Popular Indian television soap star Helly Shah is debuting in cinema with feature film “Kaya Palat” and short “Zibah.”
Inspired by the true story of rival mafias, “Kaya Palat” is a dark thriller set in Jammu, which is part of the politically volatile state Jammu and Kashmir. Principal photography has commenced on the outskirts of Jammu. The film is directed by Shoaib Nikash Shah (“Antenna”) and also stars Rahat Kazmi, Tariq Khan, Swaroopa Ghosh, Mir Sarwar and Rohil Bhatia.
“ ‘Kaya Palat’ is a story-driven film that gave me a new challenge I was looking for and [it] demands a strong performance,” Shah told Variety. “The story is very much aimed at the international market, and we are hoping it connects with a cross-cultural audience. My character is going to be very interesting, sarcastic, witty, vulnerable and so much more.”

Kingsley Ben-Adir is being campaigned as a leading man at the Oscars for his role as civil rights leader Malcolm X in the drama “One Night in Miami.” If he’s nominated, he wouldn’t be the first to contend for Best Actor for this role. Denzel Washington‘s first Oscar nom as a leading man came for his starring role in Spike Lee‘s 1992 biopic “Malcolm X.” But Washington didn’t win that contest. Can Ben-Adir win where Washington couldn’t?
See‘One Night in Miami’ Oscar categories: Kingsley Ben-Adir, Eli Goree in lead; Aldis Hodge, Leslie Odom, Jr. in supporting
The 1992 Best Actor contest was memorable in that it pitted Washington’s critically hailed performance (he won prizes ranging from the New York Film Critics Circle to the MTV Movie Award) against the long-overdue Al Pacino for “Scent of a Woman.” Pacino had never won despite seven previous nominations,...

Best Supporting Actress looks pretty open at the 2021 Oscars, and it has undergone a major shift in recent weeks. A battle is underway between Amanda Seyfried (“Mank”) and Olivia Colman (“The Father”) in our Experts’ predictions as of this writing.
See‘Mank’ : Who are the true life people in David Fincher’s Netflix film about ‘Citizen Kane’?
A few weeks ago it looked like Glenn Close would finally win her first Oscar for her transformative role as a flinty grandma in “Hillbilly Elegy,” but mixed reviews for that film have called that into question (though several of our Experts are still backing her for the win). Since she isn’t as safe a bet as she was before, the door opened for other challengers.
There are currently 10 Experts predicting a win for Seyfried: Clayton Davis (Variety), Shawn Edwards (Wdaf-tv Fox), Tim Gray (Variety), Matthew Jacobs (Huffington Post), Tariq Khan...

Renee Zellweger has won Golden Globe, Critics’ Choice and SAG Awards for playing Judy Garland in the biopic “Judy,” so it’s no surprise that she’s the BAFTAs front-runner too with 31/10 odds. But is she a lock? Not according to a couple of our Experts.
As of this writing 14 out of the 16 Expert journalists we’ve surveyed from top media outlets thus far say Zellweger will continue her awards season sweep: Thelma Adams (Gold Derby), Edward Douglas (Weekend Warrior), Joyce Eng (Gold Derby), Tariq Khan (Fox TV), Susan King (Gold Derby), Jack Mathews (Gold Derby), Wilson Morales (BlackFilm), Perri Nemiroff (Collider), Tom O’Neil (Gold Derby), Keith Simanton (IMDb), Anne Thompson (IndieWire), Peter Travers (Rolling Stone), Brian Truitt (USA Today) and Susan Wloszczyna (Gold Derby).

“Joker” received 11 Oscar nominations this year, more than any other film. But how many of those near-dozen bids will it actually win on Sunday, February 9? According to our Experts from major media outlets, the anti-superhero blockbuster is predicted to take home two trophies: Best Actor for Joaquin Phoenix and Best Score for Hildur Guonadottir. Don’t tell the Joker, but that means, conversely, his movie is poised to lose nine Oscars. The higher you climb, the harder you fall?

