Helen Mirren Gets Cinematheque Love; Will ‘Godzilla’ Join Kubrick In Rare Oscar Club?; ‘Maestro’, ‘Anatomy Of A Fall’ Go Live Onstage – Notes On The Season
Notes On The Season column covers Helen Mirren American Cinematheque tribute, the connection between 'Godzilla' and Stanley Kubrick, + Maestro & Messi
In my opinion Mirren easily should have been in the actress race for her stunning portrayal of legendary Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, but alas the Spring opening and very limited campaign budget by indie Bleecker Street makes it hard to compete against particularly strong heavyweight competition this year. Others included Pierce Brosnan who made his film debut in a movie with her, Andrea Riseborough, Patrick Stewart who shared tales of their time together in the Royal Shakespeare Company, Alan Cumming, and her Fast & Furious co-hort Vin Diesel. Messi, the French Border Collie who so dramatically played family dog Snoop in the film was the only original cast member to participate in this live read following a big week where he stole the spotlight at the Oscar nominees lunch and appeared on GMA among other shows.
