I didn’t think Andrew Scott could top his performance in All of Us Strangers but with Elsinore he does. What a gorgeous story about creativity in the face of adversity as well as the sheer joy of performance. He should finally be an Oscar nominee this time.

The Odyssey is truly epic in every sense of the word. With three possible acting nominations (Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway & Robert Pattinson), a total of 15 Oscar nods is a real possibility. Toss in Samantha Morton (instantly iconic in a tiny role) and it could tie Sinners with 16.

Day trip to Pasadena so I had to stop by the beautiful Vromans bookstore and sign a few copies of 50 OSCAR NIGHTS. Grab one if you’re in the area!

I said what I said.
A note to my fellow awards watchers ahead of the BAFTAs this weekend: Keep an eye on Robert Aramayo from the beautiful drama I Swear. His performance as a man with Tourette’s is spectacular. He’s up for Best Actor as well as Rising Star and honestly has a shot to win one or both.

FYI, the film opens here in the States this spring so he will technically be Oscar-eligible next year.

I interviewed Robert Duvall once (with his wife Luciana Pedraza for the lovely Assassination Tango) and was pleasantly surprised to see that the intimidating guy from The Godfather and Apocalypse Now was actually quite friendly. For me nothing tops his performance in The Apostle.

Such a blast last night with this year’s Virtuosos at @SBIFF: Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Wagner Moura, Wunmi Mosaku, Chase Infiniti, Amy Madigan, Jacob Elordi, Teyana Taylor, and guest presenter Jane Lynch. It’s my Super Bowl!

So much fun with the fascinating Ethan Hawke at the @SBIFF last night. We celebrated his 40-year career and his first-ever Best Actor Oscar nomination for Blue Moon.

Spent a fun and fascinating hour on stage with this guy last night for @sagaftraFOUND discussing his entire career up to his magnificent performance in Jay Kelly. Our conversation will be on the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s YouTube page soon. 📷: Araya Doheny for @GettyImages

Diane Ladd’s passing today saddens me but also makes me so glad our @TCM film festival and cruise exist. Diane joined us on the cruise in 2019 and it was so special to hear her stories and feel her passion firsthand. Sending love to her family and friends.

What a pleasure to interview the ridiculous cast of Jay Kelly, directed by Noah Baumbach, at a special screening of the film. It’s in theaters next month (and on Netflix in December) and it’ll remind you of everything from Preston Sturges to Cinema Paradiso. Just gorgeous.
