Far and away my favorite look of the night. Mostly because it’s giving the green dress from Atonement with some modern flourishes

Fellow cinephiles who’ve seen Marty Supreme — is this an acceptable movie to take your mom to over the holidays or will she be traumatized/hate it?

Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson chase a dream in 'Song Sung Blue,' the year's stealth Oscar contender Based on the ups and downs of a real-life Neil Diamond tribute act, the movie, directed by Craig Brewer, required charm, realness and vocal firepower to spare.

Thrilled to see Harrison Ford got a nomination, gutted that Diego Luna, Genevieve O'Reilly, Denise Gough, etc. from Andor didn't get nods for their incredible work. #emmys
