	Sharlto Copley	No comment.
	Best Actor: Optimus Prime	Robot-Americans have too long gone unrecognized by the Academy.
	Michelle Pfeiffer, Best Actress for “Cheri”	One of her best performances in years that would have gotten much more attention if the movie was released in the fall than when it was dumped in June.
	Michael Sheen Best Actor for “The Damned United.”	This underrated actor just keeps getting screwed over for such remarkable portrayals it would be nice to see him finally recognized.
	Pedro Almodovar, Best Director	No comment.
	Christian McKay, Best Actor nominee for Me and Orson Welles.	He looks remarkably like the young Orson Welles (it’s biology, not parody) and he effortlessly channels the man’s energy and charisma, demonstrating how one so demanding could be so loved.
	Matt Damon for The Informant!	No comment.
	Paul Schneider, Bright Star – Best Supporting Actor	In a role I might have thought a little beyond him, he did everything a great supporting performance should do and the film was better for his presence in it.
	Jeremy Renner for The Hurt Locker	By the time they vote for winners, he could be a frontrunner… but needs to get nominated 7 weeks earlier.
	Sharlto Copley, best actor	No comment.
	Wes Anderson, Best Director, Fantastic Mr. Fox	No comment.
	Peter Capaldi for In the Loop	Peter Capaldi for the In the Loop, or any recognition for that film at all, would be great – one of the best and underrated films of 2009.
	Antichrist	No comment.
	Bright Star	No comment.
	Ed Asner in Up. Or Dakota Fanning for Coraline or Seth Rogen in Monsters vs. Aliens or George Clooney as Mr. Fox.	Voice work is acting, too!!!

Wilmington on DVDs: Star Trek, Gone with the Wind, The Exiles, Fight Club, Humpday and more…

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

PICK OF THE WEEK: NEW

Star Trek (Three and a Half Stars)
U.S.; J. J. Abrams, 2009

The latest Star Trek movie, called simply Star Trek, is a genuine audience-pleaser, a film that (more…)

Posted in Columns, DVD & Blue Ray, DVD Reviews, MCN Originals, Movie City News, Reviews, Wilmington | Comments Off on Wilmington on DVDs: Star Trek, Gone with the Wind, The Exiles, Fight Club, Humpday and more…

MCN Review by Kim Voynar: Having seen the new Star Trek now, I must admit that I was wrong, because J.J. Abrams, boldly going where others have gone before (and frequently failed), successfully reboots the franchise in this action-packed tweaking of the Trek universe.

MCN Review by David Poland: My central problem with the film is also what works about it, I think, for many audiences. It is a jack of all trades and a master of none. But it is so loaded with stuff… so anxious to please an audience… so busy… that if you don’t think about it too much, it feels like a reasonably entertaining summer movie ride.
The Posters Series is here.

Best Actress Chart

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

BEST ACTRESS
Actress – Film	Comment
Meryl Streep – Julie and Julia	The unstoppable force.
Carey Mulligan – An Education	The ingenue of the year.
Helen Mirren – The Last Station	A role that could win her a second Oscar in just three years.
Marion Cotillard – Nine	The other one.

Saoirse Ronan – The Lovely Bones	Depends on the film
Abbie Cornish – Bright Star	The nominee who would be Carey… but could still get there… if voters see her work
Sandra Bullock – The Blind Side	It’s a mainstream piece of work, but very touching, and she is having a great year… a long shot, but not impossible
Emily Blunt – The Young Victoria	Hard to get another period woman past cornish and Mirren
Shohreh Agdashloo – The Stoning of Soraya M	Will they see the film?
Gabourey Sidibe – Precious	A much longer shot than some seem to think right now

