The Apprentice
A young man took over his father's real-estate business in 1970s and '80s New York, and got the helping hand of an infamous closeted gay lawyer who helped him turn this young man into a notorious legend. Based on true events.

Inventive direction. The way it’s filmed is very apt and definitely adds flair. Great acting from the terrible two and Maria does well in a small space. Probably the most realistic portrayal of the man and I enjoyed watching the evolution of Donald J Cohn.
Never a good time for sexual assault allegations but the world didn’t NEED this film but as far as the time period chosen it is likely the most interesting. A lot of the barbs aimed at 2025 Trump are tasteless, hollow, and do nothing but attempt to make liberals feel better about losing to such a shitty candidate. Twice. Was not a fan of the plastic surgery especially. We get it - Trump is a dumb, shallow, hypocritical homophobe.
Two incredible performances from Sebastian Stan this year but I think he got nominated for the wrong one. Putting on and losing that weight so quickly sounds fucked tho.
Jeremy Strong gonna lose to Kieran Culkin in two hours (probably fair) but still a very strong performance HA
