not OMGH already existing. she really is the moment.

Brazilian excellence Mia Mello da Silva Goth and her Victorian street urchin vocals remain acclaimed and unbothered

Toni, Lupita, and I’d throw Florence in too, are definitely bigger cases of the recent horror snubs tbh. If they couldn’t do it, Mia wasn’t gonna be the one to break the curse unfortunately, especially considering how lukewarm X and Pearl were overall (her performances aside). At this rate I don’t know who will do it… but I look forward to the day. It’ll be interesting to see how Joaquin fares with Beau if that turns out well, after coming off of the recent Best Actor win. Although I’m sure we’re all rooting for a woman, foremost. 

That doesn’t look like a horror movie + he has the Napoleon movie coming out this year which will probably receive the acting role push over Beau.

She was honestly so amazing in both X and Pearl

If you realize which character she played in X, you'd know why and the ending credit for Pearl was just brilliant

Mia onscreen compared to her regular speaking :deadbanana: now that’s acting

Toni Collette and her were so snubbed in recent years

She easily deserved a nom, but its just not realistic. The same way Toni Collette was snubbed for Hereditary in 2019 when she ATE all of the ladies nominated.

I think Toni Collete in Hereditary is honestly one of the most offensive snubs I've ever seen in recent years. Her performance was one in a million.

Girl I'm sorry, I love her (not in this film specifically, but others) but the film gays' insistence on horror performances being "snubbed" is kind of grating nnnn :gaycat7:

 

"Overlooked" is a more appropriate term, it's not realistic to expect a major studio to push a horror performance regardless of acclaim or online buzz

Idg why though? Horror does just as well critically and commercially as any other genre. No one is asking them to nominate Scream 5 or Smile, but movies like Midsommar and Pearl at the very least deserve under the line recognition. I don’t understand the hang up from The Oscars when they even give Marvel nominations.

they fetishize drama over any damn genre, it's so annoying.

It's probably useful to think about it from a perspective of scarcity and diversification. Typically, major studios only have the resources to pull off one major awards campaign a year. In every recent case where a horror performance got significant buzz from critics and online circles, ie Toni Collette, Lupita Nyong'o, Florence Pugh, and now Mia Goth, there was always a film that their respective studios (in most cases, A24) was pushing for awards. Hereditary lost out to First Reformed, Midsommar to Uncut Gems, Us (a Universal film, actually) to 1917, and now Pearl to Everything Everywhere All at Once. A24 isn't even consistent enough to pull off one successful awards campaign every year, so being second or third priority effectively kills your chances no matter how acclaimed you are. 

 

In terms of box office, as you mentioned, many of these horror movies have done well commercially in the first place. This is usually due to the fact that they're more effectively promoted to the general public; A24 has done incredibly well with social media campaigns and building up their brand of putting out more cerebral horror films and have become incredibly ubiquitous with more Gen Z/millennial circles online. They've decided that it's more useful to put funds towards promoting horror films to the general public rather than for awards. There are exceptions to this; Get Out happened to come from a studio that didn't have much else to push that season, and after the blockbuster critical raves and crossover appeal became apparent, it became viable in that specific circumstance. It's definitely possible, but usually things don't align as easily for films such as Pearl.

 

On the other hand, dramas that are more friendly to Academy voters tend to do less at the box office initially, and studios effectively rely on their success during awards season to bump up the box office and home video revenue after they've already been through awards season. Studios have a more diverse portfolio of films and access to multiple demographics using this strategy as opposed to putting all of their resources towards genre films which, let's face it, might not do nearly as well in terms of nominations and wins. It should be pretty apparent why EEAAO was a better bet than Pearl for awards success, although I will concede that it's been one of the few films recently to be profitable initially at the box office and a success during awards season. That used to be more common decades ago, but the new method of campaigning relegates films with more and more specificity to awards voters nowadays. In terms of Marvel, they only consistently campaign those for technical categories for which they're much more likely to be nominated and win. It took a huge shift in cultural discourse to even make Black Panther the first film viable enough to campaign for Best Picture after decades, and they only received their first acting nomination this year with Angela Bassett, so even those are afflicted by a specific set of circumstances as well.

 

Sorry for the dissertation, I'm just really passionate about the topic lol

LITERALLY. That was THE performance of a lifetime. One of the best acting performances I've ever seen. 

 

I still haven't watched Pearl (watched X though), and indeed Mia is a fantastic actress. But if Toni wasn't nominated for Hereditary, then Mia didn't stand a chance. 

 

Alex Wolff's performance was also out of this world and highly deserved a nomination as well.

Lukewarm in what sense? 
Both of these movies are basically best horror movies released in 2022 and of the best in this decade so far. 
 

OT: Mia Goth was definitely deserving, especially for her Pearl performance. 
I am glad she is being honest while talking about it. She is arguably the best horror actress in a while - X, Pearl, Infinity Pool, MaXXXine and who knows where she will be going next. A star indeed.