Jennifer Lopez didn’t get the Oscar nom most of us thought she would get for her role in “Hustlers,” but that doesn’t mean her awards season is over. She’s nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for her supporting role as a stripper who bilks wealthy Wall Street types after the 2008 financial crisis. And we think she’s going to win.
SEEIndependent Spirit Awards odds: Who will win?
The Independent Spirit Awards honor the best in low-budget filmmaking and they usually include a mix of under-the-radar fare and high-profile Oscar contenders. This year, though, there is only one Oscar-nominated actor in contention in any category: Best Actress nominee Renee Zellweger (“Judy”). That means Best Supporting Actress contender Lopez doesn’t have to worry about Laura Dern (“Marriage Story”), who overtook her at the Golden Globe, Critics’ Choice and SAG Awards.

Renee Zellweger (“Judy”) is the overwhelming front-runner to win the Oscar for her leading role as iconic Hollywood star Judy Garland. However, two of Gold Derby’s gutsy Experts — Eric Deggans (NPR) and Brian Truitt (USA Today) — predict “Judy” will win both of the Oscars for which it’s nominated: Best Actress and Best Makeup & Hairstyling. Based on our Experts’ racetrack odds, that would give “Judy” one of the biggest Oscar hauls of the year, with more trophies than Best Picture nominees “Parasite,” “The Irishman,” “Ford v Ferrari,” “Jojo Rabbit” and “Marriage Story.”

On Saturday, December 7, Cynthia Erivo (“Harriet”) was an Oscar underdog in the Best Actress race with 25/1 odds. But then the Critics’ Choice Award nominations were announced on December 8, followed by the Golden Globe nominations on December 9 and the SAG Award nominations on December 11. She was nominated for all three. Since then she has already improved to 12/1 odds, though she’s still on the bubble. Is it time to stop underestimating her? She could finish her Egot grand slam in record time.
Erivo had a career breakthrough with her lead performance in the Broadway revival of “The Color Purple,” which won her the Tony for Best Actress in a Musical in 2016. A few months later she won a Grammy for the cast recording. And a few months after that she won a Daytime Emmy for performing with the “Color Purple” cast on “Today.” So all she needs is an Oscar to win Egot,...

Love him or hate him, Quentin Tarantino is perhaps the most well-known movie director of our time to never win an Oscar for Best Director. Don’t believe me? Do a quick Google search for “best film directors in history” and you’ll see Tarantino’s name pop up alongside bigwigs like Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola. Of these four auteurs, Tarantino is the only one still patiently waiting for his directing trophy. Sure, he won two screenplay Oscars for writing “Pulp Fiction” (1994) and “Django Unchained” (2012), but the one he really wants has eluded him all these years. Might Tarantino finally win Best Director for Sony’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”?

Will Martin Scorsese join the two-timers club and claim a second Oscar for directing his crowning achievement of a crime epic “The Irishman”? According to Gold Derby’s savvy team of prediction Experts, the 76-year-old legend, who already has one statuette for helming 2006’s “The Departed,” has jumped ahead this week in the odds. Previously, as October came to a close, Hollywood’s mob-movie kingpin was slightly ahead of Quentin Tarantino (“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”) — 18/5 vs. 19/5 odds.
But that has all changed this week as Scorsese is rising at 71/20 while Tarantino slipping with 4/1 odds. However, Marty fans might want to keep an eye on South Korean director Bong Joon Ho, who is currently in third place with 9/2 odds. His darkly comical home-invasion thriller “Parasite” won the Palme d’Or — the first Korean film to do so — at this year’s Cannes film festival. The basics: Members of a...

After attracting eyeballs for her Cannes debut, TV star Hina Khan launched the poster of her first film "Lines", which is set in the backdrop of the Kargil War, at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival.
The poster launch took place at the festival's India Pavilion on Friday after which Hina, dressed in a chic green outfit, gave a talk along with the "Lines" team on stage.
The poster that has Hina's face with maps of India and Pakistan in the background, gives away the theme of the film.
"Lines" depicts the story of a strong young woman portrayed by Hina living on the country's border (LoC) with special emphasis on her struggle and problems of daily life.
"Emotions don't change because of the borders in between, the life and plight of Nazia is a simple portrayal of any girl who faces the magnitude of ordinary challenges in a not so ordinary story.

