Oscars 2014: Predicting 10 Best Supporting Actor Nominees
21 May 2013 5:30 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
For me, the Best Supporting Actor category is the most difficult category to predict this far out from the actual nominations. This is not atypical either as this category is annually, almost without fail, the toughest to foresee. The reasons for my particularly foggy clairvoyant skills on this specific matter are two-fold.
First, given the types of movies being made in this day and age, the abundance of choice supporting roles with potentially Oscar-worthy prospects is just ridiculous. They’re as plentiful as water in the ocean, and this plethora of promising performers, while a boon for fans of cinema, is a nightmare for an Oscar protagonist such as myself trying to pull off the illusion that I retain some unique insight into these awards that your regular laymen could never hope to attain.
This year’s crop of potential players makes this job an especially Herculean effort because they include so many recognizable names. »

One of the single greatest opportunities for an actor to break out on the world cinema stage, the Cannes Film Festival, has helped launch countless careers. With the 66th edition kicking off tonight with the European premiere of Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" (starring a breakout actress who made this list...), we run down the 10 actors who could leave Cannes as the next Jean Dujardin. Here are Indiewire's picks for the 10 actors to watch this year. Berenice Bejo, "The Past" We know what you're thinking: Why is she on this list? Academy Award nominated for her graceful turn in "The Artist," Berenice Bejo is a bonafide star in France, but in the black-and-white sensation Academy Award winner Jean Dujardin came out as the true stateside breakout -- that and he got to utter some dialogue at the end of the film, while Bejo did not. Despite a prolific career onscreen in France, »

Agencies Overseas Keep Local Focus
10 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
As showbiz gets increasingly global, U.S. talent reps are establishing more outposts around the world. But a cross-section of key markets shows that the tenpercenters in each country retain their own business style while they cooperate with the American invasion.
French A-listers Embrace U.S. Percenteries
U.S. agencies don’t have offices in France but have signed locals looking for an international career. Michel Hazanavicius and Berenice Bejo are repped by CAA, while Wme signed Jean Dujardin, left, (who is represented by his brother and a lawyer on local projects).
Gaumont Intl. topper Cecile Gaget says talent increasingly hires American representatives and works with lawyers on French dealmaking, since the role of local percenters is often limited to negotiating contracts, unlike Hollywood representatives who develop material and help drum up funding. But, like U.S. counterparts, French agents are limited by a law that bans them from producing their content. »

Mobius | Review

False Positive: Rochant’s Latest a Trashy, Muddled Mess
French director Eric Rochant, no stranger to espionage themed genre exercises upon a quick glance at his filmography (Les Patriotes), delivers a surprisingly inept turkey with his latest film, Mobius, an uber glossy, superficially chic potboiler that’s as tawdry as it is overly complicated. While there’s an undeniable appeal front lining this schlocky endeavor in its pair of attractive European stars, Jean Dujardin and Cecile De France, not even they or the intriguing names peppered throughout the considerable supporting cast manage to appear as anything other than laughable.
Crossing over the sweeping vista of Monaco, we are introduced to Alice (Cecile De France), an international banking executive who specializes in money laundering, which resulted in a scandal that rendered her unable to work in the United States where her ailing father resides. Gregory (Jean Dujardin) and Sandra (Emilie Dequenne) are members of the Fsb, »

19 April 2013 9:00 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
ABC-tv Wants More ‘Moody’ Australia’s ABC-tv has ordered a follow-up to comedy series A Moody Christmas. The first season focused on the dysfunctional Moody family over several different Christmas holidays. According to If.com, the new series will be based around significant moments in the family’s year. Producer Jungleboys, which recently signed with Mosaic, has already fielded offers from the U.S. for a remake. Exec producer Jason Burrows told Deadline late last year that the company was waiting until a second season went into production so as to be in a better bargaining position. The follow-up series shoots later this year. Germany Doles Out Funding To International Pics Germany’s subsidies continue to make it an attractive co-production partner and shooting destination. George Clooney’s The Monuments Men is one of a handful of international films that’s secured state subsidies from Germany this week. The film »

Almodóvar Screen Idol Montiel Dead
9 April 2013 7:03 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Montiel movies: From the blockbuster La Violetera to new versions of Carmen and Camille (Please check out the previous post: "Legendary Spanish Star Dead at 85."] Next in line for the sensual, husky-voice performer was a second tear-jerking hit: Luis César Amadori's La Violetera ("The Violet Peddler," 1958), for which Montiel is supposed to have earned $1 million dollars. In this romantic musical melodrama, she plays Soledad Moreno, a flower seller in the Madrid of the early 1900s, who falls in passionately love with an aristocrat played by Italian star Raf Vallone. As to be expected, class issues arise. Soledad flees for France, where she becomes (surprise!) a singing sensation. What follows includes tears, despair, a deadly iceberg (heard of the Titanic?), psychological and physiological trauma, and, finally, eternal love.

Jerry Seinfeld, Ken Marino, Other Big Names Lead Webby Award Nominees
9 April 2013 11:19 AM, PDT | Tubefilter.com | See recent Tubefilter News news »
The Webby Awards, which celebrates the best Internet properties of the year, has announced the nominees for its 17th annual round of awards. While there are dozens of categories you can explore at your own leisure, the online video nominations are dominated by big names, with Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee and Ken Marino's Burning Love both earning nods in multiple categories. Seinfeld and Marino are two of the five nominees for Best Individual Performance. Two Academy Award winners--Jean Dujardin and Charlize Theron--are each nominated for their respective roles in Funny or Die videos. Rounding out the nominees is the upstart Lena Dunham, who earned a nod not for her web series work but for her appearance in an Obama For America campaign. Seinfeld and Marino were joined by two more established stars, Neil Patrick Harris and Conan O'Brien, in the Best Comedy Series category. »

In the Works: Jason Clarke and Omar Sy Set to Star in 'Syriana' Writer/Director Stephen Gaghan's 'Candy Store'
4 April 2013 5:48 PM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Good Universe and Lionsgate announced today that actors Jason Clarke and Omar Sy are set to star in the new film by Oscar-winning writer/director Stephen Gaghan, "Candy Store." Both actors have been cast on the heels of a successful 2012. Clarke recently starred opposite Jessica Chastain in Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty," and will appear next month in Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby." French co-star Sy starred last year in the official French Oscar submission "The Intouchables," and beat eventual Oscar-winner Jean Dujardin for the best actor Cesar. Gaghan nabbed a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar in 2001 for Steven Soderbergh's ensemble drama "Traffic," and was nominated again in 2006 for his original screenplay of "Syriana," a film Gaghan also directed. Like those films, "Candy Store" interweaves disparate storylines amid a criminal milieu. Clarke will play a covert operative up against a king pimp (Sy) in Brooklyn. Gaghan will direct »

I mentioned in Sunday's What I Watched article and then again on Tuesday's podcast I'm currently reading Jordan Belfort's "The Wolf of Wall Street" in advance of the upcoming adaptation by Martin Scorsese starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
