January 23, 2024

The complete list of nominees for the 96th Academy Awards, the most prestigious award in Hollywood, have been announced today (from Oscars.org). The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed the nominees via live broadcast. The nominations from 2023 are, as expected, an exhilarating collection of some of the best movies of the year. Poor Things and Oppenheimer scored the most nominations, ending up with nods in almost every single category. Two of my favorite films of the year – this is great news! The most interesting surprises: Napoleon and Anatomy of a Fall ending up with so many noms in various categories. I’m also happy to see Godzilla: Minus One sneaking in for Best VFX. What a list! The Academy chose a total of ten Best Picture nominees for 2023, including: Past Lives, Poor Things, The Zone of Interest, American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, and yes, Barbie.

Congratulations to all of this year’s nominees. I’m happy about most of these, especially seeing the terrific movies Poor Things and Oppenheimer and Barbie and American Fiction and The Holdovers with so many nominations. I love each and every one of these! I would have preferred to see Joe Hisaishi for The Boy and the Heron and Daniel Pemberton for Across the Spider-Verse both nominated for Best Score, this is rather upsetting. However, I’m pretty sure Oppenheimer is winning anyway because it’s a masterpiece score (and it is cool to see that funky Poor Things score sneaking in). I don’t think it’s good to spend too much time dwelling on snubs and omissions, considering thee is plenty to celebrate with these nominees anyway. The Creator is now an Oscar nominee! Same with Society of the Snow. And the animated film Robot Dreams even got a nod. Colman Domingo is excellent in Rustin, even if the film isn’t so great. I am sure there will be tons of complaints about everything, as is the norm, but I believe this year’s picks are fantastic all around. Even Barbie deserves to be included with all the others. What do you think of these nominations for 2023?

Oscars 2024 Shortlist Revealed for 10 Categories: Barbie Leads With 5 Nods

Post By Science And Technology , , , , , , , , , ,

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has unveiled shortlists in 10 categories for the upcoming Oscars 2024 ceremony. Among those, Greta Gerwig’s candy-coated romp Barbie leads with five mentions, largely dominating in the Best Original Song section with three entries alone. Dua Lipa’s party song ‘Dance the Night,’ Billie Eilish’s ‘What Was I Made For?,’ and the super-catchy and sentimental ‘I’m Just Ken’ from star Ryan Gosling and writer-composer Mark Ronson made it to the list. Surprisingly, the film failed to secure placements in the makeup and hairstyling department, with absurd choices like Beau Is Afraid, Ferrari, and Oppenheimer making the cut.

Oddly, the Christopher Nolan film, which emulated an atomic bomb explosion through practical means, didn’t earn a place amongst the Best Visual Effects consideration for the year. It has instead secured nods in the audio department for Best Original Score — composed by Ludwig Göransson — and for the best use of sound design, for which it competes against David Fincher’s The Killer, Michael Mann’s Ferrari, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, and more. The last of them has nabbed four spots in the Oscars 2024 shortlist, with ‘Wahzhazhe (A Song For My People)’, performed by the Osage tribe, contesting to be named among the final nominees for Best Original Song, come March 10, 2024.

Unlike last year, no entries from India were considered for the Oscars 2024 shortlist — the Jude Anthany Joseph-directed Malayalam-language disaster feature, 2018: Everyone is a Hero, was India’s submission for consideration this year, but it failed to make the cut for Best International Feature Film. Movies from 88 countries and regions were eligible for the foreign language shortlist, after meeting a “minimum viewing requirement” to be eligible to vote. When the nominees are finalised, Academy members will be required to watch all 15 shortlisted films, before deciding what to send forward to the grand Oscars event. The nominations will be officially announced on January 23.

