‘Saturday Night’ May Score a Best Picture Invitation to Oscar Sunday


Jason Reitman's "Saturday Night" is a best picture nomination worthy contender after premiering at Telluride.

Directed by Reitman, who introduced the film along with former “SNL” cast member Bill Murray, it’s set in 1975 and chronicles the 90 minutes leading up to the premiere of NBC’s long-running sketch show, “Saturday Night Live.” Additionally, Cory Michael Smith’s sarcastic and ego-driven Chevy Chase garnered plenty of laughs, while Dylan O’Brien’s short-shorts-wearing Dan Aykroyd provided several memorable moments. Even if you’ve never seen an episode or stopped watching several seasons ago, Reitman and his actors provide a window into the lives of a group of artists who left an indelible mark on television and changed comedy.
