Toni Collette Snubbed, ‘A Quiet Place’ Receives Oscar Nomination for Best Sound Editing
The 91st Oscar nominations were announced early Tuesday morning. It comes with great sorrow to tell you all that Toni Collette was snubbed for a “Lead Actress” nomination for her extraordinary work in A24’s Hereditary, directed by Ari Aster. While the film may be divisive among fans, let’s at least take the time to appreciate Collette’s outstanding performance that should be celebrated among the greatest films of all time. She should be out there representing our genre, which is once again ignored by the film elite. This is one of the most vicious snubs in recent memory.
At least one genre film snuck its way into next month’s ceremony as Paramount Pictures’ A Quiet Place, directed by John Krasinski, received an Oscar nomination for “Best Sound Editing” and will go up against Black Panther, Bohemian Rhapsody, First Man, and ROMA. I think the gimmick alone gives it the edge over its competition.
The Academy Awards will air live Feb. 24 at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on ABC. I won’t be watching.
Keith C. Blackmore’s book series Mountain Man is headed to the screen, with Deadline reporting today that Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”) is on board to star in the film adaptation.
The actor will also produce the upcoming zombie movie.
“Mountain Man tells the story of Gus, a lonely post-apocalyptic survivor facing isolation and the ever-present specter of a zombie attack, who struggles with alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts until he discovers another survivor, a captivating woman who poses another threat altogether.”
John Lee (False Positive) will direct Mountain Man from a script by Matt Deller.
“John is a brilliant creative mind. We’ve been looking for the right thing to do together since we filmed Pee Wee’s Big Holiday and it’s finally here,” 3:59’s Joe and Nick Manganiello told Deadline. “Very excited to get to work on such weird, wild project with him.”
Film Bridge International is launching sales on the project in Cannes.
Blackmore’s Mountain Man series features 7 books, the first one published in 2011.
