Posted on January 4, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The guild awards just keep on coming! Right on the heels of the Producers Guild nominations earlier today , the Writers Guild announced their nominees via press release. Round up the usual suspects: The Social Network , The Fighter , Black Swan , The Kids Are All Right , 127 Hours , True Grit , Inception and The Town all scored nominations (it looks like Ben Affleck’s film is steamrolling toward the Kodak Theater). So, too, did Please Give and I Love You Phillip Morris , two surprise nominees helped out by the fact that many favorites, including The King’s Speech and Toy Story 3 , were deemed ineligible because of rule violations. Womp womp. Click ahead for the full list.

All the Films You Expected to Get Nominated by the Producers Guild Got Nominated

Posted on January 4, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Well, almost all of them. For those keeping score at home, the only film not nominated by the Producers Guild that’s also on the list of Best Picture candidates over at the Movieline Oscar Index was Winter’s Bone ; the beloved indie failed to make the cut, replaced instead by Ben Affleck’s The Town . Otherwise, status quo: The Social Network , The King’s Speech , The Fighter , Black Swan , The Kids Are All Right , Inception , Toy Story 3 , 127 Hours and True Grit all received nominations from the PGA, meaning they’re one step closer to fulfilling their predicted Oscar glory. Click ahead for the full list of Producers Guild nominees.

Will Sony Play the Karate Kid Card in its Oscar War Vs. King’s Speech?

Posted on December 30, 2010 by | Leave a comment

As noted in today’s edition of The Broadsheet, a writer at VF. com has made a compelling (or at least intriguing, or at least time-killing) case for The King’s Speech being little more than a well-produced riff on the original 1984 version of The Karate Kid . On the one hand, tropes is tropes; there are only so many original stories in the world, and eventually everything will have something in common. On the other… I mean, “The unorthodox, uncredentialed teacher is contrasted with a cruel — but more respected — educator.” Or, “The teacher helps fill a void left by the student’s absent father.” Is this the beginning of a covert Sony vs. Weinstein Oscar-season war?

DVD: Twelve Keeps the Our-Youth-Are-Doomed Genre Alive

Posted on December 29, 2010 by | Leave a comment

You’ve probably heard this quote from eighth century BC philosopher Hesiod in some high school valedictorian’s speech: “I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words… When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly [disrespectful] and impatient of restraint.” And so it goes, with each generation bemoaning the horrors of the new brats snapping at their heels.

Well, here we go: Nomination ballots are in Academy voters’ mailboxes as of this week, meaning that the ” [m]ost over-covered, over-considered Oscar season ever ” just became that much more over-covered and over-considered. How can we ever hope to break it down? To the Index!

Stephanie Zacharek’s 10 Best Movies of 2010

Posted on December 22, 2010 by | Comments Off on Stephanie Zacharek’s 10 Best Movies of 2010

There’s probably no good reason to read any movie critic’s Top 10 list, but lots of people — including myself — read them anyway. Let’s not be falsely modest about it: It’s an honor to be able to compile a list and to have a place, online or otherwise, to moor it. But everyone who cares about movies has his or her own private list, posted online or not, which may include some or all of the usual suspects in a given year (like The Social Network or The King’s Speech , pictures which lots of people, though not all people, seem to love) as well as a selection of fiercely protected personal favorites.

Posted on December 22, 2010 by | Comments Off on Oscar Index: When SAG Things Happen to Good Actors

Three months down, one to go as Movieline’s redoubtable Oscar Index tracks the cutthroat dynamics, strategies, tea-leaf analyses and total flukes leading up to the 83rd Academy Award nominations. This week’s SAG Award nominations and continued critics prizes led to an blippy array of movements, with most occurring (perhaps obviously) in the increasingly competitive actors categories. Let’s break it down.
