Diane Ladd’s passing today saddens me but also makes me so glad our TCM film festival and cruise exist. Diane joined us on the cruise in 2019 and it was so special to hear her stories and feel her passion firsthand. Sending love to her family and friends.

What a pleasure to interview the ridiculously impressive cast of Jay Kelly, directed by Noah Baumbach, at a special screening of the film. It’s in theaters next month (and on Netflix in December) and it’ll remind you of everything from Preston Sturges to Cinema Paradiso. Just gorgeous.

Today is the day this guy’s new movie comes out. Paul Thomas Anderson is an 11-time Academy Award nominee who will be a 14-time nominee come January. And thanks to the spectacular One Battle After Another, he should finally be an Oscar winner by March.

Catching up with one of this year’s Silver Medallion tribute recipients (and great friend to us at TCM), Ethan Hawke. He’s here in Telluride with the Richard Linklater drama Blue Moon, where he plays songwriter Lorenz Hart, and his fascinating Merle Haggard documentary, Highway 99: A Double Album.

It’s Christopher Plummer day on @tcmtv.bsky.social! I’ll have an afternoon of his films (starting with Inside Daisy Clover) before @benmank77.bsky.social introduces our premiere of The Sound of Music. Here’s my life-highlight moment when I met him right after he won his Oscar for Beginners in 2012.

It’s a fun night on @tcmtv.bsky.social tonight as we celebrate the acting career of future Oscar-winning director Ron Howard. I’ll have American Graffiti & The Courtship of Eddie’s Father of course, but the lineup also includes the TCM premiere of The Spikes Gang from 1974 with Lee Marvin.

Please allow me one last shot from this weekend because sharing the stage for an hour with the most Oscar-nominated living director was quite special. When I met Martin Scorsese he said “I feel like I already know you” which pretty much made my year. He’s a wonderful friend to @tcmtv.bsky.social.

Shout-out to the guy in the middle who stepped in on short notice to make our TCM Pop-Up Film Festival x 92NY such a wonderful experience for our fans. I know I’ll never forget chatting with him and the equally fantastic Drew Barrymore about E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial.

Just out of #ACompleteUnknown & I’m pleased to say Timothée Chalamet is captivating & utterly convincing as Bob Dylan. He’ll definitely earn his 2nd Best Actor nomination & could well become the youngest ever winner in that category. Edward Norton & Monica Barbaro also terrific.
