A Year of Support

Some of the other great supporting performances of the year...

Samuel L. Jackson and Leonardo DiCaprio in Django Unchained
Tommy Lee Jones and Sally Field in Lincoln
Javier Bardem in Skyfall
Jim Broadbent in Cloud Atlas
Alan Arkin and Bryan Cranston in Argo
Tom Hardy and Anne Hathaway in The Dark Knight Rises
Michael Fassbender in Prometheus
And just for shits and giggles...Josh Brolin in Men in Black 3

And because they aren't going to get any recognition in the best actor races but did very good work...
Martin Freeman in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Daniel Craig in Skyfall
Robert Downey Jr. in Marvel's The Avengers

Best Actress?

The Greggy Awards don't feel the need to separate categories into male and female. The best performance is the best performance, whether man or woman.

Had I presented the awards in the traditional way, however, Jessica Chastain would have won for her brilliantly obsessive loner Maya in Zero Dark Thirty.

Close Calls

As you can see from above, best supporting performance was an extraordinarily tough call.

The Hobbit was considered for Best Sound Mixing.

Prometheus and Marvel's The Avengers were in the running for Best Visual Effects.

John Williams was very close to winning Best Score for Lincoln.

Prometheus was a lock for Best Cinematography until Skyfall. Wolski's incredible 3D camera work was enthralling.

Skyfall and Zero Dark Thirty were both under serious consideration for Best Director/Picture

Animated Feature?

I consider the separate category for animated films to be insulting. There is an inherent connotation of inferiority in segregating these very legitimate films to a lesser category. It's also rendered completely superfluous when an animated film makes the jump to Best Picture nominee a la Toy Story 3.

That said, the best animated film of the year was Brave.

What About Me?

Some very good movies I just didn't have room for...

The Dark Knight Rises
Marvel's The Avengers
Looper

Top 5

Ranking my best picture nominees...
1. Argo
2. Skyfall
3. Zero Dark Thirty
4. Lincoln
5. Django Unchained

Thanks for reading!
