COUNTING DOWN
As I post this on Monday morning ( August 24th) the reality of TFF #53 is now down to 10 days. As with most years, the anticipation is what dominates now. Most of the detective work is complete. Oh, sure, they'll be some continued scuttlebutt to pass a long but in the last two weeks before the fest, additional information is hard to come by. So now, it's about the wait.
The Patterson's will be pulling on Wednesday morning next week. Some years ago we began to give ourselves a two day window to drive. Breaking the journey into a two day affair gives us a bit of time to acclimate before the fest cranks up on Friday.
It's a special year in 2026 as my grandson will be joining us. He says he's very excited.
So...the wait...
THE PEOPLE'S TELLURIDE-14TH EDITION
For the 14th year MTFB is soliciting your input for The People's Telluride. All you have to do is watch films during the fest and then, when it's all over, report to me your assessment of each film on a 1-5 scale with 1 being "UGH!" and 5 being "GREAT".
Report your ratings to: mpgort@gmail.com
The deadline for this year to turn in your ratings will be Sept. 15th.
I'll compile all of your responses and post those a few days after the festival.
INDIEWIRE TALKS POSSIBLE DOUBLE OSCAR NOMINEES FOR THIS YEAR
Anne Thompson at Indiewire had a piece up on which actors might have a shot at getting more than one acting Oscar nomination for this year. The article includes some folks who might be in Telluride next week.
Here's the rundown from her list of possibilities who probably have films at TFF #53 (listed in the order that Thompson addresses them in the post):
Sandra Huller: MTFB thinks Huller will have two films at Telluride: Fatherland and Rose. She also has her roles in Project Hail Mary and Digger that could merit some Oscar conversation.
Penelope Cruz: We think Cruz's La Bola Negra will be at TFF #53. Cruz also has roles in The Invite and Bunker.
Willem Dafoe: His Tenzing is probable for Telluride. He also is in Werewolf and Late Fame.
Other outside shots mentioned by Thompson include Anne Hathaway who could still potentially be at Telluride with Verity and Robert Pattinson if Primetime makes a late run from Venice to T-ride.

THIS AND THAT...
***Netflix has made it official that Saturn Returns will not be a 2026 release. That all but closes the door on any Telluride appearance.
***Tenzing will have a limited theatrical release on Oct. 9th.
