David O. Russell appeared at Santa Barbara Festival during a Q&A for the 10th Anniversary of “Silver Linings Playbook” and said that his upcoming “Canterbury Glass” is in the editing phase.

Since 2009, only three movies have won PGA and not gone on to win the Oscar for best picture — “The Big Short”, “La La Land” and “1917”.

Forgive me for being late to the party when it comes to Martin Scorsese’s moving speech to Jane Campion and “The Power of the Dog” at Wednesday evening’s New York Film Critics Circle ceremony.

The 75th Cannes Film Festival is just two weeks away and I’m hearing Thierry Fremaux is very late in completing his selection of films. In fact, not many have been selected.

And you wonder why she didn’t get an Oscar nomination …

Production on Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” has commenced in New Mexico. We also have our first on-set photo.

Just to be clear, the biggest movie tune of 2022, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” is not nominated for Best Song at the Oscars. Rather, Dos Oruguitas,” another song from “Encanto,” is nominated and will likely win the category (mostly because voters will probably think it’s ‘Bruno.’)

The SXSW award winners were announced last night. James Morsini’s “I Love You Dad” won the top prize. You can call this one a shocking win. The polarizing film received mixed reviews and was even called out by some.

Cannes has not yet announced who will be part of this year’s Official Competition jury, nor have they revealed who will be the jury President.

Back in 1998, there weren’t many cinephiles who hadn’t seen Tony Kaye’s “American History X.”

It doesn’t look as though Paul Schrader is a fan of Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog.”

I already mentioned that “Elvis” and Top Gun” had out-of-competition slots booked for Cannes. The trades are now confirming it. I’ve also been hearing for a few weeks now that Pixar’s “Lightyear” was headed to the Croisette as well.

Hidden inside IndieWire’s recent interview with Nicolas Cage is the actor’s admittance that his critically-acclaimed 2021 film “Pig” was actually rejected by the Cannes Film Festival.

It’s almost comical how Jane Campion went, in the court of Twitter opinion, from feminist superheroine to total racist in the span of just a few hours.

Ariana DeBose has just won the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress. This, in addition to her important SAG win sets her up to undeservedly win the Oscar.

The BAFTA Awards occurred this evening in London. Are they useless in relation to Oscar prognostication? You tell me. I’m as confused as you are right now about the rule changes.

Jane Campion (The Power of the Dog) has won the Directors Guild of America, obviously.
