Exclusive: The Telluride Film Festival, held in an old mining town high up in a picturesque alpine valley in the Rockies, marks its 50th anniversary this week, and Oscar-winning Moonlight filmmaker Barry Jenkins undoubtedly is one of its favorite sons.
He’ll be making the trek to the mountains as he did for the first time in 2002 as a student from Florida State film school. The festival has a student symposium where novice filmmakers can meet and engage with professionals over the Labor Day weekend.
“There is no red carpet, there are no frills,” the director told me. “If you see a filmmaker in line for a cup of coffee, speak to them. They actually want to be engaged. That’s why filmmakers come over and over again, year after year.”
Jenkins obviously wasn’t around Telluride in the ’70s, but he acknowledges that he has heard that “socioeconomically, it...

Bobby Zarem, the famed entertainment industry publicist who represented stars such as Cher and Diana Ross, died Sunday in Savannah, Ga., according to the New York Times. He was 84.
Zarem’s colleague Bill Augustin confirmed to the New York Times that he died of complications related to lung cancer.
Zarem was born in Savannah in 1936. He grew up there, then attended Yale University before moving to New York City. After a short stint working on Wall Street, he moved into the entertainment industry. Zarem was first hired by Columbia Artists Management and discovered his affinity for publicity while working for producer Joseph E. Levine. His PR career bloomed at Rogers & Cowan, a firm he joined in 1969, where he developed a client base that included Dustin Hoffman. In 1974, he founded Zarem Inc.

With the BAFTA Film Awards fast approaching this Sunday, London is poised to start swinging into revelry from Friday through to the wee hours of Monday morning.
The party roster this year as compared to last is slightly different, but that shouldn’t dampen the spirit of the home stretch towards the Oscars on February 9 in what has been a very condensed season.
One of the biggest shifts is to see several studios with a horse in the races pull together to pull off a mega fête on Sunday night at Soho House. After the annual gala dinner that follows the BAFTA ceremony at Grosvenor House, no less than eOne, Lionsgate, Paramount, Sony and Universal will welcome winners, nominees and other guests scattered throughout the multi-tiered Georgian building on Greek Street. Their collective films include 1917, Knives Out, Bombshell, Rocketman, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and Little Women, among others.

Nearly six weeks after reports about her relationship with deceased millionaire and accused serial predator Jeffrey Epstein surfaced, Hollywood player Peggy Siegal is back in the mix.
A publicist and connector for power players in show business, Wall Street, tech and society, Siegal went dark after losing several high profile gigs thanks to her association with Epstein, who took his own life in prison on August 10.
She was spotted Friday at the Telluride Film Festival, numerous people on the ground in the Colorado ski haven told Variety, attending an official festival brunch packed with talent, executives and stars.
Rene Zellweger, Martin Scorsese, Adam Driver, Laura Dern, Felicity Jones and Eddie Redmayne, Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos, film academy president David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson, and “Ford v Ferrari” director James Mangold were all present at the event.

The number of straight from the headlines projects seems to be increasing by the day, and Patricia Heaton is the latest to get in on the act.
Heaton is attached to produce a project based on the “Perversion of Justice,” a series of articles in the Miami Herald which exposed Jeffrey Epstein as a serial child molester, according to a source with knowledge of the project.
The project is in the works at Storied Media Group, which represents the film and TV interests of the Herald’s parent company McClatchy. Storied founder and CEO Todd Hoffman is reportedly also producing. According to sources, Chris Gerolmo, who is best known for penning the 1988 Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe pic “Mississippi Burning” and creating the FX Iraq War series “Over There,” has been brought on to adapt the articles.

After garnering an Emmy nomination with “Surviving R. Kelly,” Lifetime is developing another series designed to share the stories of those who have experienced sexual violence.
A+E Networks programming chief Rob Sharenow announced at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Tuesday that Lifetime is currently working on “Surviving Jeffrey Epstein.” The docuseries will investigate crimes allegedly committed by Epstein even as he moved through the upper echelons of the financial, political, and social world. Epstein was arrested earlier this month on charges that he took part in a trafficking ring that involved underage minors.
The six-part series “Surviving R. Kelly” premiered in January, featuring allegations against the R&b star. Following the series airing on the network, Kelly was dropped from radio station airplay around the country. Epstein’s alleged history has already had repercussions for his former associates in the entertainment industry, with studios cutting ties...

In a 2016 New York Times profile of A-list event wrangler Peggy Siegal, Alex Williams wrote, “On her way to meet an old friend, John Travolta, at her party for his new FX mini-series, ‘The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story,’ at Monkey Bar, it seemed clear that Ms. Siegal is in no hurry to leave the social pinnacle she spent a lifetime clawing to reach.” Now, after three decades, her association with accused sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein has pushed the 72-year-old social hostess off that peak: Variety reports that Annapurna, Netflix, and FX have pulled their accounts.
Siegal has singular skills when it comes to mixing and matching the lists of New York’s elite movers and shakers across all social sectors — literary, media, art, finance, and entertainment. She works hard to set up lunches, dinners, screenings, and parties attended by some 800 New York-area Academy members.

Updated: Netflix, FX and Annapurna Pictures are among the Hollywood companies that are parting ways with Peggy Siegal, a movie and television publicist who reportedly used her connections to get multi-millionaire and accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein into splashy premieres and parties.
Siegal, known for her thick Rolodex and sway over annual awards races in film and television, was fired last week from a consultant role on Netflix’s Emmy campaign strategy, individuals familiar with the matter told Variety. She was let go following stories in the New York Times and the Hollywood Reporter that documented how Siegal helped Epstein access to A-list events. Siegal reportedly allowed Epstein to pay for her travel.
Netflix has also cut ties with Siegal. Her company had sent out invitations for screenings and promotional events that have yet to take place. However, Siegal was hired before news of her connection to Epstein broke.

