As a flurry of guild nominations land, Mia, Brian and Gemma discuss their fave noms and gongs from the directors’, art directors’ and cinematographers’ unions. A quick look at the Golden Globes leads to a discussion on which awards Letterboxd would love to live-stream. EE BAFTA Rising Star award public voting is open!
And it’s animation time: Turning Red director Domee Shi has a message for the Letterboxd community, and we go deep on Akira Kurosawa, Ingmar Bergman and Sergio Leone with Puss in Boots: The Last Wish director Joel Crawford. Then, we re-evaluate the 1976 Best Director Oscar lineup according to how the Letterboxd community distributes their hearts, and find out why Brian has put forward Marcel the Shell director-star Dean Fleischer Camp as this week’s Player of the Season nominee. Bienvenido, mi casa es su casa, as our amigo Puss would say!
