94th Academy Awards, calling it a blessing!The 53-year-old actor spoke with ET's Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner and likened his arrival at the ceremony like seeing a strenuous post-grad career finally pay off, at five times the rate. «It feels like — you know — I feel like I'm receiving five honorary PHDs tonight,» said Kotsur through an interpreter. «Like, I'm a doctor now if you know what I mean.

The National Board of Review and the New York Film Critics Circle have had their say. Now, the American Film Institute’s jury of industry professionals and media members (who decides this group is always quizzical) has made their top 10 selections for 2021 for both film and television.

The current lowdown on the Adapted Screenplay category will sound very familiar to a number of other races this awards season. There are just one or two likely locks for a nomination (in this case, Jane Campion‘s adaptation of Thomas Savage‘s novel, “The Power of the Dog”) and a slew of other films arguably in the mix.

For the first time in recent memory, the Sundance Film Festival recruited just three members each for its competition juries. Even in the context of a virtual festival, that might have been a mistake after one film dominated the Dramatic category winning four awards.

Writer-director Siân Heder, whose unconventional family drama “Tallulah” premiered at the 2016 edition of Sundance, is excited to be back at the festival, even if the conditions are somewhat different this year with the event taking place virtually due to the ongoing pandemic. “Sundance sent us a package yesterday,” Heder says over a Zoom conversation before the opening night premiere of her film “CODA.” “[It] had a down coat, my festival badge, and a hat for Sundance.

In this virtual era, it goes without saying that much of the communal aspect of a film festival has evaporated. Strangers don’t compare notes waiting inline or with their neighbor before a film begins.

“Do we actually need another recording of the Goldberg Variations?” The question, at once impudently cheeky and playfully taunting, is posed in “Coda” by the long-time manager and friend of a world-famous classical pianist during an intimate outdoor lunch with, among others, his bemused client.
