UPDATED OSCAR PREDICTIONS: BEST PICTURE AND DIRECTOR
MTFB had its first set of Oscar predictions up two weeks ago and it felt like it was time to begin updating them so I've started that process today with updates for Best Picture and Best Direction. I'll continue to update two categories each post for the next little bit and will eventually beginning to expand the predictions beyond the Big 8 categories as we move deeper into awards season.

On Thursday, I'll update Best Actress and Actor.
FIRST MAN LAUNCHES
Damian Chazelle's First Man opened last Friday. The film is still my choice for Best Film of the Year...though I still have other films to see...specifically Beale Street, Green Book and Vice which sound as if they all might have the goods to relegate First Man to second place.
As you might expect, with its release came a good amount of interviews and profile pieces. I have linked a few here for your perusal.

NEWS FOR CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME?
Producers of Marielle Heller's Can You Ever Forgive Me? dropped a new poster for the film last week. Sadly it boasts the Toronto International Film Fest logo rather than Telluride's. Despite that I decided to go ahead and post it here:
As I looked at past posts before writing today's tidbits I discovered that I haven't included a picture of the first poster that was out for the film. So here that is as well:
Meanwhile, ShowBiz411 posted an interview yesterday with actor Richard E. Grant who co-stars with Melissa McCarthy in the film. Here's the link to that interview.
Can You Ever Forgive Me? opens in the U.S. on Friday.
That's your Monday MTFB. More to come on Thursday.
