2016 Oscars Challenge: [6] “Room” – Best Directing
LENNY ABRAHAMSON “Room” The only other thing I know Lenny Abrahamson from is directing the small comedy “Frank” starring Michael Fassbender and Domhnall Gleeson back in 2014. Other than that, he’s been mostly off the radar.

For too long, it feels like films are made to either be Oscar bait or not. And when the Academy extended Best Picture to possibly 10, they did so to integrate other worthy films. Now … Read More Oscars Watch: 2015 Southeastern Film Critics Association Awards

The Golden Globe nominations are out and there are no huge surprises here. The thing about the Golden Globes is that the Hollywood Foreign Press has so many categories that it’s as if no one gets left behind, which is a good case for why no more of the Academy’s categories need to be expanded. That’s why you get films like “Spy” and “Trainwreck” … Read More Oscars Watch: 73rd Annual Golden Globe Nominees
