Oscar Horrors: Carrie White Burns In Hell
25 October 2011 11:00 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
In the daily Oscar Horrors series we're looking at those rare Oscar nominations for horror movies. Happy Halloween from Team Film Experience.
Here lies… Sissy Spacek’s Oscar for Best Actress in Carrie (1976). Carrie White may burn in hell (along with her ill-fated off-Broadway musical), but Sissy Spacek’s nomination remains a shining beacon of hope that genre fare from little-known actors don’t have to be relegated to, ahem, the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films Awards.
Can you conceive of it today? A 26-year-old actress, in one of her first major roles, portraying an introverted teenage high schooler with supernatural powers who kills the students at her senior prom. Sounds like fairly standard genre stuff, especially when coming from the minds of an up-and-coming writer (Stephen King was paid $2,500 for the book rights) and director (Brian De Palma). Yet somehow, it became one of the few »

Special Features: Italian Film Festival 2011 Preview
26 February 2011 1:06 AM, PST | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
In keeping with the current turmoil and unrest running amok in the world, Italy finds itself in a very confused state. Partly resigned, partly in denial, Italians have looked on as the recent recession has made worse what was a "not-really-thriving" situation already in terms of occupation, education reforms, and the political landscape in general.
Things have now somehow reached the point of non-return, and while the country's being forced to answer questions of "What exactly is wrong with your Prime Minister" from the whole civilised world, young generations think about their future as a bit of a gamble.
It is therefore both a remarkable and surprising challenge the one the Italian Film Festival is planning to take on when it opens in London on the 1st of March 2011. Remarkable, as the event will provide a rare chance for the UK public to watch new and mostly non mainstream Italian films by talented filmmakers who, »

Your Daily Fix Of Oscar: 1/11/11
10 January 2011 10:34 PM, PST | Scott Feinberg | See recent Scott Feinberg news »
iTunes Movie Trailers: Focus Features finally releases a clip of Julianne Moore’s show-stopping soliloquoy about marriage in “The Kids Are All Right” — and, as a fan of Moore’s, I’m furious. This should have been done months ago when it really could have made a difference, not five days before Oscar nomination ballots are due. At this point, virtually all of the heat for the film has been guided towards Moore’s co-star Annette Bening, and it seems doubtful that Moore’s prospects can be salvaged by anything.
The Facebook Effect: Today, several awards bloggers, including yours truly, received a copy of “The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company That Is Connecting the World,” David Kirkpatrick’s authorized history of Facebook, from a prominent PR firm that is promoting its paperback release on February 1. The timing of this delivery struck some of us as a little strange, »

Rooney Mara and Jesse Eisenberg in The Social Network
Photo: Columbia Pictures Over the last few days The Social Network has racked up a few more awards, this time taking home the top prize from both the National Society of Film Critics (Nsfc) and the Alliance of Women Film Journalists (Awfj).
Network virtually swept the Nsfc awards winning best picture, director (David Fincher), actor (Jesse Eisenberg) and screenplay (Aaron Sorkin). It also won picture, director and screenplay from the Awfj where it also won best score (Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross), but Colin Firth won the actor award for his performance in The King's Speech.
So, The Social Network continues its run, but this weekend is where it will face its first big tests at the Broadcast Film Critics Awards on Friday, January 14 and the Golden Globes on Sunday, January 16. Neither award show will serve to be the end all, »

National Society of Film Critics Winners: 'Social Network' Makes Another Friend
9 January 2011 11:08 AM, PST | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Filed under: Movie News, Awards, Cinematical
'The Social Network' added another critics' prize to its growing list of kudos, winning the National Society of Film Critics award for Best Picture and begging the question, what's more popular: Facebook, or the Facebook movie?
In addition to Best Picture, 'The Social Network' also picked up awards for Best Actor (Jesse Eisenberg), Best Director (David Fincher) and Best Screenplay (Aaron Sorkin).
The rest of the awards were a mix of names both familiar, with Geoffrey Rush winning the Best Supporting Actor prize for 'The King's Speech,' and less well known, with Italian actress Giovanna Mezzogiorno being recognized for her lead role in 'Vincere.' Another surprise came with Olivia Williams's beating out Amy Adams, Melissa Leo and Jacki Weaver for Best Actress for her role in Roman Polanski's 'The Ghost Writer.'

‘The Social Network’ Takes National Society of Film Critics Top Prizes
9 January 2011 8:38 AM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
The National Society of Film Critics, consisting of 61 of the top film critics in the country, released their 2010 awards, and The Social Network took most of the prizes including Best Picture, Best Director (David Fincher), Best Actor (Jesse Eisenberg), and Best Screenplay (Aaron Sorkin) [Roger Ebert's Blog].
The King’s Speech was reasonably well represented also, taking Best Supporting Actor with Geoffrey Rush, while garnering a number of runner-up awards. Elsewhere, True Grit took home Best Cinematography with Roger Deakins, cementing it as one of the only real genuine front-runners for the Oscars.
The documentary award went to Inside Job giving us one of our first looks into a tightly contested awards season race for documentaries. What might be more surprising there was the runner-up: Exit Through the Gift Shop. If Banksy‘s genre bending piece can pick up some momentum, we might be in for a 5-way dog-fight for this category.

National Society of Film Critics Lambastes MPAA Ratings System
8 January 2011 5:02 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Ryan Gosling, Michelle Williams, Blue Valentine National Society of Film Critics Winners In addition to handing out awards to the likes of The Social Network, Carlos, Jesse Eisenberg, Giovanna Mezzogiorno, David Fincher, Roger Deakins, Aaron Sorkin, Olivia Williams, Geoffrey Rush, and Jean-Luc Godard's Film Socialisme, the National Society of Film Critics issued two statements this year. The first statement lambastes the Classification & Ratings Administration of the Motion Picture Association of America for its ludicrous and hypocritical — not to mention undemocratic — censorial stance. The second statement pertains to the punishment meted out to Iranian filmmakers Jafar Panahi and Mohammad Rasoulof, "whose sole crime is telling the truth." (Ironically, as far as the American censorship board is concerned, that's also the "crime" of documentaries such as The Tillman Story and A Film Unfinished.) The Nsfc's anti-censorship statement follows below. The Panahi/Rasoulof statement can be found in the next post. (See »

Filippo Timi, Giovanna Mezzogiorno in Marco Bellocchio's Vincere The Social Network, director David Fincher and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin's retelling of the founding of Facebook, was voted the Best Film of 2010 by the National Society of Film Critics, which consists of 61 film critics from top U.S. media outlets. Forty-six of those voted this year, according to the Los Angeles Times' Susan King. (Strangely, the New York Times doesn't allow its film critics to take part in those awards-giving societies.) [List of National Society of Film Critics winners and runners-up.] In addition to its Best Film win, The Social Network also won in the Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor (Jesse Eisenberg) categories. Apart from Eisenberg, who beat The King's Speech's Colin Firth and Carlos' Edgar Ramirez by one (weighted) vote, the Social Network victories were anything but surprising. On the other hand, Giovanna Mezzogiorno came out of nowhere — at [...] »
