David Copperfield Totally Lost Out on Orson Welles’s Oscar

Posted on December 21, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Tucked away in this report that Orson’s Welles’s Citizen Kane Oscar finally sold this week for $861,542, find this depressing revelation: “Underbidder David Copperfield had been eager to acquire the statuette because Welles apparently was something of a magician himself. Copperfield already owns many props from the movie.” The winner of the auction has not been identified, but whatever. “Underbidder David Copperfield.” Saddest holiday ever. [ Deadline ]

Let’s Rank the 10 Finest Screen Performances of 2011

Posted on December 21, 2011 by | Leave a comment

If you’re both a movie fan and a consummate statistician, it’s easy to love and appreciate the Oscars for shoehorning the majority of film history into a manageable grading rubric. I’m an Oscar apologist myself, and I still have one bone to pick with the Academy — and all award-spewing organizations: the unnecessary reliance on gender-based categories. Is it not more thrilling to pit all actors against each other? Is there such an objective difference between Jeff Bridges and Sandra Bullock? Meryl Streep and Robert Downey Jr.? “Actor” is a gender-neutral term, and I think we’d all better off — and better entertained — without the meaningless siphoning. Thus, I’m stacking up the best performances of 2011 without categorical regard for gender or role size. It’s a winner-take-all affair, and this winner definitely wants it all. Here’s my top 10:

Wim Wenders on Pina, 3-D Epiphanies and Until the End of the World at 20

Posted on December 20, 2011 by | Leave a comment

After more than four decades of creative peaks, valleys, experiments and triumphs that have established him as one of the most eclectic filmmakers of his generation, Wim Wenders has ventured into entirely new territory for his new documentary Pina : 3-D. The film’s subject — the late, legendary choreographer (and Wenders’s longtime friend) Pina Bausch — likely wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

Janusz Kaminski on Shooting War Horse, Avoiding 3-D, and Those Spielberg Close-Ups

Posted on December 20, 2011 by | Leave a comment

For most of the last 18 years as Steven Spielberg’s go-to cinematographer, Janusz Kaminski has held one of the sweetest creative gigs in Hollywood. The post has netted the Polish D.P. two Academy Awards (for Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan , plus an additional nomination for Amistad ) and credits on some of the most commercially successful films of the last generation, but more than that, it has made Kaminski’s eye the one through which audiences witness Spielberg’s influential vision of the past, present and future. It’s a huge responsibility. It’s also a singular opportunity.

Let’s compare notes with the Young Adult star and come up with our own recipes for Oscar victories in the big four acting categories.
