Two men focusing on their own identities. Two women speaking to their relationship with their husbands. For day two of the Venice film festival it was a quartet of movies featuring personal intimate stories...

Finding myself in the mood for animation, I quickly binged two of the animated categories before the Creative Arts Emmys any moment now. Herewith some thoughts and predictions on the animation programs...
Friday, September 2, 2022 at 3:52PM Two more official Oscar submissions to report bringing us to a dozen competitors. Only about 80 films to go! It's starting to feel exciting, isn't it? At least it is for us here at TFE since we love the diversity and eye-opening capabilities of this category. The latest countries to choose their films are Japan and Latvia.
🇯🇵 PLAN 75
Japan (14 nominations, 2 wins, 3 honorary awards, and 1 additional finalist from 69 submissions)

The 79th Venice Film Festival's second day was a busy one with two premieres by directors who've managed to seduce critics and the Academy alike. First, Alejandro González Iñárritu came to the Lido with his most ambitious project yet, the epic Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths, whose production history is embroiled in many controversies. Then, there was also Todd Field's long-awaited return to the big screen after a decade plus sabsence. TÁR is the director's third feature and feels poised to delight actressexuals in similar ways to his debut and sophomore efforts. So far, Cate Blanchett has received nothing but glowing reviews and might become the third Field leading lady to nab an Oscar nomination.
Let's remember both directors' debuts to celebrate these buzzy premieres. Frankly, as much as I may admire some of their following efforts, Amores Perros and In the Bedroom remain my favorite titles from their filmographies…

Lee Jung-Jae won this category at the SAG Awards. Could he pull off a similar feat at the Emmys?
It’s a battle between old and new. The men of Succession face off against each other, while promising newcomers hope to sneak in and take the win. In particular, Lee Jung-jae (Squid Game), who won this prize at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Adam Scott is a wild card for Severance, which earned fourteen nominations for its first season. Add in a couple of men contending for their show’s final season (or at least first half of a final season) and you have yourself a real race. Jeremy Strong is the only previous winner in this particular category, though Jason Bateman has an Emmy as well. Will Strong prevail again, or will one of his challengers overthrow him?
