Best mullet? Best use of Taylor Swift? AP hands out its own movie awards ahead of the Oscars
Hollywood’s never-ending awards season can make it easy to get a little lost in the run-of-the-mill “best” categories. — J.C. Best stuffy: Chris Hemsworth’s teddy bear, “Furiosa” Hemsworth may play a maniac warlord named Dementus who rides a Roman chariot across the wasteland of George Miller’s “Furiosa,” but he’s also a big softy who carries his childhood stuffy. There’s just not much better than Gosling cry-singing to “All Too Well.” — J.C. Best scene-stealer: Adam Pearson, “A Different Man” Sebastian Stan has gotten most of the awards love for Aaron Schimberg’s twisty dark comedy, but it’s Pearson who lifts “A Different Man” to another level. — J.C. Best prop: The glass of milk, “Babygirl” I don’t make the rules, Harris Dickinson’s Samuel does. — J.C. Best mullet: Kristen Stewart, “Love Lies Bleeding” Rose Glass’ “Love Lies Bleeding,” that sweaty, pulpy, violent, romantic ride, is a cult classic in the making thanks in no small part to Stewart’s fearless performance as Lou, a gym manager in rural New Mexico in 1989 who falls for a drifter bodybuilder.
