The field for Best
Actor is pretty weak in general, but replacing Redmayne for the far superior Michael B. Jordan from crowd pleaser and surprise hit Creed would not
only up the quality
of the category significantly, it would also inject some much needed
color into the proceedings.
Cagney's a great
actor,
of course, but both he and Day seemed totally lacking in energy, as did the direction by Charles Vidor — I swear there were
only two camera setups through the first 30 + minutes
of he film: Day on stage in a flat composition in front
of musicians and a solid
color backdrop with neither camera nor
actors moving much at all and Day and Cagney in her dressing room arguing about something.
In fact, while most
of the supporting
actors are consigned to
only a few scenes each, it's in these moments where the film shines the brightest; and that's quite a feat considering just how dark this movie is, both visually (the
colors are so washed out that it's like watching with sunglasses on at times) and thematically.
(One additional note on Best Supporting Actress to segue into surprises: Mary J. Blige is not
only the first person ever nominated for Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Song in the same year, but the first
actor Oscar - nominated for a film directed by a woman
of color, Mudbound's Dee Rees.)
