The fall festival season is starting to reshape the Oscar race.We break down the surprising end of the Venice Film Festival, where Woman Unknown pulled off an unexpected Golden Lion win, before turning to one of the biggest questions coming out of Telluride and TIFF: is Fjord suddenly in trouble? After winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes, its North American reception has been much more divided—and the backlash could matter when awards season gets serious.We also get into the huge TIFF response to I Play Rocky, whether it could become this year's crowd-pleasing Best Picture contender, the growing buzz around Artificial, Netflix finally giving some of its awards movies real theatrical windows, France's latest International Feature dilemma, and some increasingly wild Oscar predictions.Oscars Outsider looks at the awards race, film festivals, Hollywood, and Oscar history from slightly outside the usual consensus.Subscribe for weekly Oscar predictions, reactions, and film history.I'd use “Is Fjord Starting to Fall?” rather than repeating “Is Fjord in Trouble?” verbatim—the thumbnail and title reinforce each other without saying exactly the same thing.

The Oscars Race has exploded after Telluride and Venice. The Acting categories are much more formidable, the Best Picture 10 is all but impossible to predict, surprise documentaries have become headlines, and yet, the Standing Ovation times still don't match. This is one of the wildest years we've ever covered, and the buzz isn't getting any quieter. That's for sure. TELLURIDE PREMIERES: The Debut from Jesse Eisenberg feat.

The Cannes awards are here, and somehow the Oscar race feels less clear than it did before.In this episode of The Oscars Outsider Podcast, we react to the major winners from the Cannes Film Festival, including the Palme d'Or win for Fjord, and try to figure out what any of it means for the Oscar race.The big question: did Cannes give us a new frontrunner, or did it make the whole season even messier?We dig into the Screen Cannes jury grid, where Fjord landed at 2.5 while several other contenders, including Fatherland, Minotaur, and All of a Sudden, scored higher. We also talk through the mismatch between critical consensus and jury awards, which films feel stronger after Cannes, which ones suddenly look shakier, and whether the Palme winner is actually positioned for Oscar attention.If you follow Cannes, Oscar season, festival buzz, or the strange gap between critics' favorites and awards bodies, this episode is for you.Subscribe for more Oscar race analysis, festival reactions, and awards season chaos.

On episode 331 of the AwardsWatch podcast, AW Editor-In-Chief, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello break down the recent DGA win by Paul Thomas Anderson for One Battle After Another and what that win means to the Oscar race at large right now. There was a lot of anticipation leading up to last weekend's Directors Guild of America (DGA) awards, with Anderson and Ryan Coogler (Sinners) as the top contenders angling for that win, and with it came a good deal of Oscar pundit skittishness and squirming. Although most had acquiesced to the reality that Anderson was going to be the likely winner, the fact that no Black director had ever won DGA in its 77 years (78 now) gave some of them enough to hold onto a chance of it happening, and for a momentum switch from One Battle to Sinners begin to emerge. It didn't happen, and Producers Guild of America (PGA) voting ended days before the DGA Awards so those votes are locked in too. We won't know those results for almost another three weeks.

On episode 308 of the AwardsWatch podcast, Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello look at the competitive International Feature Film contenders and provide a preview of some of the major titles coming to the 63rd New York Film Festival. With more than 70 countries having submitted films for the International Feature Film Oscar so far, now was a good time to look at the frontrunners like Sentimental Value, It Was Just an Accident and The Secret Agent, the NEON dominance of them and how many can really make the final five. We also look outside of those Cannes winners for titles that could pique the voters' interest as uniquely named films have done in the past. Next up is the preview of the 63rd New York Film Festival, which begins this Friday with the opening film, Luca Guadagnino's After the Hunt. After taking a critical drubbing at its Venice bow, we examine if it can rebound here in the states. Two world premieres will be a part of the festival including Anemone, the feature debut from Ronan Day-Lewis starring his three-time Oscar-winning father Daniel Day-Lewis, back on screen for the first time since 2017's Phantom Thread. At the time of recording both Sophia and I had just seen the film but were under embargo (until September 28). The Venice Golden Lion winner Father Mother Sister Brother from Jim Jarmusch is the Centerpiece film and then Bradley Cooper's third directorial effort, the stand-up comedian story Is This Thing On? will close the festival. Could this be Cooper's attempt to rein it in and silence some of the critics of Maestro? This podcast runs 1h07m. We will be back next week with xxxxx Till then, let's get into it. Music: “Modern Fashion” from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

