Human agony of both the physical and emotional kind is a Darren Aronofsky staple, but The Whale, which is driven by shattering work from Brendan Fraser as a 600lb teacher eating himself to death, pushes that theme to extremes while remaining steadfastly within the borders of naturalism. Adapted by Samuel D. Hunter from his play, the intense chamber drama never disguises its stage roots but transcends them with the grace and compassion of the writing and the layers of pain and despair, love and dogged hope peeled back in the central performance. Fraser makes us see beyond the alarming appearance to the deeply affecting heart of this broken man.
The play premiered in New York in 2012, and since then, Hunter has gone on to be awarded a MacArthur Fellowship (aka “Genius” Grant) and serve as a writer and producer on FX’s beloved comedy-drama series Baskets.

Well… Oscar night 2022 was certainly one to remember. Many obituaries will have received their first lines last night, and there’s a few moments that will appear half way down for some of them.
But – here’s the good news: Sian Heder’s Coda won Best Picture, and genuine living legend Troy Kotsur took home the Best Supporting Actor award. It may have been a surprise for some, as Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog was hotly favoured. In the second piece of excellent news it was Campion herself who took home the Best Director gong, many would argue it’s long overdue.
Elsewhere Encanto, Will Smith, Jessica Chastain all took to the stage to collect their awards, and it’s pleasing to see another year when the awards were well spread out. It’s a sign of an industry in fine fettle, which is just as well given,...

The 94th Annual Academy Awards were presented on Sunday, March 27, during a ceremony that took place at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, California, and was hosted by Wanda Sykes, Regina Hall, and Amy Schumer. So who took home the gold? Scroll down for the complete list of winners in all 23 categories, updated throughout the night.

The Netflix western “The Power of the Dog” entered these awards with a leading 12 nominations, which is also the most nominations any Netflix film has ever received. But was it destined to become the first film from a streaming distributor to take top honors? To achieve that the film had to battle against Apple’s “Coda,” which only had three nominations but won crucial awards from the Screen Actors Guild, Writers Guild, and Producers Guild, the last of which uses the same kind of ranked-choice voting as the Oscars.

Even as Oscar nominees arrived on the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre this afternoon, their ire did not cease over the Academy’s decision to push eight categories to a pre-taped portion of the show.
Slammed Oscar nominated tick, tick…Boom! film editor Myron Kerstein whose category is one of those in the pre-show, “We know the choice was not a correct one, but at the end of the day, we’re being nominated, and no one is going to rain on our parade.”
“This is our day, our party, we are so proud of what we did on tick, tick…Boom! and no one is going to change that especially the Academy,” he added.
Those categories being presented in the 4Pm pre-show in addition to Film Editing also include Documentary (Short Subject), Makeup and Hairstyling, Music (Original Score), Production Design, Short Film (Animated), Short Film (Live Action), and Sound.

The films in the running for the 2022 Best Film Editing Oscar are “Don’t Look Up,” “Dune,” “King Richard,” “The Power of the Dog,” and “tick, tick… Boom!.” Our current odds indicate that “Dune” (82/25) is the frontrunner, followed in order by “The Power of the Dog” (19/5), “Don’t Look Up” (9/2), “King Richard” (9/2), and “tick, tick… Boom!” (9/2).
Four of the six individual cutters up for the gold this year are past nominees, with both Pamela Martin (“King Richard”) and Andrew Weisblum having now received their first notices in over a decade. As the respective editors of “The Fighter” and “Black Swan,” they initially challenged each other in 2011 but were ultimately bested by Kirk Baxter and Angus Wall (“The Social Network”). Weisblum shares his current nomination with first-timer Myron Kerstein. The other newcomer in the group is Peter Sciberras (“The Power of the Dog”).

None of the 13 precursor prizes announced winners before Oscar nominations were revealed on February 8. However, all but one of them — the Casting Society of America — revealed their roster of contenders before the start of Oscar nominations balloting on January 27. The CSA, which chimed in on February 1, will be the only guild to hold its ceremony after final Oscar voting ends on March 22; the Artios Awards are the next day.
Before Oscar voting kicked off on March 17, we heard from eight guilds. The makeup artists and hairstylists weighed in on Feb. 19 while the actors were heard from on Feb. 27. Two guilds — art directors and film editors — held ceremonies on March 5. The visual effects wizards handed out prizes on March 8, the costume designers on March 9, the directors on March 12 and the sound editors on March 13.

