Before his return to the Oscars, Yorgos Lanthimos finds a still moment in Athens

Published by Parlour News

ATHENS, Greece — Oscar-nominated filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos paused his filmmaking and promotion schedule this week to celebrate a quieter creative pursuit: photography. Before his return to the Oscars, Yorgos Lanthimos finds a still moment in Athens The 52-year-old Greek director on Friday inaugurated an exhibition of his photographs in his hometown of Athens, presenting images he has taken over the past five years — many captured while making his films, wandering through movie sets and nearby neighborhoods, or on trips back to Greece. The exhibition gathers 182 still photographs, in color and in black and white, from the filmmaker known for his distinctive — and often disturbing — cinematic style. It opens days before Lanthimos returns to Hollywood for the March 15 Academy Awards ceremony. In his latest film, “Bugonia,” a pair of conspiracy‑obsessed men kidnap a powerful female executive they accuse of being an alien. The movie received four Oscar nominations, including best picture and best actress for Emma Stone, along with nods for adapted screenplay and original score. The photos, all shot with …

Ahead of Oscars, Juliette Binoche hails strength of Cannes winners

Published by Parlour News

For Oscar winner Juliette Binoche, the head of last year’s jury at the Cannes film festival, it’s not hard to understand why the movies that succeeded on the Croisette go on to win accolades in Hollywood. Ahead of Oscars, Juliette Binoche hails strength of Cannes winners And it isn’t because of reforms made to make the voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences more diverse. “The strength of these films leads to their success,” Binoche told AFP in an interview in Los Angeles. It certainly seems like the Cannes jury made some prophetic choices: the crop of films that premiered at the festival earned a total of 19 Oscar nominations. Norwegian family drama “Sentimental Value” which won the second prize, Grand Prix and Brazilian thriller “The Secret Agent” are both in the running for best picture. Cannes’ top Palme d’Or winner “It Was Just An Accident” and rave-themed road trip movie “Sirat,” which took a special jury prize, will compete with those two titles for best international film honors. “It’s because …

Warner hits ‘Sinners’ and ‘One Battle’ tipped for Oscar nominations

Published by Parlour News

Warner Bros may be for sale, but the studio’s acclaimed hits “Sinners” and “One Battle After Another” are expected to dominate the Oscar nominations when the Academy announces its final contenders Thursday. Warner hits ‘Sinners’ and ‘One Battle’ tipped for Oscar nominations Both are tipped to rack up a dozen or more nods for Hollywood’s grandest awards ceremony from best picture and best actor to the new best casting prize. The rare and enviable position of a single Hollywood studio boasting the two clear Oscars frontrunners ironically comes in what could be Warner Bros’ swansong year as an independent distributor. Warner Bros is the target of a fierce bidding war between Paramount Skydance and Netflix. Yet despite the struggles of its parent company Warner Bros Discovery, the storied movie studio has enjoyed a banner year, bucking Tinseltown’s obsession with sequels and backing original fare from auteur filmmakers. “Sinners,” a blues-inflected period horror film about the segregated US South, comes from “Black Panther” director Ryan Coogler. It is expected to land a best actor nomination for …

The Golden Globes are tonight. Here’s what to look for and how to watch and stream the show

Published by Parlour News

The Golden Globes bill themselves as Hollywood’s booziest bash. This year, is anyone ready to party? The Golden Globes are tonight. Here’s what to look for and how to watch and stream the show Political tension and industrywide uncertainty are the prevailing moods heading into Sunday night’s 83rd Golden Globes. Hollywood is coming off a disappointing box-office year and now anxiously awaits the fate of one of its most storied studios, Warner Bros. A celebratory mood might be even more elusive given that the wide majority of the performers and filmmakers congregating at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, oppose the policies of President Donald Trump. Likely to be on the minds of many attendees: the recent U.S. involvement in Venezuela and the fatal shooting of 37-year-old mother Renee Good in Minneapolis by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But through their ups and downs, the Globes have always tried to put pomp over politics. Host Nikki Glaser has vowed as much. “You’d be surprised that half the room had no clue why I was saying …

* Social media posts derail Oscar front-runners Gascon’s past posts damage Netflix’s ‘Emilia Perez’ Oscar hopes * Controversies affect multiple Oscar-nominated films this year * Oscar campaigns often involve personal and professional controversies By Dawn Chmielewski LOS ANGELES, – Netflix’s hopes for claiming an Academy Award for best picture appear to have vanished after a series of embarrassing social media posts resurfaced. The genre-bending musical crime drama “Emilia Perez” looked like the streaming service’s strongest shot yet at best picture after winning the jury prize at the Cannes Film Festival and garnering a total of 13 Academy Award nominations. But prospects for the movie dimmed after a journalist found and translated a series of Spanish-language posts, dating from 2016 through 2020. In them, the film’s Spanish star, Karla Sofia Gascon, described Islam as a “hotbed of infection for humanity” and George Floyd as a “drug addict swindler.” Social media amplified the story to global proportions. Gascon apologized, but the damage was done. “This is the year of somebody basically lighting themself on fire and taking …
