I last checked in on the Best Supporting Actress Oscar race on Sept. 25th. Here's the new update for the category with the actor's previous position in parentheses. Performances from TFF #46 films are in Bold.
1) Laura Dern/Marriage Story (1)
2) Jennifer Lopez/Hustlers (2)
3) Margot Robbie/Once Upon a Time in...Hollywood (3)
4) Margot Robbie/Bombshell (-)
5) Annette Bening/The Report (4)
Other Possibles: Thomasin McKenzie/Jojo Rabbit, Maggie Smith/Downton Abbey, Shuzhen Zhao/The Farewell, Scarlett Johansson/Jojo Rabbit
Notes: Nicole Kidman (Bombshell) and Taylor Russell (Waves) have, for the moment, waned over the last month or so. The Margot Robbie double mention is likely to shake down to one or the other. My guess going forward is that she's more likely to get a nomination for Bombshell. We'll see.
BONG JOON HO TALKS PARASITE
My friend Tomris Laffly had a fantastic interview with Parasite director Bong Joon Ho at rogerebert.com this past week. Parasite is, perhaps, the most talked about film that appeared at TFF #46. It's a critical darling (Metacritic has it at 95). The film was already hot after its Palme d"Or win at Cannes in May and the heat has steadily increased as it has moved through the fall fest season toward its eventual U.S. release this past week.
Here's the link to the interview.
MARRIAGE STORY HAS NEW LOOKS
Netflix unveiled a new trailer and a new poster for Noah Baumbach's Marriage Story recently. Here's the new poster featuring the "Official Selection of the Telluride Film Festival" banner:
And here from YouTube is the new trailer for the film:
And a reminder here that I'm on the tank for a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Julie Hagerty and maybe a Supporting Actor nod for Ray Liotta.
OFF THE RADAR...
Not long ago we ran across the news that Alexander Payne was readying his next project to star Mads Mikkelsen. As you might surmise, I immediately put it on my watch list as a possible, nee, probable selection for TFF #47 owing to Payne's past with the fest.
Now, however, that seems to have gone away as Deadline reports that the project has fallen apart. Mike Fleming revealed late this week that the Norwegian journalist upon which the project is based terminated his agreement to make the film. The decision came with mere days left before the film was scheduled to begin filming.
