  • DGA Awards 2019 Winners Include ‘Roma,’ Exclude Bradley Cooper

    DGA Awards 2019 Winners Include ‘Roma,’ Exclude Bradley Cooper

    Carlos Somonte

    The Directors Guild of America held its annual awards ceremony this past weekend, revealing its picks for the best in film and television direction. And while the night’s biggest winner has been earning plenty of accolades in recent weeks, victors in other categories proved that there are no guarantees when it comes to awards season.

    Alfonso Cuaron took home the DGA’s top prize, claiming the Best Feature Film Director award for “Roma.” The Netflix film — loved by critics and tied for the most Oscar nominations in this year’s field — now has a decent shot at winning the Best Director prize at the Academy Awards later this month, since the DGA frequently overlaps with the Oscars.

    Cuaron beat out an impressive field that included Bradley Cooper (“A Star Is Born”), Peter Farrelly (“Green Book”), Spike Lee (“BlacKkKlansman”), and Adam McKay (“Vice”). Cooper was also nominated in the Best First-Time Feature Film Director category, but in a stunning upset, lost the prize to Bo Burnham (“Eighth Grade“). Looks like his Best Director Oscar snub may not have been a fluke after all.

    In other surprises, both “Succession” (McKay) and “Barry” (Bill Hader) took home the top awards in the drama and comedy television categories, respectively, beating out buzzier fare like “The Americans” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”

    A list of winners in the major categories is below. The full list can be found here.

  • Rumor: Lady Gaga Stands Up For Fellow Oscar-Nominated Musicians

    Rumor: Lady Gaga Stands Up For Fellow Oscar-Nominated Musicians

    Warner Bros.

    After failing to secure a host, producers of this year’s Oscars have tried to whittle down the big night by (reportedly) not presenting certain awards like cinematography live. And — gasp — not having all the Oscar-nominated musicians perform during the ceremony.

    They did an about-face on the last one, apparently thanks to Lady Gaga, who is nominated for Best Actress and Best Original Song.

    The Academy  — who reportedly wanted Queen to open the show at one point — had originally decided that only two songs would be performed on Oscar night: “Shallow” from “A Star is Born” and  Kendrick Lamar/SZA’s “All the Stars” from “Black Panther,” according to Deadline.

    That would mean we wouldn’t see Jennifer Hudson sing “I’ll Fight” from “RBG,” or Tim Blake Nelson reprise  “When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings” from “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.” (Word is Emily Blunt might opt out of performing “The Place Where Lost Things Go” from “Mary Poppins Returns.”)

    Deadline reported: “The reason the Academy walked back that decision was because either Lady Gaga herself, or her reps, made it clear she felt it was completely unfair to eliminate the three songs — almost like the Academy producers were forecasting who they thought would win — and that she wouldn’t perform if a change wasn’t made. And that’s why the Academy tweeted that all the songs will be shown, even if the tunes are truncated.”

    We might be hearing only 90-second versions of the songs, which means that Best Original Song performances will run less than 8 minutes, total.

    And, more scandal, last year’s acting winners — Gary Oldman, Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell, and Allison Janney — have reportedly not yet been asked to present this year’s awards. Instead the Academy is rumored to be seeking “bigger stars” like Tom Hanks or Oprah Winfrey for the honor.

    Let’s hope Sam Rockwell at least is invited as he’s nominated again this year!

    And that all this gets sorted out before Oscar night, which is February 24.

  • What’s New on Digital, DVD/Blu-ray, TV, & Netflix This Week: January 14-20

    What’s New on Digital, DVD/Blu-ray, TV, & Netflix This Week: January 14-20

    Warner Bros.

    At a loss for what to watch this week? From new DVDs and Blu-rays, to what’s streaming on Netflix, we’ve got you covered.

    NEW VIDEO ON DIGITAL, DEMAND, AND STREAMING

    ‘A Star Is Born’ (January 15)

    There’s a reason this movie keeps getting remade. This time, Bradley Cooper makes his directorial debut and stars as the grizzled country rocker Jackson Maine. Stepping into the role of the ingenue who dazzles him and the world with her incredible vocals is Lady Gaga. Their soaring duet of “Shallow” is just the start of an emotional and tear-jerking journey. With its high-profile cast, show biz subject, and excellent filmmaking, “A Star Is Born” catapulted straight into awards season buzz. Available on Digital HD on January 15.

