Agreed. I also think Gadot stands a good chance of being the “surprise” Best Actress nominee this year, because whose performance – or, more to the point, on-screen presence – was talked about more?

Netflix-distributed films face an uphill climb for Academy recognition.

Hard to argue against any of these nominees. All did distinctive, confident work.

Just an update: DGA nominations were just announced, and both Peele and Gerwig made the cut. Scott, as I predicted, did not. But neither did Spielberg, which would have been a surprise, except that I just saw The Post and it’s nothing special. The Oscars could still change this lineup: after all, Garth Davis got a DGA…

Fair enough, didn’t know you were quoting This Is the End.

That’s why you have us, your Internet friends.

Surprise: The information in this article is incorrect.

It’s worth noting that a lot of the bigger films with female cinematographers are directed by African Americans, including Creed, Black Panther, Fences, Hustle & Flow, He Got Game and Mudbound.

The Eleven per-cent Solution

“I have no time for Stan” is going to be my go-to catchphrase for 2018.

Steven Spielberg accused of sexually assaulting lost boys, concentration camp victims, aliens, dinosaurs and Abraham Lincoln, according to Infowars

Thanks. And while you’re probably the only one who will read this response, I’ve wanted to say that I suspect Golden Globe nominations are based only partly on merit and mostly on what films appear awards-worthy. Because they’re announced so early in the season, they’re more predictive than responsive. (Remember how…

Portman also lobbied for Lynne Ramsay to direct Jane Got a Gun, but that didn’t work out so well. (She did get DP Mandy Walker to ultimately shoot the film.)
