Oscar Race Finally Delivers Some Surprises, From ‘Jingle Jangle’ to Sia’s ‘Music’

original score, original song, makeup and hairstyling and visual effects, along with international feature, documentary and the three shorts categories — I would have guessed “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” “Mank,” “Tenet” and a few others. I definitely would not have thought that Netflix’s holiday musical “Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey” would have matched “Mank” with three shortlist spots — more than either “Chicago 7” or “Tenet.”And if told me that the Golden Globes would uncork one of their patented bizarro nominations in the Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy category, I would never have guessed that it would be Sia’s “Music,” because I was blissfully unaware of that film’s very existence.I’m no longer unaware.

‘The Man Who Sold His Skin’ Review: Tunisia’s Provocative Oscar Contender

Alissa Simon Film CriticNow shortlisted in the international feature category, Tunisia’s ambitious entry “The Man Who Sold His Skin” from female writer-director Kaouther Ben Hania (“Beauty and the Dogs”) offers a provocative contemporary take on a Faustian bargain. An audacious but not always palatable mix of drama, tragedy, romance, satire and dark humor, the plot centers on Sam (newcomer Yahya Mahayni), a displaced Syrian with a chip on his shoulder who allows a cryptic art-world guru to use his back as a canvas.
