Michael Schneider Variety Editor at LargeGuillermo del Toro and Jane Campion have strong thoughts about filmmaking — both in execution and exhibition — in this modern streaming age. And lucky for us, they’re not afraid to share those opinions.

Tim Gray Senior Vice PresidentTim Cook chatted with Ted Sarandos, Meryl Streep huddled with Jane Campion, Morgan Freeman (age 85) was deep in conversation with “King Richard’s” Saniyya Sidney and Demi Singleton (each 15), while “Squid Game” director Hwang Dong-hyuk fulfilled his personal goal of meeting both Guillermo del Toro and Steven Spielberg. Meanwhile, Rita Moreno was warmly greeted by the “CODA” team, including director Sian Heder and stars Marlee Matlin and Troy Kotsur.The event was the 22nd annual AFI Awards in an afternoon that is “all about one community of artists,” as AFI prexy-CEO Bob Gazzale said.AFI announced its honorees on Dec.

Benedict Cumberbatch is a master of impressions.

The star of “The Power of the Dog” isn’t sweating the criticism.

Vanity Fair profile published Monday where she discussed her past trauma.She revealed that when she won her coveted golden trophy, she was pregnant again with her daughter Alice, now 27.“I just couldn’t do anything; I was stunned by the grief experience, and I just couldn’t work,” she said about the loss of her baby boy.“It’s the most humanizing experience I’ve had,” Campion added. “You feel solidarity with everybody else that’s expressing grief.

this is the year.”But between COVID and Ukraine and a recent plan to change the Oscar show, this was also a year to question celebration, and there was some of that going on as the nominees gathered. The specter of the pandemic hung over the event, both in the fact that everyone was required to not only show proof of vaccination but also to have tested negative in a PCR test either Saturday or Sunday.

The nominations are in, there have been snubs and surprises galore, and dozens of column inches have already been dedicated to who might take home an Academy Award. But who is going to win on March 27? And who will end up empty-handed? Below, we've brought together industry whispers, bookmakers' odds, and our own honest-to-goodness opinions to present our Oscars 2022 predictions. Think of it as your cheat sheet for the big day.

Defending his art. Benedict Cumberbatch is taking ownership over his work in The Power of the Dog after Sam Elliott criticized the film’s “allusions of homosexuality.”

2022 Oscars was officially released last week. And while the scope of awards season has changed pretty dramatically over the last few years, the talent and unique storytelling present in this year's pack of nominees is perhaps more impressive now than ever before. Leading the way for Oscar favorites is Netflix's which racked up12 total nominations including those in major categories like Best Picture, Best Director for Jane Campion, Best Actor for Benedict Cumberbatch, and supporting acting nods for Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons and Kodi Smit-McPhee.

Sam Elliot is none too pleased with the recognition "The Power of the Dog" is receiving ahead of the Oscars. The actor slammed the film, which is nominated for 12 Academy Awards. During an episode of "WTF With Marc Maron," Elliot, 77, was asked if he had seen the film yet, to which Elliot replied: "You want to talk about that piece of s---?" Elliot referenced a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times that featured a review blurb that described the film as "an evisceration of the American myth." "I thought, what the f---?" Elliott said of the adaptation from the 1967 novel by Thomas Savage.

Entertainment Weekly reported.“You want to talk about that piece of s – – t?” the 77-year-old “Tombstone” star sputtered when asked for his thoughts about the provocative Netflix movie, which is a contender for the Best Picture and Best Director Academy Awards. For the uninitiated, the much-praised “The Power of the Dog” stars Benedict Cumberbatch as a closeted gay rancher in 1925 Montana who’s abusive toward his new sister-in-law and her son. Nonetheless, Elliott took umbrage with the film’s characters, who he analogized to Chippendales dancers “who wear bowties and not much else.”“That’s what all these f – – king cowboys in that movie looked like,” the Oscar nominee ranted.

Not a fan. The Power of the Dog may be a critically acclaimed film — and nominated for 12 Academy Awards — but Sam Elliott has major issues with how the cowboys are portrayed.

The Power Of The Dog, branding it a “piece of shit”.The actor, known for roles in numerous westerns and recently 2018’s A Star Is Born, appeared on Marc Maron’s podcast WTF With Marc Maron (February 28) when conversation turned to some of 2021’s film releases.Asked his thoughts on The Power Of The Dog, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Elliott said: “Yeah, you want to talk about that piece of shit?”Elliott’s negative reaction was further spurred by an article in the LA Times which “talked about the evisceration of the American myth” in relation to the film. “And I thought: ‘What the fuck’,” Elliott said.He went onto compare the film’s characters to Chippendales dancers who “wear bowties and not much else”.“That’s what all these fucking cowboys in that movie looked like,” Elliott said. “They’re all running around in chaps and no shirts.

Sam Elliott is not a fan of the Academy Award-nominated The Power of the Dog.

It was another big night for CODA for the second evening in a row!

Sasha Urban editorThe Hollywood Critics Association held its fifth annual awards on Monday in-person at the Avalon Hollywood in Los Angeles, Calif.Siân Heder’s “CODA,” which won for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture at the SAG Awards Sunday, took the top award for best picture, with Heder winning for adapted screenplay and Troy Kotsur winning for supporting actor. The HCA also honored the cast of the film with a spotlight award, while the best cast ensemble award went to the cast of Kenneth Branagh’s “Belfast.”“Dune” led the evening with four awards, including the best director tie between Denis Villeneuve and “Power of the Dog” helmer Jane Campion.

2022 SAG Awards Sunday night. That’s not good — because actors make up the biggest voting bloc at the upcoming Academy Awards. As Scooby Doo would say, “Ruh roh!”Netflix, the producer of director Jane Campion’s drama, started getting nervous when the favored Best Supporting Actor contender Kodi Smit-McPhee lost to the wonderful Troy Kotsur for “CODA” early in the evening. Moments later, Kirsten Dunst was brought to heel for Best Supporting Actress by Ariana DeBose for her ferocious turn as Anita in “West Side Story.” The final yell of “bad dog!” came when Benedict Cumberbatch surrendered Best Actor to Will Smith (“King Richard”), who will now surely go on to win the same award at the Oscars, after nabbing the SAG and the Golden Globe. “Power of the Dog” didn’t even manage a nomination for Best Ensemble. That slight doesn’t necessarily mean it’s out of the Best Picture Oscar race completely — “Nomadland,” “Green Book” and “Shape of Water” also didn’t nab nods for the biggest SAG prize — but winning zero acting awards will have rabid Netflix execs growling Monday morning.That big ensemble win instead went to “CODA,” the heartwarming dramedy that premiered at Sundance about a hearing woman who grows up in a deaf family.

Sharareh Drury administratorThe top prizes at the 2022 USC Scripter Awards went to screenwriter Maggie Gyllenhaal and novelist Elena Ferrante for Netflix’s “The Lost Daughter” and scripter Danny Strong and author Beth Macy for Netflix’s “Dopesick” during Saturday’s virtual ceremony.As in past years, the awards go to both the scriptwriters and the writers of the original source material.“The Lost Daughter” is based on Ferrante’s 2006 novel. Gyllenhaal happily toasted the win with a glass of champagne, noting that this award “means so much to me particularly because it is chosen and voted for by writers.” The director and writer of the Oscar-nominated film described Ferrante as her “north star” for the project, adding that the author has been “a truly wise and generous guide.” The “Dopesick” duo won for the episode “The People vs.
