后查rles Melton’swinat the Gotham Awards earlier this week, theMay Decemberteam is not resting. There was a BAFTA screening of the film yesterday in New York with director Todd Haynes, Julianne Moore, Melton, and Natalie Portman.
The schedule of special screenings and Q&As is insanely tight this year due to the strike delays, the day before, BAFTA also hosted a screening forAll of Us Strangerswith director Andrew Haigh and stars Andrew Scott and Jamie Bell (Paul Mescal wasn’t there, presumably because he’s due in Malta next week to resume filmingGladiator 2).
We haven’t talked a lot aboutAll of Us Strangersyet—it doesn’t open until the end of December in North America, and the end of January in the UK—but likePast LivesandMay December, it’s a smaller film loaded with talent vying with the numerous high-profile prestige dramas this year for a spot at the Oscars. In a weird twist, it’s very possibleStrangersends up with a Best Picture nomination whileMay Decembermisses that but gets at least one acting nomination, for Melton. This feels like a year where the big films will all get like, ten nominations (or more), but the smaller films will split votes amongst themselves for whatever leftover spots the high-profile stuff doesn’t devour.
That’s why the ensembles of these smaller films are working so hard. Every appearance, every handshake, every headline counts. It’s about getting your film, your name, to stick in the minds of voters, especially if your film isn’t one of the nine-figure blockbuster dramas out this year.May Decemberhas been riding high on the charm of Charles Melton recently. I wonder whenAll of Us Strangers将释放保罗麦斯卡尔酒?
