When Jeremy Irons won an Oscar in 1991 for the now mostly forgotten REVERSAL OF FORTUNE, he thanked David Cronenberg. That’s the move.
Honestly a good question for everyone: who do you think has given the best twins / “multiple roles in the same scenes”?

My first thought was Jeremy Irons in “Dead Ringers,” then Eddie Murphy in the “Nutty Professor” family scenes.

As I get older I realize this is one of my favorite scenes in THE EXORCIST, and its power is in its austerity. It’s pared down to its essence, and it carries the weight of the entire movie.

There is a publicist named Scott Adkins who emails me once a month or so, and that’s not enough frequency to train my brain to not think, just for a second, that I’m getting an email from the legendary action star.

I wrote about DOG DAY AFTERNOON and its complicated legacy among trans viewers for my reader's choice series. My co-writer Caden Mark Gardner will be discussing many of these same topics tonight on TCM before this film is shown. Please tune in!

I have no opinion or working memory of ROGUE ONE but it’s been funny to see it rise and fall and rise so contentiously in the rankings over the years. It’s the only one of the SW films that does this to the degree it does
i would push rogue one down and bring solo and the last jedi up. i’d also place attack of the clones at the bottom.
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

If you’ve never seen THE HARDER THEY COME, it’s a low budget folk hero story starring Jimmy Cliff, and it’s authentic and charming and scrappy. Then in the middle of the movie, Cliff’s character walks into a recording studio and just lays down an all-timer on camera. youtu.be/FHAbj1pIT4g?...

We’re crushed to hear the news that the great Udo Kier has passed at the age of 81. As iconic as he was prolific, Kier’s contributions to the genre span nearly 300 screen credits, from BLOOD FOR DRACULA to BACURAU and beyond. Our condolences go out to his friends, family and legions of fans.

I once attended a group dinner with Udo Kier. A smaller gathering might have given me a panic attack; his gaze was as magnetic as it was terrifying. I believe he knew this, recognized its effect on me, and amused the shit out of himself with this knowledge.

Absolutely otherworldly. RIP.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

An answer!
The nom would be for both roles, Nic Cage was nominated for both Charlie and Donald Kaufman in Adaptation., and Peter Sellers was nominated for all 3 roles he played in Dr. Strangelove

This reminded me of a dumb Oscar question I had: if MBJ is nominated for SINNERS, do they have to designate which role he’s nominated for? Or would the nom be for both roles?

Not remotely a 1:1 but Fredric March won for playing two roles (ish) in DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE in 1932. What happens here?
My most alienating Oscar opinion of the year is that Wicked pt deux is not a sequel but the simultaneously shot second half of one movie and that therefore it'd be weird to renominate the two stars. This isn't the Emmys; you don't get rewarded for the same role year after year. Will delete shortly.

Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.
Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.
