I mostly shrug off category fraud but it& #39;s true. #BestSupportingActor

Honestly I get the game-playing more than I get the insistence that any man who doesn& #39;t have the biggest role is by definition supporting. Stephen Graham and Joe Pesci are supporting actors. Pacino: co-lead.

Beneath this is the idea that the person the movie is "about" is the lead. Beneath THAT is the idea that an important way to read a movie is to decide who it& #39;s "about." But you don& #39;t have to do that! P.S. All three women in The Favourite were leads. Good night. I SAID GOOD NIGHT!