Ryan Murphy asked Tony winner Ben Platt to star in his first Netflix series “The Politician” in summer 2017, after watching the Broadway prodigy perform on stage in “Dear Evan Hansen” that same year.
Murphy and Platt’s meeting pre-dated the headline-dominating college admissions scam by nearly two years, but the dark comedy, which debuts Sept. 27, carries eerily similar themes to the scandal that saw celebrity parents, including Hollywood actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, cheat their kids’ way into high-profile universities
“It’s like a premonition,” Platt said while chatting to Variety about “The Politician’s” parallels to the college cheating scandal on Tuesday night at a special screening of the season premiere in New York City. “Ryan [Murphy] is always a few steps ahead of the curve so it doesn’t surprise me, but when it was happening, it was crazy.

BAFTA weekend is upon us as nominees and execs prep for London revelry throughout Sunday night’s awards and into the wee small hours afterwards. Last year, we saw a contrast in the pre- and post-festivities as new hosts stepped up to take over from The Weinstein Company, which had fronted some of the hottest tickets in town until the company was engulfed by scandal.
This year there are even more exclusive soirées to choose from (or to be chosen by). While Sunday sees eOne, Fox and Lionsgate return to Soho House’s Greek Street hub in a repeat of what was a terrific 2018 event, new on the bash block is Netflix which will take over the Chiltern in Marylebone that same night.
The streaming giant scored its biggest haul of nominations this year, largely for Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma which has seven, tied with Warner Bros’ A Star Is Born,...

They may be triumphs of filmmaking, but 2018’s crop of awards season contenders have been a mixed bag when it comes to box office returns.
Sadly, that’s become something of a tradition — as much a staple of the Oscar race as Peggy Siegal luncheons or Meryl Streep. Last year’s best picture nominees had the lowest grosses in six years. This year’s slate of favorites could turn that around as a number of blockbusters seem to have a serious chance at Oscar glory. At the same time, a handful of indie titles have struggled to gain momentum at the specialty box office.
A number of expected champs, including “Vice,” “If Beale Street Could Talk,” and “Mary Poppins Returns” have yet to hit theaters, though the trio have already picked up plenty of plaudits. “Vice,” Adam McKay’s scathing look at former vice president Dick Cheney, surprised awards sages...

Screen tests no longer mean anything to Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. For his German entry for Oscar consideration, “Never Look Away,” he chose the young actor Tom Schilling despite bad auditions. “He’s a sensitive, shy person,” von Donnersmarck explained. “Because he was the ‘it boy’ in Germany everybody was against him. But I knew when I met him he was different.” But the difference wasn’t immediately evident. The young man described by the director as a German “Ryan Gosling with a little bit of James McAvoy” wasn’t getting it across in the screen tests. Yes, that’s plural.
“I did seven days of tests. He was frustrated. On the last day it still wasn’t there.” That would have been the end for any other actor. But after the last test Schilling did something that helped sway the director. “He gave me a letter saying, ‘I know what you’re looking for.

I heard Mahershala Ali‘s next Oscar acceptance speech today. It happened during a Q&A for “Green Book” at Bice in midtown Manhattan after the film screened next door.
“The film provides some perspective on things we are experiencing now. I think we need to have these films,” the “Moonlight” winner began. “We need to have art. We need to have ‘edu-tainment.’ Things have to exist that do some of the fighting for us.” On his portrayal of Don Shirley — the musician driven around the South in 1961 by Viggo Mortensen‘s character Tony Vallelonga — he continued, “It was a real blessing to step into the shoes of a man who was that dynamic and that complicated. I’d never seen that man on screen before — of any color. It made me nervous, but I wanted to step toward it.”
It’s rare that applause breaks out at one of...

Tony Bennett was there. So was the late Nora Ephron‘s husband Nic Pileggi. Even former Howard Stern sidekick Jackie “The Jokeman” Martling. Clearly Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy still have a wide fan base. The Peggy Siegal screening and reception for “Stan and Ollie” on the West Side of Manhattan played to an A-list media and Oscar-voting crowd. “I just got off a plane from London,” said director Jon S. Baird. The heavily brogued Scot added with a smile, “I think you can tell from my accent I’m from Brooklyn.”
At the afterparty a trim and natty John C. Reilly didn’t look anything like the Oliver Hardy he became for the film. “The real genius of the makeup was Mark Coulier, the prosthetics designer,” Reilly revealed. “The way he made the skin look so real was an art.

“It’s the best thing she’s ever done,” insists one Oscar voter after viewing Glenn Close’s performance in “The Wife” at a private screening recently cohosted by Martha Stewart in East Hampton, New York. “She’s got my vote.”
The screening generated significant academy buzz for the overdue star on the eve of the movie’s national release by Sony Pictures Classics on Aug. 17.
“Glenn Close perfectly expressed the whole spectrum” of emotions in her role as a woman who has ghostwritten for her famous literary husband and stayed in the shadows, according to best-selling author and fashion journalist Kate Betts. “Emotions from absolute devotion to absolute betrayal.”
“The Wife” is based upon a novel written 15 years ago by Meg Wolitzer, who was on hand for the screening. “The things that I was grappling with back in 2003 are eerily relevant to what men and women are going through today,...
