Herbert’s strongest work comes via his explanation for the physical layout of various stores and how each utilizes the space in order to cater to a specific type of consumer.
This year’s crop of Original Score nominees hits all the markers that we’ve come to expect.
This is the first film year in a long while that’s made me want to applaud Harvey Weinstein.
Typically, there’s at least one Oscar-nominated score that stands out as unique, with memorable flourishes that push it ahead as the frontrunner.
Throughout, Michell and screenwriter Richard Nelson keep you at arm’s length from Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Sometimes it’s hard to separate a movie from the hype.
Unwieldiness seems to follow Madonna’s W.E. wherever it goes.
It’s ironic that the talking-heads interviews in Alex Stapleton’s documentary feel so self-conscious.

Six. That’s the number of times the DGA winner has failed to win the Oscar. Advantage: Tom Hooper. Two thousand and three.
And so it is that Oscar bloggers, seeking to itch the scratch Leo’s blatant assertion that campaigning, not prognosticating, is what wins Oscars, have collectively shifted the balance of power back to the plucky 14-year-old girl who tore through every scene (every. scene.)
