This is some of the best work Jurgen has done in quite some time. It has his signature touch that's been missing lately. Less is definitely more for him.
I think the general consensus is that the male actor categories this awards season are more stacked than the female actor categories. Sure Awkwafina was good in The Farewell, but is her not getting a cover a more egregious snub than Taron Egerton, Antonio Banderas, Song Kang-ho, Tom Hanks, Leo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Christian Bale, Willem Dafoe, Jonathan Pryce, Anthony Hopkins, etc. not getting a cover? The idea of a forced 50/50 split in cover subjects for this issue seems silly to me, since normally far more women get covers for this issue than men. I can recall a few years where it was a 5:1 ratio, which I doubt any of us found problematic.
I'd argue that Awkwafina being snubbed is more shocking than most of the names you mentioned. She starred in one of the surprise hits of the year, a movie that no one expected to do much business, yet it crossed more than 20 million at the US box office and is universally praised for both the movie itself and her performance. I mean, when was the last time a woman with an Asian background was getting so much praise and even Oscar buzz? Unfortunately that is very very rare.
And for all the names you mentioned, we could also say Renee Zellweger, Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, Lupita, Cynthia Erivo, Alfre Woodard, Ana de Armas or even Brie Larson and Daisy Ridley.
Alberta Ferretti.Is that Pucci?
