#Oscars Class of 2017

Always talk about the American schools tradition of the annual class group photo for the school yearbook and me having my own collection from my high-school years; those are good memories from a time when you were no child anymore but were not an adult yet.  Alright that's not what happens at the Academy annual Nominees Luncheon but as the world goes more and more backwards, it gives me permission to go back to the good old innocent times.  Sigh.

So, going back to reality, yesterday the Academy had their annual luncheon and below is the infamous photo in the highest resolution I was able to find, so you can zoom photo without getting too-many pixels.

Unlike last year, photo seems to have a lot more people as there are quite a few foreigners even when next Sunday BAFTA has their award ceremony and many you see here, will show at BAFTA's red carpet on Sunday.  Nevertheless, this year, according to industry press, there were 163 nominees attending the lunch (seems they were expecting 165, so not bad, isn't) held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.



Here are some of the many photos available in the net.

First, we have what many are calling "The Help" reunion with Octavia Spencer, Emma Stone and Viola Davis.  I see one sure Oscar win and another, maybe.


Hollywood looks a lot better when Isabelle Huppert is all over the events (!!!)


Natalie Portman was sitting down, good for her as calling all nominees has a very long time standing and yes, she's still pregnant (!) making me wonder if she will make it to the Oscars... Matt Damon is also in photo as he's nominated as Manchester by the Sea producer.


Last here is a video from AP with a the moment the class photo was taken, enjoy!



Check Isabelle Huppert moment ... starts at 0:44

70th Festival de Cannes Award Winners

Suddenly, Cannes is over. Once Again. Feel kind of sad.  Very glad there are great movies in this year edition that hope to see sooner than later. Regret that jury didn't wanted to make history, didn't wanted to be remembered forever, didn't wanted to give for the very first time EVER the Palme d'Or to a two-time-winner director and make him the ONLY three-time winner. Sigh. Instead they opted for a Swedish film in English by a great Swedish director debut in not-his-mother-tongue film.  The good news is that film could be good as not many directors have succeed when they do films in other languages; so, good for him (!) and also, for us -the audience. Still, these days have been fun and now will have to adjust to calm, which is not what Ruben Östlund is having today and will have for a while -just check photo.  Then there is a record for Coppola as she's the first woman to ever win a screenwriting Oscar and the second woman to win in Cannes directing prize. But u...

2017 MUAHS Annual Awards Winners

Last night was a busy night in Hollywood as there were three awards ceremony to attend; but, perhaps one of the most colorful has to be from the Make-up and Hair guild that gave awards to some unexpected winners while snubbing my favorites (lol). Most interesting is the Make Up top award winner as went to a film with no Oscar nomination and great make-up in one of the "movies"; see, I believe there were 2 "movies" in Nocturnal Animals , one very unpleasant to watch and another very pleasant with absolutely great esthetics -the later has fantastic make-up. On the other hand, Best Period and/or Character Make-up went to a film with an Oscar nomination, Suicide Squad , a film with obvious fantastic make-up but this win could mean an Oscar win?  Don't know as guild has not many members that vote in the Academy, at least when we compare it against the largest actor, director or writers guild.  Then perhaps another MUAHS award winner, Star Trek Beyond , could have bet...

89th Academy Awards Foreign Language Film Submissions

Today, October 11th the Academy published the list of films in competition for the 2017 Foreign Language film Oscar which honors films released in their respective countries during the 2016 period. There are quite a few changes. For starters there are 85 and not 86 submissions, then Afghanistan, Armenia and Tunisia are out; last, have to add Cambodia and Yemen.  Japan's entry seems to be the same but has a different name in English: Nagasaki: Memories of My Son by Yoji Yamada and Malaysia's English name is different to Redha. Most important is to highlight that this edition will be the 60th Anniversary of the Foreign Language Film Category as was introduced in 1956 for the 29th Academy Awards. To celebrate the anniversary the Academy created a site with all the category winners which is here and the most amazing collection with 60 videos with the acceptance speeches from the winners which is here . The 85 submissions is a NEW record! Will do another post with my comments a...
