THIS YEAR'S OSCAR CROP AND TFF REGULARS
At the end of last week not one but three major Oscar prediction groups published articles focusing on the films that they see as possible players for awards season glory. Writers for Awards Daily, Variety and Entertainment Weekly all provided lists.
Taking a look, I noticed, to little surprise, that a number of films appeared on all three lists and a number also will be directed by people with past appearances at Telluride which means they have to be considered among the films that could make the SHOW. So...here are the films from all three lists that have a TFF legacy director:
Barry Jenkins' If Beale Street Could Talk
Damien Chazelle's First Man
Steve McQueen's Widows
Making at least two of the lists:
Mike Leigh's Peterloo
Jacques Audiard's The Sisters Brothers
Jason Reitman's The Frontrunner
Alfonso Cuaron's Roma
Yann Damange's White Boy Rick
And with one mention:
David Mackenzie's Outlaw King
Pawel Pawlikowski's Cold War
Julian Schnabel's At Eternity's Gate
The complete articles can be found here from Entertainment Weekly, Variety and Awards Daily
MORE ON DON Q
In light of last week's news that Terry Gilliam's The Man Who Killed Don Quixote has been programmed to screen at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival despite having lost a court case in France concerning the ownership of the film's rights, came another story at the end of last week from Indiewire's Michael Nordine.
The IW story focuses on the claims of producer Marilea Besuievsky who says that Paulo Branco, who won the court case, may have over claimed the extent of the court victory.
Besuievsky, being quoted from a Spanish language publication, El Espanol, says that Gilliam has the right to release the film anywhere in the world.
So...back on the TFF watch list it goes...
The Indiewire article is here.
More to come tomorrow.
