WITH
WITH LOTS
WITH LOTS OF SUNSHINE? >> WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING
TO BE TALKING ABOUT ALL NIGHT,
KATHY.
KATHY.
KATHY. THANKS.
THANKS.
THANKS. >>> THE OSCARS ARE SUNDAY IN
LOS ANGELES, WE ARE EXCITED.
TOM KNOWS MORE ABOUT THESE,
THAT IS WHY WE ARE JOINED BY
BRETT ERICKSON AT THE DENVER
FILM SOCIETY.
FILM SOCIETY. SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM
AND SOME OF THE TOP CATEGORIES
AND WHAT SHE HAS HER EYE ON
THIS WEEK.
>>
>> BECAUSE, WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.
THE THE CATEGORIES, HOW ABOUT
BEST ACTOR, BECAUSE THAT IS
ALWAYS A BIG ONE.
IS THERE A FAVORITE IN THAT?
>> I THINK THERE ARE SOME GREAT
PERFORMANCES IN THAT CATEGORY,
BUT OFTEN YOU WILL SEE WITH THE
ACADEMY AWARDS THAT A CAREER
GETS RECOGNIZED RATHER THAN
JUST A PERFORMANCE.
CLEARLY, GLENN CLOSE IS GOING
TO TAKE HOME THAT STATUETTE FOR
THE WIFE.
THE WIFE.
THE WIFE. NOT THE GREATEST FILM IN THE
WORLD, BUT A FILM THAT TOOK HER
A REALLY LONG TIME TO MAKE
BECAUSE NOBODY WANTED TO PLAY
SECOND FIDDLE.
SECOND FIDDLE. THERE IS NO AFTER THAT WANTED
TO PLAY THE HUSBAND BECAUSE IT
IS A VERY FEMALE CENTRIC STORY.
SHE IS THE MOST NOMINATED
ACTRESS TO HAVE NEVER ONE WITH
THE SEVEN NOMINATIONS.
I THINK THIS IS THE YEAR THAT
THE ACADEMY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT.
>> IT IS A HEAVYWEIGHT FIELD
FOR BEST ACTOR ALSO.
THERE ARE A LOT OF VERY FAMOUS
AND HIGHLY REGARDED ACTORS.
IS THERE ONE THAT JUMPS OUT?
>> IF IT WAS A POPULARITY
CONTEST WE WOULD GIVE TO
BRADLEY COOPER, RIGHT?
BUT, THAT IS NOT GOING TO
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN. I
HAPPEN. I THINK IT IS GOING TO GO TO
ROMAINE MALIK FROM BOHEMIAN
RHAPSODY AND THAT WILL BE THE
ONLY AWARD TO COME OUT OF THAT.
I KNOW IT IS A VERY POPULAR
FILM BUT I THINK A LOT MORE
PEOPLE HAVE SEEN BUT HE GIVES
AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE.
HE GIVES A GREAT GOLDEN GLOBE
SPEECH.
SPEECH.
SPEECH. >> HE DID.
HE REALLY DID.
THAT IS RIGHT WHEN THEY WERE
VOTING AT THE ACADEMY AWARDS.
>> AND, SOME FAMILIAR NAMES UP
FOR BEST DIRECTOR?
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING THERE?
>> BEST DIRECTOR ACTUALLY HAS
SOME INTERESTING NAMES ALSO.
WE HAVE SPIKE LEE.
>> FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE
NAME IS FAMILIAR, BUT --
>> THEY PROBABLY OWE HIM BEFORE
THE DO THE RIGHT THING, THEY
SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING BY
SPIKE LEE AND GIVE IT TO SPIKE
LEE.
LEE.
LEE. I
LEE. I THINK THAT THE LEADING
CONTENDER FOR BEST DIRECTOR
DIRECTED ROMA. BUT, YOU HAVE
AN INTERESTING THING HAPPENING
WITH BEST DIRECTOR CATEGORY
BECAUSE YOU HAVE COLD WAR,
WHICH IS ACTUALLY NOT NOMINATED
FOR BEST PICTURE, IT IS
NOMINATED FOR BEST FOREIGN
LANGUAGE.
LANGUAGE.
LANGUAGE. BUT ROMA IS ALSO NOMINATED FOR
BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE.
I THINK WHAT YOU WILL SEE IN
THE FORM IN WHICH AND THE BEST
PICTURES THE SPLIT.
I THINK THAT YOU WILL SEE THE
ACADEMY GO WITH A FOREIGN
LANGUAGE FILM IN THE FOREIGN
LANGUAGE CATEGORY OF COLD WAR,
BUT NOT ROMA IN THAT CATEGORY.
BUT, ROMA AS -- I THINK THAT
ROMA GOES HOME WITH BEST
PICTURE AND BEST DIRECTOR.
>> WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IF ROMA
DOES WHEN BEST PICTURE?
BECAUSE, OBVIOUSLY WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT A DIFFERENT
DELIVERY, NONSTANDARD, OR WHAT
WE NORMALLY SEE IS A BIG
THEATER RELEASE.
THEATER RELEASE. THIS ONE WAS DELIVERED A
DIFFERENT WAY.
DIFFERENT WAY. >> YEAH, IT RAISES INTERESTING
THINGS .1, IT WOULD BE THE
FIRST, THEY ARE SAYING THE
FIRST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM TO
EVER WIN BEST PICTURE OUTSIDE
OF THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE
CATEGORY, ALTHOUGH THE ARTIST
WAS ACTUALLY A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
IT WAS SILENT, IT WAS A
FRENCH PRODUCTION, THE
DISMISSED THAT IN THE REPORTING
THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING ABOUT
THE FIRST-EVER FORMING WHICH
PHONE.
PHONE.
PHONE. THE OTHER THING THAT WOULD BE
INTERESTING IS THIS WHOLE
NETFLIX -- RIGHT?
AND, THAT MIGHT BE THE ONLY
BACKLASH TO HAPPEN WITH VOTERS
AND REAL CENTER FILES, MEMBERS
OF THE ACADEMY WHO MIGHT NOT
FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD BE SEEING
ON THE BIG SCREEN ROMA DID DO
A RUN THEATRICALLY, PEOPLE DID
GET TO SEE IT.
BUT, HE ALSO WAS ABLE TO GET
THIS FILM MADE BECAUSE OF THAT
SO I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
THE FACT THAT NETFLIX FINANCES
FILM BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE IT
WOULD GET MADE OTHERWISE AND WE
WOULD NOT GET TO SEE IT.
>> AND A LOT MORE WILL SEE IF
IT IS A -- IF IT IS IN FACT A
BEST PICTURE.
BEST PICTURE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I WILL WEAR
YET.
YET.
YET. I'M
YET. I'M WORKING ON IT.
>> AND YOU?
>> I WILL BE SITTING IN SWEATS
SOMEWHERE WATCHING IT AT HOME,
IT WILL