With his win at the SAG Awards, Rami Malek picked up enough support from our experts to move past Christian Bale on our Best Actor chart. Malek now has the votes of eight experts while Bale has the backing of six. One-time frontrunner Bradley Cooper (“A Star is Born”) is hanging onto the support of two of our Oscarologists.
So far this awards season, Bale has collected a Golden Globe and two Critics’ Choice Awards for his performance as Dick Cheney in “Vice.” Malek also won with the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., picking up the prize on the drama side in a shocking upset over Cooper. Indeed, Cooper has yet to win any hardware for his performance as a star in decline.
Bale and Malek both portray real-life people, which has proven to be a winning formula for 11 of the leading men who’ve taken home the Best Actor Oscar this century.

“Black Panther” is locked in close Oscars combat for Best Production Design against “The Favourite,” but “Panther” has already made history just by earning the bid. Hannah Beachler is the first black nominee in the history of the category, and just like that she could become the first black winner when prizes are handed out on February 24.
According to our racetrack odds, Beachler’s closest competition is another first-time nominee: Fiona Crombie for “The Favourite,” which is the kind of lavish period film that often prevails here, like recent winners “Lincoln” (2012), “The Great Gatsby” (2013) and “The Grand Budapest Hotel” (2014). Indeed, Crombie is the front-runner to win based on the combined forecasts of all Gold Derby users.

One of the biggest surprises in craft categories when Oscar nominations were announced was the absence of “First Man” from the race for Best Film Editing. We even thought it was one of the top contenders to win, especially since astronaut epics have won in the past. But “First Man” still has a chance for awards redemption. It’s nominated for Best Drama Editing at the upcoming Ace Eddie Awards, which will be presented by the American Cinema Editors guild on Saturday, February 2.
Like Damien Chazelle‘s previous films “Whiplash” (2014) and “La La Land” (2016), “First Man” was cut by Tom Cross (watch our recent interview with him here). He earned Oscar nominations for both of those previous films, winning for “Whiplash.” But he has been twice as popular at the Eddies, where he has now contended four times: in addition to “Whiplash,” “La La Land” (for which he won) and “First Man,...

In the wake of the 2019 Academy Awards nominations announcement on Jan. 22, our Oscar experts from major media outlets have started to make their Best Picture predictions. Alfonso Cuaron‘s memoir “Roma,” which reaped a leading 10 nominations, has the early lead with 14 of our 16 pundits predicting it to win on February 24. Spike Lee’s “BlacKkKlansman” has the backing of just two experts. None of the other six nominees is predicted to prevail in the top race at the 91st Academy Awards.
That support for “Roma” gives it odds of 39/10 to take home the Best Picture award while “BlacKkKlansman” has odds of 6/1 to pull off an upset. (See the individual rankings by experts and the resulting odds.) And see how our experts rank Oscar contenders in the other 23 races according to the likelihood of winning in the key races.

The Oscar nominations were announced on January 22, and in only a day literally thousands of Gold Derby users have chimed in with their predictions. That includes the Expert journalists we’ve polled from top media outlets, and their early consensus is that “Roma” will make history by winning Best Picture … unless it’s “BlacKkKlansman.”
As of this writing, 11 Experts are betting on a win for “Roma”: Thelma Adams (Gold Derby), Edward Douglas (Weekend Warrior), Matthew Jacobs (Huffington Post), Tariq Khan (Fox TV), Michael Musto (NewNowNext), Tom O’Neil (Gold Derby), Kevin Polowy (Yahoo), Claudia Puig (Kpcc), Christopher Rosen (TVGuide.com), Anne Thompson (IndieWire) and Susan Wloszczyna (Gold Derby).

