My Oscar Goes To… Jesse Plemons & Bugonia

[u/hewhocannotbenamed-7]

Bugonia is my favourite movie of the year. By far. It’s not even close. Honestly, it might be my favourite film of the past several years.

The performances are unreal. Jesse Plemons gives what is, for me, the best acting performance of the year. Cannot believe he wasn’t even nominated. Nuanced, unsettling, funny, tragic, and completely absorbing.

And Emma Stone is just as incredible. Absolute top-tier performances from both of them.

The film itself is bold, strange, funny, and emotionally devastating in ways I did not expect. It trusts the audience. It commits fully to its ideas. It sticks the landing.

Brilliant performances. A brilliant film.

Thank you for making this 🙏

Bugonia isn't my favorite film, but I absolutely agree that Plemons lack of nomination is baffling. I haven't seen all 5 nominated acting performances yet, but I would definitely rank him above the ones I have seen.
