2023 Screen Actors Guild Nominations

-

The SAG awards came in hot after the Globes and blessed us with a few great surprises! There is so much to love here and it's really only the TV categories I had *big* issues with. Below are a list of the nominees + my thoughts

Ensemble Cast in a Motion Picture
Babylon
The Banshees of Inisherin
Everything Everywhere All at Once
The Fabelmans
Women Talking
I LOVE Babylon being here and Inisherin is a surprise considering the main 4 actors also got individual nominations. If I had it my way, I would've swapped The Fabelmans for The Woman King or Glass Onion. Not that the Fabelmans had a bad cast, but I just hate Michelle Williams' performance in it that much. 

Male Actor in a Leading Role in a Motion Picture
Austin Butler, “Elvis”
Colin Farrell, “The Banshees of Inisherin”
Brendan Fraser, “The Whale”
Bill Nighy, “Living”
Adam Sandler, “Hustle”
WHO saw Adam Sandler coming? I didn't. Was he on ANYONE's list? I thought he was good in Hustle so this is quite the surprise. I'm still team Farrell.

Female Actor in a Leading Role in a Motion Picture
Cate Blanchett, “TÁR”
Viola Davis, “The Woman King”
Ana de Armas, “Blonde”
Danielle Deadwyler, “Till”
Michelle Yeoh, “Everything Everywhere All at Once”
Danielle Deadwyler getting a nomination! I would love it if this were the Oscar line up. 5/5 no notes. 

Male Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture
Paul Dano, “The Fabelmans”
Brendan Gleeson, “The Banshees of Inisherin”
Barry Keoghan, “The Banshees of Inisherin”
Ke Huy Quan, “Everything Everywhere All at Once”
Eddie Redmayne, “The Good Nurse”
My manifesting Paul Dano into a nomination worked! I don't think Eddie will be here Oscar night. I'm surprised to see he was the one that made the cut. Brenden, Barry and Ke Huy feel like locks at this point.

Female Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture
Angela Bassett, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”
Hong Chau, “The Whale”
Kerry Condon, “The Banshees of Inisherin”
Jamie-Lee Curtis, “Everything Everywhere All at Once”
Stephanie Hsu, “Everything Everywhere All at Once”
STEPHANIE HSU!! I'm so happy. 

Ensemble in a Drama Series
Better Call Saul
The Crown
Ozark
Severance
The White Lotus
House of the Dragon not being here is a shame. They are far more memorable than The Crown this season.

Male Actor in a Drama Series
Jonathan Banks, “Better Call Saul”
Jason Bateman, “Ozark”
Jeff Bridges, “The Old Man”
Bob Odenkirk, “Better Call Saul”
Adam Scott, “Severance”
For the love of God LET Bob Odenkirk win something.

Female Actor in a Drama Series
Jennifer Coolidge, “The White Lotus”
Elizabeth Debicki, “The Crown”
Julia Garner, “Ozark”
Laura Linney, “Ozark”
Zendaya, “Euphoria”
Again with The Crown. No Rhae Seehorn for Better Call Saul? Not Sydney Sweeney for Euphoria? None of the other White Lotus women? We could've done better.

Ensemble in a Comedy Series
Abbott Elementary
Barry
The Bear
Hacks
Only Murders in the Building
I truly do not get the love for Only Murder. Something like Reservations Dogs or What We Do in the Shadows would've been a cooler nomination. Even Marvelous Mrs. Masiel, then Stephanie Hsu would be a double nominee.

Male Actor in a Comedy Series
Anthony Carrigan, “Barry”
Bill Hader, “Barry”
Steve Martin, “Only Murders in the Building”
Martin Short, “Only Murders in the Building”
Jeremy Allen White, “The Bear”
I love seeing Anthony Carrigan get some love. I'm for Jeremy Allen White again.