Last Updated March 7: Underdog “King Richard” beat the higher profile “Dune” and “The Power of the Dog” for drama film editing honors at the 72nd Ace Eddie Awards on March 5 at the Ace Hotel. Likewise, “Tick Tick Boom” upset the favored “Don’t Look Up” in the film comedy category. In terms of the Oscar race, though, it’s still wide open for “Dune,” “The Power of the Dog,” or “Don’t Look Up” to prevail.
Last Updated February 10: The editing Oscar nominees — “Don’t Look Up” (Netflix), “Dune” (Warner Bros.), “King Richard” (Warner Bros.), “The Power of the Dog” (Netflix), and “Tick Tick Boom” (Netflix) — all employ different rhythmic styles to convey their bizarre worlds and to get inside the heads of their troubled protagonists. For those wondering about editing as a Best Picture predictor, particularly since “Belfast” is not included here, they’ve only overlapped twice since 2012 with “Argo” and “Nomadland.

“King Richard” got a big boost in its bid for Best Editing at the Oscars with a win at the Ace Golden Eddie Awards on March 6. It prevailed in the drama race at these awards bestowed by American Cinema Editors over two of its Oscar rivals –“Dune” and “The Power of the Dog” — as well as “Belfast” and “No Time to Die.”
Another of the Oscar nominees, “tick, tick…Boom!,” won the comedy/musical category over the fifth Oscar contender, “Don’t Look Up,” plus “Cruella,” “The French Dispatch” and “Licorice Pizza.”
Since 1990, the film that came up with one of the ACEs went on to take home the top prize at the Academy Awards 18 times, including the 2020 winner for best drama editing, “Parasite.” And in nine of the 13 years when the Ace barometer was wrong, at least one of the Eddie champs was a contender for Best Picture.

The American Cinema Editors used their Ace Eddie Awards on Saturday to fire back at the Oscars. Facing declining ratings and long running times, the Academy, the Oscars ceremony producers and ABC decided to award Oscars for editing and seven other categories outside the live telecast. Ace board member Kevin Tent introduced the awards saying, “There might be some setbacks and slights at times which can sting.”
Hacks editor Susan Vaill used her speech to implore everyone from PAs to other crafts to amplify each other, in order to “make those people who don’t think we should be on the broadcast listen.” tick, tick… Boom! editor Myron Kerstein concluded his speech by saying “present all 23” categories.

“King Richard” and “tick, tick…Boom!” have been named the best-edited feature films of 2021 by the American Cinema Editors, which held its annual Ace-Eddie Awards on Saturday at, appropriately enough, the Ace Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
“King Richard” beat fellow Oscar nominees “Dune” (the presumed favorite) and “The Power of the Dog” to win in the drama category, while “tick, tick…Boom!” beat the Oscar-nominated “Don’t Look Up” in the comedy category.
In the 22 years since Ace split its film award into separate drama and comedy categories, one of its winners has gone on to win the Oscar for Best Film Editing 15 times. All but one of those wins have come in the drama category. Last year’s winner, “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” lost the Oscar to “Sound of Metal.”

Warner Bros. sports drama King Richard took the top Best Edited Feature Film (Dramatic) honor Saturday to cap the American Cinema Editors’ 72nd annual Ace Eddie Awards.
Pamela Martin edited the pic, which sees Will Smith portraying the father to tennis sensations Venus (Saniyya Sidney) and Serena Williams (Demi Singleton), who had a plan that would take the young tennis players from the streets of Compton to the global stage. The win puts Martin and the film in frontrunner status in the Best Film Editing Oscar race, where it is competing against fellow nominees Don’t Look Up, Dune, The Power of the Dog and Tick, Tick…Boom!. Twenty-two of the past 30 Ace winners for best edited dramatic film and 11 of the past 16 have gone on to score the Oscar, but Ford v.

When Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “tick, tick… Boom!” didn’t appear in the Best Picture category on Oscar nominations morning, its chances of a win in Best Film Editing considerably dwindled. Many of Gold Derby’s Experts currently list the movie dead last in their film editing predictions, in fifth place behind “Dune,” “The Power of the Dog,” “Don’t Look Up” and “King Richard.” Why? The other four nominees in this category all made it in for Best Picture, and some pundits may believe it’s impossible to win the film editing Oscar without a corresponding picture nomination. Such is not necessarily the case. In fact, let me suggest a few reasons why “tick, tick… Boom!” could surprise in this category.

