Best, weirdest, wildest They call the annual parade of prizes for art âaward season.â It lasts for months and reliably culminates in somebody standing on a stage saying âthank youâ (or sometimes âno thank youâ).

On its own, that one element might be a singular achievement, but it also helps explain why the rest of a performance is so impossible to forget. Here are some highlights. Best Acting Above the Nose: Paul Giamatti, âThe Holdoversâ If a middle-aged actor has ignored the call to seek facial rejuvenation â if his entire face still works â special attention will be paid. Even then, who but Giamatti could use his face to travel from indignity to indignation with a mere narrowing of the eyes, from resting to rage? Paul Hunham, the fallen prep-school teacher he plays in [âThe Holdovers,â](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRntcKvP0TpaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMC8yNi9tb3ZpZXMvdGhlLWhvbGRvdmVycy1yZXZpZXctYWxleGFuZGVyLXBheW5lLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDI0MDIxOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTU1MzAmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1ODU3MSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZc-vPdNllyOAjlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) slouches his way through the film, his quiver stocked with embitterment and tweedy hauteur. The movie puts Hunhamâs distasteful, explosive qualities to moral, altruistic ends, and you can measure the emotional magnitude of his righteousness by the creases, lines and squiggles that striate Giamattiâs forehead. What heâs after is richer than plain fury. Yes, he can give you Vesuvius. But here, in the most deeply inhabited, most sharply etched use to which that brow has yet been put, Giamatti has also located Lake Placid and charts a course toward it. Best Acting on a Landline: Matt Damon, Viola Davis and Chris Messina, âAirâ The kick of a memorable phone sequence comes from the pleasure an actor has obviously found in the yakking. [âAirâ](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRntcKvP0TVaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNC8wNC9tb3ZpZXMvYWlyLW1vdmllLXJldmlldy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyNDAyMTkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTE1NTMwJm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNTg1NzEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmXPrz3TZZcjgI5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~) is set in 1984, when the landline still ruled telecom. Damon spends the movie neck-cradling a handset and, if Messina is howling at him on the other end, holding it at a comical distance and grimacing. Messina is playing Michael Jordanâs ulcerous agent; Damonâs character works for Nike. Messina screams into his phoneâs transmitter as if Damon were trapped deep inside. When Damon is on the phone with Davis (playing Jordanâs mother), he holds it very close to his head, as if her voice were pain relief. Davisâs grip implies delicacy and, because every phone call in âAirâ is a negotiation, full commitment to the firmness of her terms. Best Gonzo Performance: Emma Stone, âPoor Thingsâ It doesnât feel good saluting actors for courage. Courage is the whole job. But if youâre playing an adult corpse and the corpse is reanimated with the brain of an infant and the reanimated, baby-brained corpse has to not only learn to remain upright, grip objects, feed itself and speak but also find a way of conveying to an audience the development of those faculties â in gradients! â well ⦠then you are still only in acting class. However, if youâre [Emma Stone doing corpse work,](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRntcKvP0TXaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMi8wNy9tb3ZpZXMvcG9vci10aGluZ3MtcmV2aWV3Lmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDI0MDIxOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTU1MzAmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1ODU3MSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZc-vPdNllyOAjlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) the technique required to go from lumpen to living gets a magic wandâs ting. And still the movie needs you to apply a comedianâs sensibility â to every step, flub, bite and orgasm. On your way from savant to simpleton to sophisticate, you have to make every thought, every experience feel like an epiphany. You have to be ravished. Yet you have to ravish us. And youâve got to have the courage â yes, there it is, the courage â to look ridiculous, powerfully ridiculous, as ravishment is achieved, to repossess it. And Emma Stone, you do. âRidiculousâ is yours now. Best Theft of a Movie: Ryan Gosling, âBarbieâ For an audience to leave a movie theater convinced that one actor has pocketed the film implies that something went wrong, that a movie that wasnât about that character became about the actor playing that character. Famously: Anthony Hopkins and his almost 25 minutes of screen time in âThe Silence of the Lambs.â And now: Gosling â controversially, for stealing candy from a Barbie. He goes [so hard at the joke that Ken](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRntcKvP0TmaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wMS8yMy9zdHlsZS9iYXJiaWUtb3NjYXItbm9taW5hdGlvbnMtcmVhY3Rpb25zLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDI0MDIxOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTU1MzAmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1ODU3MSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZc-vPdNllyOAjlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) is supposed to be telling on men: Strength is weakness, coolness is lame, knowledge is ignorance, twinkle is shadow. You watch Goslingâs face for some sign of a wink, but he is committed. He could have played Ken as an idiot. But the comedy of the performance, the danger of the part and perhaps the point of the movie is that the actor playing this narcissist has installed in him a soul.

The production, which features an all-Western cast, made changes to the script to get past Chinese censors, but some elements that may have been difficult to include in a contemporary Chinese play â like recitation of Bible verses and the sympathetic portrayal of prisoners â remained.
