Re: Cannes 2024
Thanks, that’s quite the thorough preview. Where do you get your information about stages of production? IMDB only has pre-, in, and post- categories with no details.

Re: R.I.P. M. Emmet Walsh
Just a terrific actor and screen presence. When I heard of his passing the first image that came to mind was his playing the empathic swimming coach in Ordinary People, saying to Conrad, “Are you having any fun out there?”
Rest in Peace.
Rest in Peace.

Re: I'm always here for the Trivia
Mister Tee wrote Not a revolution, but I'd say progress. What's closer to a revolution is the number of women nominated for Best Director. This decade alone (if we start in 2020), we've seen almost as many nominated (4) than in all of Academy history combined (5). Not to mention twice as many winne...

Re: The 25th Annual Who'll Be Back?
That was a super-enjoyable read, Tee. Happy 25th anniversary for this post, one that I always look forward to. Your reasoning on these guesses is solid, but with many of these actors and directors it really comes down to a hunch. My hunch is that Jeffrey Wright, now that the Oscar door has opened fo...

Re: Civil War reviews
What people seem to be buzzing most about in this film is that California and Texas form an alliance in the depicted civil war. Fiction, for sure.

Re: Welcome to the 97th Academy Awards
The term “hyperlink” is relatively new to the lexicon, e.g., Robert Altman wasn’t using that term when he made Nashville or Short Cuts. Bottom line there are various ways to edit and package films telling multiple and distinct stories. Sometimes they’re tied together thematically, tonally, stylistic...

Re: Welcome to the 97th Academy Awards
One can argue whether a film is considered an anthology film depending on whether the stories are told consecutively or edited such that the film switches back and forth among the stories. Other films that could be considered as anthology films and have been nominated for Oscars include Amores Perro...

Re: Welcome to the 97th Academy Awards
Some of these may get pushed to 2025. Kinds of Kindness could be one. Emma Stone under Lanthimos' direction two years in a row might feed into the narrative of they never do the same thing twice in a row. Besides which it's an anthology piece in which the three leads (Stone, Margaret Qualley, Jesse...

Re: I'm always here for the Trivia
Cillian Murphy becomes the first Irish-born actor to win Best Actor. Daniel Day-Lewis was born in England. The only other two Irish-born acting winners were Barry Fitzgerald and Brenda Fricker.

Re: Oscar Ceremony
I agree that it was a very average Oscars show. Jimmy Kimmel’s affable style was serviceable and would have been forgettable had he not slipped in the Trump joke at the end. There were really no other memorable jokes by him, but “past your jail time” will likely be quoted for a long time. The only a...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Leading Actor
Apropos to the discussion about Bradley Cooper’s campaign, I came across this feature in the NYT. I hadn’t heard the word “sweaty” used in this context before:
