Is Nicole Kidman Oscar Worthy as Lucille Ball? | 'Being the Ricardos' Review
5I Love Lucy...but do I Love Nicole Kidman?
What about Javier Bardem?
JK Simmons?
Nina Arianda?
Today we're discussing the Oscar nominated performances, and snubs, featured in Aaron Sorkin's latest film "Being the Ricardos". The Amazon Prime film spotlights one week of production on the classic American sitcom 'I Love Lucy' when Lucille Ball was accused of being a Communist.
The film was not nominated for Best Picture, but received nominations for Best Actress (Nicole Kidman as Lucille Ball), Best Actor (Javier Bardem as Desi Arnaz) and Best Supporting Actor (JK Simmons as William Frawley). Is 'Being the Ricardos' the best acted film of 2022? Should Debra Messing have been cast as Lucy? Why does Javier Bardem scare Matt? All this and more in today's Teacup Review!

MATT'S MUSINGS: What did YOU think of 'Being the Ricardos'??
__________________________________________
Welcome to Teacup For One, my name is Matt and I have two degrees!
Just like a great cup of tea, this channel is a blend of diverse and exciting ingredients: mix some Disney with some Shakespeare, a dash of Funko Pops, a splash of unboxing videos and the occasional travel vlog and you’ve got a Teacup for One.
This channel started as a Walt Disney World Resort vlog for solo travelers, and has evolved into a one stop destination for Disnerds of all kinds! Perhaps you want to find out Matt’s picks for the best character meet and greets at Walt Disney World, or see the ultimate showdown between Butterbeer (The Wizarding World of Harry Potter) vs Green and Blue Milk (Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge) vs LeFou’s Brew (New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom)? Or find out where to find Disney World treats in Canada? Or maybe you want to hear about the Imagineering backstories behind the Society of Explorers and Adventurers, and how it may (or may not) be the foundation for a new cinematic universe (or SEAverse) incorporating movies based on fan favourite rides such as the Jungle Cruise, The Hunted Mansion, The Tower of Terror and more!
Even if you’ve never been to the Disney Parks, Matt loves talking about Disney movies! Keep an eye out for some fun video essays, looking at film analysis topics like why Belle is the best Disney character, why Cinderella’s dress isn’t blue, why the genie was Robin Williams’ best role....or fun Disney History videos like the time Matt tried to figure out Mickey Mouse’s real birthday!
And of course, if you’re familiar with Matt’s Instagram profile, the channel wouldn’t be complete without some Funko Pops! Every once in a while Matt will do an unboxing from one of his favorite Funko Pop retailers!
And of course let’s not forget about Teacup for One original content! So far we’ve had a Droid beauty pageant reality show (Droids and Diadems) and a four part Christmas webseries based called “# Scrooge: A Christmas Carol Webseries” based on the classic Christmas ghost story by Charles Dickens!
Whatever you’re a fan of, we hope this channel is your Cup of Tea!