Female Actor in a Comedy Series
Christina Applegate, “Dead to Me”
Rachel Brosnahan, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”
Quinta Brunson, “Abbott Elementary”
Jenna Ortega, “Wednesday”
Jean Smart, “Hacks”

Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series
Steve Carell, “The Patient”
Taron Edgerton, “Blackbird”
Sam Elliott, “1883”
Paul Walter Houser, “Blackbird”
Evan Peters, “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story”
Steve Carell for The Patient! He and Domnhall Gleeson were so good in that. I weep for Andrew Garfield and the far superior Under The Banner of Heaven though.

Female Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series
Emily Blunt, “The English”
Jessica Chastain, “George & Tammy”
Julia Garner, “Inventing Anna”
Niecy Nash-Betts, “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story”
Amanda Seyfried, “The Dropout”
I have never even heard of The English. 

Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture
Avatar: The Way of Water
The Batman
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Top Gun: Maverick
The Woman King

Stunt Ensemble in a Comedy or Drama Series
Andor
The Boys
House of the Dragon
Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
Stranger Things”

      Sandler felt like he came out of nowhere. I really liked Carrell's performance in The Patient, even if that series had a very divisive ending.

    I think there's a weird part of me that wants to see Adam Sandler win a SAG award just for the stupid speech he will have and to see all of those actors be pissed that they lost to Bobby Boucher.

    I read last night for the taping of AEW Rampage, Paul Walter Hauser showed up to show his Golden Globe as he was just excited... until ugh... Jeff Jarrett showed up with Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, and Satnam Singh to ruin it and the Man Who is Fond of Slapping Nutz yet Never Drew a Dime hit Hauser with his guitar. I can't fucking stand Slapnutz as he is the one thing in AEW that makes me change the channel. Hauser better get some revenge and send Slapnutz back to Memphis.

      Apparently I need to watch Black Bird when I get Apple TV back...whenever Ted Lasso S3 decides to come out.

    I am Team Women Talking for Best Ensemble and Team Bassett in Best Supporting Actress. Yes, Team Farrell as well. He could've gotten a Best Supporting nod for The Batman, too!

      I still can't believe that was him under all that makeup. *Brando voice* Look what they did to my boy!

Review: The Batman

-

Bruce Wayne (Robert Pattinson) has quietly been trying to make a difference as The Batman in Gotham. He can't be everywhere. He works closely with Lt Jim Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) and they face a puzzling crime by a masked murderer going by The Riddler. (Paul Dano) As the stakes get higher, they realize just how deep corruption runs in Gotham.  The Batman is first and foremost a detective story. Director Matt Reeves obviously took inspiration from films like Se7en and Zodiac when he crafted this story. S e7en is one of my all time favorite films, so that worked well for me. I loved seeing Batman and Gordon work as a team. Same with Batman and Selina. (Zoe Kravitz) They ooze chemistry. As much as I love the Nolan trilogy, Christian Bale only really had good chemistry with Maggie Gyllenhaal. Here, Pattinson and Kravitz click together instantly.  I'll admit I was worried about Pattinson as Batman. His Bruce is VERY mopey, which fits with the story. My main issue with the movie,

Thursday Movie Picks: Wedding Movies

How fitting that Wandering Through The Shelves has us start the month of June with movies about weddings. June brides are a thing, right? At least that's what people kept telling me when I got married in June. I just picked it because it was warm. To be honest, I don't like many wedding movies, so this was kind of tough, but here's a few I can tolerate. 1) Wedding Crashers This is one of my favorite comedies until the last 20 minutes or so when it falls flat on its face. But it's so hilarious and quotable before all of that, I can forgive it. Lock it up. 2) Rachel Getting Married I used this one for a pick last year but it's easily my favorite movie involving a wedding. The acting is fantastic. I 3) Corpse Bride Truth be told, I wasn't crazy about Corpse Bride, but like I said. Slim pickings in the wedding movie world for me. I'd watch this over a "classic" like My Best Friend's Wedding or Runaway Bride any day.  click th

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing Bobby, and the