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Actress – Film	Comment
Mo’Nique – Precious	She may Eddie Murphy herself out of a possible win, but the one true category nomination lock
Judi Dench – Nine	Long live the queen
Penelope Cruz – Nine	A (recent) Oscar regular breaking out of her shell
Julianne Moore – A Single Man	If the movie doesn’t catch on, could drop out… but a party of a perfomance.
Anna Kendrick – Up in the Air	Supporting ingenue
Vera Farmiga – Up in the Air	A really clean, strong role for an actress with a cult of critics and directors… could be the year
Kate Hudson – Nine	A-Rod hit in the post-season… anything could happen!
Sophia Loren – Nine	Apparently, she has a lot of time on screen… but maybe not for better… even for a legend

Best Actor Chart

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

BEST ACTOR
Actor – Film	Comment
George Clooney – Up in the Air	Beloved, lovely, and looking for answers
Daniel Day-Lewis – Nine	How could he not?
Christopher Plummer – The Last Station	Could be the shock winner… lifetime achievement and a great role & performance.. and unlike some stage gods, he is a relentless charmer in person
Jeff Bridges – Crazy Heart	Bridges biggest Oscar problem is that he is always good enough to win.
Morgan Freeman – Invictus	Seems obvious, no?

Colin Firth – A Single Man	A well-liked actor and man… fine performance
Jeremy Renner – The Hurt Locker	The ambiguous center of one of the few truly great films of 2009
Peter Sarsgaard – An Education	Is he lead or supporting… either way, he should be nominated for this complex, but slick work
Viggo Mortensen – The Road	Sucha great performance… but will the voters watch this film… and how will it play on DVD?
Michael Stuhlbarg – A Serious Man	Needs some push so as not to get lost
Matt Damon – Invictus	Is he lead or supporting… either way, we won’t know until the film is seen.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Actor – Film	Comment
Stanley Tucci – Julie and Julia or The Lovely Bones	I am sure he will get a nod, but will it be for the loving, supportive hubby or the murderous, creepy child molester?
Matt Damon – Invictus	Is he lead or supporting… either way, we won’t know until the film is seen. but we’re guessing Supporting and that his stardom and good guy-ness will rule the day.
Christopher Walz – Inglourious Basterds	The memorable performance
Alfred Molina – An Education	Great guy, great performance, very likeable
Tobey Maguire – Brothers	A brilliant turn… people will vote for him off the clips

Peter Capaldi – In The Loop	So deserving… hard get for a guy from out of town without big bucks pushing him
Quinton Aaron – The Blind Side	Would be the shocker of the season
Woody Harrelson – The Messenger	His finest work… but getting eyeballs will be hard and he is an outsider in this game
Alec Baldwin – It’s Complicated	When they run out of Emmys…
Paul Schneider – Bright Star	One of the finest young character actors… maybe next year
Peter Sarsgaard – An Education	Is he lead or supporting… either way, he should be nominated for this complex, but slick work

20 Weeks To Go, The Rules Of Ten

Friday, October 30th, 2009

The most often considered issue of this year’s Oscar race is, “How will having ten nominees change the game?”

And the definitive answer is, “Ask me next April.”

Well, even that may be a little blurry.

What I can tell you is what has happened so far, which is still very much at the beginning of the journey as far as actual awards voters are concerned.

What we don’t see so far is an earnest effort by the “big movies” to get slots in the BP10… except for Up, which Disney has out there on parade early and often. All the sky-is-falling whining about Star Trek and The Hangover and Harry Potter as Best Picture contenders has been followed by Paramount and Warner Bros shrugging their campaigning shoulders and not spending a dime or more than a minute of effort moving the bar in that direction. Wisely.

Besides Up, on the commercial side, there is a Supporting Actress push going on for The Proposal, some hints that Sony is going to push District 9 out there, and The Weinsteins may find some real BPO traction for Inglourious Basterds. That means that there are two possible movies in the BP race from the Top 20 domestic grossers to date.

But quietly – amazingly quietly – Avatar is becoming a serious Best Picture player. Fox isn’t pushing it. They aren’t advertising it. They are doing what they have done for years… sell the movie and if awards come, so be it. And no matter the media response to the teaser trailer, you can feel the ground rumbling under the earth’s crust for this one now. The movie is going to be very, very big.

