VARIETY ASSESSES OSCAR'S BEST PICTURE NOMINEES
In my last post I linked to an Indiewire analysis of each of this year's nine Best Picture nominees and their various pathways to a Best Picture win. Today I'm passing along a Jenelle Riley piece from Variety that examines those nominees in much the same way. Riley looks at each of the nominees advantages and challenges that they face over the next month.
That piece is linked here.
INDIEWIRE TALKS TO SEBASTIAN LELIO
Recently Indiewire's Eric Kohn sat down and interviewed Sebastian Lelio, the writer/director of the Oscar nominated foreign language film from Chile, A Fantastic Woman. A Fantastic Woman played TFF #44 last Labor Day and it was the second film of Lelio's career that was featured at Telluride. In 2013, his Gloria also made the TFF lineup.
A Fantastic Women also won three prizes at last year's Berlin International Film Festival.
Here is that interview from Indiewire.