Hey Rami,
Apologies that I have to use Gold Derby in order to get this message to you. I don’t have your email address and we’re not friends on Facebook.
I know that you’re peeking at your odds here, just like most of this year’s film contenders are. So I know that you’ll read this. (Lady Gaga – you can move on now. This doesn’t concern you.)
First of all, congratulations on your victory at the Golden Globes. You delivered the most eloquent and gracious speech.
Second, sorry about the loss at the Critics’ Choice Awards. Even though I predicted you to win, I’m not surprised that you didn’t. Those cranky critics just can’t handle the fact that “Bohemian Rhapsody” has turned into an international phenomenon, in spite of their assessment that the film is just so-so. Rewarding you would have meant admitting that they were wrong,...

Pawel Pawlikowski already made history for Poland by winning the nation its first Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for “Ida” (2014). Could he make history again this year by becoming only the third Polish filmmaker to be nominated for Best Director — and the first for a Polish-language film? He’s a dark horse contender for “Cold War,” a period romance about star-crossed lovers that was inspired by Pawlikowski’s own parents.
The best known Polish director to make the cut at the Oscars was Roman Polanski, who was nominated three times, for “Chinatown” (1974), “Tess” (1980) and “The Pianist” (2002), all of them in the English language. He ended up winning the Oscar for “The Pianist,” but his artistic legacy has been marred by his personal legacy. He pleaded guilty to statutory rape in 1977, and he has been living abroad as a fugitive since 1978.

With the Critics’ Choice Awards just hours away on Sunday January 13, our 30 Oscar experts from major media outlets are hoping to get guidance from these key precursor prizes as to what will win Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Their votes remain split between four films, with two of these far out front of the other two.
Since being all but shut out of the Golden Globes, “A Star is Born” has seen its lead over “Roma” in the Best Picture race at the Oscars shrink. It now leads our experts tally by a vote of 16 to 10. Three of our experts are holding out hope for “Green Book,” which won Best Comedy/Musical at the Globes while one is backing “BlacKkKlansman.” [See the most up-to-date Best Picture rankings by our 30 Experts.]
Although “A Star is Born” enjoys a clear majority of first-place votes from the experts, it is not that far ahead of “Roma” and “Green Book” on our Best Picture odds chart.

It’ll be a battle between two former “American Hustle” co-stars for Best Actor at Sunday’s Critics’ Choice Awards. Christian Bale (“Vice”) and Bradley Cooper (“A Star Is Born”) both have 13/2 odds to prevail in our predictions.
Bale is slightly ahead in the tight race due to his placements, and he jumped into first place the past few days on the heels of his Golden Globe victory for Best Comedy/Musical Actor, during which he thanked Satan in his speech for the inspiration to play Dick Cheney. Cooper had been in first place since nominations were announced, but he took a blow after “A Star Is Born” underwhelmed at the Globes and he himself went 0-3. Cooper has three other nominations at Critics’ Choice, Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay.
See Who gave the best Golden Globes speech? Glenn Close, Christian Bale, Sandra Oh…

The most special effects, the most music, the most editing, the most sound, the most costumes and especially the most makeup and hair. That is how something like 2016’s unloved “Suicide Squad” came to earn a statuette for that last category.
But voting members of the Critics’ Choice Awards — myself being one — aren’t the academy, and perhaps we have more refined tastes when it comes to putty noses, fake scars and towering wigs. All I know is that I gasped when I first caught a glimpse of a chubby Christian Bale with sparse white hair and pot belly as Dick Cheney when “Vice’s” first trailer premiered last fall. I also laughed at how Sam Rockwell nailed it with his Dubya nose.

While Disney and Pixar ‘toons have claimed six out of the past eight wins for Best Animated Feature, Sony’s visually innovative “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” has the best odds to swing its way to a Critics’ Choice award on Sunday night. The Marvel superhero adventure has 9/2 odds in our predictions.
All Eight Experts participating — Joyce Eng (Gold Derby), Susan King (Gold Derby), Tariq Khan (Fox TV), Edward Douglas (Weekend Warrior), Anne Thompson (Indiewire), Adnan Virk (ESPN), Peter Travers (Rolling Stone) and myself — and six Editors and 16 Top 24 Users are backing “Spider-Verse,” which already has a Golden Globe.

