Richard Dreyfuss or Nick Nolte: Who Was Crazier on Oscar Night?

It wasn’t all tepid , frustrating and demoralizing Sunday night at the Oscars. We’ll always have the red carpet with all its bitchy tweets , tuxedo sabotage , wheelchair awkwardness and wackadoodle screen vets getting the live, televised attention they so richly, richly deserve. Take Richard Dreyfuss and Nick Nolte, for example. Who was crazier? Oscar-winner Dreyfuss practically melted with contempt for the whole post-Oscar scene, veering from modulated bickering to some rant about retiring from movies, the Constitution, the conservative political patrons the Koch brothers, and… Well, here. Watch: It made for a fine complement to the evening’s earlier red-carpet batshittery, with nominee Nolte making the most of his face time by discussing crows, pinball machines and whatever else his interviewer brought up (when he could hear and/or understand her): Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

Rhys Ifans on Anonymous, Second-Guessing Shakespeare, and the Intimacy of Spider-Man

Quite likely cinema’s first Shakespearean conspiracy thriller-meets-royal romance fable, Anonymous features Rhys Ifans as Edward De Vere — the Duke of Oxford long considered a front-runner for having authored many (if not all) of the plays attributed to William Shakespeare. It’s a role that even the charismatic Welsh actor wasn’t sure he would lock down before encountering director Roland Emmerich, the erstwhile apocalypse visionary whose boldness made a fine complement to Ifans’s own.