With that, here’s the full list of Oscars 2024 shortlists:

Gotham Awards 2023 | ‘Past Lives,’ Lily Gladstone win, while Robert De Niro says his speech was edited

Post By Entertainment , , , , , ,

Celine Song’s wistful romance Past Lives earned top honours at the Gotham Awards on Monday evening at an award-season kickoff where the night’s biggest drama came in a political speech by Robert De Niro that the actor claimed had been edited without his permission.

Past Lives, a breakout at the Sundance Film Festival in January and an arthouse hit in June for A24, may be poised to be an Oscar sleeper this year after winning best feature film at the Gothams. Affection is strong for Song’s directorial debut, starring Greta Lee as a woman born in Seoul who, after marrying an American (John Magaro), reconnects with a childhood friend from South Korea (Teo Yoo).

“This is the first film I’ve ever made and a very personal film about an extraordinary feeling I had in an ordinary bar in the East Village, not too many blocks away from here,” said Song, accepting the award. “As this film has been shared with the world, it has taught me — and taught us — that you’re never alone in that extraordinary feeling.”

Past Lives was expected to win, but the ceremony went off-script when De Niro, co-star in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, took the podium to present a tribute award to the film. While giving his remarks, De Niro noticed a section had been omitted from the teleprompter. After attempting to scroll back through, he completed his speech before returning to read from his phone.

“The beginning of my speech was edited, cut out,” De Niro said. “I didn’t know about it.”

De Niro, known for his fiery rhetoric against former President Donald Trump, then expanded on what he called America’s “post-truth society” and chided Hollywood — specifically John Wayne — for earlier depictions of Native Americans.

“The former president lied to us more than 30,000 times during his four years in office, and he’s keeping up the pace with his current campaign of retribution,” De Niro said. “With all of his lies, he can’t hide his soul. He attacks the weak, destroys the gifts of nature and shows his disrespect for example using Pocahontas as a slur.”

De Niro seemed to blame Apple, which produced Killers of the Flower Moon, for the changes to his speech.

“So I’m going to say these things — to Apple and thank them, all that. Gothams. Blah blah blah. Apple. But I don’t really feel like thanking them at all for what they did,” said De Niro. “How dare they do that, actually.”

Apple didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment late Monday evening.

It was still a big night for Scorsese’s epic, about the Osage murders in the early 20th century, even though Scorsese unexpectedly wasn’t in attendance. Lily Gladstone, who stars in the film opposite Leonardo DiCaprio, won for best lead performance — though not for that performance.

Gladstone won for a lesser-known film released earlier in 2023: The Unknown Country, in which she stars as a woman embarking on a road trip through the Midwest. In each of her speeches — for Killers of the Flower Moon and The Unknown Country — Gladstone praised the filmmakers for prioritizing Native perspectives.

“I challenge everybody in this room who makes films: Invest. When you have a budget, invest it in the people,” said Gladstone. “Invest in the people that you’re telling your story about. Your film will be better for it. Your lives will be better for it.”

The Gotham Awards, now in their 33rd year, leapfrog most of the major ceremonies that lead up to the Academy Awards. But over time, they’ve established themselves as the first big party of the season, and an early hint at some of the favorites.

Put on by the Gotham Film & Media Institute and held annually at Cipriani Wall Street, the Gothams have some quirks that make them different from other awards. Prizes are chosen by small committees of film professionals, critics and journalists. Their acting categories are also gender neutral, with 10 actors nominated for lead performance, and another 10 up for supporting performances.

This year, one of the most competitive categories was Best International Film. There, Justine Triet’s Palme d’Or winning courtroom drama Anatomy of a Fall triumphed over the likes of Poor Things, All of Us Strangers and The Zone of Interest. Triet’s film also won for best screenplay.

Andrew Haigh’s tender metaphysical drama All of Us Strangers, starring Andrew Scott as a screenwriter cast back into his childhood while developing a relationship with a neighbour (Paul Mescal), had come into the Gothams as the lead nominee with four nods, but went home without a trophy.

