Obsessing about the Telluride Film Festival and the film awards season since 2008!

After the announcements from The Screen Actors Guild and The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the lull in the "12 Years a Slave" momentum has been stymied, I think.
It feels like that there was some loss of momentum after some of the critic group announcements, but the last two days have put some wind back in its sails.
Golden Globe breakdown:
Telluride #40 Films:
12 Years a Slave (7 nominations): Best Picture (Drama), Director, Actor (Drama), Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Screenplay, Score.
Nebraska: (5 nominations): Best Picture (Comedy/Musical), Director, Actor (Comedy), Supporting Actress, Screenplay.
Gravity (4 nominations): Best Picture (Drama), Director, Actress (Drama), Score.
Inside Llewyn Davis (3 nominations): Best Picture (Comedy/Musical), Actor (Comedy/Musical), Song.
All is Lost (2 nominations): Best Actor (Drama), Score.
Labor Day (1 nomination): Best Actress (Drama).
3 Foreign Language nominations: Blue is the Warmest Color, The Wind Rises, The Past.
Also 2 nominations for TFF #39 films: Greta Gerwig's Best Actress (Comedy/Musical) nomination for Frances Ha and the Best Foreign Language nomination for The Hunt.

Surprises???
Kate Winslet's "Labor Day" Best actress nomination.
No Oprah for Supporting Actress???( actually no "Butler" anywhere on the GG list this morning). Sally Hawkins seems to have benefited.
No Woody Allen love for Picture, Director or Screenplay.
Glad to see: "Inside Llewyn Davis" love for the film and Oscar Isaac. Also happy to see Redford's name especially after not seeing it yesterday from the SAG nominations.
And a nice boost for "Nebraska" which, I think, over-performed this morning with its 5 nominations. Particularly pleased that Alexander Payne got a directing nod.
Friend of the blog Chris Schiller tweeted out an interesting thought this weekend. He speculated on some possible TFF#40 "2fers". People that might star in 2 films showing as a part of the SHOW. Last year Mads Mikkelsen fit that bill being in both "A Royal Affair" and "The Hunt" (see below, by the way).
Schiller's tweet:
2fer predictions/hopes for#TFF40Benedict Cumberbatch(THE FIFTH ESTATE, AUGUST:OSAGE COUNTY) Tilda Swinton(THE ZERO THEOREM, ONLY LOVERS…)
So that got me to thinking, "what other '2fers' could pop up?" Not that they will or that I think that they will, but, you know, what could? Here's the list I came up with: Michael Fassbender: "The Counselor' and "12 Years a Slave" Joaquin Phoenix: "Her" and "The Immigrant" Christian Bale: "Out of the Furnace" and "American Hustle" Amy Adams: "American Hustle" and "Her" Jeremy Renner: "American Hustle" and "The Immigrant" Tom Hanks: "Captain Phillips" and "Saving Mr. Banks" Matthew McConnaughey: "Dallas Buyers Club" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" Daniel Bruhl: (actually a 3fer): "A Most Wanted Man", "Rush" and "The Fifth Estate" Jean Dujardin; (also a 3fer): "The Monuments Men", "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Mobius" George Clooney (kind of a 3fer): "The Monuments Men", "Gravity" and producing "August: Osage County" And this note...Cumberbatch also a "3fer" as he appears in "12 Years a Slave". Who else? Drop me a line if there are others that you can think of that are "2fers" or more! JUDI AND PHILOMENA
The Weinstein Company has a crazy lineup of end of the year/awards season/high profile films in its basket: "The Immigrant" "August: Osage County" "Grace of Monaco" "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" "The Butler" "Only God Forgives" and others... Perhaps the "smallest" of these is "Philomena" starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan of all people.
If you read this blog much, you know that I'm pretty high on the notion that James Gray's "The Immigrant" will make this year's program and if the TWC peeps are going to have a second film at TFF #40...this might be the one.
