Honorary Oscars awarded to Peter Weir, Euzahn Palcy, Michael J. Fox, and Diane Warren

Very happy with this. Unfortunately, I don’t think it will result in Palcy getting any other offers from Hollywood, as Charles Burnett and Haile Gerima haven’t gotten new projects off the ground since they received their awards.

It’s been over a decade since Peter Weir made a film. The last project he was publicly attached to, Shantaram, was subsequently given to Mira Nair before eventually becoming an Apple+ series.

Shantaram was supposed to be his follow-up to Master and Commander. He left in 2006 and eventually did The Way Back instead. He was also working on adapting William Gibson's Pattern Recognition around the same time. The last project I can find any mention of is an adaptation of Jennifer Egan's The Keep that was announced as a Spring 2013 shoot.

I forgot about Pattern Recognition. I recall that around 1993 that he was adapting Thomas Keneally’s novel The Playmaker, which is about the early days of the Australian penal colony. That could have been terrific in his hands

The new Academy CEO, Bill Kramer, is planning to both have this year's Oscars produced by people with live TV experience and to have all awards presented live

I like this guy already

Good, he was the best- minus stupid elongated skits like bringing the audience from the Ava DuVernay to the Oscars to meet celebs

Now I’m really curious to read their analyses of Nope!

hearthesilence · #13 Post by **hearthesilence** » Thu Dec 01, 2022 7:34 pm

I need to see Pacification again, it didn't quite do it for me or another cinephile I saw it with at the NYFF, but Black Hat thought it was great.

Keep in mind this is still the scab staff of new blood, unless things changed since the new owners took over

Glad to see Dinner in America get some love, and I guess it's time to return to Ozon after the safe and vapid Summer of '85 forced a break- these two sound fun

God bless John Waters. No idea that João Pedro Rodrigues had a new movie out so that's top of the to-watch list now.

I actually think RRR is being highly slept on as a possible Oscar nominee in a few categories. I actually don't think Gold Derby has it in the running for anything, last I checked

Is that just based on reading tea leaves or have you seen it?

#21 Post by **domino harvey** » Fri Dec 02, 2022 9:48 pm

I have not seen it, like most Oscar prognosticating, it's conjecture based on the positive word of mouth and perceived popularity

I truly think that Top Gun is taking home the Oscar for Best Picture. They want a zeitgeist-capturing film to bring in high ratings, and it signified the continued viability of theatrical exhibition in the COVID era

#25 Post by **domino harvey** » Sat Dec 10, 2022 12:28 am

It will get nominated and ultimately win some down line tech awards, that’s it
