‘American Fiction,’ ‘Poor Things’ and ‘Zone of Interest’ Flex at BAFTAs, While ‘Barbie’ and ‘Maestro’ Get Oscar Campaign Blows
Could 'American Fiction' and 'The Zone of Interest' upset 'Oppenheimer' at the Oscars?
Yorgos Lanthimos’ sci-fi black comedy “Poor Things” garnered four prizes, including leading actress for Emma Stone, production design, special visual effects, costumes and makeup and hair. The Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach script lost out to another Hollywood couple: Justine Triet and Arthur Harari for “Anatomy of a Fall.” Although “Barbie” holds a nod for adapted screenplay at the Oscars, the competition remains fierce, especially with Cord Jefferson’s “American Fiction” pulling off a surprise victory at the BAFTAs. With her co-star Paul Giamatti narrowly edged out by Cillian Murphy from “Oppenheimer,” the stage is set for a tense battle akin to last year’s best actor race where Austin Butler (“Elvis”) won both Globe and BAFTA, while Brendan Fraser (“The Whale”) had CCA and SAG.