    ‘Suspiria’ (January 15)

    Director Luca Guadagnino (“Call Me By Your Name“) goes from peaches and young love to the horrors surrounding a prestigious Berlin dance company. Dakota Johnson plays an aspiring dancer who enrolls, only to discover the company is run by a coven of witches. The movie is remake of a 1977 cult classic, but Tilda Swinton’s unbelievable performance in multiple roles makes this version completely unique. Available on Digital HD on January 15.

    ‘Boy Erased’ (January 15)

    Lucas Hedges is likely to get his second Oscar nomination in three years in this intense drama about the teen son of Baptists parents who is forced to attend a gay conversion therapy camp. There, he struggles to understand his identity, his faith, and his relationships to his preacher father (Russell Crowe) and protective mother (Nicole Kidman). Available on Digital HD on January 15.

    ‘Hunter Killer’ (January 15)

    Gerald Butler must be exhausted from saving the world all the time. This action thriller from the producers of “Olympus Has Fallen” takes Butler under the Arctic Ocean as the captain of a Navy submarine. When he uncovers a secret Russian coup, he must slip through enemy waters to stop WWIII from becoming a reality. Available on Digital HD on January 15.

    NEW ON DVD AND BLU-RAY

    ‘Halloween’ (January 15)

    Forty years after John Carpenter‘s 1978 horror classic, Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode. Director David Gordon Green ignores all of the other films in the franchise and makes this a direct sequel to the original. Laurie, still haunted by her traumatic experience with Michael Myers, faces the serial killer once again. And this time, she’s ready to fight back.

    The movie arrives on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on January 15 (and is already available on Digital HD).

    ‘Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween’ (January 15)

    The sequel to the family-friendly horror movie brings back all the zany mischief and gentle scares of the original. There isn’t much of a plot, but kids won’t mind that much. The movie arrives on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on January 15 (and is already available on Digital HD).

    ‘The Old Man and the Gun’ (January 15)

    It’s an outrage Robert Redford has never received an acting Oscar, but maybe Academy members will finally recognize his last performance before retirement. He stars in this true story-inspired tale of Forrest Tucker, who escapes prison at the age of 70 and goes on to pull off a series of daring heists, confounding law enforcement and enchanting the public.

    The movie arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on January 15 (and is already available on Digital HD).

    NEW ON NETFLIX

    ‘Carmen Sandiego’ (January 18)

    Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? On Netflix, of course. The globe-trotting international thief and criminal mastermind who first appeared in a series of educational video games in the mid-’80s is the protagonist of her very own Netflix animated series. The reboot explores the origin story of Carmen (voiced by “Jane the Virgin” star Jane Rodriguez), with the trailer providing glimpses of the school where she hones her thieving ways as an agent of V.I.L.E.

    ‘Grace and Frankie’ Season 5 (January 18)

    Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are back as the odd couple best friends. They’re trying to take back their house (from special guest star RuPaul) and getting into all kinds of mischief in the process.

    ‘Marvel’s The Punisher’ Season 2 (January 18)

    There will be blood when the vigilante drama returns. Former marine Frank (Jon Bernthal) finds his quiet life is blown up when he saves Amy (Giorgia Whigham). Embroiled in the mystery around her and the people chasing after her, Castle also finds his former friend, Ben Russo aka Jigsaw (Ben Barnes), has survived their last encounter and is hell-bent on killing him.

    For more, see what else is new on Netflix in January 2019.

    TV WORTH WATCHING

    ‘Roswell, New Mexico’ Series Premiere, The CW (January 15, 9 p.m.)

    This reboot comes from executive producer Julie Plec (“The Vampire Diaries”). The broad outlines are similar to the original series: Liz Ortecho (Jeanine Mason) reconnects with her teen crush, Max Evans (Nathan Parsons), and is shocked to discover he’s an alien.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYNUT_vxA9w

    ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 2, CBS All-Access (January 17)

    In its second season, the show brings back familiar names — the U.S.S. Enterprise, its captain Captain Christopher Pike, and the young science officer Spock (Ethan Peck). The two ships must team together to fight off a new galactic threat.

    ‘Brexit,’ HBO (January 18)

    Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Dominic Cummings, the man who led the Vote Leave campaign resulting in the U.K. voting to exit the European Union. He ruthlessly uses social media to stoke fears about race and immigration. Sound familiar?

  • DGA Film Awards Nominations Cite ‘A Star Is Born,’ ‘Green Book,’ ‘Roma’

    DGA Film Awards Nominations Cite ‘A Star Is Born,’ ‘Green Book,’ ‘Roma’

    Warner Bros.

    After announcing its nominations in the television and documentary categories earlier this week, the Directors Guild of America has now revealed its slate of nominees for its annual film awards — and with it, prognosticators may have a clearer shape of the Oscar race.