Over the weekend we began to see pictures from the film. Both HitFix and Rope of Silicon posted. Here are the links to those stories:
Why do I think that we could see this film over Labor Day?
I just have a feeling that the TWC train is going to have more than one pony at TFF this year. Last year they were repped by "The Sapphires" and the 5 min. (or so) of "The Immigrant" that was a part of the Marion Cotillard tribute and though one TWC film is really the norm at TFF...again, I just have a feeling and "Philomena" is the film that's giving me the vibe.
Also, it's directed by Stephen Frears who has had films crop up at Telluride from time to time: "Tamara Drewe" "Sammie and Rosie Get Laid". He was a 1987 TFF tributee as well.
THE HUNT
Thomas Vinterberg's "The Hunt" opened in limited release last weekend. I have linked interviews with Vinterberg and his star, TFF#39 tributee Mads Mikkelsen below:
Good Monday to All. I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable 4th of July weekend.
BRITS PRODUCE
Two weeks ago, I was looking at domestic distributors that seem to be frequently represented at the Telluride Film Festival. Last week I focused on smaller scale domestic distributors and a group of individuals that also have a frequent presence. This week I'm going to be looking at European film production companies that seem to pop up in film credits at Telluride with some frequency.
Today and tomorrow will be centered on the British. The end of the week on the French (and maybe one other).
But let's start with the U.K.:
BBC FILMS
Here's what I have been able to track down from the last half decade vis-a-vis BBC Films at Telluride:
2008: Millions
2009: Fish Tank, Bright Star, An Education
2010: The First Grader, Tamara Drewe
2011: We Have to Talk About Kevin
2012: Ginger and Rosa
BBC Films most likely Telluride offerings for 2013 would include:
"The Invisible Woman" and "Philomena". There actually seems to have been a backwards confirmation for "The Invisible Woman" as a TFF #40 film according to a Daily Mail story from June 27:
"Philomena" has also been fairly high on my list of Telluride possibles. I wouldn't be surprised if both films make the cut for The SHOW.
UK FILM COUNCIL
This British production house has an even more prevalent profile for Telluride over the past decade than BBC Films does, although they were shut out in 2012.
The UK Film Council track record over the past decade:
2003: Intermission, Touching the Void
2004: Enduring Love, Merchant of Venice
2006: Venus, The Last King of Scotland, Deep Water
2007: When Did You Last See Your Father, Brick Lane
2008: Happy-Go-Lucky
2009: Fish Tank, Bright Star
2010: Tamara Drewe, The King's Speech
2011: Shame, We Need to Talk About Kevin
So They've been represented in 8 of the last 10 years and often with 2 films in those years that they have been represented. The trouble is that there doesn't seem to be a lot to chose from in the UK Film Council pantheon of films at the moment.
Maybe the most likely is Kevin Macdonald's "How I Live Now". Macdonald, at one point, was often represented at Telluride but hasn't had a film play TFF since 2007's "My Enemy's Enemy". The film stars Saoirse Ronan.
We could see Ken Loach's documentary about WWII Britain, "The Spirit of '45". It played the Berlin Fest.
The third (and least likely possibility from my perspective) is Jonathan Glazer's highly anticipated "Under the Skin" starring Scarlett Johansson as an alien in human form.
Chances:
"How I Live Now" 50%
"Spirit of 45" 30%
"Under the Skin" 15%
Tomorrow I'll take a look at Film4 and Film Four...
