Through 96 years of auspicious Oscar ceremonies, the event has often witnessed one major contender becoming the punching bag for critical backlash on social media. In 2017, that dubious honor fell to La La Land, after the shocking moment where presenters Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty mixed up the musical with Moonlight, and announced it as Best Picture winner.

Eventually, La La Land not only lost the Oscar for Best Picture but also witnessed a segment of moviegoers shifting from swooning over the film to loathing it. But one person who was unfazed by the Oscars’ mix-up and public comments, was legendary filmmaker Christopher Nolan. Making an exception of watching Damien Chazelle’s Best Picture nominee, three or four times in cinemas, Nolan expressed his love for the film.

The 96th Academy Awards felt like a true celebration. The show was packed with memorable moments, from Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s first Oscar win (which moved everyone to tears) to Ryan Gosling’s electrifying performance of I’m Just Ken, accompanied by Slash on guitar. But that’s not all, this year’s Oscars have also introduced some big changes.

Christopher Nolan is one of Britain’s best filmmaking exports, having made many movies adored by fans and critics alike. “Memento,” “The Prestige,” “The Dark Knight,” “Inception,” “Interstellar,” and “Dunkirk” all wowed cinema fans and he continued his hot streak with another epic — this time in the form of Universal’s historical biopic “Oppenheimer.”
The film follows Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer in his quest to create the atomic bomb while he gets caught up in the political machinations of Robert Downey Jr.’s Lewis Strauss. “Oppenheimer” is currently predicted to do well at the Oscars but how about on Nolan’s home soil?
Nolan has never won a BAFTA. His first three nominations all came in 2011 for “Inception,” for Best Picture (shared with Emma Thomas), Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. Nolan and Thomas lost Best Picture to “The King’s Speech,” while Nolan lost his writing bid to...

There’s a host again. Thank God, there’s a host again. Not three hosts, like at this March’s misbegotten Oscars ceremony. One host. And it’s the same host as the last time we had just one host, almost five years ago: Jimmy Kimmel.
After back-to-back emceeing gigs in 2017 and 2018, including during the infamous Best Picture mixup that resulted in the “La La Land” team temporarily handed statuettes that rightfully belonged to “Moonlight,” the Academy decided to go three straight Oscars ceremonies without a host at all. The hope was for a leaner, faster-paced ceremony.
That never happened.
Meanwhile, ratings for the ceremony kept going down with each year until hitting rock bottom for the odd Covid-impacted ceremony in 2021 that took place at Los Angeles’ Union Station and tried to create a Rick’s Cafe Americain vibe from “Casablanca.” The only problem? There was no Rick. And so...

The Brady organization against gun violence is calling on Hollywood writers, directors and producers to examine onscreen gun violence and depictions of gun safety, asking the creative community to sign a pledge that’s already garnered more than 200 signatures of such names as Judd Apatow, Shonda Rhimes, Damon Lindelof and Jimmy Kimmel and the writers of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The pledge, while noting that the “responsibility lies with lax gun laws supported by those politicians more afraid of losing power than saving lives,” acknowledges that “America’s storytellers” have the power to “effect change.”
“Cultural attitudes toward smoking, drunk driving, seatbelts and marriage equality have all evolved due in large part to movies’ and TV’s influence. It’s time to take on gun safety,” the Brady pledge states, and goes on to ask writers, directors and producers to, whenever possible, to:

In making a sequel to their 2020 Disney+ hit, Co-writer/director Julia Hart and her co-writer husband Jordan Horowitz have evidently completely departed from the novel sequel, which was titled Love, Stargirl. In that, Stargirl leaves Mica and moves to Pennsylvania, whereas here she (again played by Grace VaderWaal) and her mother Ana (Judy Greer) move to Hollywood when Ana gets a job designing costumes for a movie. On arrival, Stargirl meets Evan (Elijah Richardson) who, after hearing her sing, asks Stargirl to be in the ‘sizzle reel’ that he’s written and his brother Terrell (Tyrel Jackson Williams) is directing as a pitch for the film they want to make. While working on the film, Stargirl also meets Roxy (Uma Thurman), a musician who put out one album 25 years ago and her cantankerous neighbour Mr Mitchell (Judd Hirsch), who used to be a producer.

Don’t let the name fool you: Stargirl isn’t looking to break into the Hollywood stratosphere. Mostly, she’s looking for some friends beyond her harried mom and adorable pet rat Cinnamon. For a gal as charming as Stargirl, as good-hearted and caring as she is, that shouldn’t be too much to ask, right? In the world of “Hollywood Stargirl,” a brightly lit and candy-colored place that verges on the fairy tale — if only because everyone who populates it is also charming, good-hearted, and caring — it’s not, with some caveats, the kind happily wrapped up in a fanciful package.
Filmmaker Julia Hart follows her first “Stargirl” feature film — a 2020 Disney+ outing based on Jerry Spinelli’s bestselling YA novel of the same name — with . Picking up soon after the events of the first “Stargirl” concluded, “Hollywood Stargirl” finds our heroine again setting out on a new adventure.

