my guesses for Sunday night’s 86th Academy Awards
Winners are indicated. I got 16/24. Pretty good, if I may say so myself.
Sandra Bullock
women at the Golden Globes = “too much estrogen”
Marvel at the terror of a man seeing the dominance of his privilege challenged on unwitting display.
the Alliance of Women Film Journalists 2013 EDA Award winners
12 Years a Slave and Gravity win big…
your awards-season cheat sheet… or how to sound like an insider (even if you’re not)
Shhh! don’t tell anywhere where you heard all this…
attention, Hollywood: the wild success of Gravity means audiences have no trouble identifying with a female protagonist
You know how you just avoid making movies with female protagonists because you keep insisting that no one wants to see them? Pfffft!
Gravity review: nowhere to go but down (London Film Festival)
Stunningly accomplished space survival adventure: heartstopping and heartbreaking; the best film of 2013. Just don’t call it science fiction.
who — if anyone — has emerged as an indisputable movie star since the year 2000?
We’re nearly 15 years into the century — it shouldn’t be so hard to think of names to fill this roster.
The Heat review: buddy crap
Meanspirited where it’s meant to be funny. Misogynist crap is still misogynist crap when it stars women.
interesting stuff I found online (that you might find interesting too)
20th Century Fox is embarrassed by the stars of its film The Heat; Vice thinks women writers are most beautiful when they shut up and die; the madness of George (Lucas); and more.
