A Notes On The Season column looks at race to get movies seen , Golden Globe first-timer luncheon; Guillermo del Toro moderating Q&As; Jeremy Strong

One major contender who has been the beneficiary of this kind of colleague admiration is Jeremy Strong who has been lauded for his performance as Roy Cohn in the Donald Trump origin story, The Apprentice ever since it premiered in Cannes in May before traveling the rocky road to getting a distributor willing to release it in a Trumpified election season. It is a chilling story, and a remarkable turn by Strong, and certainly recognized by those in the business who have either hosted or moderated screenings for him including Tobias Lindholm, Robert Downey Jr. , Ron Howard, Bennett Miller, Sean Penn, screenwriter Josh Singer, James Gray, Aaron Sorkin, and Billy Ray among others who have offered support. This guy is suddenly everywhere doing interviews this Oscar season having done honors with filmmakers for Better Man, Memoir Of A Snail, The Substance, Nosferatu, I’m Still Here, Emilia Perez, and even starting back in August with a pre-Emmy screening of True Detective: Night Country.
