Inside the Dolby. AFI Fest Begins!

Anne Marie and I had a stupendous time tonight at the premiere of A Most Violent Year which we were  mpressed by: tense, gorgeously shot, with a fiery Jessica Chastain and an ice cool Oscar Isaac. I'll tell you about it tomorrow. But for now -pics & tweets.

(We got there early and couldn't resist geeking out a bit inside The Dolby, the home of Hollywood's High Holy Night each year, The Oscars. [More photos after the jump]

I am inside the Dolby, land of Hollywood's High Holy Night. Streep is amused.

Will be at the Egyptian on Saturday for sure.

Ah, the first pic is so cute. Looking forward to your review of AMVY. I was a very big fan of J.C. Chandor's first two films.

Slightly OT: Interstellar is NOT happening. Sorry, but a sci-fi movie with less than 80% on Rotten Tomatoes and heavily reported sound mixing problems in IMAX? Yeeeeeeeeah, revise that.

The 2nd pic is so cute. What movies are on your schedule, Nat?

[NATHANIEL R]

Drew - i'm playing it by ear since I'm taking whatever meetings and interviews I can get.

[brookesboy]

I wish I could meet Jessica Chastain (ahhhh) and Oscar Isaac (swoon).

[Henry]

That first pic. Our little Nat has gone Hollywood on us.

Enjoy yourself and give us lots of news so we can enjoy ourselves through you.

Anne Marie, great shoes.

Nat, what do you make of the story that Nolan won't let Chastain campaign for AMVY (not including the AFI premiere), only Interstellar?

Anne Marie is cute! Nice to put a face to the name that writes all those great Kate Hepburn articles.

Also, please be sure to clarify if Chastain is leading or supporting in the movie. I've read some articles over at HitFix that she's clearly supporting, and that the studios are fighting over where to put her.

[NATHANIEL R]

BVR - she will be campaigned supporting. I spoke to A24 about it last night.

[Glenn Close]

She's laughing at you, kid!
