Re: Best Picture and Director 2006
In this field, and having fallen deep out of enchantment with Clint Eastwood (outside of the borderline maudit smash success Gran Torino ), there's really no other choice but The Departed . Top 10 01. Inland Empire (David Lynch) 02. Syndromes and a Century (Apichatpong Weerasethakul) 03. Children of...

They both demonstrate a knack for self-promotion, that much is undeniable.

Half technically "right," half technically wrong, 100 percent not pertinent.

I mean, come on people, just imagine what Meryl Streep could've done with that scene!

Re: NYFCC Winners
One undeniable truth, so I'm to understand from my friends in the scene, is that the only people more toxic and abrasive than White himself are his minions, the post-apocalyptic shadow zombie world equivalent of the Paulettes.

I'm actually leaning toward the Coens tagging in for the Oscars. And I'm going to hope against hope it's Greengrass.Mister Tee wrote:These could transfer whole to the directing branch, but I honestly expect Jonze to replace someone. Who, is the big question.

Re: National Society of Film Critics
So this comment intrigued me and I went clicking through imdb. The last season that fit this bill (no repeats between the top prizes between the big three and AMPAS). We'd have to go back to 1989 1989 New York: My Left Foot, Paul Mazursky Los Angeles: Do the Right Thing, Spike Lee National Society:...

Re: 12 Years a Slave reviews
And not to de-rail, but was Talia Shire's performance in Rocky seen as some sort of sure-thing in the supporting category? I can't even remember anything about it except for her mousiness and wearing a red cap. The critics groups (NY and BOR) were definitely setting her up for a win in supporting. ...

And, of course, if Jean-Marc Vallée shows up, I'll throw my hands up in the air and howl Bennett Miller's name in vain.

Re: DGA Nominations Tomorrow
My gut feeling after that is Payne -- I think younger folk here underestimate how much old-timers relate to Nebraska (a film that's pretty consistently over-performed this season). Not only that, but my rule of thumb for DGA as of late has been to take two or three steps back from whatever would re...

You know who was awesome, showed range, suffered nobly and haunted the remainder of the film following her departure from it? Zhao Tao. Wish she was on Oscar's radar.

Re: 12 Years a Slave reviews
Woodard's performance, in particular, seemed to suggest an entire other film in which her character is explored (in just one scene , mind you). This. Woodard's performance is astonishing in the depths she manages to convey in one single scene. Rather easily the most impressive performance the film ...

Re: National Society of Film Critics
As of yet, all of 12 Years ' dominance has predominately been in the form of high nomination counts among the guilds. I imagine that will begin to change over the course of the next month -- indeed, as early as next Sunday at the Globes. But for the moment, behold how diverse the other precursors ha...