Director Julia Hart has quietly crafted a Disney+ franchise that continues to unfold in creative and charming ways. Her adaptation of “Stargirl” debuted on the streamer just as lockdown began; now with “Hollywood Stargirl,” the second film in the series, it’s clear the writer-director’s voice has taken shape in the same assured way as that of her young heroine. Hart and co-writer Jordan Horowitz’s follow-up goes blessedly off-book, diverging greatly from author Jerry Spinelli’s source novel “Love, Stargirl” to deliver its own unique view on how artistic passion evolves and inspires. The sequel shifts perspective from the original, which captured the eponymous teen’s triumphs through a male protagonist’s lens, and better foregrounds her sparkle and shine.
Sentimental songbird Stargirl Caraway (Grace VanderWaal) is once again on the move, traveling from the subdued suburban haunts of Mica, Arizona to the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles.

The awards season’s narrative has been the “year of the women,” as female filmmakers, screenwriters and artisans have been making strong cases for nominations at the Oscars in categories like best picture and director. The Writers Guild of America Awards, however, might have missed the memo, only nominating four women over two films: Emerald Fennell for “Promising Young Woman” and Jena Friedman, Erica Rivinoja and Nina Pedrad, three co-writers from “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.”
In the three categories for original, adapted and documentary feature, 31 total screenwriters were nominated, four of which are women, and three come from the same feature film.
Many high-profile contenders were not eligible for recognition, including “Nomadland” (Chloé Zhao) and “Pieces of a Woman” (Kata Wéber), along with independent darlings like “The Assistant” (Kitty Green), “Farewell Amor” (Ekwa Msangi) and “Herself” (Clare Dunne). Despite this fact, there were still many to choose from.

‘I’m Your Woman’ Cast & Creators On Flipping The ’70s Female Crime Drama Archetype – Contenders Film
For all the praise of how great ’70s cinema was, when you come to think about it, many of the great crime classics like Straight Time, The Godfather and Thief were all testosterone-driven, with female characters resigned to second- or third-class status. Unfortunate, considering an era known for its sense of revolution.
Such was the jumping off point for Julia Hart’s Amazon Studios movie I’m Your Woman. which she co-wrote with her Oscar-nominated La La Land producer husband Jordan Horowitz. The movie stars Rachel Brosnahan as the wife of a gangster who, after his disappearance, is forced to go on the lam with their baby, who is stolen, and the Black bodyguard (Arinzé Kene) who is protecting her.
“We were watching a bunch of ’70s and early ’80s crime drama around the time we also became parents,'” Hart says during the movie’s panel at Deadline’s Contenders Film awards-season event,...

Exclusive: Crime kings may have graced the screen in a number of cinema’s greatest titles but director Julia Hart flips the script to spotlight the women behind the gritty antiheroes with I’m Your Woman.
Written by Hart and husband and Oscar-nominated La La Land scribe Jordan Horowitz, I’m Your Woman follows Jean (Rachel Brosnahan), a suburban housewife who lives a seemingly easy life supported by her husband Eddie’s (Bill Heck) career as a thief. Life takes a turn for the worst when Eddie betrays his partners, sending Jean and her baby off on a perilous journey under the supervision and safekeeping of Eddie’s old friend Cal (Arinzé Kene).
But even in the company of Cal and his wife Teri (Marsha Stephanie Blake), Jean and her child are far from safe. Teri and Jean team up to get to the bottom of things, taking matters into their own hands.

Over the course of four films, Julia Hart and Jordan Horowitz have carved out a unique niche: bending both genre and expectations to craft stories that break the mold of what a “female-centric” story can (and should) look like. From superheroes to high school students, the women that populate the couple’s films — which Hart directs from scripts the couple write together — find drama and emotion in unexpected, and often otherwise untapped places. All of that is by design.
“With all of our movies, it’s something that we think about a lot, making female characters feel like real women, as opposed to a female character that fits into a formula that everybody is comfortable with,” Hart said in a recent interview with IndieWire.
While other films and filmmakers might be hung up on building stories around easily digestible and readily recognizable formulas, Hart and Horowitz relish the chance to...

