Good Thursday to All...
"ANOMALISA" TRAILER
A lot of fanfare occurred this week with the release of a trailer for Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson's stop motion animated "Anomalisa" which was a big hit among the Professionals at Telluride according to their responses to my informal survey posted last month. Check the trailer here and a number of stories that announced its release below:

OSCAR MATTERS: THE GURUS SPEAK
Movie City News has their first installment of The Gurus of Gold posted for the 2015-16 Oscar campaign. The first pass includes Best Picture, Director and all four Acting categories. Of interest to Telluride aficionados might be the following about TFF #42 films from the various categories:
Best Picture: "Spotlight" at #1 (barely edging "The Martian"), "Room" at #3, "Steve Jobs" at #8 and "Carol" at #9. "Son of Saul" is at the #13 spot and "Beasts of No Nation' and "45 Years" each had a vote from the Gurus.
Best Direction: McCarthy/"Spotlight" #1, Haynes/"Carol" #7, Boyle/"Jobs" #8, Abrahamson/"Room" #9 and Nemes/"Saul" #10
Best Actress: Larson/"Room" #1, Blanchett/"Carol" #3, Mulligan/"Suffragette" #5, Rampling/"45 Years" #7.
Best Actor: Fassbender/"Jobs" #1, Depp/"Black Mass" #6. Geza Rohrig from "Son of Saul" gets a vote.
Best Supporting Actress: Mara/"Carol" #1, Winslet/"Jobs" #3, Allen/"Room" #6, McAdams/"Spotlight" #8. Juliette Nicholson from "Black Mass" gets a vote.
Best Supporting Actor: Keaton/"Spotlight" #2, Ruffalo/"Spotlight" #3, Elba/"Beasts" #5, Tremblay/"Room" #8 and Edgerton/"Black Mass #10.
If the Gurus are 100% accurate (and there are nine Best Picture nominations) then Telluride 2015 films will earn 14 nominations from these five categories.