Things are heating up! Founder and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch, Erik Anderson, joins us with a comprehensive update on the state of the Oscar race! From all the surprises to Anora's sweep last weekend, actor frontrunners, and much more! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This weekend truly kicked off the Oscar race with the 1-2-3 punch of Critics Choice, the Directors Guild and the Producers Guild all announcing their winners in the span of 24 hours, including dueling ceremonies for the latter. On episode 274 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson is joined by AwardsWatch Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello to break down what happened, how it happened and what's next. In a surprising sweep, Sean Baker's Anora took home the top prize at all three: Best Picture at Critics Choice (its only win), the DGA for Theatrical Film and the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures at the PGA. Erik, who was at all three events, offers his insight to vibe in the rooms, which felt muted at Critics Choice until the left field Best Director win for Wicked's Jon M. Chu (and the awkward Oscar-stat intro the category got), and the race from the DGA to the PGA that brought life back to everyone, making Anora the first film to win the Palme d'Or and DGA since 1955's Marty and pushing it (back?) to the top of the Best Picture race. But what does that mean for its star Mikey Madison? The young actress is the far and away critics' leader but so far has lost to Demi Moore (The Substance) in their first two face-offs, the Golden Globes and Critics Choice (ironically, or not so). With BAFTA and SAG looming, as well as the passion for Fernanda Torres (I'm Still Here), Best Actress remains the most exciting race of the season. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 1h57m. We will be back next week with the very fresh BAFTA winners and a preview of the Screen Actors Guild. Till then, let's get into it. Music: “Modern Fashion” from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

The Anora helmer earned his first Oscar nomination this year, and also made history by joining a small group of filmmakers who have nabbed four nominations in one year (he landed noms for director, picture, original screenplay, and editing). In celebration of this momentous achievement, we're revisiting Rebecca's chat with Baker from October 2024, in which he reflects on winning the Palme d'Or and reveals his unique -- and quite slow -- way of making movies.

We've all seen Gladiator II and have definite opinions on some hot topics, including Denzel Washington, flooding the Colloseum, Paul Mescal, and properly channeling rage. We break down our feelings on Ridley Scott's latest film and try to figure out where it stands within the Oscar race after good box office but middling critic and audience reviews.

On episode 261 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello and AwardsWatch contributors Mark Johnson and Karen Peterson discuss where we are at in the 2024 Oscar race, giving an updated temperature check on the current award season. A lot has changed in the world since the last time the AW podcast talked about the Oscars and which films and performances will go home with the gold. A post-election shift could be coming, with audiences and voters seeing the contenders in the race differently than before the political results from two weeks ago. Ryan, Sophia, Mark, and Karen break down how they think the election will connect and effect the award season, where the Best Picture, Best Director, and Acting categories are right now, as well as give their reaction to the news that the Oscars have selected a host, former late-night talk show host, comedian Conan O'Brien. This discussion also includes who the team has at the front runners in all of these categories, as well as the other contenders that could come in overtake the films, performances in the lead right now. It was a fun conversation we hope you all enjoy. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 1h55m. We will be back next week to do discuss the latest film release, Gladiator II, and talk about our Top 5 Denzel Washington performances.

Today we're talking about Anora, the new critical darling about the whirlwind romance between a Brooklyn sex worker and the hell-raising son of a Russian oligarch.

It's directed by Sean Baker, known for The Florida Project and Tangerine. It won the Cannes prestigious Palme d'Or award and is tipped as an Oscar winner. Who holds the power in the film?

On episode 257 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello talk about some of our favorite (and not so favorite) films we saw at 62nd New York Film Festival and then look at them through the lens of the pending Oscar race. Kicking things off we start with The Brutalist, Brady Corbet's sprawling epic about a Hungarian architect, played by Adrien Brody, who emigrates to the United States post-World War II. Corbet won the Best Director award at the Venice Film Festival. You can read Sophia's review of that film here. Next we go into the Venice Golden Lion winner for Best Film, Pedro Almodóvar's The Room Next Door, starring Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore, the director's first major festival top film win. Ryan's review of the maestro's festival favorite can be found here. The conversation here, about older directors creating films now that stand up against their best early work, moves to what we felt as a far less successful version of that, Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis (read Ryan's review here) but then we're back to the festival high of Luca Guadagnino's Queer, his adaptation of the 1985 William S. Burroughs short novel starring Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey, a drug-induced story of gay love and longing set among the lives of American expats in Mexico City in the late 1940s. You can read my review of Queer here. We also venture into some quick talk of other films we saw and loved at the festival, including Mike Leigh's Hard Truths and David Siegel and Scott McGehee's The Friend, starring the biggest attention getter of the fest, Bing the great Dane. From there we look at how looks at these films have shaped or changed our earlier Oscar predictions, what's out in front, what is falling off and the complete unknown entities coming up that could change race completely. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 1h16m. We will be back in two weeks to discuss AFI FEST and update our Oscar predictions. Till then, let's get into it.

