We've already talked Tony Presenters & Performances so let's delve into predictions for the show this Sunday night on CBS.
Best Musical Bright Star (REVIEWED) Hamilton School of Rock Shuffle Along Waitress
Will Win: Hamilton in a cakewalk though Shuffle Along has ardent fans so it probably would have won in a year without a juggernaut like Hamilton.
Best Play Eclipsed by Danai Gurira -- closes June 19th King Charles III by Mike Bartlett - already closed The Father by Florian Zeller (REVIEWED) The Humans by Stephen Karam
Will Win: The Humans has been nabbing all the precursor prizes so it's got the momentum. Possible Spoiler: ...if there's a surprise look to Eclipsed
Oscars Cometh Awards DailyLove and Mercy is pulling out all the stops for their Oscar campaign including Brian Wilson concerts Twitter everyone is excited that Mad Max Fury Road is getting an Oscar campaign but most hits get this treatment even the ones that have no chance. Academy ConversationsTruth is on the campaign trail, too with this recent conversation in NYC. Pssst. I believe NY's BAFTA chapter also hosted a screening just last night at the theater I was in (though I was there for a different movie) NYT Style "The Gonzo Vision of Quentin Tarantino" like Matt Damon before him he might do his latest Oscar campaign good by just shutting up. In this new profile he infuriates a lot of people with his anger about his racial criticisms of his work and even has the nerve to be chauvinistically condescending about Kathryn Bigelow's beating him at the Oscars
Look, it was exciting that a woman had made such a good war film..."
General Linkage Variety WOW. Meryl Streep, who has never really been a film festival queen like some respected actors will be president of the Berlinale jury in 2016. It's her FIRST film festival jury. Naturally she starts at the top as president of an A list fest AV Club on a fun new instagram movie/tv mocking account "Night Lotion" LOL EW a roundtable with the creatives behind Aladdin for its Blu-ray release TFE did you vote on our Aladdin inspired poll? The Tracking Board collects all the recent Jennifer Lawrence news... which is a lot and frankly we don't have the strength this week. Can we talk about any other actress for a change? She doesn't even have a movie out right now. Can we at least wait for her to be in movie theaters again? Gothamist Lena Dunham's next HBO series in development is called Max about magazines and second-wave feminism in the 1960s Guardian Sir John Hurt's given the all-clear from doctors after his chemo for cancer. Yay! Guardian in extremely confusing Hollyweird news Paramount is developing a remake of The Ten Commandments (1956). Didnt they notice all the money lost on the last one (Ridley Scott's Exodus)? Vulture goes to the set of The Knick NYT Playboy magazine will no longer feature nudity but tone down their pictorials to "suggestive" EW want to be naked with Miley Cyrus and The Flaming Lips? Everyone gets naked (including the audience) for the video for "The Milky Milky Milk" /Film on recent Marvel news - the biggest of which is that Hulk will co-star in Thor: Ragnarok Playbill interviews the huge stage talent Danny Burstein. He is really remarkable on stage but has a low profile on film and TV. I was pleased to see him pop up recently in The Family Fang and Blackhat albeit in tiny roles. If only they were making great screen musicals and casting appropriately. Pajiba collects the best tweets from the Democratic Debate last night. Some really funny ones here Variety Julianne Moore lead Hollywood committee fighting for gun violence prevention
*throws rice* Finally, congratulations to Victor Garber (Alias, Titanic, Argo,The Flash). He married his boyfriend of 16 years, the artist Rainer Andreesen this week. They eloped apparently. Photo via Rainer's instagram
