The last time a Supporting Actor win happened for a performance not in a Best Picture nominee was Christopher Plummer in Beginners, but he was only competing with one other performance in a (not very popular) Best Picture nominee, Max von Sydow. Culkin's going up against three of them.
And if that latter scenario is the case, Torres wins Actress in a Marion Cotillard sort of way (over spunky rising star Mikey Madison/Elliot Page and established veteran with a narrative Julie Christie/Demi Moore).
No Picture nod for A Real Pain puts Culkin's chances on life support. Maybe Norton?

In fact, it's on my bucket list to show this to someone in person who has no idea what it's about or what they're in for, then watch them become a harried, exhausted mess by the end of it.
Stewart's performance might be my single favorite performance in all of cinema (so far)

If I were asked what the single most intense movie ever made is, I would answer with this one. It drenches you in sweat. Hitchcock's greatest magic trick.

My North Star. That will likely never change.
But allow me to reply to this with a few other stars that shine nearly as brightly.
