Tim Gray Senior Vice PresidentWe are in the midst of Hollywood’s two big film events. One is the Oscar race, in which film artists salute great work.The other is the surrounding mini-industry that involves campaigners, contenders, agents, journalists and Oscar pundits.There is always confusion because the latter event is also called the Oscar race — but in fact, the two are very different species.Oscar Race #1 features major names (this year including Nicole Kidman, Will Smith, Steven Spielberg), newcomer/vets (Troy Kotsur, Ciaran Hinds) plus top-of-the-line artisans.

Nicole is looking amazing!" Others called the styling both "confusing" as well as "surprising."The stunning – albeit controversial – photo features the star in the school-girl-type outfit holding open two yellow metal gates.

Clayton Davis The most shocking snub of the Oscar noms was Denis Villeneuve’s omission from the best directing category for his science-fiction epic “Dune.”The film’s 10-nomination haul includes best picture and adapted screenplay, the latter perceived to be its most difficult to attain. Yet, Villeneuve’s lack of recognition for directing could rally widespread support from Academy voters and result in the film tying or surpassing a 50-year record held by “Cabaret” (1972).Bob Fosse’s classic adaptation of the Broadway stage musical set a record at the 45th Academy Awards for the most Oscars received without winning best picture.

Claudia Eller Co-Editor-in-ChiefAs of this writing, the Motion Picture Academy has yet to officially announce its policy regarding COVID protocols for next month’s Oscar ceremony.Nonetheless, many in the Hollywood community are going on the assumption that The Hollywood Reporter’s Feb. 9 scoop that no proof of vaccination will be required for the March 27 awards show at the Dolby Theatre is already set in stone.

Netflix doesn’t have the box office to boast about when it comes to this year’s Oscar nominees The Power of the Dog, and Don’t Look Up, but it has the streaming viewership it can beat the drum about.

Brett Goldstein is making waves on “Ted Lasso” but his career is literally in the garbage on “Sesame Street”.

David Benedict The gap between what you see and what you get has long proved fertile territory for playwrights. At his considerable best, not least his Oscar-winning adapted screenplay of his play “The Father,” French dramatist Florian Zeller (and translator Christopher Hampton) has shown that by cunningly changing what audiences are seeing, he can not only define but also dramatize emotional content.

Denis Villeneuve insists he's "deeply pleased" with the Oscar nods for 'Dune' - despite his director snub. The 54-year-old filmmaker helmed the first of a planned two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert's 1965 classic sci-fi novel of the same name and admitted being recognised by the Academy is "really moving" as it was unexpected. Speaking in an interview with MovieMaker, Villeneuve said: “Frankly, if you had told me a few months ago that we’d be in the Oscar race, that we’d have that kind of recognition, I would have not believed you.

Zack Sharf With its Super Bowl teaser earning over 3 million views and counting in less than a day, all signs point to “Moon Knight” being one of the biggest television series of the spring. The show marks Oscar Isaac’s introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Marc Spector, a former CIA operative turned mercenary who dies during a job in Sudan but is revived and turned into the conduit of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. Isaac recently told Empire magazine that “Moon Knight” is a character study the likes of which the MCU has rarely seen.“Often on these big movies it can feel like you’re building the plane on the runway,” Isaac said.

While “Dune” broke into the best picture race and landed nominations in every craft category, Villeneuve himself got shut out of the best director race.

The chaos of “Moon Knight” is coming, and it’s going to be epic.

Wilson Chapman editorGet ready to meet the many, many sides of Marc Spector.During the Super Bowl, Marvel Studios unveiled the second trailer for “Moon Knight,” the Oscar Isaac-starring limited series premiering March 30 on Disney Plus.The Marvel Cinematic Universe series stars Isaac as Moon Knight, a character first created by Doug Moench and Don Perlin in 1975 for the comic series “Werewolf by Knight.” In most depictions of the character, Moon Knight is the secret identity of Marc Spector, a former CIA operative turned mercenary who dies during a job in Sudan but is revived and turned into the conduit of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu, becoming a Batman-esque vigilante. One of the character’s most notable traits is his dissociative identity disorder, which manifests in several distinct personas with defined personalities.

here. Based on a short story by Haruki Murakami, “Drive My Car” revolves around Yusuke Kafuku (Hidetoshi Nishijima), a recently widowed theater artist who is offered to direct a production of Chekhov’s “Uncle Vanya” at a theater festival.

“It’s so great for representation and it’s also grounded in normalization,” says Naomi star Kaci Walfall of the barrier breaking CW superhero series from Ava DuVernay and Jill Blankenship. “So it’s a story that is just about a 16-year old girl whose Black, who happens to be a superhero and I think that is supercool ‘cause it’s not something we see, it’s not something we see,” Walfall added.

Films from Belfast to Drive My Car, from The Worst Person In The World to Nightmare Alley saw ticket sales pop after Academy Award nominations and as distributors kick into high gear for this weekend and beyond, juggling theater counts and ramped up media campaigns that now have a shiny new imprimatur.