The Gothams this year removed a $35 million budget cap for nominees, but many big-budget films still opted not to submit themselves. The monthslong Screen Actors Guild strike meant awards season got off to a slower start, but one of the early questions is if anything can rival those diametrically opposed summer sensations of Barbie and Oppenheimer.

Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie of Barbiewere among the numerous tribute awards. In their joint speech, Gerwig said her partner, Noah Baumbach, found out he was co-writing the movie with her from a Variety article that cited them both. He sent the article to Gerwig with just a question mark, she said.

“Then he wrote back: ‘It’s OK, we’ll make each other laugh,’” added Gerwig.

The best supporting performance went to Charles Melton of Todd Haynes’ May December. He plays a young father who first began his relationship with his wife (Julianne Moore) when he was a minor.

A.V. Rockwell, whose directorial debut A Thousand and One stars Teyana Taylor as a single mother, won for breakthrough director. She noted all of her fellow nominees were women. “It’s a fight just to get here,” she said.

“Just to be frank, it is very hard to tell a culturally specific story when you look like this,” said Rockwell.

Best documentary went to Kaouther Ben Hania’s Tunisian film Four Daughters, a true story about a Tunisian woman with two daughters who became radicalized. The film reconstructs their disappearance.

In the TV categories, the Netflix series Beef, starring Steven Yeun and Ali Wong as a pair locked in a feud after a road rage incident, won for both breakthrough series under 40 minutes and for Wong’s performance.

“If you haven’t seen ‘Beef’ yet, I swear it’s more than me and Steven crying.” Wong said.

Tribute awards ensured that some starpower hit the Gotham stage. They were given to: Bradley Cooper, the director, star and co-writer of Maestro; Ben Affleck, the director and co-star of Air; George C. Wolfe, the director of Rustin; and Michael Mann, the director of Ferrari.

Affleck, however, wasn’t in attendance. The film’s screenwriter, Alex Convery, instead accepted the award. “Well, you thought you were getting Ben Affleck,” said Convery. “Sorry.”

The Gothams have a checkered history of forecasting future awards glory. Last year, it was the first win in what became a runaway Oscar campaign for Everything Everywhere All at Once, and where Ke Huy Quan’s supporting-actor bid got its start. The year before that, Gotham winner The Lost Daughter faded on the campaign trail, but 2020-winner Nomadland went the distance to the Academy Awards.

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Review: Lily Gladstone Is Devastatingly Brilliant

Post By Fact Check , , , , , , , , , ,

Never before, to my recollection, have I opened a review by appreciating a performance. That is not to say that actors haven’t delivered exceptional performances before but with Killers of the Flower Moon, I left the theatre transfixed by one.

Nothing can truly capture the effect Lily Gladstone has in the film – any words, of encouragement, of appreciation or awe even, feel too small. Definitely feel inadequate. 

As Mollie, an Osage woman most of the story focuses on, Gladstone’s performance is a revelation; she is the spirit, the heart, and the anchor of this film. But I digress. 

Lily Gladstone in a still from Killers of the Flower Moon.

Killers of the Flower Moon, written by director Martin Scorsese and Eric Roth is the adaptation of the non-fiction book of the same name by David Grann. In his book, Grann chronicles the way Osage landowners were exploited and murdered for their oil rights in the twentieth century (the time is often referred to as the Reign of Terror). 

Scorsese’s film opens with scenes of the Osage people attempting to safeguard their heritage (a running theme) and cuts to an incredibly crafted scene of Osage men dancing as oil from their land showers upon them. It’s a scene that radiates joy and hope and predictably, success for the Osage people follows; we’re informed that the Osage Indians became the ‘richest people per capita in the world’ after the oil was discovered. 

It isn’t explicitly mentioned but white guardians were soon appointed to oversee the way the Osage people managed their wealth, especially since each member whose land had oil would get headrights that led to royalties from oil companies. So for context, when Mollie introduces herself as “Mollie, Incompetent,” this is what she is referring to. 

