    HERE'S A BAFTA CATEGORY:

    Napoleon
    The Old Oak
    Poor Things
    Rye Lane
    Saltburn
    Scrapper
    Wonka
    The Zone of Interest
    Bong! Lacunae revealed. I haven't seen Rye Lane* or The Old Oak. Have to work on that. Just rewatched Scrapper: it's a film I enjoy rewatching, appreciating how Lola Campbell and Harris Dickinson play off each other. The Oscar bros point out though it has several nominations including Special Effects, Napoleon was rotten on ROTTENTOMATOES with both audience and critics (58%/59%)).

    _____________
    *Seen Rye Lane now. It's wonderful. (Metacritic rating 82%, by the way.)

    SOURCE

    I'm waiting to see the Oscar Expert bros reactions. They certainly got some things wrong. Did they know Poor Things would be this much favored? They may have foreseen that Barbie would come away with nothing. Did the BAFTA jury not favor British films as much as they might have? But while Oppenheimer is about Americans, its director and star are British. It's funny, though, that The Zone of Interest, in German, set in Germany, gets "Best British Film." Poor Things is a British story, though some say it's not a faithful version of it; Greek director and American stars, though. The Oscar Expert bros were excited that The Zone of Interest won something else: Best Sound.

    The (French) 49th César awards



    ANATOMY OF A FALL/L'ANATOMIE D'UNE CHUTE by Justine Triet was the big winner (six trophies, eleven noms) - also much admired in the US. It was named Best Picture; Thomas Cailley's THE ANIMAL KINGDOM/LE RÉGNE ANIMAL, starring Romain Duris and Paul Kircher, was in second place. There was also a career achievement award to OPPENHEIMER's Christopher Nolan.

    Swann Arlaud the lawyer in ANATOMY, won Best Supporting Actor. Sandra Hüller won Best Actress. Best Original Screenplay went to Justine Triet and her cowriter Arthur Harari.

    Hüller won over Oscar winner Marion Cotillard, nominated for LITTLE GIRL BLUE; Lea Drucker, up for LAST SUMMER; Hafsia Herzi, nominated for The Rapture; and Belgian actress Virginie Efira, nominated for her work in JUST THE TWO OF US.


    JUSTINE TRIET, DIRECTOR OF ANATOMY OF A FALL

    The other big winner on the night was THE ANIMAL KINGDOM, French director Thomas Cailley’s follow-up to 2014’s LOVE AT FIRST FLIGHT. Cailley picked up the best cinematography trophy and a slew of wins in craft categories like best sound, original score, costumes and special effects.

    In other acting categories, Arieh Worthalter won best actor for his starring role in Cédric Kahn’s courtroom drama THE GOLDMAN CASE, and Adčle Exarchopoulos won for best supporting actress for her star turn in ALL YOUR FACES.



    SWANN ARLAUD, SANDRA HÜLLER IN ANATOMY OF A FALL

    ANATOMY OF A FALL was reviewed on Filmleaf as part of the 2023 NYFF. THE ANIMAL KINGDOM and LITTLE GIRL BLUE have recently been reviewed here as part of the Rendez-Vous with French Cinema. THE GOLDMAN CASE and ALL YOUR FACES haven't been covered here yet.

    Sandra Hüller has been looking like the European star of the year, appearing in both ANATOMY OF A FALL and English director Jonathan Glazer's German-language Auschwitz-ralated film THE ZONE OF INTEREST - arguably the two best European films of 2023.


    ROMAIN DURIS, PAUL KIRCHER IN LE RČGNE ANIMAL

    Are you ready for the Oscars?



    SANDRA HÜLLER IN THE ZONE OF INTEREST

    The big (American) awards we've been waiting for are coming Sunday night. Here are some arguments from today's GUARDIAN. What's your pick? Oppenheimer?

    Best picture Oscar hustings:

    Why Past Lives should win the best Picture Oscar

    Why The Holdovers should win the best picture Oscar

    Why Maestro should win the best picture Oscar

    Why Barbie should win the best picture Oscar

    Why The Zone of Interest should win the best picture Oscar
    . . .BUT:

    Serious themes, serious people, an unflinching dedication to both the craft and the medium of cinema, Oppenheimer ticks the boxes. Bookmakers are duly offering odds as short as 1/25 on for it to take home best picture.

    Why Oppenheimer should win the best picture Oscar

    Oe maybe Anatomy of a Fall is your pick, or another movie.