“You write one action line, but there’s so many different things that an actor can do with that,” explains “I’m Your Woman” director Julia Hart about how relatively little Rachel Brosnahan speaks in the lead role of the crime drama for Amazon. Hart continues, “I love writing dialogue, but it was really fun exploring how much she could mine through a myriad of facial expressions from one line of action in the script.”
SEEour chat with “I’m Your Woman” star Marsha Stephanie Blake.
Speaking to Gold Derby in an exclusive interview (watch the video above) after the 1970s-set film became available to stream on Amazon Prime, Hart opens up about the fate of the couple played by Marsha Stephanie Blake and Arinzé Kene and whether she wavered on it. “No, that was always so important,” reveals Hart. She also now delves into what went into incorporating two specific preexisting songs into the film.

I’m Your Woman is a new 70s set, crime thriller that features Rachel Brosnahan in the leading roles, as a movie that balances a feminist edge with the socio-political context of the era, as a film, primarily, about motherhood. To mark the release we had the pleasure of speaking to the writer/director Julia Hart (who co-penned the screenplay with her husband Jordan Horowitz), as well as the film’s supporting lead Arinzé Kene. We discussed the film’s themes and the importance, particularly where the black experience is concerned, to conduct thorough research and speak to those who could help inform that aspect of the narrative. We also chat about the brilliant soundtrack and also both talents discuss the collaboration with Brosnahan, while we also ask Kene about another co-star he’s worked with, as he talks about the rise of friend Michaela Coel. Watch both interviews with Kene and Hart,...

So, are you a film fan that gets a bit of seasonal movie overload this time of year? You’re thinking, “Enough with the couples making ‘goo-goo’ eyes while whipping up a snowman!” or perhaps, with all that’s happening you can’t get your “jolly” on. In the mood for a gritty action thriller, set in those “down and dirty” 1970s, complete with pistol-packin’ polyester-wearing thugs? Well, Santa’s cinema elves have fashioned a stocking-stuffer just for you. So, is this a follow-up to the crime epic from last year’s holiday season, with more “digitally de-aged” Bobby D and Al P? Nope, it’s not needed this time around, because the lead is one of our newer rising stars, though she’s best known as the lead in a celebrated TV sitcom. Her? This gets a bit more interesting. What happens amidst the usual gangster mayhem when she...

Rachel Brosnahan stars as a young wife and mother who has almost no idea where she’s going next in Amazon’s “I’m Your Woman,” and director Julia Hart excitingly puts the audience in a similarly unpredictable position. It’s a road trip, it’s a story of a woman in trouble, and it’s about fleeing the scene of the crime, but the film refuses to follow the established path audiences might be expecting.
Many contemporary filmmakers shoot for that gritty yet personal sweet spot of 1970s “New Hollywood” honesty and intensity, but few have captured it with the finesse of Hart, who shares screenwriting credit with her husband Jordan Horowitz. A talented filmmaker who’s not being talked about nearly enough — her last two credits were the incisive and humane “Miss Stevens” and the arthouse superhero saga “Fast Color,” both acclaimed yet underseen — Hart has created a film...

Jean (Rachel Brosnahan) is sullen and vacant. Staring out behind geometric sunglasses, she rests on a lawn chair in a sheer magenta robe, cigarette in hand, the epitome of the young, begrudging Seventies housewife and the stuff Lana Del Rey videos are made of. We’re given hints to the exact nature of Jean’s domestic life: Her husband Eddie (Bill Heck) leaves her alone at home throughout the day, his life of crime largely a mystery to her other than its existence; the couple wanted to have kids, “but...

In her writing (The Keeping Room) and the bulk of her four co-writer/director credits to date Julia Hart has set out her stall as a storyteller who frames stories that we might more traditionally see from a male point of view through a female protagonist. In this case that story is a 70s set crime thriller about Jean (Rachel Brosnahan), who is forced to go on the run with her baby—or rather, the one her husband Eddie (Bill Heck) brought home a few weeks ago—and Cal (Arinzé Kene), a man she doesn’t know, after Eddie betrays the criminal gang he’s part of.
Most other tellings of this story would, indeed have, revolve around the man. We’d see what Eddie did, first to get the baby and then to upset his crew. We’d know how Cal became the person to find Jean a safe house and to protect her,...

Is Oscar next for Rachel Brosnahan? The “Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” star’s new film “I’m Your Woman” will officially enter the awards race when it qualifies for Oscar consideration with a limited theatrical release beginning Friday, Dec. 4, having premiered at the AFI Fest in October as the opening screening of the 2020 virtual event. The drama from Amazon will then be available for streaming on Prime Instant Video a week later on Dec. 11.
Brosnahan stars as Jean, who is sent on the run with her baby when her husband finds himself in hot water with his criminal associates. Jean is assisted in her action-packed journey by married couple Cal and Teri, played by Arinzé Kene and Emmy nominee Marsha Stephanie Blake, respectively.
The screenplay by director Julia Hart and her husband Jordan Horowitz is a response to the “wife” trope in mob movies that instead focus their narratives on the husbands as antiheroes.

