Name drop alert! I worked as a set production assistant on a small movie, Hounddog, that Ed Lachman DPed. He was a crotchety "old" man even in 2006, though not without his charm (he was happy to share stories about his work on Altman's Prairie Home Companion)...anyway, one of my first interactions with him was, at his request, to cover him while he took a leak by his rental car, vs walking (he didn't get around great) to the closest facility. |

Some pretty interesting developments in those SAG nods. Helen Mirren twice. Her Best Actress nod probably bumped Lily Tomlin or Charlotte Rampling (I assume both were SAG eligible) Sarah Silverman out of left field for Best Actress (and sorry, J-Law) Rachel McAdams - possibly the least touted perf in Spotlight is the only one to score an individual nod; everyone else is in Best Ensemble Rooney Mara and Alicia Vikander, the category fraud girls, made it into the Supporting Actress race, just like their studios wanted Sorry, Matt Damon Sorry, Sylvester Stallone (though you may still be the Oscar front-runner anyway) Christian Bale is in, despite little precursor buzz Michael Shannon is in, despite seeming like a long shot until his surprise win from the Los Angeles Film Critics Idris Elba -- three nods: Supporting Actor, Film Ensemble, Actor in a Drama Series. |

Another deserter....

Yeah, that one surprises me. Just saw it last night and, though all the performances are perfectly good, McAdams included, she mostly gets stuck sitting around listening to other people describe horribly traumatic events, or the stress of their investigation, or, finally, watching as her unsuspecting Catholic grandmother looks over the heart-rending story for the first time -- all while making these "Yeah, geez, that's really awful, my god" faces at them. Not exactly a gift of a part. Also, while I certainly think the film is an efficient and effective one, it's so focused on its efficiency that much of the real complexity of the circumstances gets lost in the thrill of the hunt. I guess I'm always a little uncomfortable with art that tries to wring drama and suspense from "Based on actual events" accounts of true stories. If the art succeeds, then our emotions are invested in the artifice, diminishing the reality, and if the reality takes center stage, well, then it's more of a journalistic endeavour than an artistic one, no? The two forces end up fighting each other. Maybe you need to acknowledge the artifice to fully honour the truth -- the more you try to pretend it's all real, the less we can fully invest in it. Even so, it moves at a helluva clip and I was surprised when it ended, thinking there was plenty more to come. The two hours really breeze by. And yes, it's an important story, and one that deserves to be told, but I just don't know that it should be such a successful and satisfying entertainment at the same time. |

Pleased with Rami Malek getting a nod. Not sure how this works, but was The Leftovers eligible? I think a couple from that cast could get Emmy noms. |

I had assumed that The Leftovers season two would be eligible next year, as it is for the Emmys. But SAG's eligibility rules state: "Motion pictures, television, cable and new media programs exhibited or broadcast during the 2015 calendar year shall be eligible for nomination." On the other hand, performance submissions were due by Oct. 22, and The Leftovers didn't start until Oct. 4th, so I wonder if the actors had access to all their best episodes for submission by the deadline. EDIT: Guess this means Fargo may have been snubbed as well, which is a surprise. |

Change your title already

Before the inevitable "suffering from backlash" arguments get made, let the record show I posted June 26 on the Heresy thread about what pieces of garbage Mad Max: Fury Road and Inside Out are. :fight: Now, back to awards season so we can see if any subsequent groups deviate from the norm. :) |

I mostly agree with you on Inside Out, Sharon. I don't like to use the word "overrated," maybe "overhyped" is better ... whichever it was, this is the Pixar that fits that description the most. Agree to disagree on Mad Max, but it is weird that it has become such a critical darling. |

Sharing (slightly expurgated) commentary on these developments in today's email from good friend/movie awards fanboy in France: Helen Mirren in "Woman in gold" and Sarah Silverman in "I smile back"???? the last one I saw it last week in Brussels and I'm convinced it made Pauline Kael call IKEA to rearrange her coffin. What the f*** is happening with SAG???? I saw Helen Mirren last July, she was great but not good enough to make jump out of the window like Ann Dvorak in Three on a Match, for f*** sake!!! |
