It’s very sad but The Passion of Dodin Bouffant didn’t even get past the nominations stage: he went straight to the kitchen. On the other hand, Anatomy of a fall by Justine Triet takes a nice revenge with five citations including best film, best screenplay – which the director shares with Arthur Harari – and best actress for Sandra Hüller. We can easily imagine them giggling with joy when thinking of the commission which preferred to send Tran Anh Hung’s film in their place to represent the colors of France in Hollywood. “It’s a declaration of love for the film but also for Justine Triet,” explains Didier Allouch, Hollywood correspondent for Canal +. To name her in the same category as Christopher Nolan and Martin Scorsese is just huge. It’s a beautiful day for her and for French cinema. »
Dodin Bouffant can always try to console Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig, actress and director of Barbie, with good dishes because the latter are the most forgotten in the nominations. “A real surprise that I can’t explain,” declares Didier Allouch. It’s all the more upsetting for them since Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera are nominated for supporting roles! We would have wanted to upset them that we would not have done it differently. Especially when we see thatOppenheimer totals thirteen nominations. “I am happy for Christopher Nolan who is too often shunned by the Academy and I can see him winning six or seven Oscars,” predicts Didier Allouch. Nolan will have a hard time catching up with Martin Scorsese in terms of quotes: the latter receives the tenth of his career with Killers Of The Flower Moon.
Some predictions
Without surprise The Area of Interest by Jonathan Glazer is well placed to receive the award for Best Foreign Film by focusing on the daily life of the commander of Auschwitz and his wife played by Sandra Hüller who is definitely essential. “There is no real suspense on this subject now that Dodin Bouffant has been eliminated,” said Didier Allouch. For actresses, Emma Stone is given favorite for Poor creatures by Yórgos Lánthimos in which she plays a child-brained woman who discovers life and sexuality. “It’s between her and Lily Gladstone in Scorsese but she has a head start,” explains Didier Allouch. Among the men, he believes that Paul Giamatti has a good chance of winning in Winter Break by Alexander Payne. On the entertainment side, our favorite The Boy and the Heron by Hayao Miyazaki should go home with an Oscar. We will be scheduled for March 10, during the ceremony broadcast live on Canal + and commented by the irreplaceable Didier Allouch. We keep our fingers and toes crossed for Justine Triet and her team.