There’s always a little more gray area in the Best Film Editing Oscar category about which movies deserve to be highlighted since it’s such an invisible art form where what’s in the movie and not in the movie are both important. But it’s a particularly relevant category, because only one movie in the past 40 years has won Best Picture without being nominated in this category (“Birdman”), which is a testament to how important good editing is to the success of a film.
“Dune” continues to be the front-runner in Gold Derby odds, but noticeably absent is Kenneth Branagh’s “Belfast,” which is believed to be a favorite for Best Picture, as well as Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Licorice Pizza” and Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story.” Yet there are still five great choices here. All five nominees were also nominated by the American Cinema Editors. And...

Lin-Manuel Miranda is ecstatic about the success of the animated feature “Encanto,” and for his second Oscar nomination for original song — this time, for the emotional number “Dos Oruguitas.” However, the performance of the movie’s soundtrack on the music charts has been getting all the headlines, specifically the hit song, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.” Miranda doesn’t regret submitting “Dos Oruguitas” rather than “Bruno” for consideration for this year’s Academy Awards. The decision had to be done by Nov. 1, which the film had yet opened in theaters despite its performance on the charts.
“I’m still proud of ‘Dos Oruguitas’ as the submission,” Miranda says. “When those are the parameters, you have to pick the thing that best exemplifies the spirit of the movie, and it contains all of it inside this song – as opposed to a journey of a particular character. It’s the foundational story,...

“Dune” had racked up a perfect score by reaping nominations with each of the first dozen guilds but was snubbed by the CSA.”West Side Story” is next with 10, missing out for film editing and lensing. The stylish “No Time to Die” has eight.

In “Tick, Tick, …Boom!” the song “Therapy” is performed by Jonathan Larson, played by Andrew Garfield and Karessa played by Vanessa Hudgens. The number intercuts mid-argument between Larson and girlfriend Susan (Alexandra Shipp), as they fight over Jonathan’s reluctance to understand that he has been shutting Susan out of his life as his musical’s workshop gets closer.
Director Lin-Manuel Miranda says the song, a Fosse-style inspired moment, is a charming number that pokes fun at counselor therapy speak, and the best way to tell your partner you’re ticked off at them. Says Miranda, “The tone of that song was on a collision course with where our characters were.”
In an interview with Variety, Miranda and WGA nominated screenwriter Steven Levenson explained they had road-mapped every song in the film with a postcard or note. “We settled on a big swing — this is our cabaret moment. The directive...

Movie musicals are hard. Much like the impending workshop performance that could make or break Jonathan Larson’s (Andrew Garfield) career in musical theater, the first 10 minutes of “Tick Tick Boom” could make or break its ability to do anything.
Beyond the usual musical problem of getting an audience comfortable with singing and dancing one moment and characters behaving more naturalistically the next, the film had a couple of particular challenges it needs to overcome quickly. The first was to contextualize Larson’s legacy for viewers who weren’t already read-in to “Rent.” The second challenge was that the film doesn’t just have musical numbers and dramatic scenes: It has a performance that serves as the frame story and launch-point for both kinds of scenes. The audience needs to understand how we move between each kind of environment and feel the changes as intuitive and natural, lest we get lost.

The nominations for the 2022 Ace Eddie Awards announced on Thursday (Jan. 27) include our Oscar frontrunner for Best Film Editing, “Dune,” along with three of the other four films we’re predicting to reap bids in that race: “Belfast,” “Don’t Look Up” and “The Power of the Dog.” While “West Side Story” was snubbed by the American Cinema Editors we expect it to be the fifth Academy Awards contender.
The Ace Eddie Awards divide their prizes for editing between dramas and comedies/musicals.
“Belfast,” “Dune” and “The Power of the Dog” contend here in the drama race, which is rounded out by “King Richard” and“No Time to Die.”
Facing off against “Don’t Look Up” on the comedy side are “Cruella,” “The French Dispatch,” “Licorice Pizza” and “tick, tick…Boom!”
In 1992, the Eddies went from three to five nominees (matching that of the Oscars) and in 2000 it split the award in two,...

Nominees for the 72nd annual Ace Eddie Awards include feature dramas “Dune,” “Belfast,” “King Richard,” “No Time to Die,” “The Power of the Dog,” along with feature comedies “Licorice Pizza” and “Don’t Look Up.” Also getting comedy nods were “Cruella,” “The French Dispatch,” and “Tick Tick Boom.” The winners will be announced live during the Ace Eddie awards March 5 at the Ace Hotel theater.
“Dune,” “Belfast,” “King Richard,” “Don’t Look Up,” and “The Power of the Dog” have the strongest chance of getting Oscar nominations. However, “Licorice Pizza” and “No Time to Die” could also make the cut. Although “West Side Story” was overlooked by Ace, there’s still the chance that three-time Oscar winner Michael Kahn and co-editor Sarah Broshar could squeeze into the race.