MADS MIKKELSEN: THE HUNT
TFF #39 Tributee and current buzz-meister (for his role as Hannibal Lecter on NBC's "Hannibal"), Mads Mikkelsen was something of a rarity at last year's fest as he was the lead in 2 films: "A Royal Affair" and "The Hunt". He was also the lead in Cannes competition film "Michael Kolhaus". Anne Thompson sat down with the very busy actor while he was in Telluride and talked to him. Thompson posted the interview on her Thompson on Hollywood site this past week. Here it is:
This past week The Playlist highlighted the release of the trailer for this ground breaking Saudi film that was featured at TFF #39. Here's the link to that post with the trailer included:
You have to wonder if The Golden Globes results ever have any effect on Oscar. Personally, I'm dubious. Here are last night's results and a breakdown and commentary below:
Best Song: Skyfall
Best Score: Life of Pi
Best Animated Feature: Brave
Best Foreign Language Film: Amour
Best Screenplay: Quentin Tarantino/Django Unchained
Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz/Django Unchained
Best Supporting Actress: Anne Hathaway
Best Actor (Musical/Comedy): Hugh Jackman/Les Miserables
Best Actress (Musical/comedy): Jennifer Lawrence/Silver
Linings Playbook
Best Actor (Drama): Daniel Day Lewis/Lincoln
Best Actress (Drama): Jessica Chastain/Zero Dark Thirty
Best Dirctor: Ben Affleck/Argo
Best Picture (Musical/Comedy): Les Miserables
Best Picture (Drama): Argo
“Argo’s” wins were the big surprise of the evening. “Perceived Oscar f ront-runner “Lincoln”
ended the night with a single trophy for Daniel Day Lewis.
“Les Mis” also had a good evening as did Tarantino’s “Django”.
The Cristoph Waltz win was a bit of a stunner.
And the expected wins for both Lawrence and Chastain keep
that alive as the tightest Oscar race going with Emanuelle Riva still a player
in that category as well.
Does it mean anything for Oscar? Maybe, but likely only in the case of “Argo”
which will need every boost it can get since it lacks a Best Director
nomination from the Academy.
There is a notion going around that “Argo” may actually
benefit from the Ben Affleck snub and pick up some votes for Best Picture as a
way to atone for that oversight.
Globe breakdown:
Les Miz: 3, (Pset Pic (Music/Comedy), Best Actor (same)<
Best Supporting Actress
Argo: 2, Best Picture (Drama), Best Director
Django Unchained; 2, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay
All other films had but a single win.
Telluride #39: 3 Globes…2 for “Argo” and Best Foreign
Language for “Amour”
GURUS OF GOLD
Movie City News' Gurus of Gold were surveyed after Oscar nominations were announced Thursday morning and those results have been posted:
Here's a partial list of what the Gurus of Gold are currently predicting for Oscar night...
Best Foreign Language Film: "Amour" is way out front. "A Royal Affair" is a distant second.
Best Doc: "The Gatekeepers" has the lead with "Searching for Sugarman" within striking distance.
Best Animated Feature: It's a close two way horse race between "Wreck It Ralph" and "Frankenweenie"
Best Adapted Screenplay: Tony Kushner/Lincoln is way out front. David O. Russell/Silver Linings is a distant second.
Best Original Screenplay: Michael Haneke/Amour and Mark Boal/Zero Dark Thirty are very, very tight.
Best Supporting Actress: Anne Hathaway/Les Mis is the gigantic favorite. Sally Field/Lincoln is a distant second.
Best Supporting Actor: Tommy Lee Jones/Lincoln is way out in front with Robert DeNiro/Silver Linings and Philip Seymour Hoffman/The Master bunched at second and third.
Best Actress: It's a three way free for all with Jennifer Lawrence/Silver Linings, Jessica Chastain/Zero Dark Thirty and Emanuelle Riva/Amour all closely bunched together.
Best Actor: Daniel Day Lewis/Lincoln is the overwhelming favorite. None of the other nominees really stands out as being in second place.
Best Direction: Steven Spielberg/Lincoln is a very solid leader with Ang Lee/Life of Pi sitting at #2.
Best Picture: "Lincoln" is the prohibitive choice among the Gurus. "Silver Linings PLaybook" and "Life of PI" are now regarded as having the best (and not terribly good) shot at stopping the "Lincoln" juggernaut.