A still from Killers of the Flower Moon.

Somewhere else, a newcomer to the town Ernest (Leonardo DiCaprio) meets with his wealthy and wily uncle William Hale (Robert De Niro) who he hopes to learn from and grow with. “I am strong,” Ernest proclaims with a thick accent after his uncle questions his ability to survive in the town and it’s an interesting foreshadowing into Ernest’s fate. That entire conversation foreshadows a lot of the film, to be honest. 

Whenever we see De Niro in a Scorsese film, it is difficult to not have an inkling about where the story might go. But Scorsese himself removes much of the suspense from the story unlike Grann’s book. The lack of suspense does affect the film; making it rather boring in spots. But it’s the skill that Scorsese possesses to set the mood of an entire piece so well that even when you’re bored, there is still a feeling of dread gripping your chest. 

Leonardo DiCaprio in a still from Killers of the Flower Moon.

There’s also this particular offering from Leonardo DiCaprio. The most captivating thing about DiCaprio as an actor, for me, has been his boyish charm. Somehow, even though this role leaves little space for ‘charm’, it’s something similar that makes his role captivating – it’s the fact that he comes off as a pitiful character, almost childlike in both his insolence and his trust.

When Mollie asks him to stay still for a while, he is restless but soon obeys. With an almost puppet-like frown on his face in the later scenes, it is difficult to find anything redeeming about Ernest and that is where the actor’s act truly shines.

Another powerful performance is that of Cara Jade Myers as Mollie’s sister Anna – she is all force and righteous rage, her skepticism reflected through indignant accusations. Even in the scene (one of my favourites) where the sisters sit together discussing the white men captured in moments of revelry, away from them, Anna stands out because of her powerful demeanour. 

But I find myself swiftly returning to Gladstone. Every time she laughs or chides someone playfully, it’s like her voice booms through the speakers. “Coyote wants money,” she half-jokes of Ernest’s courtship – Mollie isn’t naive; her only ‘crime’ perhaps is being hopeful. Her eyes capture the toll that grief and loss can take on a person; it’s a subtle and immeasurable act.

Lily Gladstone in a still from Killers of the Flower Moon.

In Killers of the Flower Moon, there is an attempt to center the Osage people in their story. There are multiple vintage stills of the Osage decked in their finest outfits or standing next to their luxury vehicles; always looking straight into the camera in a gaze dripping with confidence and dominance. Scorsese then juxtaposes this with scenes of the Osage people who have died as a voiceover constantly repeats, “No investigation.” Forget finding the culprit, nobody even bothered to look. 

Killers of the Flower Moon is a story of greed and exploitation, of a culture of apathy towards indigenous lives, of strength in adversity, and of how often evil can exist in your own backyard. The makers treat the Osage people with dignity and with respect (the least of what they deserve) but there is still the unshakeable feeling of being an outsider to their story – of still viewing the tragedy through the actions of the white men instead of its consequences. 

Cara Jade Myers in a still from Killers of the Flower Moon.

But one cannot ignore the Scorsese effect (bolstered admirably by Rodrigo Prieto’s camerawork and muted colour palette). I could drone on and on about the film’s visual nature – it’s heartbreaking beauty.

It would be remiss to not extend kudos to editor Thelma Schoonmaker. Her work here isn’t surprising, considering what she did with The Irishman but the film is made stronger by her presence at the table. 

To wrap things off, the film’s ending is one of Scorsese’s most, dare I say, reflective. The language of film or the art of telling a story, no matter how well-thought-out or intricately produced, is always going to be just that, a retelling.

Robert De Niro in a still from Killers of the Flower Moon.

There is perhaps no real way to capture the horrors of human suffering or the darkest consequences of evil. Maybe that’s what Scorsese attempts to close his film with– an attempt to recontextualise the fact that we are watching a piece of entertainment about the aforementioned. That, we as viewers, have a responsibility to step out of some films not viewing them merely as pieces of entertainment but as conversation starters. 