“I just wanted to take one of my most favorite and beloved genres of all time and tell the woman’s story inside of it,” writer-director Julia Hart told the Hollywood Reporter about I’m Your Woman, her spin on 1970s crime dramas. The film—which is set in the ‘70s, as well as adopting the cinematic aesthetic of the period—stars Rachel Brosnahan as housewife Jean, who is sent to a safe house with her baby after her criminal husband becomes a target. We’ve seen this story from the husband’s point of view a million times, women like Jean relegated to the sidelines and rarely revisited once they’re sent away. It’s a welcome perspective shift; unfortunately, Hart’s slow burn doesn’t have enough fuel to grab your attention beyond an intriguing premise.

Despite winning an Emmy, a SAG Award, and two Golden Globes for her performance in the streaming blockbuster series “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” it’s taken Rachel Brosnahan three years to finally topline a feature film. This was partially due to “Maisel’s” lengthy production schedule, but considering her busy film career before the Amazon series hit, it’s still slightly eyebrow-raising. No matter though, Brosnahan won’t have to play second fiddle for the foreseeable future after her impressive turn in Julia Hart’s directorial effort, “I’m Your Woman.”

More than a month has passed since the main theater chains restarted operations in the US, and some have already shut back down. On October 5, Cineworld, the UK-based parent company of Regal Cinemas, the second largest theater chain in the US, announced that it would temporarily close its 663 theaters in both countries. The move followed yet another postponement of the release of No Time to Die, now scheduled for April 2, 2021 (a year after it was originally set to premiere). The latest Bond is one of many blockbusters to be delayed by Covid, and the movie draught raises concerns on the very survival of the theatrical experience. Will moviegoing as we knew it before the pandemic ever come back?Cineworld’s temporary closure is already quite telling. “If the studios continue postponing all their releases, the movie theaters aren’t going to be there for those postponed releases,” John Fithian, chief...

It’s an annual ritual of awards season that comes around every fall: The American Film Institute’s AFI Fest arrives, studios bring out their awards movies to showcase them in front of a Hollywood audience, and every big premiere begins at least half an hour late because there’s lots of mingling, talking and speech-making before the movie starts.
Almost all of those things happened on Thursday night, as the 2020 AFI Fest kicked off with the opening-night world premiere of Amazon’s “I’m Your Woman,” the Rachel Brosnahan-led twist on ’70s crime movies directed and co-written by Julia Hart. The movie drew a capacity crowd, AFI president and CEO Bob Gazzale offered a welcoming speech, the filmmakers and cast raised a toast and talked about their movie, and it wasn’t until almost 8:40 that the film scheduled for 8:00 actually began.

You’ll be halfway through “I’m Your Woman” before its premise is clear, but the mystery is as gripping as its payoff. Director Julia Hart’s fourth feature pairs an engrossing turn from Rachel Brosnahan with a tense ‘70s-set script constructed with jigsaw precision. The full picture may amount to a contrived gangster story, but Hart (who scripted with her partner Jordan Horowitz) approaches that formula from the inside out.
“I’m Your Woman” owes much to Brosnahan’s evolving performance as she goes from terrified housewife to trenchant survivalist over the course movie, and the movie consolidates the strengths of Hart’s previous work. Like her breakout Civil War script “The Keeping Room,” it finds women trapped in a man’s world, and forced to resort to violence as a means of escape. And like the lo-fi superhero drama “Fast Color,” its heroine goes on the lam before she truly understands what’s chasing her,...

Is it over yet? Not quite. Amazon will say farewell to 2020 with Yearly Departed, a new comedy special hosted by comedian Phoebe Robinson (2 Dope Queens) and executive produced by The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel‘s Rachel Brosnahan, who will also appear. Yearly Departed will premiere this winter exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. The special hails from Amazon Studios and Done + Dusted.
Per Amazon, Yearly Departed is a series of eulogies for the year 2020, where a lineup of all-women comedians will deliver everything from casual sex to beige Band-Aids and everything in between that we’ve “lost” in 2020. After a year of societal upheaval, plague, murder hornets and banana bread, Yearly Departed will give 2020 the huge send-off it deserves, from some of the world’s funniest women.

After three Emmy-winning seasons of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” Amazon has figured out nobody can work a period costume like Rachel Brosnahan. While “Mrs. Maisel” made Brosnahan a household face, she has yet to break out on the film side in the same way. While she’s appeared in films by Craig Gillespie and Joachim Trier, Brosnahan is leading the crime thriller “I’m Your Woman,” which positions her as a mob wife who becomes unwittingly embroiled in her husband’s affairs. “I’m Your Woman” is the opening night film of the upcoming AFI Fest, and Amazon has released a first trailer in anticipation of the film’s festival debut.
