Get Your Ticket/Cannes Poster/On the Road Pix/Best Actor

Good Morning!

Big week as I shepherd the Oklahoma State Speech Tournament from beginning to end...

GET YOUR TICKET

The Telluride Film Festival edition #39 is open for business.  The announcement this week came that the box office is open for the 39th Telluride Film Festival.  Check it here:

If all goes well, I'll be back for my 7th go-round this year.

ON THE ROAD PIX

 This week saw the release of a slew of stills from Walter Salles "On the Road".  It's got a high Cannes/Telluride profile.  Here's a couple of the pix via The Playlist:

BEST ACTOR



Nobody disputes that Telluride has been a springboard to winning the Best Actor Oscar of late.  Ask Daniel Day Lewis, Forest Whitaker, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Colin Firth and Jean Dujardin.  So when Rope of Silicon's Bred Brevet lists Best Actor candidates you have to think that those names could provide some clues about possible Telluride #39 films.  Take a look at the ROS post here:

Of particular note, in as far as TFF #39 might be concerned are: Bill Murray, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robert Pattinson and Terrence Stamp.


That'll do for a Monday...later...