“Belfast,” “Dune,” “King Richard,” “No Time to Die” and “The Power of the Dog” have been nominated as the best dramatic film editing of 2021 by the American Cinema Editors, which announced the nominees for the 72nd annual Ace Eddie Awards on Thursday.
Those five films will compete in the Best Edited Feature Film (Dramatic) category, while the field in Best Edited Feature Film (Comedy) will consist of “Cruella,” “Don’t Look Up,” “The French Dispatch,” “Licorice Pizza” and “tick, tick…Boom!”
The most surprising omission was probably “West Side Story,” while Ace Eddie voters also bypassed “Nightmare Alley,” “Coda” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”
Nominations for the editing of animated features went to the same five animated films that have also been nominated by the Cinema Audio Society, Motion Picture Sound Editors, Visual Effects Society and Art Directors Guild: “Encanto,” “Luca,” “The Mitchells vs. the Machines,” “Raya and the Last Dragon” and “Sing 2.

When it comes to predicting the Oscar winner for Best Film Editing, you can’t go wrong by looking for the movie with the most cuts. Past winners “The Bourne Ultimatum” (2008), “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2016) and “Ford v Ferrari” (2020) included high-octane action sequences with frenetic cutting. And a slew of other champs — including “Saving Private Ryan” in 1999, “Black Hawk Down” (2002), “The Hurt Locker” (2010), “Hacksaw Ridge” (2017) and “Dunkirk” (2018) — have been war pictures. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2021 Oscar predictions for Best Film Editing.)
Oscar voters also embrace film editors who skillfully juggle multiple storylines, as was the case with “Traffic” (2001) and “Crash” (2006). And they like films that expertly inter-cut music with images, such as “Cabaret” (1973), “Chicago” (2003), “Whiplash” (2015), “Bohemian Rhapsody” (2019) and last year’s winner “Sound of Metal.” Special effects extravaganzas like “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” (2004) and “Gravity” (2014) won by deftly blurring the lines between the real and the fantastic.

“We don’t waste time,” admits editor Andrew Weisblum about working with Wes Anderson on “The French Dispatch.” For our recent webchat, he continues, “I started out being a little more precious about moments. Wes is willing to cut deeper. I’ve learned it’s not a ruthless thing, it’s just an energy thing that he’s very consistent and strong about.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.
“The French Dispatch,” co-written and directed by Anderson, is set at the outpost of an American newspaper in 20th century France. It revolves around the publication of the newsletter, telling three stories that make up the feature articles with live action, animation, miniatures and elaborate set design. The editor describes, “We weren’t necessarily approaching it as one piece, but it was three or four films working together. There’s definitely material that bridges it together, but each story in the...

“I don’t really treat them any differently,” editor Myron Kerstein admits about how he approaches his work on movie musicals versus other genres of television and film. This year, he worked on both Netflix’s “tick, tick… Boom!” and Warner Bros.’ “In The Heights. “I always wanted to make a musical,” Kerstein shares, describing the experience on both projects as “a dream come true.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.
Kerstein served as co-editor on “tick, tick… Boom!” with Andrew Weisblum. “It’s always different when you come into a film” whose “tone is already set,” he notes, but cites the “shorthand” he established with director Lin-Manuel Miranda on “In The Heights” as crucial in helping to finish the film. “Lin is a very competent first-time director as you can see from the film,” he says, mentioning how he served to “make sure that Lin’s ideas came to full completion.

Andrew Weisblum has been editing Wes Anderson's films for over a decade. The two first collaborated on "The Darjeeling Limited," and since then they've worked together on "Fantastic Mr. Fox," "Moonrise Kingdom," "Isle of Dogs," and now "The French Dispatch."
Anderson's latest is structured into three chapters and based around three stories appearing in the final issue of The French Dispatch, the fictional foreign bureau of a Kansas newspaper. In addition to this framing device, there are an array of characters and moving pieces that Weisblum helped to assemble without any bumps in the road.

In order to avoid splitting votes and allow for the possibility of netting two acting nominations this year, Searchlight Pictures will campaign Andrew Garfield’s performance as televangelist Jim Bakker in “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” for supporting actor consideration, based on an invite that was sent to BAFTA voters for an upcoming virtual screening of the film.
Following the biopic’s bow at the Toronto International Film Festival and modest box office receipts, its Oscar prospects have been seemingly on the fringe, but the film, directed by Michael Showalter, could make a roaring comeback during the season. Garfield’s co-star Jessica Chastain, who plays his wife Tammy Faye, will angle for lead actress, and could become a central piece of a competitive race that includes Olivia Colman (“The Lost Daughter”), Penelope Cruz (“Parallel Mothers”) and Kristen Stewart (“Spencer”).

