@Bacbi 2 місяці тому
@@minder01 In some sense it kind of is literal. It has and can happen but usually, even if a movie has dual protagonist the studio will only campaign for one actor. Or perhaps even though the lead did a really great job and the movie is great they will look at who the actor would be up against and decide they would rather want to mount a campaign for the supporting role. Seeing they have a better shot at winning with the support rather than the lead. In such cases it's usual that the lead, or the senior actor who's getting paid the most will be asked if they are okay with it. Russel Crowe has told the story about how when he got his first campagin mounted on his behalf he expected it would be him and Pacino but the studio only had money to do it for one and Pacino told them to back Crowe. Which Crowe then later paid forward by having the studio back Giamatti when he was asked by the studio who they should back. And those campaigns do in fact cost quite a bit of money, not in a money being directly exchanged for a vote kind of way. More in the way that it costs money to run an election campaign, in some ways it's not that different than running for any office. Even before he was revealed to be who he was, it was an open secret that without Weinstein throwing the parties and the campaign he mounted for Shakespeare in Love it would not have won best picture over Saving Private Ryan.

One of the best Actors of his generation, frankly. The fact he's had such a long and creatively flourishing career across five-ish decades and now being a big name in Hollywood brings a lot of pride to me as a fellow Swede.

Breaking the Waves is one of the most powerful films I've ever seen. It's a proper "one and done" type of film, but I encourage anyone who hasn't watched it to check it out. An incredible film.

His character in both Dune movies is 🔥🔥
@thenerrdpit7441 2 місяці тому
he has the same energy like Willem Dafoe in that they both are aware of their "luck" and truly enjoy what they get to do. i believe that's why they've both been so successful and admired for decades.

What I love about Stellan is that he knows he will always get money and always have a job, he said in an interview he secured his career as a background / side character on purpose cause he can last a lifetime and be safe

Thor movies introduced him to me. I thought he was just "another side character" back then just because how his role was represented. But the more I discover his performance in past and other movies, the more I learn he's a living legend
@Sandlund93 2 місяці тому
Yeah, they didn't even mention King Arthur here. But I can see why, it's just another blockbuster at the end of the day. Even though I think it's a bit more than that. He did a decent job in that one too.

I love how you can hear the crew just lose it because of something he says before the cut at times. 😂

I had no idea id been watching you for so long!! So many amazing characters over such a great career! Cannot wait for Andor season 2 to come out :D
@melomane2010 2 місяці тому
What a career. His Captain Tupolev in Hunt for Red October was brief but very memorable. But his performance in Andor is breathtaking. I think I held my breath all through his oft-mentioned monologue - the emotional intensity was off the charts.

Out of his Swedish films I would recommend The Simple-Minded Murderer (1982), there are some similarities to Sling Blade, but I prefer it.

Stellan is probably one of my favourite actors of all time!
@Flyingtart 2 місяці тому
When I was a kid, and there was a movie on TV with him in it, my dad would be like "Look, it's Stellan Skarsgård, he is a swedish actor!", and now as an adult I think I will probably do the same when I have kids.

So happy Andor proved me wrong. As much as I love the original trilogy, this was something way more intense.

His voice carries his characters so well, he's a master of delivering dialogue.
@sunilpermaul7876 Місяць тому
I have to say he has been the progenitor of one of the best actor families ever. I love him and his children and their acting skills. Long Live A King.

That speech in Andor is the single best line delivery in the entirety of the franchise

I already liked Stellan Skarsgard, but this made me like him even more. What a fun dude... with a great career of iconic characters.
