On Facebook, I asked a stridently anti-Mamdani voter, "Do you hope you're wrong about him?" and without hesitating, she replied, "Nope." They want him to be a Jew-hating monster because they think that's an acceptable price to pay to force unity over Israel among Jews. That is not going to happen.

With 3 prestige films scheduled for next year, 2026 could easily be a career best year for Caitríona Balfe.
THIS is how you move on the film scene after your decade-long hit TV show wraps.
She continues to show epic range, also Oscar-calibre work in Ford v Ferrari and Belfast.

For anyone being dramatic about how bad things are, I beg you to open a history book. Things are always this bad. That’s why there’s music & art & stories & every way humans try to create something beautiful & meaningful from chaos & fear.
But please, read more history books. Please. 🙏🏼

Caitríona Balfe back in studio film mode at last, with reliably epic red carpet game.
I hope she will book something great and auteur-y soon.
Now that her decade-long TV gig is done, she deserves a full-time film career with the best collaborators.

I just read this Variety hit job in which it's clear that Disney is trying to pin the failure of Snow White on Rachel Zegler. I'm confused: Did she make the studio spend $270 million on an unasked-for remake of a 90-year-old piece of IP?

8 actors who lost tonight, could be back in the Oscar race next season.
Timothee Chalamet, Ralph Fiennes, Sebastian Stan, Cynthia Erivo, Colman Domingo, Jeremy Strong, Ariana Grande, Demi Moore.
Wouldn't THAT be quite the next chapter for them all ?

IF THE THE OSCARS WERE TODAY (February)
Since this Oscar season is chop, I am now focusing on the 2025 slate with a post on the last day of every month (January below).
I will only add performances that had been already reviewed, could be interesting to see these in December.

At the moment probably every major film studio is feverishly looking for (preferably yet unadapted) stage musicals to turn into BO smash hits and I really hope some variation of these, WILL happen.

It is quite interesting how the two wildly different film musicals of 2024, are getting the same critics consensus.
I am curious to see where both will land this Oscar season.
#WickedMovie will be helped by Box Office, #EmiliaPérez will be helped by the Cannes/Auteur prestige.
