Did Justine Triet just admit Sandra is innocent by saying there’s “a suicide” in Anatomy of a Fall?! #GoldenGlobes.

I really hope that some day we get to experience Julianne Moore or Amy Adams in an interview forgetting they were in DEAR EVAN HANSEN just like Gwyneth did with SPIDER-MAN.

Reminder that Jasmila Žbanić, the director of tonight’s unsettling episode of The Last Of Us 106, also directed one of 2020’s best and most devastating films, QUO VADIS, AIDA? It’s available on Hulu and Kanopy and highly recommend checking it out.

Don’t overlook the transformation of these two brilliant actresses (both with amazing solos in MATILDA), Lashana Lynch & Emma Thompson. The range we’ve seen from women onscreen this year really is unparalleled and it’s why we need to keep funding movies big and small alike.

MAY DECEMBER: A high art version of a campy 90's soap shot on a disposable camera with singular performances so deliciously sweet they'll rot your teeth. I never wanted it to end!! Todd Haynes just screaming “Gay Rights!” the entire time. #Cannes2023

BONES AND ALL is such an intimate, beautiful love letter to Luca’s younger self- about navigating life’s natural violence while discovering who you are. It’s also the most gorgeously shot film since THE TREE OF LIFE where almost every shot could be framed. Soundtrack slaps #nyff.

THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG and I’M STILL HERE are two pressure cookers of equally unnerving, necessary, and timely portraits of political unrest. Beautiful and devastating as matriarchs protect their families amidst corruption and censorship. Two of the year’s finest at #NYFF62

America is not ready for this movie. Ava DuVernay via Isabel Wilkerson dismantling the histories of prejudice through caste systems in India, the US, and Nazi Germany is monumental & Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Niecy Nash, and Audra McDonald should be in the awards convo, hard stop.
ORIGIN "unfolds with fierce focus, full of heart and vibrant intent." - @BBC . Ava DuVernay's #OriginMovie, starring a brilliant Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, opens in theaters January 19th. Get tickets now:

Especially following recent events, there is no movie more timely than THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG. A movie about power, greed, corruption, having the courage to use your voice for good, and the ability to learn how to load a gun courtesy of Americans on YouTube.

Fluoride being bad is a hoax. Also everyone will start getting way more cavities and be confused why. Fluoride in water is at a heathy low concentration for everyone (yes, even kids). Please do not buy this lie.

Anora RIPS so hard it leaves you both intoxicated and hungover. Mikey Madison only gets stronger as the movie progresses, every close up leaving you further on the edge of your seat. Then Baker twists the knife. A daring, hilarious gut punch I can’t wait to see again! #NYFF

TÀR is more than just a snapshot of a moment in time. It studies and questions the motivations of one’s need for power and control- and what happens when you lose them. Blanchett is sublime and transcends in a career-defining high that leaves you utterly transfixed #nyff60.

RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE is this generation’s WHAT A GIRL WANTS, a hilarious and oft sentimental rom-com with enough bold gay swings to satisfy its YA readers. Come for the handsome leads, Taylor Zakhar Perez & Nicholas Galitzine, stay for Uma Thurman’s Texan accent #RWRBMovie

After this whirlwind week of prizes and nominations, I’m placing my bets on Demi Moore receiving her first Oscar nomination and WIN. An overdue narrative and timely themes for a movie that has endured since winning Screenplay at Cannes. Bring horror back to the Oscars!.

It feels rare for a debut to capture the essence of one’s being with such control yet also be so inviting. Gyllenhaal’s impressive THE LOST DAUGHTER embodies an inescapable feeling like an itch that slowly, and always intentionally, consumes you. #NYFF59

Ok I’ll give in. There’s one race that should already be decided and it’s Joe Hisaichi winning Original Score for THE BOY AND THE HERON. Someone who has never been recognized by the Academy yet has created some of the most recognizable and moving themes in film history.
About to go full Paul Hunham on the next troglodyte that says “They’re winning.” Oscar nominations aren’t announced until January 23rd (another 55 days).

My journey with the Oscars is all fun and games but it truly has all led to discovering Gena Rowlands and her undeniably moving, definitive, and sublime craft. Her warm yet haunting performance here will never leave me. ❤️.
This one hurts…RIP Gena Rowlands. Words cannot express the power of her work in A Woman Under the Influence. Will never forget it 💔

My heart needs a hug after seeing THE FABELMANS. It was like Spielberg was speaking directly to me, fellow Eagle Scout. It’s passionately personal yet relatable, hilarious and nostalgic. Michelle is an undeniable and magnificent beacon of motherly love 🥲.

Yes, take every review with a grain of salt since there are still so few published. But among all of the Italian #Venezia79 critics, THE SON fared the worst at 2.2/5 stars. The highest being BONES AND ALL at 3.9.

Then find the loophole and take it back to NBC where it all started. Letting Disney dictate The Academy & the telecast is sickening and baffling #PresentAll23.
ABC reportedly warned the Academy that it would cancel the #Oscars telecast, via a clause in the Academy and ABC’s deal, if 12 categories were not removed from the show. (Source:

I HAD to ask her about this scene and her explanation didn’t disappoint: Give Heléne the Emmy! #TheOtherTwo.
Struggling to think of a TV show that has ever featured a more realistic argument than this one on #TheOtherTwo. Also, give Heléne Yorke a fucking Emmy for the pain on her face when she realizes Josh Segarra is right.

What people discredit in this lineup, it surely makes up for in deranged one liners. Kathy Bates saying, “I’m a democrat,” is only skimming the surface 😂 I had a blast revisiting the first Oscar race I grew up watching intently. Thank you to @Kevin_Jacobsen & Bon Appétit!.
This week on the season finale of AND THE RUNNER-UP IS 🥈, @sauerkraut27 joins me to break down the 2009 Best Actress race, where Sandra Bullock won over Helen Mirren, Carey Mulligan, Gabourey Sidibe, and Meryl Streep. Listen now!.

Experiencing Gabourey’s charm during the 2009 awards season and since proves how much she deserved this nomination…and why she needs to be in more comedies and dramas alike!
Gabourey Sidibe earned her first Oscar nomination for playing Claireece “Precious” Jones in Precious (2009). What do you think of Sidibe’s performance?