Owen Wilson is on his seventh collaboration with director Wes Anderson with the upcoming “The French Dispatch,” soon set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival ahead of a long-awaited fall release. But he’s also juggling TV duties in his role as Mobius on Disney+’s Marvel Cinematic Universe series “Loki.” The actor recently spoke to IndieWire about that series, as well as his longtime relationship with Anderson, in the video below.
“I’ve seen ‘The French Dispatch’ and I thought it was great,” said Wilson, who previously worked with Anderson on films including “Bottle Rocket,” “The Royal Tenenbaums,” “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou,” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” among others, including a voice role on “Fantastic Mr. Fox.”
Wilson said “The French Dispatch” is “so original and unique, and there’s sort of three main stories in there. I love them all,” he said, including “the one with Benicio [Del Toro] and Lea Seydoux.

At long last Searchlight Pictures has dated Wes Anderson’s “The French Dispatch” for October 22, 2021. The date announcement comes with confirmation that Anderson’s star-studded new film will world premiere at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival in July and also play the 59th New York Film Festival in the fall. The movie was named an Official Selection of Cannes last year and was originally going to open July 24, 2020 before the pandemic bumped it first to October 16, 2020 and then now to October 22, 2021.
Searchlight’s official synopsis for “The French Dispatch” reads: “The film is a love letter to journalists set in an outpost of an American newspaper in a fictional 20th Century French city and brings to life a collection of stories published in ‘The French Dispatch’ magazine.” The ensemble cast includes Bill Murray, Timothee Chalamet, Frances McDormand, Bob Balaban, Jeff Goldblum, Elisabeth Moss, Tilda Swinton, Lea Seydoux, Owen Wilson, Jeffrey Wright,...

Wes Anderson’s “The French Dispatch” is having its theatrical release delayed from July 24 to October 16. The move shifts Anderson’s latest into the thick of awards season. The majority of Anderson’s recent releases have all been in the spring or summer, including “Isle of Dogs,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” and “Moonrise Kingdom.” The original July 24 release date led many in the film industry to believe Searchlight would world premiere “The French Dispatch” at the 2020 Cannes Film Festival, but that event has been postponed until future dates that still haven’t been determined.
“The French Dispatch” is being billed as Anderson’s “love letter to journalists.” The comedy-drama is set in an outpost of an American newspaper in a fictional 20th Century French city.

Following yesterday’s batch of first look photos, Searchlight Pictures has dropped the first trailer for Wes Anderson’s highly anticipated 10th feature film, “The French Dispatch.” Anderson last directed the stop-motion adventure “Isle of Dogs,” making “French Dispatch” his first live-action effort since the release of “The Grand Budapest Hotel.” Searchlight released “Grand Budapest” in March 2016 to nine Oscar nominations (including Best Picture and Best Director) and $172 million worldwide on a $25 million production budget. The studio is surely hoping to have similar success with “The French Dispatch” which, like “Grand Budapest,” boasts a star-studded ensemble cast.

For “The French Dispatch,” Anderson has reunited with the likes of Bill Murray, Bob Balaban, Jeff Goldblum, Tilda Swinton, Lea Seydoux and Owen Wilson, while welcoming Timothee Chalamet, Elisabeth Moss, and Benicio del Toro into his world for the first time.

It was a busy morning for precursor awards today, wasn’t it? Not only are we still recovering from what went on at the Golden Globes last night, a quartet of important stepping stones to Oscar announced their nominees. The nominations came from the Ace Eddies (the Guild for film editors), the American Society of Cinematographers (the Guild for cinematography), the Art Directors Guild, and of course, the Writers Guild. The latter, as usual, had disqualified some high profile contenders, so that’s important to keep in mind, but the former three have given us a decent look at the likeliest Academy Award nominees in Best Production Design and Best Film Editing, respectively. The four precursors represented Guilds that actually correspond with Academy members, so keep that in mind. Ace Eddie and Adg separate into multiple categories, so that’s worth making note of, as well. Also, as you might imagine,...

“Roma” director Alfonso Cuarón and co-editor Adam Gough led the 9th annual Ace Eddie feature film nominations, joining Barry Alexander Brown (“BlacKkKlansman”), John Ottman (“Bohemian Rhapsody”), Tom Cross (“First Man”), and Jay Cassidy (“A Star Is Born”).