Use the above links to scope out 21 Oscar categories and where the Gurus have ranks each nominee.
If the Gurus are 100% accurate (as of this posting) Oscar night would see the following results:
"Skyfall" wins 3: Song, Sound Mixing and Sound Editing (and this would create a cool trivia question in the future..."Which film won the second most Oscars at Oscar #85?")
"Amour" wins 2: Foreign Film and Original Screenplay
"Life of Pi" wins 2: Cinematography and Visual Effects
Anna Karenina wins 2: Production Design and Costumes
With one apiece: "Les Miserables", "Silver Linings Playbook", "Wreck It Ralph", "The Gatekeepers", "Zero Dark Thirty" and "The Hobbit".
"Argo" gets shut out.
TFF #39 films would account for 3 Oscars with the "Short" categories still outstanding and where TFF could still pick up a couple from "Paperman" or "Asad".
As I have been reporting since just days after the close of this year's Festival, The TFF organizers have been urging a creation of a new theater that would be ready for use for this year's (2013) 40th Anniversary Telluride Film Festival. TFF had pledged $750,000 toward that end (the renovation of The Haney Pavilion in City Park). The Telluride Town Council would still need to find the majority of the funding and also agree to that proposal. Well, action was taken this past week...here's the story from The Telluride Daily Planet:
Good Monday to Everybody! Hope it was a good weekend.
The most hilarious tidbit I ran across this weekend was the news that John Cusack is putting together a biopic about Rush Limbaugh. And, you know, I couldn't resist. I have begun suggesting titles for the film via Twitter. Look for the hashtag #rushlimbaughmovietitles. No word yet from John Cusack's people if they like my suggestions...Here's one of them: "Life of (eating) Pie"...
FAC UPDATE: PICTURE/DIRECTOR
After last week's massive 10 category post to update the Film Awards Clearinghouse, I'm back to updating 2-3 categories per week. I expect to drop another full view of the Big Ten categories sometime between Thanksgiving and the end of the year.
The FAC reviews the Oscar predictions of the following to arrive at its "predictions":
Sasha Stone/Awards Daily
Scott Feinberg/The Feinberg Forecast-The Hollywood Reporter
Kristopher Tapley/InContention-HitFix
Anne Thompson/Thompson on Hollywood-IndieWire
Peter Knegt/IndieWire
Brad Brevet/Rope of Silicon
Clayton Davis/Awards Circuit
Nathaniel Rogers/Film Experience
Alex Carlson/Film Misery
As always the number in parenthesis to a title is its position vis-a-vis the last posting for that category on The FAC updates. Telluride #39 films are indicated in Bold. [ *** ='s HOT, ### ="s NOT].
BEST PICTURE
1) Argo (1)
2) Silver Linings Playbook (2)
3) Lincoln (3)
4) Life of Pi (4) (see above Rush Limbaugh biopic joke)
5) Les Miserables (5)
6) The Master (6)
7) Beasts of the Southern Wild (7) 8) Amour (8)
9) Hitchcock (9)
10) Flight (10)
11) Zero Dark Thirty (11)
12) Django Unchained (12)
13) Moonrise Kingdom (New-ish)***
14) The Sessions (13)
15) Promised Land (14)
Dropping out (again) Anna Karenina
Comments;
As you'd expect, a lot of stability as the prognosticators positions harden and a s there are fewer and fewer films that have yet to be seen (no changes in the 1 thru 12 spots). "Moonrise" probably is getting a little kick from its DVD/VOD release last week (I finally saw it and thought it was terrific...very Wes Anderson-y...which I usually like). Joe Wright's "Anna Karenina" is the film the suffers from that.
