Christopher Nolan has never received an Oscar nomination for Best Director. It feels sort of crazy to realize, but it’s true. He has helped change the course of film history in the way he makes movies, and he’s considerably upped the game with his devotion to analog film and his utilization of IMAX. Above all,

On September 20, 1973 a tennis match dubbed the Battle of the Sexes took place and over 48 million viewers tuned in to watch Billie Jean King defeat Bobby Riggs. Riggs was 55 and a former World number one. Jean-King was 29 and at the top of her tennis game. Forty years later, the story

The Oscar race is strangely fluid for it being almost October. Generally we have a better idea of a consensus by now — that is, what people who write about the Oscar race think. But there doesn’t appear to be any sort of unity around one movie. There are three films that seem to be,

Emma Stone has given the best performance of her career so far in Battle of the Sexes, a film that has a positive 87% on Rotten Tomatoes and is the rare crowdpleaser in the usual array of angst-ridden Oscar fare. There aren’t many films one can recommend to just about everyone (homophobes excluded), but this
