In celebration of Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla premiering at the Venice International Film Festival, lets all take a moment to revisit the greatest work to come out of the Coppola family.
And before any of you start, this is not a “diversity pick”. She’s here because she gave one of the best performances of the year. She deserves it. End of discussion.

Idk why everyone keeps saying Elton John is the 19th EGOT winner when he’s actually the 20th. Like, I know we’ve all read the allegations, but we can’t just erase Lydia Tár from history. Regardless of what she did later in life, she earned her EGOT.
Anyways, the Barbie discourse is already insufferable. I saw the film 7 times in theaters. I love it. But using feminist rhetoric to diminish the accomplishments of other women who were nominated is not it. All you’re doing is making Barbie this season’s villain.
Been thinking a lot about how unappreciated Damien Chazelle's Babylon was by audiences and the Academy. This scene is a perfect example of a master at work. The direction, the golden-age-of-Hollywood cinematography, the jazzy editing, the iconic Voodoo Mama score by Justin
It's honestly insane how many incredible films that came out in 2021 went completely under the radar for any serious awards consideration. Like, an abnormally large amount of them.
While we're all talking about Dominique Fishback right now, can we all acknowledge how unappreciated she was in Judas and the Black Messiah? Her performance is genuinely stunning work that deserved way more awards consideration than it got.
Starting to think Emily Blunt is the frontrunner in Supporting Actress. I really wouldn’t be shocked if she won one of or both of SAG/BAFTA. If she’s in a Best Picture winner… idk I kinda think it makes a lot of sense.
Ok, so I think we all have this 8 in Picture:
Barbie
Oppenheimer
KOTFM
Holdovers
Poor Things
Maestro
Past Lives
American Fiction
And then some combo of these for the final two spots?
Anatomy of a Fall
May December
The Zone of Interest
The Color Purple
The Whale

The Whale: Tokyo Drift

Charlie Five
Charlie Whale 6
Whale Seven

I need a rewatch, but I think Lily Gladstone’s work in Killers of the Flower Moon ranks among my favorite performances of all time. I’ve never had the experience of seeing a picture of an actor the day after watching the film and tearing up thinking about their performance.
Dorothy Parker was a writer who helped create the Hollywood Anti Nazi League in 1936. In 1950, she was blacklisted during the HUAC investigations for being prematurely anti-fascist. She was one of many who were punished for condemning fascism before it was “acceptable”.
Susan Sarandon has been dropped by her talent agency UTA after being vocal about the ongoing genocide happening in Palestine at a pro-Palestinian rally.

Movies aren’t plot delivery machines. No scene is inherently necessary to a film. That’s not how filmmaking works. This is simple. If a scene is in the film, the filmmakers thought it was necessary. If a scene isn’t in the film, the filmmakers thought it wasn’t necessary.
'Jeanne du Barry' isn't competing In Competition, which means that Brie doesn't have to see it as part of her duty on the Jury. So... this headline is absolutely pointless and just encourages misogynistic comments.
Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, and Variety are all owned by (and members of) the AMPTP. So, they will be pushing anti-union rhetoric HARD for the next few months. Get used to seeing misleading tweets like this twisting words to push anti-union agendas from the major trades.
I saw Demi Lovato live tonight with my sister (who loves Demi). I knew like 3 songs by osmosis but she did perform "Cool for the Summer" while wearing a pride flag and it was kind of incredible.
Since BAFTA and SAG only split on Actress, we basically have to ask who will go 4/4 with the acting categories.
So far this decade:
SAG - 10/12
BAFTA - 7/12
I REALLY think American Fiction can win Screenplay. It’s a film about writers and differing perspectives on artistic value/merit. Also, it’s a comedy (academy likes in screenplay), and the screenplay is the primary focus contrary to the other 3 big contenders.
ASC NOMS FEATURE FILM NOMINEES
Edward Lachman - "El Conde"
Matthew Libatique - "Maestro"
Rodrigo Prieto - "Killers of the Flower Moon"
Robbie Ryan - "Poor Things"
Hoyte van Hoytema - "Oppenheimer"
A stray cat wandered into our yard yesterday. It ate a bunch of food, played with us, vomited all of the food in our yard, and then left. Hence, we named it Nellie LaRoy.
Succession could plausibly get 9 acting nominations in the main categories:
Sarah Snook
Jeremy Strong
Kieran Culkin
Brian Cox
Matthew Macfadyen
Alan Ruck
Alexander Skarsgard
Nicholas Braun
J Smith-Cameron
Including guest actors it could get 12 or 13 acting noms.
Kristen Stewart is a higher rated director than:
Steven Spielberg
Martin Scorsese
Quentin Tarantino
David Fincher
Christopher Nolan
Francis Ford Coppola
Stanley Kubrick
Alfred Hitchcock
Everything is right in the world
Portrait of a Lady on Fire’s ending never fails to ruin me. You don’t notice the silence of the film until you hear the music. It’s such an overwhelming explosion of emotion. Greatest film of all time??
OH. MY. GOD. Absolutely brilliant work from Justine Triet. Anatomy of a Fall interrogates the very idea of truth. Truth is nothing more than the lenses through which we view it. Not everything can be black and white. I won’t stop thinking about this for a LONG time.
A really strong opening for Asteroid City! An 83 places it among Anderson’s best, and as more reviews roll in I could even see it trend up a point or two.
OH MY GOD. GUYS. THE KIDS CHOICE AWARDS JUST SNUBBED EEAAO FOR TOP GUN. THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING ABOUT THE BEST PICTURE RACE. IS TOP GUN WINNING NOW!?!?!?!?!?