Pixar’s clan of caped crusaders in ‘Incredibles 2’ comes in second among six contenders with 5/1 odds. Its backers includes an outlier Editor, Marcus James Dixon, one Top 24 User, dos458, and seven Top 24 Users.

“Roma,” Alfonso Cuaron‘s visual love song to his childhood caretaker while growing up in ’70s Mexico City, could make history if it becomes the first Critics’ Choice winner in 24 years to claim trophies for Best Foreign Film as well as Best Picture. That’s based on the overwhelming odds for its success in those categories.
While the black-and-white Netflix release couldn’t compete for best drama picture at the Golden Globes since the pool is limited to films in English, it did pick up a gold knick-knack in the foreign-language category and for best director. Right now, before voting begins on Thursday, “Roma” is the clear front-runner among its non-English competition with 39/10 odds. The only rival that comes close is “Cold War,” Poland’s official entry at the Oscars, about a music director and a singer who engage in a torrid affair that starts after World War II and carries on through the years.

Rami Malek just won a Golden Globe for his performance as Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in “Bohemian Rhapsody.” That wasn’t a surprise — our odds were predicting it. But the film’s subsequent victory for Best Film Drama was arguably the biggest upset of the night. The film has been exceeding our expectations throughout the awards season, and with this latest windfall I’m starting to wonder if Malek is on his way not just to an Oscar nomination, but to a win. He’s following a trajectory similar to Sandra Bullock‘s when she won Best Actress for “The Blind Side” (2009).
Like “The Blind Side,” “Bohemian Rhapsody” tells a true story. Oscars love that. But neither film got a lot of love from critics. “The Blind Side” scored 53 on MetaCritic and 66% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes. Those numbers are comparable to “Rhapsody,” which has 49 on Mc and 62% on Rt — a decidedly mixed reception,...

For most of the season “Incredibles 2” has been the front-runner to win the Best Animated Feature Oscar in our racetrack odds, and it still is overall, but our Experts have had a change of heart. Most of them now think that “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” will swing right past it on Oscar night.

One way or another, Lady Gaga is leaving the Golden Globes with a trophy. She’s the front-runner for Best Film Drama Actress for her role as a singer on the rise in “A Star is Born.” There’s a chance she’ll be upset by Glenn Close (“The Wife”), but even if that’s the case, there may be no stopping her in the race for Best Song. According to the combined predictions of thousands of Gold Derby users, she may be the biggest lock of the night.
Lady Gaga co-wrote the song “Shallow” with Mark Ronson, Antonio Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt, and as of this writing they get leading odds of 3/1. All 18 of the Expert journalists we’ve polled are predicting their victory: Thelma Adams (Gold Derby), Erik Davis (Fandango), Edward Douglas (Weekend Warrior), Joyce Eng (Gold Derby), Bonnie Fuller (Hollywood Life), Tariq Khan (Fox TV), Susan King...

Olivia Colman has regained her lead over Emily Blunt in the race for Best Comedy/Musical Actress at the Golden Globes just in time, with final voting ending on Wednesday (Jan. 2). Our experts are predicting that the star of “The Favourite” will win on Sunday over, among others, Blunt who headlines the blockbuster “Mary Poppins Returns.”
Colman prevailed with her only previous Golden Globe bid two years ago for “The Night Manager.” That win came in the catch-all supporting performance category over on the TV side. Blunt took home that same trophy in 2007 for the telefilm “Gideon’s Daughter.” Since then she has contended for her leading film roles in the 2009 drama “The Young Victoria,” the 2012 comedy “Salmon Fishing in the Yemen” and the 2014 musical “Into the Woods.”
The 11 Experts casting their vote for Colman are: Thelma Adams (Gold Derby), Erik Davis (Fandango), Joyce Eng (Gold Derby), Alicia Malone (TCM...