Even if it fails by some standards, it is almost impossible to imagine the film grossing less than $500 million worldwide. That would put it with Potter 6, Ice Age 3, and Trannies 2 (in that order… do people realize that IA3 has outgrossed Tr2 worldwide?) in that financial category. This is very rarified air for a title that is neither a sequel, animated or based on a literary work that defined the box office future of the title… you know, what grandpa used to call “an original.”

There are sixty-seven $500m worldwide grossers in history and only Ghost, The Day After Tomorrow, Forrest Gump, Armageddon, Night At The Museum, I Am Legend, Hancock, The Sixth Sense, Star Wars, ET, and Jurassic Park qualify in that rarified grouping. Five of the eleven were Best Picture nominated. Only one won. But still…

The two tip-top contenders that have not been seen – Nine and Invictus – remain on the top of many lists, though we are still weeks away from seeing the goods (or the bads).

But the lists have filled up with some titles that wouldn’t quite be borderline in years past, whether Precious or A Single Man or A Serious Man. A movie like The Hurt Locker would have a very hard road, no matter how good it is, because of its lackluster box office run. Inglourious Basterds would have been dismissed by now as too commercial and fun.

Still, all five films, seen as favorites by most to secure BP slots, are not advertising yet… not fighting to get out ahead of the late-coming big dogs… biding their time, perhaps waiting for critics to give them a lift.

The most heavily pushed “small” film so far, amongst actual voters and not just the press, is An Education… which is now benefiting from an air of inevitability. The film isn’t world beating. But the movie is loveable, the performances are loveable, and all of a sudden, borderline contenders like Alfred Molina are real contenders for nomination because Academy members are being asked early and often for their consideration.

The question at the end of the day will be, “What was the great idea that got these movies nominated?” And every year, we are reminded that there is no hard and fast rule. And this year, even more so.

I predict that as obvious as the floorplan seems to be this season, there will be a major surprise or two in which films didn’t get nominated… because so many are laying back, thinking they can foist themselves on the voters late in the game. There are too many studios trying to play this game and someone’s going to go home with their balloon crushed (and it isn’t like to be Disney).

On the other hand, it seems to me that we are already down to fifteen or fewer serious contenders for nomination, even without having seen five of them. So that is the shading in which the contending marketers are operating. There will be some happy surprises as well.

As risky as I see a strategy like The Hurt Locker’s as being, I am also quite conscious that the film will certainly be amongst the best five, by most standards of quality, in that group of fifteen. So no matter how little is spent or how late it is spent, aren’t they likely to be in the group of nominees? Isn’t there a constituency that will just joke on quality and feel that a nomination vote spent there is not a wasted vote?

The most interesting thing so far is that it is already November and so little has really happened. Toronto came and went… NYFF after that… and very little has changed. Most of the horses are in the gate, kicking and squealing, but not allowed to really race. They are just biding their time, waiting for the industry to put together enough money to pay for the dirt to be laid out on the track, lest the horses run on concrete and break their dainty legs.

And when they are let loose, it will surely seem more intense than ever. But it may actually be just the opposite… no time for much to happen but for people to see the movies and to vote their hearts and not their heads.

Come February, there is no way of knowing how distributors will behave either. Will, like last year, one or two films become the obvious frontrunners and send everyone else into “it’s lovely to be nominated” mode or will there be a battle royale amongst ten contenders who all feel viable as every one of them has fatal flaws and winning strengths?

Ask me in April.

35 Weeks To Go The Next Oscars Will Be Rated X

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Okay… so all the chatter is about the 10 nominees. Emotional responses… been there, done that.

