Gutsy to pick Judy among the line up but this bodes well for the film. I really hope it lives up to my positive and hopeful expectations.
Marriage Story 97 on Metacritic after 9 reviews … looking solid right now.
On 97 after 9. Absolutely massive.
There has to be a better way of seeing First Cow than going to Telluride. Is it screening elsewhere? Also is this the year when Oscar bloggers/Industry reporters(what?)/Industry people themselves will completely overblow a James Mangold movie? Sheeshsss. Don’t get me wrong. He is a very fine journeyman whose work I have always greatly enjoyed–and consistently all of his movies place on my yearly lists of the essentials (Top 30-40 rage), but I dread people claiming he suddenly made the best movie of the year of our lord 2019. We’ll see I guess.
NYFF
I’d take it.
Reviews so far make it sound like many nominations for Marriage Story, maybe the lead actors, Dern, Liotta.

Ouch, this score is really a pain in the ear…
Score is Nicolas Jaar. He is fantastic.
Hmm. Someone said last year was the first year Telluride didn’t screen the eventual Best Pic winner for the first time since The Hurt Locker won in 2010 (as that film was already released by the time the festival happened). But judging from the movies on the lineup, none of them scream Best Pic to me.
GREAT line-up. Decisions. Decisions. One can’t possibly see it all! Have fun Sasha!
PS Can you put Shuzhen Zhao in the contender tracker for supporting actress??? : )
Kelly Reichardt!!
By the way, any chances for a posthumous Oscar for Mme Varda ?
I think she has a lifetime Oscar.
She has, but I can’t help seeing those honorary Oscars as consolation prizes. Same for that outrageous “Special Golden Palm” Godard won last year.
But aren’t we living in a culture where people think Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood should win all the awards because Tarantino is “overdue” for a directing Oscar, as if two writing awards aren’t validating someone’s talent enough?
And if we look at Varda’s career, there are so many times she missed out when she should have been nominated. Of the limited amount of films I’ve seen from her (not for example including films like Vagabond), I’d argue she would have at least deserved four nominations for directing and writing each (both nominations for Cléo, Le bonheur, One Sings, the Other Doesn’t and Jacquot de Nantes) and her movies would have deserved at least six best picture nominations (those plus The Gleaners and I and Visages, villages) and several nominations for documentary. So I’d say she’s definitely one of those people for whom the notion that they gave her only a lifetime achievement award is kind of ridiculous and her winning a competetive Oscar would be totally deserved (especially as the film in question is astonishing and completely worthy of the award even without any Varda narrative, and I wouldn’t mind it if it got a best picture nomination either)
This is super weird. It’s not like Telluride is full of people running to see what is most likely a very quiet character drama with absolutely no stars, and that is most likely not going to do anything in the Oscar race. So how is this the only festival before NYFF that this goes to?
And have you seen the Varda? It’s so good, as always
Yes! I really loved the Varda, the perfect guide to rediscover her career, a perfect, bittersweet final expression of her legacy. I really wanted Faces, Places to win.. . I remember losing all hope a second before the announcement. Just when I saw no expression in Greta Gerwig’s face as she saw the name on the envelope.
Concerning Reichardt, I thought she’d be at Venice, like Night moves. First cow is my most expected film of the year, to be honest. I think she’s the most interesting filmmaker of the decade.
I think I read somewhere that it’ll be released next year in March.
