REPRISING TFF #44
Was perusing Gary Meyer's Eat, Drink Films website over the weekend and discovered a fine wrap-up of this year's Telluride Film Festival from Risa Nye. I have linked it here.
Risa hits many of the highlights of the weekend and specifically talks Downsizing, Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool, Darkest Hour, Lean on Pete, Lady Bird, Jamaica Man, The Rider, Hostiles, Love Cecil, An Inconvenient Sequel, Wonderstruck, The Cotton Club Encore and Battle of the Sexes.
STONE'S TAKE ON THE OSCAR RACE
Awards Daily's Sasha Stone updates her Oscar prediction every Friday so I thought I'd take a look at last Friday's list and sort of get a feel for where this year's Telluride crop might be headed. I t should be noted that Stone doesn't list all 24 categories as yet but does mention 14 of them.
Currently she has Joe Wright's Darkest Hour and Guillermo Del Toro's The Shape of Water leading the way with 10 nominations each.
She has Darkest Hour with: Picture, Direction, Actor, Supporting Actress, Supporting Actor, Original Screenplay, Cinematography, Editing, Costumes and Makeup.
The Shape of Water would have these nominations: Picture, Direction, Actress, Supporting Actress, Supporting Actor (Jenkins), Original Screenplay, Cinematography, Editing, Costumes and Makeup.
Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird would land three nominations: Picture, Supporting Actress and Original Screenplay.
Battle of the Sexes gets a nomination for Emma Stone for Best Actress.
Hostiles gets a nomination for Adapted Screenplay as does Wonderstruck.
Faces/Places gets nominated for Documentary Feature.
Loving Vincent gets a nom for Animated Feature.
She also lists "Contenders", films/performers that she doesn't currently list as nominees but which could get in.
That potential exists for other nominations for:
The Shape of Water: Supporting Actor (Shannon)
Lady Bird: Direction, Actress
Battle of the Sexes: Picture, Direction
Hostiles: Picture
Wonderstruck: Picture, Direction
Downsizing: Picture, Direction, Actor, Supporting Actress
Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool: Actress

SHAPE OF WATER AND WONDERSTRUCK
We got a new "inside look" at Del Toro's The Shape of Water this weekend from SlashFilm. The story and the video are both here.
Additionally, we also got a new clip from Todd Haynes Wonderstruck that runs just over four minutes. The new clip is below from YouTube:
The Shape of Water opens on Dec. 8 and Wonderstruck opens on Oct. 20.