    EMMA STONE GIVING HER OSCAR ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

    Oscar's "Night" 2024

    The awards. This year the quality was very high. There are nothing but good things to say about THE ZONE OF INTEREST (an unusually brilliant and edgy Best International Feature Film), OPPENHEIMER, POOR THINGS and its remarkable star Emma Stone, the wonderfully entertaining and smart ANATOMY OF A FALL and Sandra Hüller, who starred in both ANATOMY and ZONE (and though she got no statuette, could be seen sitting there smiling). We might have chosen THE HOLDOVERS. We might have chosen Paul Giamatti. But it was hard to feel disappointed under the circumstances with any of the awards, especially since all the main ones where exactly as expected from the lead-up awards seasons predictions chronicled on this Filmleaf thread.

    Snubs? KILLERS didn't get anything, which has happened to Scorsese before. Sadly, Bradley Cooper again didn't get anything for what the show called his "renaissance man" performance, despite reportedly six years learning to conduct a symphony orchestra, and his movie got nothing even for the elaborate makeup by the renowned Kazu Hiro, or for writing, directing, and starring as Leonard Bernstein. Indications are the Academy just didn't like MAESTRO. Maybe if they'd seen it at in the NYFF Main Slate, where everything looks better, as this reporter did, they'd have liked it more. THE BOY AND THE HERON won Best Animated Feature, though as Miyazaki goes it was a bit meh, some think, and everybody loved the new SPIDERMAN. Some of us wish that Annette Bening and Jodie Foster had gotten to go up to the stage instead of just sit and smile.

    The show. How did the awards show itself go? Jimmy Kimmel gave a nice, informative intro speech with mild laughs that ruffled few feathers, though it fully honored the labor issues that dominated a lot of Hollywood's year, and endorsed the unions. Ryan Gosling showed his talent with a full-throated performance of the "Ken" song.

    Flubs and caresses. The 83-year-old Al Pacino, though like the 80-year-old Robert DiNiro he fathered a baby with a young girlfriend last year, seemed to show cognitive impairment judging by the way he walked on and and just tore open the award envelope for Best Picture with no introduction at all. He read it off right - OPPENHEIMER - though he didn't seem 100% sure he was getting it right. On the other hand the Best Actor awards were elaborately and handsomely introduced by a set of previous winners providing lots of complimentary descriptions of each nominee, which ought to be satisfying to everybody - except those who find scenes of mutual congratulation a bit much (in which case they should probably not watch the Oscars).

    Mishaps? Da'Vine Joy Randolph failed to applaud for the Best Documentary Feature Oscar, 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL. Did she find it just too depressing, or was she having a costume malfunction, like Emma Stone, whose zipper broke on her sea-lime Louis Vuitton gown before she went up to receive her statuette? If she hadn't pointed this out so plainly people might not have noticed - but I guess under that kind of spotlight somebody always will.

    Jonathan Glazer gave the one political acceptance speech, swiftly passed over perhaps here, perhaps a bit confused and confusing, about Gaza and the nightmare in Israel.*

    Too early? The ceremony began at seven p.m. East Coast time, which meant four p.m. West Coast time. That's not very festive, considering especially that it was the first day on Daylight Saving Time, so by our bodies' time it was three in the afternoon. And by the way, when are we going to get rid of Daylight Saving Time - which nobody likes?

    Though I was unusually well prepared this year, there remains catching up to do. Still not seen: THE WONDERFUL STORY OF HENRY SUGAR,** Wes Anderson's prize-winning short. 20 DAYS AT MARIUPOL. SOCIETY OF THE SNOW. Tough watches, those. Maybe better start with GODZILLA MINUS ONE.

    RADICAL (Christopher Zalla).


    EUGENIO DERBEZ AND YOUTHFUL CAST IN RADICAL

    An engaging outlier in last year's 'best foreign' list

    Remember earlier on this thread we listed "a best international list"? I was:
    ANATOMY OF A FALL (France)
    CONCRETE UTOPIA (South Korea)
    FALLEN LEAVES (Finland)
    JAEWAN (India)
    PERFECT DAYS (Japan)
    RADICAL (Mexico)
    SOCIETY OF THE SNOW (SPAIN)
    THE TEACHERS' LOUNGE (Germany)
    THE ZONE OF INTEREST (England)
    This omits the other French fave by the way, THE TASTE OF THINGS.
    Well, still have not found JAEWAN or cracked SOCIETY OF THE SNOW, but now Ihave seen Christopher Zalla's crowd-pleasing charismatic teacher uplift movie, RADICAL. I've posted a review based on my journal entry, somewhat expanded: see it HERE.
