Colin Farrell had an AMAZING year in 2022. Working from the release dates in Ireland and the UK, he had After Yang, The Batman, Thirteen Lives and, which should be commended for maybe being the greatest 12 months in any one performers' career.It is for his performance in that latter movie that he won the Best Actor Golden Globe, and is currently in the running to win the Best Actor Oscar.
His initial outings in non-blockbuster fare were also more miss than hit: Alexander, Pride and Glory, The New World, The Way Back, A Home At The End of the World, Dead Man Down. But these movies were all very much within the norm of the Hollywood machine, obvious attempts to recapture the previous glories of particular thriller and drama hits.
It was only when Farrell purposefully leaned fully into his own inner weirdo that his career fully ignited, while maintaining the same sexy allure that made him so appealing in the first place. Even if the films weren't always great, he was always great in them: Fright Night, The Lobster, Horrible Bosses, The Beguiled, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Fantastic Beasts, Widows, The Gentlemen.
But now he has returned, and with his first leading role in over a decade, not only he has landed critical acclaim, but the full support of Hollywood and its audiences.sees him playing an obese man trying to reconnect with his long lost daughter, and while the movie in general isn't exceptional, his performance is. Fraser absolutely loses himself in this performance, absolutely tearing your heart out portraying a man ruined by self-imposed guilt, fully physicalising his particular character.
Overall, it comes down to this: The Banshees Of Inisherin's nomination represents an actor near the start of his new career path, where as The Whale's nomination represents an actor at the start of his career reclamation. Farrell will get nominated again, for sure, and if this is what he's capable of so early in this new trajectory, just imagine what else might be on his horizon.
Absolute nonsense
