Film Editing for ‘Dunkirk’. The Time’s Up initiative was not as visible as at the Golden Globes in January, with no coordinated protest- like the striking Globes red carpet “blackout.” But towards the end of the show, Salma Hayek fronted the presentation of a video of stars advocating for women’s rights and racial equality, including Ava DuVernay, Chadwick Boseman, Lee Daniels and Geena Davis. “This entire fall, (through) the #MeToo, the Time’s Up movements, every- one is getting a voice to express something that has been happening forever, not only in Hollywood, but in every walk of life,” said Mira Sorvino (“Mighty Aphrodite”). In another nod to the women’s movements, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences tapped past winners Jennifer Lawrence and Jodie Foster-on crutches-to present McDormand’s best actress Oscar. Traditionally, the previous year’s best actor winner would present that statuette, but Casey Affleck, who triumphed in 2017 for “Manchester by the Sea,” withdrew under a cloud of sexual harassment accusations he denies. Presenters atone for 2017 flub Other winners included Pixar’s “Coco” for best animat- ed feature and “A Fantastic Woman”-a love story from Chilean director Sebastian Lelio with a much-praised star turn from transgender actress Daniela Vega-in the foreign film category. And Jordan Peele won the award for best original screenplay for his highly acclaimed debut film, horror satire “Get Out.” Organizers were looking to rebound after last year’s flubbed announcement by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway of the best picture winner-the trophy was initially given to “La La Land,” when the actual winner was “Moonlight.” In a surprise turn of events, Beatty and Dunaway were tapped to present the same prize this time around, and the presentation went without a hitch. “It’s so nice seeing you again,” joked Beatty, to laughs from the audience. — AFP US actress Allison Janney delivers a speech after she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in “I, Tonya”.

    09 November 2011 | voaspecialenglish.com Eastwood, DiCaprio Try to Capture First FBI Director's Life in 'J. Edgar' AP From left, Leonardo DiCaprio, Armie Hammer and director Clint Eastwood at the premiere of "J. Edgar" last week in Los Angeles (You can download an MP3 of this story at voaspecialenglish.com) DOUG JOHNSON: Welcome to AMERICAN MOSAIC in VOA Special English. (MUSIC) I’m Doug Johnson. Today we play music from American Idol winner Scotty McCreery ... And we answer a question about American whiskey ... But first, it is history at the movie theater where a new film opens about former law enforcement chief J. Edgar Hoover. "J. Edgar" DOUG JOHNSON: The movie "J. Edgar" opens across America today. The film is about J. Edgar Hoover, the first director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Hoover was a complex and powerful man. He helped develop the FBI into an efficient and effective crime solving agency. However, in later years, many people 2 questioned the methods used by Hoover and his investigators. Bob Doughty tells more about the man and the movie. BOB DOUGHTY: Clint Eastwood directed the movie "J. Edgar." He grew up in the time when, in his words, "Hoover was always top cop." Eastwood said he had heard different stories about the former FBI director. Some of them were very critical. But Eastwood said anybody who stays in a job as long as Hoover did is going to create some enemies. J. Edgar Hoover was the leader of the FBI and the agency it developed from for almost fifty years.

    18 JAN 19 28 FEB 19 1 | 18 JAN 19 - 28 FEB 19 49 BELMONT STREET | BELMONTFILMHOUSE.COM What does it mean, ‘to play against type’? Come January/February you may find many examples. Usually it’s motivated by the opportunity to hold aloft a small gold-plated statue, but there are plenty memorable occasions where Hollywood’s elite pulled this trope off fantastically. Think Charlize Theron in Monster. Maybe Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine? Or Heath Ledger as Joker. These performances often come to dominate award season. Directors wrenching a truly transformative rendition out of their leads can be the difference between a potential big winner fading into obscurity, or being written into history. The class of 2019 appears particularly full of these turns. There might well be as much intrigue in figuring out which will be remembered, as in watching the performances themselves. ‘Unrecognisable as’ awards could go out to Margot Robbie as Elizabeth I in Mary Queen Of Scots; Melissa McCarthy in Can You Ever Forgive Me?; Nicole Kidman in Destroyer; Christian Bale as Dick Cheney in Vice. Others of course have been down this road before. Steve Carell has come a long, long way since Michael Scott and he looks tremendous in Beautiful Boy. And Matt Dillon, who we’ll see in The House That Jack Built, has always had a penchant for the slightly off-colour. There’s probably no one more off-colour than Lars von Trier. Screening for one night only. At Belmont Filmhouse we try to play against type as much as possible.
