After the shortlist announcement we had to cram in some quick research on the shorts categories. Live action short might prove rather starry because one of the ten stars Tilda Swinton (The Human Voice) and another stars Oscar Isaac and Alia Shawkat (The Letter Room). Most of the filmmakers behind this years 30 finalist shorts (across the 3 categories) would be receiving their first nominations but there are a few previous Oscar players in the mix too: Skye Fitzgerald (Hunger Ward, doc short), Pedro Almodovar (The Human Voice, live action short), Max Lang (Snail and the Whale, animated short)
We'll discuss each category in its own post as we approach the Academy's nomination ballot week (which is still almost a month away if you can believe it!) but in the meantime all the charts are freshly updated...
ACTRESS | ACTOR | SUPP' ACTRESS | SUPP' ACTOR |
SCREENPLAYS | VISUAL | SOUND |
ANIMATED & DOCUMENTARY | INTERNATIONAL FEATURE

Sunday, December 6, 2020 at 8:30AM We announced on twitter that we were going to quit these history posts because of lack of return on investment -- people just dont seem that into them. And then some people complained because they love them. So, hmmm. Perhaps we'll rejigger the concept to make them much less time consuming or chalk it up to too niche even for TFE. Anyway, one last one?

Wednesday, October 28, 2020 at 8:36AM We haven't done a tweet round up in so long! So here you go. Some showbiz-related tweets this month that amused us or made us think or were just too special in some way not to share.
Damn I hope Kevin Bacon doesn't get Covid. That contact tracing would be insane..
