FWIW, Citizenfour is far from Laura Poitras' first film.

Re: Pre-season Thoughts
The DNA profile for this type of role, though, seems to indicate that Imelda Staunton in Pride will be this year's biddy rooting interest.

Needless to say, the one and only time you'll see me voting for Payne.

Re: Best Screenplay 2008
Ain't that the truth. Daldry only wishes he could direct as well as Metzger, and The Reader would be lucky to be as good as "softcore porn crossed with Nazism" (e.g. Salon Kitty).Big Magilla wrote:I didn't find it even remotely in the same league as the soft porn realm of hacks like Radley Metzger.

Re: Cannes
Closest to a surprise ... Bennett Miller taking director. Well-reviewed mainstream Hollywood films that seem like Oscar hopefuls -- LA Confidential, No Country for Old Men, Mystic River -- have tended to leave Cannes with great critical praise but few major prizes. Meh, take a look at the history o...

Re: Mad Men's Final Season
I also think that both Megan and Bonnie are finished. The curtain being closed on them in flight felt very final to me. It took Matthew Zoller Seitz's recap in Vulture to make it clear to me that Megan packing things and asking for the two of them to meet somewhere on "neutral territory" ...

Re: Mad Men's Final Season
The return of (and presumably final appearance of) Bob Benson was haunting, and made even more haunting given it was a moment the show understandably never afforded Sal.

Re: Best Original Screenplay 2013
Have seen all five. Consider Her 's screenplay more problematic than its direction and performances, but also think that its conceptual premise is underrated as a tenet of its screenplay. A ludicrously easy vote over the rest of this field. The closest runner up would likely be American Hustle , but...

Re: Best Actress 2013
I do understand the complaint that, with Streep barging through the movie like a gorgon, the entire film starts to feel lopsided, as if what you're watching should almost be retitled Meryl Streep!!!!: The Movie. But on the flip side, her high octane turn was the most commanding thing in sight, and ...
