If Christopher Nolan’s brilliant story of the father of the atomic bomb loses, it’ll be the biggest upset since the surprise victory of “Shakespeare in Love” over “Saving Private Ryan” in 1999. It’s won just about every other major award it’s been nominated for, and rightly so. “American Fiction”“Anatomy of a Fall”“Barbie”“The Holdovers”“Killers of the Flower Moon”“Maestro”“Past Lives”“Poor Things”“The Zone of Interest”The Battle of the Stones (Gladstone vs. Emma Stone) has raged all season long.

Mark Ruffalo believes that the odds of getting his own stand-alone film as the Incredible Hulk are slim to none.“I’d love to do a stand-alone Hulk, I just don’t think that’s ever going to happen,” Ruffalo, 56, told GQ for its cover story on Wednesday. “It’s very expensive if you did a whole movie, which is why they use the Hulk so sparingly.“I priced myself out,” the actor jokingly added.

When you think of filmmakers working today in terms of teams, one of the easiest ways to separate them is by their public statements about Marvel films.
