Hello everybody, what’s up? You’re listening to I Was Just Wondering With Tom Salmon! The podcast that dives into music, film and games and everything else in between.
My guests on this week’s episode are writer & director Paul Spurrier and producer David Allen Cluck, the creative team behind the three part television series Eullenia (2020) starring Alec Newman and Vithaya Pansringarm. Eullenia tells the story of wealthy businessman Marcus Hammond and his dark obsession to find the perfect deal in Bangkok, Thailand.
We jumped into Paul and David’s experience of how they first met in working in the Thai film industry, how the dark side of successful businessmen like Steve Jobs influenced the characters and story of Eullenia and what’s it like filming at the famous aeroplane graveyard and avoiding Bangkok jail.
You can checkout Eullenia on Amazon Prime right now at www.amazon.co.uk...

And Michel Hazanavicius and his film The Artist take one more step towards total awards dominance. The film has topped critic lists since it premiered at Cannes in May of 2011, and in the past couple weeks has become an awards juggernaut. Last weekend The Artist won the PGA award [1] for best picture of 2011, and last night Hazanavicius took the Director's Guild award for Outstanding Achievement in Feature Film in 2011. Given that it has been almost a decade since someone won the DGA award and didn't take the Best Director Oscar we can safely bet on the outcome of the Academy Awards [2], which are still a month away. (On average, the DGA award and Oscar go to different people once a decade.) For those disappointed that the documentary Project Nim, from Man on Wire director James Marsh, didn't get an Oscar nod, his win for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Documentary might be considered a great consolation.

Earlier today Directors Guild of America President Taylor Hackford announced the five nominees for the DGA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for 2011. It's a solid list of nominations, but I'm surprised that Steven Spielberg isn't on the list for his work on War Horse. I still haven't seen The Artist or The Descendants, but I'm hoping to see those soon.
The directors nominated this year for the Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film Award have each demonstrated an inspired command of the medium. The fact that their prodigious talents have been recognized by their peers is the highest honor a director can achieve," said Hackford. "I offer my most sincere congratulations to each of the nominees.

The Directors Guild of America, one of the biggest precursors for the Academy Awards, have announced their nominations today. They are David Fincher for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Woody Allen for Midnight in Paris, Alexander Payne for The Descendants, Michel Hazanavicius for The Artist and Martin Scorsese for Hugo.
The two biggest snubs would be Terrence Malick for The Tree of Life and Steven Spielberg for War Horse. The latter of the two is more surprising, considering the Academy’s fondness for the blockbuster maker. In better news, Tate Taylor is out of the running for The Help, a film that will likely ride into awards season on its performances and syrupy optimism. Out of the five, I’m surprised Fincher made the cut, considering many perceived Dragon Tattoo to not be an awards contender. Check out more information on the nominees below.
