The Film Experience was created by Nathaniel R. Gemini, Cinephile, Actressexual. All material herein is written by Nathaniel or a member of our team as noted.

Your suscription dimes make an enormous difference. Consider... by Nathaniel Rone of many titles that's eligible for the Globes but not the OscarsWhile we've never extensively covered the Golden Globes selection process it's worth noting that one of the categories where they historically definitely go their own way is in Best International Feature.DIFFERENCES: Their aesthetic taste is different than Oscar voters but, more than that, they also have different rules.First,their own eligibility listis quite different and historically larger. Oscar only allows each country to submit one film (a system surely set in place to prevent France and Italy from hogging 100% of the nominations in the early years) but the Globes don't have that restriction so we've had years where they've honored more than one film from a single country. France, for instance, sent all of their Oscar submission finalists this year to the Globes. The Globes also don't get hung up on eligibility when it comes to international productions where many countries are involved as Oscar sometimes has. They also allow films from the United States to compete if they're not in the English language (so Minari and I Carry You With Me both have a shot at a nomination this year). There's one final difference: the Globes do not allow documentaries and animated films to compete in this category.SIMILARITIES: Otherwise the rules are the same (eligibility window and no more than 50% in English) and a good chunk of the titles on Oscar's eligibility list are usually also sent to the Globes.Here are the titles that differ from Oscar's list...

To be frank, I found the 19th century seaside lesbian paleontology drama to be a bit dull, throwing quite a bit of symbolism up on the screen without ever making a real case that this director needed to make this film about these women.But I did quite enjoy the sheer number of visual cues, some of which do work quite well. Victorian women, the film suggests, were like fossils. Society confined them to small, dim spaces where they slowly ossified...

New York Times Agents, stars, and production companies are pissed at Warner Bros for their HBO Max same day as theatrical plans... which they apparently announced without warning any of their financial partners who will likely lose millions as a result. Ouch TFE in case you missed my despondency when the Warner Bros plan was announced Daily Beast Steven Soderbergh interview on why he's working with HBOMax and his chemistry with Meryl Streep and his new film Let Them All TalkMore after the jump including Gucci, Spider-Man 3, Oscar Producers, and Top Ten List season... Click to read more ... Just a question I've been thinking of today for no apparent reason. What's a movie you think is vastly underrated that also happens to be respected / famous? Usually respected and famous things aren't exactly "underappreciated", you know? I'll give you four examples off the top of my head that I would use to answer this question in that I think they're genuinely great movies, in addition to being whatever else they happen to be. Bob Carol Ted Alice (Paul Mazursky, 1969) Silkwood (Mike Nichols, 1983) Marie Antoinette (Sofia Coppola, 2006) Magic Mike (Steven Sodebergh, 2012)What's your answer? Just a heads up that we forgot to mention. The deadline for countries to submit to the Oscars for Best International Feature Film passed on December 1st (the deadline is usually October 1st but they had two extra months this year due to COVID-19). All told 89 submissions have been announced (all accounted for on our Oscar charts) so we probably won't have a record breaking amount of titles. That said, 89 is a fluid number. The final "official" list generally includes a title or two that hadn't been announced previously and generally one or two of the ones that were announced are absent for vague reasons. All in all the list is made up of 33% debut filmmakers and 34% female directors so it's a "fresh voices" year. Only eight countries sent filmmakers who've already been nominated or who've made the finals. I'm on pins and needles to dive deeper into stats as I suspect the Academy will announce the full list very soon.While we wait for the Official List we'll be sprucing up the other Oscar charts :) which we know need updates.UPDATE: And here's the Golden Globes list of international hopefuls. Historically they have a different list than Oscar and also allow for more than one movie per country. Adapted from J.D. Vance s controversial memoir about his family in the Appalachians, Hillbilly Elegyopened to harshly negative reviews from critics, but the film is not really out of the awards conversation. What was seemingly a slam dunk Oscar contender given the pedigree of its cast is now caught in the critics/audience divide, something that has become a commonality these past few years (Green Book, Bohemian Rhapsody, Joker, etc). Just look at the critics and audience scores the film got in Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic.ROTTENTOMATOES:Tomatometer: 26% / Audience Score: 85%METACRITIC Metascore: 39 (generally unfavorable) / User Score: 7.9 (generally favorable)The most significant Oscar push for the film will undoubtedly be seven-time oscar nominee Glenn Close for Best Supporting Actress. She plays Mamaw, J.D. s grandmother and de facto guardian when his mother Bev (Amy Adams) spirals into heroin addiction. This role comes after a surprising Best Actress loss at the 91st Academy Awards for her performance in The Wife.Absurdly overdue for a win, Close came to this particular Supporting Actress race as a preordained frontrunner. However, the dismal critical reception of the film immediately cast doubt on her chances. Some now feel she won't be nominated at all. Or, that she doesn't deserve to be which is unfair on Close s part, in my humble opinion... Click to read more ...
