Blanchett's character was not in Highsmith's original. It was created for the 1999 film.
Started to watch episode 1 last night, fell asleep before it ended. Will pick it up at some point.

Re: Cannes 2024
And why, pray tell, does Variety still think that Forest Whitaker is in the cast when he isn't?

Re: Best Supporting Actor 1958
Chevalier was campaigned in lead. Gingold's omission was a headscratcher. She and Peggy Cass, who was nominated for Auntie Mame campaigned incessantly on late night TV. One campaign worked, one didn't.

Re: Best Supporting Actor 1961
Montgomery Clift was the sentimental favorite, not just for the performance alone for which he either waived his fee or took scale (forget which), but for having lost three times previously for The Search , A Place in the Sun , and From Here to Eternity . He and Judy Garland were the expected winners.

Re: Megalopolis reviews
Greg, have you read the responses to the article, one of them posted by Coppola himself 14 hours ago, respectfully correcting the author on several points? His response is included in the link you provided although it came four hours after you provided it so unless you've checked it again you wouldn...

Re: 2024 Governors Awards
Genuine question: when you compare the length of time a host like Bob Hope takes vs Jimmy Kimmel, is it genuinely that much different? Probably not, but the whole production number that goes along with the host's opening monologue before the first award is handed out takes more time than it did in ...

Re: Best Supporting Actor 1958
I’m not sure whether Donat's performance opposite Ingrid Bergman in The Inn of the Sixth Happiness was considered a lead but posthumous nominations in the supporting categories didn't happen until Ralph Richardson in 1984 and haven't happened since. Heath Ledger received a posthumous Best Supportin...

Re: R.I.P. Barbara Rush
Star of It Came from Outer Space?
I prefer to remember her for Magnificent Obsession, Bigger Than Life, No Down Payment, The Young Philadelphians, Hombre, and even Can't Stop the Music, and for her many guest star appearances in TV, especially a 1987 episode of Murder, She Wrote.

Re: 2024 Governors Awards
I don't remember that happening with the honorary awards although I do recall it happening once or twice with the scientific awards. They waste a lot of time at the Oscars with nonsense like selfies with the host, wandering tourists, and this year, drinks for the attendees. Worst of all, the opening...

Re: Best Supporting Actor 1958
If I were to amend my comments from twelve years ago, I would call this one of the most disappointing years in this category. Calling it the absolute worst was probably unfair. As I pointed out then, the rules in 1958 were different than they were in 2012 and things have only gotten more difficult f...

Re: 2024 Governors Awards
How about Willem Dafoe? I know he’s very active and could get nominated again, but if it’s limited to retired actors it really limits the pool. It's not limited to retired actors, but the reason most of the awards go to retired actors or those who hardly work anymore is because the thought is that ...

Re: R.I.P. Louis Gossett, Jr.
He was one of the giants, a true actor's actor. His best work was on TV in his Emmy-winning role in 1978's Roots, Part 2 and his Emmy-nominated role in 1979's Backstairs at the White House in which he aged from 37 to 88, almost making it to that age in real life. He had an extensive Broadway resume ...

Megalopolis screened this morning at the Universal Citywalk IMAX theatre to an audience of roughly 300 industry elites including all the studio chiefs, Al Pacino, and Roger Corman. The response was said to be quite positive, exciting, and emotional. One of the attendees was quoted as saying “It’s a...

Re: 2024 Governors Awards
While Harrison Ford's place in film history is unquestionable, I'm not sure he is as popular with the Academy's board of governors as he is with the general public. At the risk of sounding like Patrick's fiancé Gloria recalling an amusing event involving a friend to the delight of no one in Auntie M...
