Feinberg & Friends
Tuesday, November 1, 2011 at 8:29PM Scott Feinberg started a podcast at the Hollywood Reporter a month back. Each week he has a different guest and it's yours truly this week. I haven't listened to it but, then, I was there during the recording so that should count. (I have the same mundane problem as most of the verbal world in that I hate hearing my own voice. Editing my own podcast --returning soon-- is enough torture in that department.)
We're discussing Best Picture, Costume Design, actresses who bare it all for the gold man, the double-supporting-actress nomination, and category placements for Carnage (everyone has officially gone supporting!) among other quick topics. Have a listen...
Thank you to Scott at the Hollywood Reporter for the conversation. We always love to talk Oscar.

I don't think everyone hates the sound of their own voice. For example, I love talking to myself.
I wonder.. what is the average person's opinion of their genitals? I mean, would we hear more "I hate my d**k/p**sy" or more "I like/love etc" ?
Yeah, I'm drunk. Why do I always post here when I'm drunk? Drunk drunk drunk...
I know, I'm almost deliberately not-funny...
Off to hear the podcast.
your voice sounds good
So the question everyone's waiting for: how was J.Edgar?
So surely Nat. Not to worry, your voice sounds great. Just the echo is bit off.
Volvagia, the point Nat is making is that almost everyone hates hearing the sound of one's own recorded voice. It's totally different from listening to yourself when you're talking.
I was on air in radio for 20+ years, and never got used to hearing recordings of myself on the air.
Bill - exactly. I tend to think my speaking voice is quite pleasant (and others have certainly told me that) but my recorded voice? Argh, dear god no. To my ears it suddenly seems terribly "unfeminine" (as if that's important?) Interestingly a friend of mine who also has a lovely voice, to me (somewhat sultry I think) also thinks her recorded voice is "unfeminine".
Which actually gives me a little empathy when someone like Nicole Kidman says she can't stand to see herself onscreen. People laugh about that when she says it, but if hearing oneself is horrid enough - hearing and seeing oneself enlarged on the big screen? Yeah, I think I get her discomfort now.
Sorry for hijacking the thread, I swear I'm listening to the podcast right now....
the comparison of Tilda's chances this year to her chances the past two years is an odd one considering how much more exposure Kevin has, how better the reviews are, and so far, judging from the UK, how much more money it makes.
Evan- People want to hear how J. Edgar is?? After that trailer hit, there's just a heavy ambivalence online, isn't there?
Jack- Julia had a critical rallying cry, even if it went nowhere. And I Am Love was in the foreign film race and got the costume nomination. ...Kevin is still totally off the map, and those supporting Tilda don't even seem as enamored of her (or the movie) as they have been previously. She might be in the Top 10, but it's a very tough road for this nomination (as usual).
Jack & Jake -- the thing with this Tilda is that it's a lot less accessible than I Am Love. It's closer to Julia in terms of being an alienating experience. She's very good as usual but a nomination would really surprise me.
Evan -- embargo. I'm not allowed to talk about it.
I don't get the embargo thing, Nat (and I know you've mentioned it in connection with other films you've been able to screen early via the studios). It's "we'll show the writers, the bloggers, the critics and tastemakers who can get the word out and influence opinion and buzz, but they can't talk or write about it until after it comes out." Hello? Then what's the point of the early screenings if you can't talk about it? (Or are these more along the line of test screenings: we're checking to see how this plays and if we need to do a hatchet job on the director's vision to make it play to the masses...." whatever.)