Matt is joined by New York Times awards season reporter Kyle Buchanan to preview the 2024-25 Oscar race now that the table is mostly set. Kyle sets the table for a fascinating Oscar season—one without a clear front-runner like ‘Oppenheimer' was last year—and highlights the biggest narratives that have emerged, including the movies with the strongest momentum, early 2024 films that could make a last-second surge, and other burning questions (02:09). Matt finishes the show with a prediction about the MLB playoffs (28:28). For a 20 percent discount on Matt's Hollywood insider newsletter, ‘What I'm Hearing ...,' click here.

On episode 253 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello take a look at the awards landscape now that we're in a post-Venice, Telluride and Toronto film festival world. With Venice, led by jury president Isabelle Huppert, choosing Pedro Almodóvar's The Room Next Door, Telluride critics and audiences both going for Sean Baker's Anora and Toronto voters choosing Mike Flanagan's currently distributor free The Life of Chuck as the People's Choice, there's plenty to talk about in how these choices impact the Oscar race, solidifying some early predictions and changing up others. Telluride saw strong showings for early frontrunner Conclave and late surprise September 5, which just got a Paramount pick up and a prime awards release date while Saturday Night seems to have peaked and cratered in a matter of days. With Nicole Kidman winning the Volpi Cup at Venice for Babygirl and Sony Pictures Classics choosing to push both Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore in TRND for lead consideration, the Best Actress conversation gets more exciting and fruitful by the day. Angelina Jolie, Mikey Madison, Amy Adams and more are all circling that final five. But a lot of internet chatter hyper-focused on that TIFF win for The Life of Chuck and understandably so; all of but one of the last 15 winners there earned a Best Picture Oscar nomination. That stat caused lots of scurrying, lots of extra math, and for many, finding a place for it in their new top 10. But, stats fall every year and sometimes instinct beats out overthinking. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 51m. We will be back next week to do discuss the latest film release, The Substance. Till then, let's get into it. Music: “Modern Fashion” from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

Your Heard Tell Show is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about one of the biggest IPs in all of entertainment, Marvel. Our friend and film critic Luis Mendez of the Mendez Movie Report returns to Heard Tell to talk about the huge success of Deadpool & Wolverine, and the announcement of the Avengers: Doomsday pivot to the Russo Brothers and Roberty Downey, Jr. returning to Marvel Studios. Luis and host Andrew talk not only about the creative choices, but how the changing landscape of the film business and streaming has affected Marvel Studios for good, bad, and indifferent. Plus, we talk through how vintage films, especially very early work like silent films have entered the public domain and are getting new life on YouTube, TikTok, and in memes as new generations are finding the foundational films that so many movies have borrowed from. Also, Luis gives his take on the current state of Oscar nominations and awards season as summer starts to turn into film festival time. We finish up with Luis telling us some of the movies to be watching for coming out soon, what he is looking forward to, and some under the radar titles you won't want to miss. All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.00: Intro/ What Deadpool & Wolverine Success & Avengers:Doomsday announcment means for Marvel's future16:40 How the business model of films & streaming changes affect Marvel25:35 Vintage Movies finding new life on YouTube, TikTok, & memes and how to approach silent movies/vintage films for the modern audience40:20 Oscar Race and Awards season as summer ends and festivals start37:37 What Kind of Electoral Coalition Does Harris Need To Win?48:20 Upcoming Films to Watch For in Theaters--------------------Heard Tell SubStack Free to subscribe, comes right to your inboxhttps://heardtell.substack.com/Questions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?

The campaign for an Oscar is just that: a campaign. In the weeks and months leading up to the ninety-sixth Academy Awards, actors and directors have been hard at work reminding voters and the public alike of their worthiness, P.R. agencies have churned out “for your consideration” ads, and studios have poured millions of dollars into efforts to help their films emerge victorious on Hollywood's biggest night. In this episode of Critics at Large, the staff writers Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss the state of the race, from the front-runners to the snubs and the season's unlikely “villain.” The hosts are joined by The New Yorker's Michael Schulman, the author of “Oscar Wars: A History of Hollywood in Gold, Sweat, and Tears,” who describes how Harvey Weinstein permanently changed the landscape in the nineties by treating campaigns as “guerrilla warfare.” Today, much of the process happens behind closed doors. If the game is rigged, why do we care about the outcome? “Even though we know that there is a mechanism behind these things, a glow does attach itself to people who win,” Cunningham says. “We are still very much suckers for the glamour of merit.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Oscar Wars: A History of Hollywood in Gold, Sweat, and Tears,” by Michael Schulman“Oppenheimer” (2023)“Barbie” (2023)“May December” (2023)“Poor Things” (2023)“The Zone of Interest” (2023)“Nyad” (2023)“Maestro” (2023)“Shakespeare in Love” (1998)“Saving Private Ryan” (1998)“Can You Really Want an Oscar Too Much?” by Michael Schulman (The New Yorker)“Anatomy of a Fall” (2023)“Titanic” (1997)“Ferrari” (2023)New episodes drop every Thursday.