Because it is cinema, at the end of the day, that reaches such a wide audience and can always, at its most imaginative or even most banal, have an impact.

Martin Scorsese: ‘Robert De Niro is the only one who really knows where I come from’

Post By Entertainment , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Martin Scorsese’s energy is still infectious. 

Talking to us virtually, the 80-year-old filmmaking legend’s responses to our questions are deep, measured, and full of sparkling insight. After six decades of enthralling audiences worldwide with a prolific oeuvre that few can rival — and tackling everything from gangsters and mobsters to epic biopics and Wall Street stockbrokers — he now takes on a western crime saga set in the 1920s.

Based on a real-life story, Killers of the Flower Moon is a crime-thriller narrated through the romance between Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone). 

Adapted from David Grann’s bestselling book, the film traces the horrific Oklahoma murders of several members of the Osage Nation — after oil was discovered underneath their land – making these Native Americans living there some of the richest people in the world overnight. It also follows one of the earliest homicide cases the FBI ever took on when the organisation was first created by J. Edward Hoover. 

With a screenplay by Eric Roth and Martin Scorsese, the project also brings Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro together on-screen for the first time in 30 years since their first collaboration in This Boy’s Life (1993).

It’s perhaps surprising that the visionary has only won one Academy Award for Best Director — for The Departed in 2007. However, that might change as the critical acclaim for Killers of the Flower Moon has already made Scorsese an early favourite at the awards circuit next year.

Excerpts from the interaction:

On ensuring that the Osage community felt accurately represented

Martin Scorsese: When they gave me the book, I went, “Well, if you want me to be involved with anything that has to do with Indigenous people and Native Americans, I had an experience in the ‘70s where I began to become aware of the nature of what their situation was, and still is.” 

I had been blithely unaware. Back then, I was too young; I was in my 20s! It’s taken me years, and I’m fascinated by how to really deal with that culture in a way that is respectful and not hagiographic (representing the person as perfect or much better than they really are). It should not fall into Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s noble Native sort of thing…

I wondered how we can still have authenticity, respect, and dignity, and deal with the truth honestly as best we can? When I read David Grann’s book, it indicated to me that this would be the story to deal with that way. And, particularly by getting involved with the culture of the Osage, actually placing cultural elements, rituals and spiritual moments. 

‘A story of complicity; of sin by omission’

MS: Ultimately, the film was supplemented by the times that we went out to Oklahoma and met with the Osage. My first meeting was with Chief Standing Bear and his group, and it was very different from what I expected; they were naturally cautious. I had to explain to them that we weren’t going to fall into the trap; the cliché of victims, the drunken Indian, and all this sort of thing. I just wanted to tell the story as straight as possible. I realised that these are things that really weren’t talked about in the generation I was talking to; it was the generation before them that this happened to!

Eventually, Leo decided to play the character of Ernest Burkhart instead of Tom White (the BOI agent), which eventually went to Jesse Plemons. We started reworking the script, and it became gritty. Instead of coming in and finding out whodunnit, in reality it’s about who didn’t do it. It’s a story of complicity; of sin by omission. That’s what afforded us the opportunity to open the picture up and start from the inside out.

Creating his vision in a historically accurate, but emotionally resonant way   

MS: Thankfully, we had a lot of support from the Osage authorities who were guiding us on how to go about these things; we even tested the accuracy of the rituals, the baby namings, the weddings, and the funerals with them.

We also had several language teachers, and Lily Gladstone learnt the language. As did Leo and De Niro, who really fell in love with it and wanted to do more scenes in Osage. I suggested that it might be too much for him, but he just liked the sound of it!  Marianne Bower, my archivist, was also instrumental in keeping it all together between myself and the Osage. 