BEST DIRECTION
1) Ben Affleck/Argo (1)
2) Steven Spielberg/Lincoln (2)
3) Ang Lee/Life of Pi (3)
4) David O. Russell/Silver Linings Playbook (4)
5) Paul Thomas Anderson/The Master (5)
6) Tom Hooper/Les Miserables (6) 7) Michael Haneke/Amour (7)
8 ) Kathryn Bigelow/Zero Dark Thirty (8)
9) Benh Zeitlin/Beasts of the Southern Wild (9)
10) Sacha Gervasi/Hitchcock (10)
Comment: No changes at all here from last week.
Next week I'll update Picture and the Best Actress and Best Actor races.
EUROPEAN FILM AWARDS AND TELLURIDE
"Amour" director Michael Haneke
It isn't a secret that there is usually a good deal of European cinema represented from year to year at Telluride. Cannes titles sprout like weeds and there is also usually a decent representation from the Berlin Festival. Those connections were forcefully underscored this last weekend with the announcement of nominations for the European Film Awards...Here's what I mean...
EFA Best Picture includes: "Amour", "Shame", "The Hunt" and "Barbara"..4 of 6 nominees have Telluride pedigrees...
Best Direction: Haneke/Amour, Vinterberg/The Hunt, McQueen/Shame (3 of 5)
Best Actor: Fassbender/Shame, Mikkelsen/The Hunt, Trintignant/Amour (3 of 5)
Best Actress: Hoss/Barbara, Riva/Amour, Tiesel/Paradise Love (3 of 5)
Screenwriter: "Amour" and "The Hunt" (2 of 5)
Cinematography: "Amour" and "Shame" (2 of 5)
Editor: "Shame" and "The Hunt" (2 of 3)
Production Design: "A Royal Affair" (1 of 3)
Composer: "A Royal Affair" (1 of 4)
Overall 21 Telluride nominations in these 9 categories out of 41 possible nominations.
Interviews with "Amour" writer/director Michael Haneke with Gold Derby and Alicia Vikander of "A Royal Affair" with David Poland of The Movie City News:
And speaking of "A Royal Affair" (btw...met Mads Mikkelsen at The New Sheridan on the Saturday night of the festival...very quiet and unassuming...which was great. He was flying under the radar, but when "Hannibal" starts airing on NBC with him as the title character, Hannibal Lecter himself, I suspect his days of U.S. anonymity are soon to be over), here's a post from The Hollywood Reporter with a clip from the film:
Good Tuesday to Everyone...The first film happens in 3 days...I burn miles in 2!
JOIN THE FUN
In now in what is a constant refrain, remember that you're invited to join me and hosts Mitzi and Larry Mallard for the "Second Annual(?) Guide to the "Ride; Flow of the SHOW" Friday at 5:00pm at The River Club, 550 Depot in Telluride. Come...we'll banter about film and have a sip and a nosh...should be fun.
MORE INFORMED SPEC
Hollywood Elsewhere (Jeff Wells) claims that Oscar winner (and likely nominee again this year) Marion Cotillard and Dane Mads Mikkelsen are two of the traditional three tributees for this year's Telluride Film Festival. If true, you can expect to see Cotillard's "Rust and Bone" (#1 on this week's "Ten Bets") and Mikkelsen's "The Hunt" (# 19 on the additional "Ten Bets") and/or "A Royal Affair" (nowhere to be found on MTFB).
Marion Cotillard! I'm down with that!
Wells also runs through films that he has previously suggested are likely: "Argo", "Frances Ha", "Ginger and Rosa", "Hyde Park on Hudson", "Passion" and maybe "The Sapphires". He also claims that Terrence Malick's "To the Wonder" is now off the board.
I first noted this as a possibility for Telluride on July 16th with a piece that appeared from InContention/Hit Fix's Guy Lodge.