That said… it’s interesting that studios are facing a widening base of pressure to pursue Best Picture nominations at the very same time they are facing very tough economic realities. (Isn’t in funny – not ha ha – that all those people who were screaming about every film being profitable and the studios being indestructible have shut up now that the DVD problem some of us were writing about 3 years ago has become an on-the-record problem? Beware people who don’t want to hear about what’s next, only what bubbles into the mainstream.) Not only that… Oscar dollars are marketing dollars… and marketing is the area that screams for cutbacks more than any other. (Have you driven around L.A. lately… notice the empty buildings that were massive billboards a couple of years ago?)

It also strikes me, when laying out the season to come, is that the expansion that we all knee-jerked into being such a very big deal seems to be falling into some pretty traditional patterns. Paramount and Warner Bros. have the most pictures in play. Sony Classics has a number of titles, all of which have more muscle in categories other than Best Picture. And everyone else tends towards one-offs.

But as you’ll see… even with the contenders being bunched, the resulting nominations could be quite unexpected.

One publicist brought up an angle that I hadn’t yet considered… what about the movies that don’t get in, even with 10 slots open. How much more pressure will that put on the situation?

But most importantly, how will 10 nominees change the dynamic of desperate efforts to spin trend stories? How can it be The Year Of… anything with such inevitable diversity?

It could, I guess, be The Year of Matt Damon, who has Invictus, The Informer!, the animated Miyazaki film, Ponyo, and maybe even Green Zone coming out.

It could be The Year Of Not Bio-Pics, in spite of the Nelson Mandela film from Eastwood, Invictus, and Meryl Streep invoking Julia Child.

Some will try to make it The Year of The Woman, with Nine leading the way for such hopefuls as Julie & Julia, Bright Star, Precious, An Education, Broken Embraces, the 2 SPC Coco Chanel movies, Amelia, Cheri, and even the female director of The Hurt Locker. And maybe they will have a point… there could be 5 nominations in that group.

Or not.

What is truly shocking to me – and readers will have to have faith that it is purely a coincidence – is that as I laid out the chart to go with this column, my current Top 10 contenders… gulp… are from 10 different distributors.

And I don’t even have any tables to sell.

Obviously, a July list is going to change a lot. Universal, for instance, has a Paul Greengrass film that may or may not be ready for release into this season. If it is, then it probably leaps into that Top 10 projection. But today… it’s just a bill. (FYI… see Schoolhouse Rock if you don’t understand).

But for now, in my first 10 are The Weinstein Company, Summit, Lionsgate, and Overture… and though Lionsgate has been there with Crash, still… 4 stand-alone indies. This is a good reason to have the 10 nominations, no? Not to mention that its been a decade since Disney/non-Miramax has had a Best Picture nomination. Plus Sony Classics and Focus.

That’s only 4 slots for major studios after all the talk about The 10 being a boon primarily for big, less effete commercial pictures. (Like Invictus, right?)

Of course, change, as I wrote, is very likely. Paramount isn’t in my Top 10 right now… but has 3 films on the launching pad, any of which or all of which could end up being nominated.

Even more so, there are a bunch of movies that no one has seen that are obvious possibilities. (Watch out for that “Oh, people are seeing that… they aren’t very excited” buzz, which is already ramping up on the dubious highway against The Lovely Bones and Avatar.) Shutter Island, A Christmas Carol, Star Trek, and The Lovely Bones are the top of that list, with three Oscar-winning directors and a surprise smash hit that people really liked.

Precursors be damned. Sundance didn’t help much. Precious and An Education were the two BP potential films emerging, though the first will be driven by a “it’s important for you” campaign and the second is a classic Euro coming of age piece that will race on old school elegance and the emergence (and gentle British charm) of Cary Mulligan. (Also, look for heavy screenplay chatter around Humpday). Cannes was pretty much an Oscar bust, though a few titles will be discussed. And the commercial cinema has been enormously uninteresting this year, though we may have seen a couple of films in The Ten that have already been released… but really, only because it’s ten.

In other words, it’s very, very early in what promises to be a very long Oscar season. Next stop, Toronto.
