Just saw someone say he was surprised Jafar Panahi didn’t get a Best Director nomination because “he has such a great narrative,” and guys, the world is bigger than awards season.

Seeing a lot of posts asking how THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE could be so overlooked when THE BRUTALIST did so well last year, and I admire both films, but the Corbet-Fastvold connection doesn’t mean they’re like for like. Both are big swings, but one is stately and classical, and the other is wild.

My now-annual awards season reminder: just because the Academy decided on the term “international film” as a euphemism for “non-English-language film” to make themselves sound less parochial, doesn’t mean we all have to follow suit. “International film” means pretty much nothing at all.

Mescal was good in HAMNET, but attempting to pass him off as a supporting actor in that film was ridiculous, so I’m not mad he missed while Lindo, a film-enhancing asset in a genuinely supporting role, got the nod instead. (Yes, Elordi and Skarsgard are leads too, but one small victory at a time.)
There are always a handful of disappointing/surprising Oscar omissions, and I'm sad that Paul Mescal got squeezed out for a superb performance in Hamnet. But: Delroy Lindo and Wunmi Mosaku! Four for The Secret Agent, including casting! Amy Madigan! Yeah, this list is fine.

I had quite a good time with F1, but it is one of the more arbitrary popcorn blockbusters ever to find its way into the Best Picture category — it’s extremely well-made but not exactly artistic, popular but not exactly a pop-culture phenomenon, liked by many but adored by… who?

That we now every year have multiple films scoring double-digit nomination tallies does suggest to me that voters are watching fewer films than they did before — in an odd way, I think expanding the Best Picture field has narrowed the prospects for films that aren’t in that discussion.

Just caught up with THE HOUSEMAID, and it’s a good enough time, but 131 minutes? Sorely needs some snap, and a director with at least half the lurid B-movie rizz that Amanda Seyfried brings to it.

I miss when the Golden Globes could be reliably counted on to give their TV awards to the newest thing with the most famous person. What’s the point of just xeroxing the Emmys?

Enjoyed the Globes red carpet interviewer’s look of faintly panicked bafflement when Paul Mescal said the person he’s most excited to meet tonight is Jafar Panahi

How is Delroy Lindo, who’s both long due some industry recognition and the ensemble MVP of SINNERS, getting so stiffed this season?

On the upside, sincerely delighted to see the SAG nod for Kate Hudson, who powers an old-school, pure-hearted crowdpleaser with both the sparky charisma we all already knew about, and a gentle, creased humanity that the industry seems to forget about a lot of the time. Hope the Academy follows.

Anyway, congrats to the deep and absolutely uniformly excellent ensemble of FRANKENSTEIN!

At a time when pretty much every awards institution is turning more than ever to non-English-language cinema to elevate the field, the stubborn parochialism of SAG is almost endearing.

How many more crushingly sad stories must we read about ChatGPT fatally enabling the worst impulses and addictions of vulnerable people before there’s real pushback? AI chatbots aren’t helpful, fun or even correct most of the time. They aren’t friends to the friendless. Cut them out of your life.
“ChatGPT started coaching Sam on how to take drugs, recover from them and plan further binges. It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, ‘Hell yes—let’s go full trippy mode’”

A Calif. teen trusted ChatGPT for drug advice. He died from an overdose.
"Who on earth gives that advice?"

Thrilled that THE SECRET AGENT won the Critics Choice award for Best International Film but so disheartened and angry at how it happened. Mendonça Filho and producer Emilie Lesclaux were ambushed on the red carpet, no briefing, no chance of giving a speech, the whole thing an insulting disaster.
Gente? 😵💫 O Critics Choice Award de Melhor Filme Internacional de ‘O Agente Secreto’ foi entregue no carpet, sem qualquer aviso prévio, a Kleber Mendonça Filho e Emilie Lesclaux, produtora do longa.
