My why-Chalamet-lost analysis does not have to do with any personality issues or the ballet thing: People in and out of the industry started to fall in love with him because of the emotional connection he made to other actors in Call Me by Your Name, Lady Bird, and Little Women... >
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the book.
Nobody's lost more acting Oscars than Meryl Streep. Comes with the territory of setting records.
Correction: Man in the Glass Booth (Maximilian Schell) was an AFT production. James Whitmore in Give Em Hell, Harry was literally a filmed play (shot in "Theatrovision"!) and Glenda Jackson in Hedda was a little more cinematic. Ellen Burstyn infamously said they should cancel Best Actress that year.
That may have been a little extreme.
Yep, and Maximilian Schell. Odd to me that they couldn't see their way to Scheider or Dreyfuss for Jaws (or Shaw for supporting actor).
What's weird about that Oscar year is that, despite a historically great Best Picture lineup, Best Actor and Actress were so thin that in order to fill out the categories, voters had to nominate three performances from a series called American Film Theater that was essentially filmed plays.
This year was close to what the original idea was: It made room for one big popular hit (F1) and at least two arty films that would never have made the top 5 (The Secret Agent and Train Dreams). And an argument could be made that it meant nothing.