Why Scorsese was adamant about shooting ‘Killers’ in Oklahoma

MS: I think the first time I visited Oklahoma was in 2019. It’s a little confusing because of shooting Irishman, and doing the CGI on The Irishman, which was a longer post-production — four to five months — and then COVID hitting. But I know we were there before COVID. 

I began to realise that the land itself could be sinister. In other words, you’re in a place like this, and you don’t see people for miles? But when I saw that, I realised this is a place where you don’t need the law. 

I mean, you have the law, but it’s wide-open territory. So the place, as beautiful as it is, can shift to being very sinister. And what I wanted to capture, ultimately, was the very nature of the virus or the cancer that creates this sense of a kind of easygoing genocide. That’s why we went with the story with Mollie and Ernest because that’s the basis of love; love is the basis of trust. So, when there’s a betrayal that way, that’s deep.

On working with Lily Gladstone, and why she was essential to the film

MS: I first saw Lily in Kelly Reichardt’s film Certain Women, and she was terrific in it. We met on Zoom later, and I was very impressed by her presence, intelligence, and the emotion that’s there in her face. You see it, you feel it, it’s all working behind the eyes.

Also her activism, which wasn’t overtaking the art. In other words, the art was the activist. So the art takes over — in a way which we think then would be more resonant later on — after you see the movie, you may be thinking about it more, rather than a person preaching at you.

The first big scene we did was one of my favourite scenes, where she had dinner with Ernest alone, and she’s questioning him by doing a little bit of an interrogation. There’s also the scene where Ernest’s driving her in the taxi; it’s only one shot, and he says something about who’s going to be in the horse race, and she answers in Osage. He asks, “What did you say?” and she says it in Osage again. And he responds, “Well, I don’t know what that was, but it must have been Indian for a handsome devil.” That’s an improv, and you see her laugh for real! In that moment, you have the actual relationship between the two actors. 

These were the moments that we felt very comfortable with her, and that’s why we needed her to help us tell the story of the women there. We would always check with her and work with her on the script — adding and rewriting scenes constantly.

50 years with Robert De Niro and counting; It’s all about trust and love

MS: Well, in the case of De Niro, we were teenagers together. He’s the only one who really knows where I come from, the people that I knew, and all that. We had a testing ground in the ‘70s, where we tried everything and found that we trusted each other. It’s all about trust and love, really. Very often, if an actor has a lot of power, they could take over your picture. But with him, I never felt that. There was freedom, experimenting, and we were not afraid of anything.

One day, he told me he worked with this kid, Leonardo DiCaprio in This Boy’s Life, and said, “You should work with this kid sometime.” He said it casually, but he rarely gave me recommendations. 

Sharing similar sensibilities with Leonardo DiCaprio, and how they push each other on set

MS: So years go by, and Leo and I worked together on Gangs of New York. Then, we developed more of a relationship when we did The Aviator. There was kind of something happening, a maturity within him; I’m not quite sure, but we really clicked in certain scenes. That led to The Departed, and then we became much closer.

He’ll call me and say, “You know, I had a cold, and I was looking at Criterion films, and, you know, I wanted to catch up on some of these classics, and I saw this incredible movie. It’s incredible. It’s a Japanese picture. It’s called Tokyo Story; did you ever see it?”

We really found out that, even though there’s a 30-year difference between us, there are similar sensibilities. He’d suddenly ask me to listen to a record, and it’s Louis Jordan and Ella Fitzgerald! I grew up with it. He’s not bringing me anything new, but he likes it. That’s very interesting to me, to be open that way to older parts of our culture and the newer parts, of course.

Particularly when doing The Wolf of Wall Street, he came up with some wonderful stuff that was outrageous. So I pushed him, then he pushed me, and then I pushed him more, and suddenly everything was wild. It was really quite something. He had a good energy too on the set. That’s also important because in the mornings, I’m not really good, but I’d get on set and see him or Jonah Hill or Margot Robbie, or him and Lily Gladstone, and they’re all like, “Hey!” and I’d say, “Okay, let’s work.”
