Everyone will have a memory of what happened during this 2022 at the cinema. It might not even be in a room, but on a device or TV screen, streaming a movie. Or Will Smith’s slap at Chris Rock at the Oscars.
Either way, this 2022 has had several milestones to evoke, rather than commemorate.
The 2022 Oscar ceremony had been postponed to March, because I don’t know if you remember that there was a Covid-19 outbreak earlier in the year. But attention was not focused on the chinstraps, which it was not necessary to wear, not even on the winners (remember the title of the film that won, and surprised? It was tail).
Who made history was Will Smith, with his unexpected slap at Chris Rock on stage at the Dolby Theater, in the heart of Hollywood, for quoting and making fun of his wife Jada, who suffers from alopecia.
The reaction surprised the comedian, and the truth is that when I saw him live I thought it was something prepared between Smith and Rock. Hand. When he took to the stage again, this time to receive his Oscar for best actor King Richard, Will Smith referred to his “mistake” with tears in his eyes. The irreparable damage had already been done.
His aggression had a consequence. Although he has resigned from being a member of the Hollywood Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the entity has decided to terminate his membership and he will not be able to attend in person—yes, be a nominee—at any ceremony until year … 2033.
Closer, even if his presentation went further, Argentina, 1985 it was the national film of the year. It premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where Santiago Miter’s film competed for the Golden Lion, but did not win any official awards, but it did win the critics (Fipresci) and the public in San Sebastián, and three Coral Awards in the Havana Festival. The first preselection to compete for the Oscar for best international film has already passed (there are 15 out of 92 left) and the announcement of the nominations is awaited on Tuesday 24 January to see if it was, as we hope, among the top five. .
First, on Tuesday 10 January, there is the delivery of the Golden Globe, where it is a candidate in the best foreign film category. Ricardo Darín and Santiago Miter will travel to the ceremony.
It didn’t happen in theaters or streaming, but the process between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard was, truly, out of a movie. The judicial proceeding with which the actor accused his ex-wife of defamation had a detailed follow-up on social networks. The combination of the legal battle along with mutual allegations of abuse ended up hurting their careers. And Amber will have to pay him $10.3 million.
illustrious visits
And although she didn’t come to film anything, Margot Robbie caused quite a stir during her time in Argentina. She came with her friend Cara Delevingne and two companions, who did not treat well a paparazzi who wanted to photograph the Australian as he left a restaurant in La Boca.
The one who came and recorded a series was Robert De Niro. The arrival of the star The Godfather II, Wild bull Y joker it revolutionized every block through which it circulated. participated in Any, directed by Gastón Duprat and Mariano Cohn, together with Luis Brandoni.

Others may or may not have nominations for upcoming Oscars, such as Glass Onion (Netflix) or Emancipation (AppleTV+). But the ones he didn’t like were blondestarring Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe (hard to forget the oral sex scene she plays on President John F. Kennedy), or The luckiest girl in the worldwith Mila Kunis.
And there were some mixed ones, who passed through the cinema as if to obey (in the case of Pinocchio by Guillermo del Toro, or Background noisewith Adam Driver, who this Friday December 30 went up on Netflix), or Managerwith Leonardo Sbaraglia (Paramount+).
Avatar: The Path of Water marked the return of James Cameron after a lengthy 14-year absence. And yes, he’s back with the Na’vi saga, but this film has a more powerful narrative thread than the original film, and a beauty and cleanliness of the images that are truly impossible to forget. In two weeks it surpassed 1,000 million dollars in grossing.
And speaking of successes, Minions: a villain is born It was the most watched film in Argentine theaters in 2022. The 4,566,438 tickets sold also place it in the third highest-grossing film since 1997 – the date from which verifiable data are available – in our country.
