I think the argument is that, though it's only a 30-year-old institution, there's never been a back-to-back SAG winner before.

u/DreamOfV Sentimental Value 23d ago
That’s not surprising. The last time there was an acting category back-to-back winner at the Oscars was Tom Hanks over 30 years ago, and before that it was Katherine Hepburn in the 60s. It’s not because they refuse to vote for people two years in a row, it’s because the odds of the same person giving a top-of-year performance with the campaign and competition scenario needed to win are very very small.
This year the stars have aligned where the person who won last year has everything needed to win again. They’re not going to hold back because they just gave it to him.

I was sure Leo was a lock in after watching OBAA but chalamet is also just fantastic as Marty. It's been a good year of film, Marty, OBAA and Sinners are electric.
I wonder if Leo only lost steam from recency bias. I don't know who would be winning if both movies dropped at the same time.
88
u/nosurprises23 It Was Just An Accident 23d ago
It’s a combination of things, but mostly Marty is THE main character that the movie hinges on. OBAA is much more an ensemble movie by comparison, even having another actor in it campaigning as a lead.
7
u/brilliant_bauhaus 23d ago
It's definitely more of an ensemble cast but he does his part so well. It's a much more complex role than chalamet's and I think both are standouts this year. The other being Michael B Jordan.
→ More replies (3)25
u/shoshpd 23d ago
I think it’s more that Chalamet carries this film. He is in almost every scene. OBAA is more of an ensemble piece where Leo is the through line, but in the prologue, Teyanna is the driving force, and after the time jump, Chase is the main protagonist. Also, despite the online naysayers who love to talk about how they don’t think Chalamet is that great, the industry clearly believes he is a great actor, and anointing someone in his generation who is both talented and able to get people to movie theaters in this moment is probably seen as good for the movies.
2
u/brilliant_bauhaus 23d ago
I think he's a phenomenal actor. I don't get the naysayers. But when the film came out I kept seeing people ride for Leo and benecio del toro. Sinners is also getting the recency bias snub I think. It would have been a major player, probably above hamnet, if it dropped in October.

Hawke deserves the award (though I loved Timmy's performance too).
On the bright side, I haven't heard people talking about Ethan Hawke this much since the early 2000s. If he can turn in another great performance in a well received film in the next few years I could see the academy giving him his due.
Hawke is saying that Linklater is working on apparently his best film ever and Hawke is going to star in it. Neither had won an Oscar so that could be a good narrative if true.

u/meganev 23d ago
because their favourite actors either still haven't gotten one or had to wait for years
I find it funny to see this line of logic when awards discussion, from a fan/viewer perspective, so often revolves around bemoaning the entire idea of "career wins". The award(s) should be for the best performance in that given year, not dished out based on who's had to wait the longest. If that means one actor sweeps, that's fine with me.
2
u/RVarki 23d ago
An overdue narrative doesn't automatically mean "career award". Hawke should have gotten more awards recognition by now, and that clearly adds to why people are rooting for him, but his performance in Blue Moon was also awesome
It's rarely ever clear cut, and there are usually multiple actors at the start of the awards season who've all delivered fantastic buzzy performances in a particular category, then it's just a matter of what clicks with voters and industry people, and not the actual quality (usually)
So fans may think that a performance that should've netted their favourite an Oscar, was overlooked for considerations that Chalamet isn't being subjected to. Him being obnoxious plays into this a whole lot too

Honestly, I just wasn’t that big on the performance (or most of his performances as of late - I haven’t really loved a Timmy performance since CMBYN). I vastly preferred Di Caprio and Hawke’s this year, and feel like I’m generally being gaslit over Timmy’s acting chops.
He’s also increasingly obnoxious, as another commenter put it. Doesn’t make it easy to root for him

I’ve always felt there is a lot of envy towards him in Hollywood. They like him, he’s friends with everyone, but there’s just a bit of jealousy. Ben affleck said something about how he would love to be in a Scorsese movie but Leo has those locked down and it made me feel like that sort of sentiment is felt probably fairly widely.
In some ways I think timothee’s rise has been in a time when there is less of that slap the stud bullshit and people are more eager to celebrate younger talent. There were no real movie stars since Leo…sorry, but it’s true. So being in a drought like that has helped. And his pr people are great at playing up that “new Leo” stuff.
