Us: 2 lines theme ×1 contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Harriet → Us. Erivo's slavery role is the Oscar-type narrative; Nyong'o's genre role in Us is not.
    “One is a heavy genre, one is sort of indie coming of age story.”
    The Big Picture · The Snubs and Surprises of the 92nd Academy Award Nominations | The Oscars Show · 0:31:19 · Amanda Dobbins (0.40 sure it was them)

The Farewell: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Harriet → The Farewell. The speaker would watch The Farewell or Us before Harriet.
    “my choice between watching the farewell or us or Harriet again, I'm not watching Harriet.”
    The Big Picture · The Snubs and Surprises of the 92nd Academy Award Nominations | The Oscars Show · 0:30:46 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)

Widows: 1 line verdict ×1

  1. verdict (better Erivo): Widows → Harriet. Erivo was more interesting in Widows (and The Outsider) than as Harriet Tubman.
    “She's a great actor, but she was more interesting in Widow.”
    The Big Picture · Our Alternative Academy Awards | The Oscars Show · 1:24:14 · Wesley Morris (0.40 sure it was them)

theme (1)

  1. theme (snub comparison): Us → Harriet. Lupita's invented two-character performance was overlooked for Erivo playing a familiar enslaved figure, the lone nominated actor of color for a slavery role.
    “They nominated one actor of color and is for playing a slave.”
