OUT OF THE FURNACE INTO THE (OSCAR) FURNACE

Scott Cooper's "Out of the Furnace" has a small Telluride possibility that has grown a bit in the past month and yesterday's announcement that its release date was being moved to a more awards-centric date (November) makes it a slightly larger possible.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROGER

Here's Reitman's essay from Entertainment Weekly:
