Lily Gladstone: ‘I lived in the reservations until I was 11’
2 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The Native American actor and breakout star of Certain Women on stereotyped casting, her famous forebears and horseback riding with Kristen Stewart
What is interesting about what has been described as newcomer Lily Gladstone’s “big break” is that, in one sense, it is not big at all. This is the quietest film sensation imaginable – a role with minimal dialogue but major impact. Gladstone appears in Certain Women, written and directed by Kelly Reichardt, alongside box-office names Michelle Williams, Laura Dern and Kristen Stewart. Last October it won the best film award at the London film festival and Gladstone’s performance has been singled out. Rolling Stone’s critic, after dutifully saluting the stars (all three are excellent), writes: “Gladstone gives a performance of such piercing honesty and yearning, you almost can’t look at her.” The film, based on short stories by Maile Meloy, involves real women leading ordinarily complicated lives. »

Produced by Lauren Beck, Matt Damon, Chris Moore, Kimberly Steward
Written and Directed by Kenneth Lonergan
A major Oscar contender, Kenneth Longergan’s Manchester by the Sea is certainly sobering, yet is nowhere near as depressing as the initial word on the street would have had us believe. We all know of tragedies that happen all the time, things that we go to sleep at night praying won’t happen to us. Bad things happen to people and not all of it is their own fault — accidents, weather-related calamities, sudden catastrophic health issues. The rule of positive thinking tells us to continue onward like herd animals, »

Oscars: Michelle Williams on "Allowing Myself to Make Mistakes" and Her "Perfect" Awards-Show Seatmate
14 hours ago | The Hollywood Reporter - Movie News | See recent The Hollywood Reporter - Movie News news »
While Williams' performance in Manchester by the Sea lasts only about 11 minutes — she plays Casey Affleck's ex-wife Randi, who divorces him after a family tragedy — it nevertheless packs a punch, earning her a fourth Oscar nomination (her first since 2011's My Week With Marilyn).
What was the hardest part to get right? The look? The accent?
I think they all really go together. Without a carefully constructed building, the whole thing falls apart. I treated all of the aspects equally seriously.
Nicole Kidman has said that shorter roles can be tougher than longer ones. Do you agree?

Oscar Nominees Share Their Worst Studio Notes
16 hours ago | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
In terms of genre movies, there has been a lot of talk about reshoots and studio executives tinkering with movies until they no longer resemble what was once supposed to be. Just over the past year, we've heard that Suicide Squad and Rogue One were both victims to too many cooks in the kitchen. But guess what? Oscar nominated movies aren't exempt from this either. The Wrap recently gathered a number of Oscar nominated screenwriters and directors to talk about some of the bad advice they've been given while trying to bring their magical ideas to life. And most of these are pretty laughable.
Studio executives, producers and even actors sometimes think their ideas are better than what has landed in their hand from the screenwriter. Take Hidden Figures for example. It's a science drama that is essentially about math. Screenwriters Allison Schroeder and Theodore Melfi, attending the annual Writers »

Oscars: 'Manchester by the Sea' Star Lucas Hedges Talks Wanting to Find Love Onscreen and in Real Life
17 hours ago | The Hollywood Reporter - Movie News | See recent The Hollywood Reporter - Movie News news »
Hedges is making his Oscar debut for his role as Casey Affleck's nephew, Patrick, in Kenneth Lonergan's Manchester by the Sea, but there's already a past nominee in the family: His dad, screenwriter Peter Hedges, was nominated for adapting Nick Hornby's About a Boy in 2003.
At 20, Hedges is the youngest acting nominee this year. He's currently performing in the off-Broadway playYen, but took a quick break to speak with THR about carving his own path.
What were your first conversations with Lonergan about?
I came in with a very emotional interpretation of a few of his scenes the »

Oscars 2017: How Does This Year’s Crop of Female Producers Fit in With the Best Picture Category’s History?

Managing Editor
There was always a chance for the best picture category at the 2017 Academy Awards to feature solid representation for female producers and, with the nominations official, the numbers are in. Turns out there are five of the nine films in this year’s top category with women behind it — but how does that stand up to the rest of Oscar history?
As mentioned above, there are five out of the total nine films in the best picture category this year that took some girl power to get made. There’s Hell or High Water (Carla Hacken and Julie Yorn), Hidden Figures (Donna Gigliotti and Jenno Topping), Lion (Angie Fielder), Manchester by the Sea (Kimberly Steward and Lauren Beck), and finally Moonlight (Adele Romanski and Dede Gardner). This leaves out Arrival, Fences, Hacksaw Ridge, and La La Land as »

4 Quadrant Podcast Ep 8: ‘Manchester By The Sea’ Producer Kimberly Steward On Her Oscar Nod And Indie Filmmaking

It’s a pretty amazing two years for Kimberly Steward. At this time in 2015 Steward was on the set of Kenneth Lonergan‘s “Manchester by the Sea” as the production battled blizzards and snow to get finished on time. 12 months ago Steward just returned from Sundance where “Manchester” wowed crowds and was acquired for a pretty penny by Amazon Studios.

Updated Oscar predictions as February rolls along
10 February 2017 11:09 AM, PST | Hollywoodnews.com | See recent Hollywoodnews.com news »
If it’s a Friday during the awards season, you know what time it is. Yes, it’s time for a new set of Academy Award predictions! We’re now only a few short weeks away from the Oscars, so the precursors are beginning to wrap up, leading to some definitive frontrunners. There are still some potential surprises to come, but they’re getting to be fewer and further in between. Right now, we’re a couple of days away from voting beginning (Monday, specifically), so it’s a big of a holding pattern. Once ballots are in hand, we might start to get a final feel for how the races might turn out. Until then, we wait and predict. There’s only some small tinkering below, but more will be coming during the next few weeks, as predictions get locked in. I feel like a handful of the major categories are sewn up, »

Damien Chazelle and Kenneth Lonergan are Neck and Neck in Original Screenplay Oscar Race — Here’s Why
10 February 2017 9:37 AM, PST | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
When the Academy moved Barry Jenkins’ script for “Moonlight” to the Adapted Screenplay category, the Oscar race for Original Screenplay became a battle between two writer-directors. While Damien Chzelle’s reboot of the Hollywood musical is a strong contender throughout its 14 nominations, and Oscar voters will tick plenty of “La La Land” boxes on their ballots, it’s still rare for an original musical to land a screenplay win. (Alan Jay Lerner’s “An American in Paris” and Mel Brooks’ “The Producers” are exceptions.)
That’s why lauded playwright and screenwriter Kenneth Lonergan could win this race.
Here’s how Original Screenplay is shaking out:
Kenneth Lonergan (“Manchester by the Sea”)
The Oscar could go to the comeback writer-director for his tragic New England family drama.
Lonergan initially struggled with “Margaret” star Matt Damon and John Krasinski’s story idea about a man with a tragic history who must face »

With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we’ve taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit platforms. Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming titles (new and old) across platforms such as Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, and more (note: U.S. only). Check out our rundown for this week’s selections below.
Crimson Peak (Guillermo del Toro)
Crimson Peak works as many things: a melodramatic romance; both the recreation of a period and a revival of the way movies have made us perceive it; a genre-jumping comedy; and a critique of capitalistic excess. It does these things earnestly and without compromise, and it’s far braver — far more admirable — for having done so. What Guillermo del Toro’s new film doesn »

Andrew Garfield Has Already Given His Oscar Acceptance Speech
10 February 2017 7:15 AM, PST | The Hollywood Reporter - Movie News | See recent The Hollywood Reporter - Movie News news »
"Never say never," says first-time Oscar nominee Andrew Garfield.
Vying for best actor in a category that includes Manchester by the Sea's Casey Affleck and Fences' Denzel Washington, as well as Ryan Gosling and Viggo Mortensen, the Hacksaw Ridge star earnestly notes, with a laugh: "I don't believe I am going to have to go up there and make an acceptance speech this time around."
In the Mel Gibson-directed biopic, Garfield plays real-life World War II U.S. Army medic Desmond Doss, a Seventh-day Adventist who served without a gun.

What were your first conversations with Lonergan?

IndieWire’s Movie Podcast: Screen Talk (Episode 135) – Everyone Loves Isabelle Huppert
10 February 2017 6:59 AM, PST | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
For months now, we’ve been talking about the same three movies leading the Oscar race — “La La Land,” “Moonlight” and “Manchester By the Sea” — but there are other recurring names in different categories, and none has been more fascinating to watch than Isabelle Huppert.
While Paul Verhoeven’s provocative “Elle” wasn’t an easy sell for everyone, and didn’t even make the Oscar shortlist in the foreign language category, Huppert’s domineering performance as a rape survivor who tracks down her assailant reminded moviegoers around the world why she’s such an icon of contemporary cinema. Even as Emma Stone maintains serious traction for best actress for her “La La Land” performance, Huppert has a serious shot of taking the prize. How do we explain her ongoing momentum?

Writers Guild Award-Nominated Screenwriters Discuss Their ‘Worst Notes Ever’
9 February 2017 11:47 PM, PST | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
With screenwriting comes notes — from stars, directors, producers and studio executives — and stories about notes that make no sense.
Nominees for this year’s Writers Guild Awards bonded Thursday night on a panel that delved into many topics including the “worst notes ever” — helpful hints from collaborators that were not helpful at all.
“Moonlight” writer-director Barry Jenkins shared a couple of “worst notes” memories from the making of his film about a young African-American man growing up poor in Miami. The biggest clunker: “So where are the white people?”
That non sequitur drew peals of laughter from the crowd at “Beyond Words,” the Writers Guild of America West’s annual panel with the wordsmiths nominated for awards the organization will give out on Feb. 19.
Jenkins appeared with eight other writers and one producer at the event in Beverly Hills, which was co-presented by the Writers Guild Foundation, in partnership with Variety. »

‘Hidden Figures’ Director Ted Melfi Is Done Making Movies With ‘White Guys In Wigs’ — Consider This
9 February 2017 12:30 PM, PST | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
“Hidden Figures” chronicles the way a handful of African American women working at Nasa during the height of the Space Race hanged the course of history. But its production also had a profound effect on its director, Ted Melfi.
“It’s changed my life in very, very dramatic ways,” Melfi recently told IndieWire. “I don’t see myself ever doing a film that doesn’t represent the world today, in terms of the cast and in terms of the crew. I won’t touch anything that’s about four white guys with wigs. Ever.”
Melfi surely speaks from a place of privilege — not just as a white male director in an industry that still favors them, but as the director of a film now nominated for three Oscars, including Best Picture — but it’s a promise that was already in action on the set of “Hidden Figures.” The film featured »