    Recent Golden Globe winners “Roma” (Best Director Alfonso Cuaron) and “Green Book” (Best Comedy Film, helmed by Peter Farrelly) were both represented in the DGA’s lineup, as were “A Star Is Born” (Bradley Cooper), “BlacKkKlansman” (Spike Lee), and “Vice” (Adam McKay). Cooper also received a second DGA nomination in the first-time director category, as did newly-minted Writers Guild Awards nominee Bo Burnham (“Eighth Grade”).

    Amazingly enough, this is Lee’s first ever DGA nomination. He seems all but a shoo-in to repeat for an Oscar nomination, too.

    Speaking of the Oscars, the DGA picks typically have lots of overlap with the eventual Academy shortlists of both Best Director and Best Picture. Last year’s DGA champ, “The Shape of Water,” went on to claim both of those Oscar statuettes.

    The full list of nominees is below. The DGA Awards will be handed out on February 2.

    WGA Awards 2019 Film Nominees Include ‘Green Book,’ ‘Black Panther’

    Universal

    Awards season is officially in full swing, and the latest group to announce nominations for its annual awards is the Writers Guild of America.

    The WGA revealed its nominees for the best film screenplays of the year on Monday, in three different categories: Original, adapted, and documentary. There are plenty of names in the WGA’s lineup that should already sound familiar to those that have been following awards season, including “Black Panther,” “A Star Is Born,” “Roma,” and newly-minted Best Comedy Golden Globe winner “Green Book.”

    But the WGA is also known for including some less high-profile nominees each year — titles that are critically beloved, but not entirely on the Best Picture Oscar radar, either. This year’s honorees feature films such as “Eighth Grade,” “Can You Ever Forgive Me?,” and potential-but-not-a-lock-just-yet candidate “A Quiet Place.”

    The full lineup — including nominees in the video game writing category — is below. The Writers Guild Awards winners will be announced at simultaneous ceremonies in New York City and Los Angeles on Sunday, February 17.

  • The Ally Billboard From ‘A Star is Born’ Is a Real Thing Now

    The Ally Billboard From ‘A Star is Born’ Is a Real Thing Now

    Warner Bros.

    Just in time for the Golden Globes (where “A Star is Born” is up for five awards), there’s a real Ally billboard on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles.

    Lady Gaga (aka rising star Ally) stares out from the billboard next to the Chateau Marmont hotel. (In the film, it’s promoting Ally’s debut album. She goes on to win Best New Artist at the Grammys.)

    New York Times’ awards editor Kyle Buchanan spotted the billboard and posted it to Twitter.

    “A Star Is Born” also has four SAG Award nominations and just received a nomination from the Producers Guild of America.

    There’s no mention of “A Star is Born” or Lady Gaga, because… well, who needs it?

    As the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gears up to begin voting on Oscar nominees, the awards body has revealed which features will be vying for statuettes at next year’s ceremony. And if any members happen to be indecisive, they may have a hard time sifting through this huge collection of films.

    The Academy revealed on Tuesday that there are 347 films that are eligible for feature-length Oscars this year, including the coveted Best Picture prize. That shortlist (can we still call it that when it has more than 300 entries? Whatever, we’re sticking with it) is a slight uptick from 2018’s eligible films pool, which contained 341 options.

    Among the films included in this year’s lineup are names that have already been heard plenty of times this awards season, such as “Black Panther,” “The Favourite,” “If Beale Street Could Talk,” “Roma,” “A Star Is Born,” and “Vice.” Then there are the flicks that have no chance at any sort of recognition — but we won’t name any names. (Though you can probably figure them out for yourself.)

    According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Academy has a strict set of parameters that films need to follow in order to qualify for a Best Picture (or editing, or acting, or writing, or what have you) prize. THR writes:

    ” … [A] feature-length motion picture qualifies if it has a running time of more than 40 minutes, is exhibited theatrically on 35mm or 70mm film or in a qualifying digital format, and opens in a commercial motion picture theater in Los Angeles County by Dec. 31 and completes a minimum run of seven consecutive days.”

    The Academy also revealed on Tuesday its shortlists in specific categories, including Best Original Song, Best Documentary Feature, and Best Foreign Film. There’s a bunch of overlap between that list and this newest one, so keep your eyes peeled for films that can break through multiple different format categories. (Obviously, “Roma” is the biggest contender here.)

    Nominees for the the 91st annual Academy Awards will be announced on January 22. The Oscars telecast will take place on Sunday, February 24 on ABC.
