ASC Awards: 36th Annual Winners

The 36th Annual ASC Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography took place during a hybrid event at the ASC Clubhouse. The event was both in person at the ASC Clubhouse in Hollywood and live-streamed online. It wasn’t without technical difficulties as the live-stream went down at times. One thing is clear from tonight’s results: we’ve got ourselves an Oscars race. While Netflix would like Ari Wegner to become the first female to win Best Cinematographer,…

Rachel Zegler Isn’t Attending the Oscars

Rachel Zegler is not currently attending the Oscars but there is still time for the Academy, Disney, and ABC to rectify the situation. Zegler posted in Instagram comments that she was not invited to attend. This is a problem because she’s a breakout star in Steven Spielberg’s Best Picture nominee, West Side Story. The limited seating because of social distancing is one part of the problem. Because of the distancing, there’s a good 800 or…

2022 Producers Guild Awards Gives CODA A Boost

The 2022 Producers Guild Awards gives CODA a boost as the film just might very well become the little film that could. The winners were announced at the annual award show on Saturday, March 19th at the Fairmont Century Plaza. Much like the Oscars, the PGA uses a preferential ballot.

Sony Pictures Studio Tour – The Recap

The Sony Pictures Studio Tour is one of a few studio tours that movie and television audiences can take while visiting Los Angeles. During my trip to Los Angeles for the Critics Choice Awards in 2020, I had the chance to hit up a few studio tours. Unfortunately, I could not fit in either Sony or Paramount. Last year, neither was an option because of the pandemic. Paramount is also not open yet so this…

Windfall: A Hitchcockian Thriller

Windfall is a solid Hitchcockian thriller that makes the best use of both location and a minimal cast during the pandemic. The least you know about Windfall, the better it is. What I can tell you is that the focus is on a CEO (Jesse Plemons), his wife (Lily Collins), and a robber that we only know as Nobody (Jason Segel). The couple is arriving to their vacation home while this guy is in the…

Cheaper by the Dozen: Remake Wins Us Over

Cheaper by the Dozen isn’t the first remake of this particular title but the film finds a way to win audiences over with its heart. If you’ve seen the previous films, you get the gist of it: a blended family of 12 and all the headaches, heartache, and, of course, the humor that comes with it. It really is a contemporary take because they include the exes in the film. Kate (Erika Christensen) is more…
