Ever since the beginning of this year’s awards season, Nomadland cemented its status as one of the front-runners and it was expected to walk away with several trophies come Oscar night. Its triumph at the Academy Awards was as brilliant as expected, and it eventually collected a total of three awards.

Nomadland was crowned as the biggest winner of the night when it walked away with the best picture Oscar, but this wasn’t its only big victory. Chloé Zhao became the first woman of color and only the second female filmmaker to win the best director award, while Frances McDormand collected her third best actress Oscar.

Zhao and McDormand weren’t the only ones making history at this year’s Oscars. Anthony Hopkins picked up the best actor trophy for his performance in The Father, becoming the oldest winner in this category. Youn Yuh-jung (Minari) made history as the first Korean woman to win the Oscar for the best-supporting actress, while Daniel Kaluuya won the best-supporting actor award for his portrayal of Fred Hampton in Judas and the Black Messiah.

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Sound of Metal, Soul, and Mank were also amongst the major winners, with two trophies each, mostly in technical categories. Emerald Fennell also had a reason to celebrate after picking up the Oscar for the best original screenplay for Promising Young Woman, while Thomas Vinterberg’s Another Round was crowned as the best international feature film.

The 93rd Academy Awards aired from Union Station and Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on April 25th.

Love him or not, you cannot deny he has style. Wes Anderson is back with a new movie, The French Dispatch, and the new trailer boasts a list of stars filling the roster.

Among them you’ll find names such as Saoirse Ronan, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, Adrien Brody, Benicio Del Toro, Jeffrey Wright, Léa Seydoux, and Timothée Chalamet.

The movie, which will premiere on July 24th, 2020, has a complicated plot.

“[It’s about an] American journalist based in France [who] creates his magazine. It is more a portrait of this man, of this journalist who fights to write what he wants to write. It’s not a movie about freedom of the press, but when you talk about reporters you also talk about what’s going on in the real world,” Anderson said.

The film’s release date hints at a possible premiere at the 2020 Cannes Film Festival – a festival that Anderson has not participated in since 2012’s Moonrise Kingdom.  His last two films debuted at the Berlin Film Festival.

We finally have an idea about Wes Anderson’s long-awaited upcoming film!

The Grand Budapest Hotel director announced in August last year that he would write and direct a musical film set in France, post-World War II.

Sounds whacky enough for Anderson.

Fox Searchlight has now acquired the worldwide rights to the film, entitled The French Dispatch, and has described it as “a love letter to journalists set in an outpost of an American newspaper in a fictional 20th-century French city that brings to life a collection of stories published in The French Dispatch magazine.”

“We are excited to dive back into the unmistakable and entirely original world of Wes Anderson,” said the chairmen of Fox Searchlight Pictures, Steve Gilula and Nancy Utley, in a statement. “Our collaborations with Wes in the past have been exceptional, and we’re thrilled to be back working with him and the Indian Paintbrush team on The French Dispatch.

Anderson will once again team up with his favorite actors for the film, including Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, Benicio Del Toro, Jeffrey Wright, Adrien Brody, Timothée Chalamet, Léa Seydoux, Mathieu Amalric, Lyna Khoudri, Stephen Park, and Owen Wilson.

The French Dispatch is expected in 2020.

The pair has signed on to appear in Wes Anderson’s new film set in the European country which is currently in production.

The director’s 10 full-length production will be entitled The French Dispatch and has been described as a “love letter to journalists” and set at an American newspaper outpost in Paris.

The film will follow 3 separate storylines across several time periods.

Anderson will be calling on old favorites as part of his cast, including Bill Murray (The Life Aquatic), Tilda Swinton (The Grand Budapest Hotel), and Frances McDormand (Moonrise Kingdom).

They will be joined by Chalamet, Del Toro, and Jeffrey Wright, while Brad Pitt, Lea Seydoux, and Natalie Portman are also rumored to be in negotiations.

Hands off Oscar!

Typically, when it is claimed that someone was “robbed of an Oscar”, it means something a little different than this…

You’d think that on Hollywood’s biggest night, with security — and paparazzi — swarming around, it would probably be a rather bad idea to try to commit a crime.

But, one guy definitely had the gall to attempt anyway.

Once all the winners have been announced and the acceptance speeches made at the Oscars ceremony itself, the industry’s elite makes their way to the Governors Ball to party the night away.

The little statuettes which have been won just a few hours before usually join the festivities, as stars mingle with each other and take selfies with Hollywood’s most famous man.

Best Actress winner, Frances McDormand, almost had her little guy snatched away, however, when she set him down for a minute whilst talking to someone.

The photographer for chef Wolfgang Puck, who always caters the annual event, caught the potential thief in the act and took back the Oscar. The assailant — now identified as Terry Bryant — then left the party after Frances said to let him go, before being arrested for grand theft.

If anyone spots this guy, please give him a Razzie instead…
