So instead, the group went with “Don’t Look Up” from Adam McKay and David Sirota in original, with “CODA” tacking another trophy for adapted following BAFTA.And the final shoe to drop was the American Society of Cinematographers delivering Greig Fraser (“Dune”) the statuette, his second win following “Lion” (2016).

Motion Picture Association Seeks Vast Expansion of California Tax Credit

Gene Maddaus Senior Media WriterThe Motion Picture Association unveiled a report on Friday that calls for a vast expansion of the California film and television tax credit.The report contends that the credit generates billions of dollars in economic benefits for the state and produces a positive return in state and local tax revenue. The report advocates expanding the state credits for film and TV production and for the construction of soundstages, as well as creating a new credit for visual effects work.The report also argues for making the existing credits refundable or transferrable, which would allow studios to benefit even if they do not have tax liability in the state.The MPA represents six studios — Disney, Netflix, Warner Bros., Sony, Universal and Paramount — and has led the charge in pushing for increases in state tax credits across the country over the last two decades.

Jared Leto says cinemas probably “wouldn’t exist” without Marvel movies

Jared Leto has said that he doesn’t believe cinemas would have survived had it not been for the success of the Marvel films.The actor, who portrays otherworldly bloodsucker Morbius in the upcoming Marvel movie of the same name, said in a new interview that cinemas most likely still operate because of the draw such comic book films have on audiences.“If it wasn’t for Marvel films, I don’t even know if theatres would exist,” he told Variety. He admitted that he is “a bit of a snob when it comes to film” but that he’s worried about the financial health of the industry, and therefore thinks that superhero blockbusters need to be appreciated for the vital lifeline they supply.“It doesn’t seem like there’s room for everyone, and that starts to become a little heartbreaking,” he added, suggesting that he’s also cognisant of Marvel’s dominance.Elsewhere in the interview, the actor and musician said that he’d continue portraying the character in potential sequels.