And, as a matter of fact, I included it this past week as #17 in the additional "Ten Bets" yesterday. Now comes the news from Kris Tapley at InContention/HitFix that the French animated film has a U.S. distributor. It's GKIDS. Tapley also speculates that it could pop up this weekend. Here's the link to his post: http://www.hitfix.com/in-contention/gkids-picks-up-ernest-celestine-for-2013-release
On a related matter...I had one of those moments yesterday for about an hour in which I thought I had stumbled across some possibly shattering info that would ultimately lead me to be able to up my prediction on the chances that "The Master" might still "sneak" as a part of the TFF #39 program this weekend. I was pretty excited...chased and chased...searched and googled. Doubled back....
We start today with British film producing companies and specifically with Film4. Film4's track record at Telluride recently looks like this:
2011: Shame
2010: Never Let Me Go, Another Year, 127 Hours
2008: Slumdog Millionaire, Happy Go Lucky
2007: Brick Lane, When Did You Last See Your Father
Film4 had no presence in 2008 and only began producing in 2004.
For 2012 the only film that seems like a Telluride fit is Walter Salles "On the Road" which actually might boost its profile enough to be back on my "Ten Bets" list for next week. We'll see on Monday.
CANNES LURKERS
The Playlist highlighted two Cannes competition films yesterday. Both of them have some potential to be on Telluride's program this year.
Thomas Vintenberg's "The Hunt" features Cannes Best Actor winner Mads Mikkelsen as a teacher accused of abuse. It is probably the more likely of the two. As a matter of fact I have it floating just below the "Ten Bets" list.
The other film that The Playlist featured is Xavier Dolan's "Laurence Anyways" which is looking for distribution (which could be a key as to whether we see it in the San Juans. "Laurence" deals with roles and identity following a sex change operation.
Another TFF #40 possibility is James Gray's "Low Life" with Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Renner and Joaquin Phoenix. Te Weinstein Company has picked it up for distribution and with their slate full for 2012 the expectation is that it will be put into play for 2013 and awards consideration will be a part of the decisions about positioning the release of the film making Telluride a possibility.
The 65th Cannes Film Festival came to a close yesterday and they closed the extravaganza with the traditional presentation of the Palme D'or and other awards. Here they are.
AWARDS FOR CANNES COMPETITION FILMS (Via Awards Daily)

CRITICAL RECEPTION
Both Ioncinema and Screen Daily spent a good deal of time compiling the collective critical response to the 22 films that were in competition in Cannes. The top 6 from the Ioncinema group:
1) Amour
2) Holy Motors
3) Beyond the Hills
4) Rust and Bone
4) You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet
4) Mud
Just on the Ioncinema cusp were: In the Fog and Moonrise Kingdom
When the charts are combined…here’s the critical top ten from Cannes
1) Amour
2) Beyond the Hills
3) Mud
4) In the Fog
5) You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet
6) Holy Motors and The Hunt
8) Moonrise Kingdom
9) The Angels Share
10) Killing Them Softly
Next: Rust and Bone
So what does all this mean for Telluride in 3 months?
Bank on seeing “Amour” and “Beyond the Hills”.
If “Rust and Bone” had won any prize at all, I’d also include it on the “bank on it” list…though I still think it’s highly likely.
“Reality”, which had lost some Telluride steam because of fairly weak critical reception over the last week…actually ended the festival back in the possible/probable category because of its Grand Prix win.
Two other T-ride probables that I think suffered some this past fortnight: “Cosmopolis” and “On the Road”.
Getting a boost for Telluride consideration among the competition films: “Mud”, “Holy Motors”, “The Hunt” “The Angel’s Share” and “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet”.
The two out of competition films that caught my eye with some (a lot of) Telluride potential were “The Sapphires” and “No”.
I’m still unconvinced that Carlos Reygadas “Post Tenebras Lux” will end up in Telluride despite its win for Direction.
Now, I spend the next 3 months ferreting out which of these actually is going to end up in Telluride on Labor Day and the other films that will join them.
BACK TO A DAILY
Michael’s Telluride Film Blog returns as a daily blog on Thursday (except for Sundays) and will run Daily until the 39th Telluride Film Festival comes to an end. Join me in my obsession!
