7 d. ago ‘Writhing in agony’: how are we only now learning Andrew Scott passed a kidney stone at the 2020 Sags?

The actor made it through his own nomination but was then ushered to an ambulance – an extraordinary performance from an apparently limitless talentAwards season is hard for everyone. It’s hard for the people organising the awards, because there are now so many award ceremonies compressed into such a brief window that it’s difficult to stand out. It’s difficult for the people who are nominated for the awards, who either have to show up with a new and interesting acceptance speech every time, or settle into a sustained pattern of repeated failure. It’s hard for journalists, who have to cover the awards. It’s hard for readers, who have to keep reading about them.But nobody, nobody on Earth, had a worse awards season than Andrew Scott did in 2020. This is the year that he found himself nominated for outstanding actor in a comedy series at the Screen Actors Guild awards, for his role as the priest in Fleabag. It wasn’t bad because he was clearly the underdog, up against household names ...

1 week ago War of words: who is winning the Oscar for best acceptance speech?

This season’s awards circuit has seen Demi Moore and Sean Baker praised for their speeches, but how much does that contribute to the big win?Winning an Oscar for acting has never looked particularly easy, even if certain types of performances – physical transformations, celebrity impressions – always seem to maintain an edge over others. One major factor contributing to the Oscar’s degree of difficulty is that the job doesn’t end when the movie does. There’s a whole season of awards campaigning requiring a different sort of performance – the equivalent of being thrown into an overtime that lasts far longer than the actual on-field game play. If awards season had a playbook for how to win this endless overtime, it would probably focus on acceptance speeches.There’s no better example than Demi Moore’s bonus-round performance at this year’s Golden Globes. As an awards body, the Globes are a longtime joke – a recently rebooted organization that can never claim any voting-body overlap wi...
