Entries in Jesse Eisenberg (22)

This post is titled by the middle names of Oscar's BEST ACTOR nominees because here at The Film Experience we are always trying to find ways to keep things interesting. It would be much easier to title this blog post "Javier Bardem, Jeff Bridges, Jesse Eisenberg, James Franco and Colin Firth" but where's the fun in that? If you enjoy a challenge, try to guess which middle name goes with which best actor, before you click over to the BEST ACTOR PAGE.


I include the trivia (and more) because this race is a done deal yet we have to stay interested for nine more days. Colin Firth's Coronation is proceeding exactly like Helen Mirren's a few years back, isn't it? It's like I was saying in that Tribeca Film article, each year there's generally one candidate who is granted immunity about whom no one ever bitches and who just sails through like it was always meant to be their year and their prize.

UPDATED: Includes Reader Poll "Who Should Win?"

Podcast: Oscar Switches, Summer Dreams

See?

We are trying to get weekly. We recorded the new podcast early this week (included at the end of this post) as today I knew I would be all wrapped up in a wedding. Well, attending one that is. But you know how time consuming they are. It was a lovely snowy Connecticut wedding and I'm just back. So here is the new podcast. There's a bit of a lull in Oscar happenings as we wait for the big night, so this week, Joe and Katey and I go a little more Off-Gold than usual. 

Topics include:

  • Chris Nolan (Inception and a brief Memento cameo)
  • The Jesse Eisenberg Show 
  • Spirit Award Best Actress ballot. Could there be a Natalie Portman upset?
  • The success of the Best Picture field at the box office
  • Our individual least favorite Best Picture nominees (surprising results!)
  • Toy Story 3. Is it a great movie or just a great 15 year narrative?
  • Oscar Narratives. Reading purpose.
  • Super 8 and Superbowl trailers
  • Crushing on Michael Fassbender
  • Nostalgia for Harrison Ford
  • Reese Witherspoon: "Think about your choices, lady!"
  • Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher
