"It happened last year for Cate Blanchett. The actress starred in a biopic that critics ripped to shreds, a film that basically bombed at the (American) box office, and yet she managed to score a Best Actress nomination for her reprised performance as the titular monarch of Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Additionally, Blanchett earned another nomination for Best Supporting Actress the same year, for her portrayal of Bob Dylan in I’m Not There. Now Josh Brolin could achieve a similar feat this year, not just by earning separate nominations for playing the titular president of W. and portraying politician-turned-assassin Dan White in Milk, but also by overcoming the difficulty of earning recognition in a lead category for a film that otherwise is not very well regarded. Are Brolin’s hurdles higher than Blanchett’s, though? With all the praise he’s rece "

"The Toronto International Film Festival begins on September 6, and is currently scheduled to showcase 349 films through September 15. I’m only going to be in town for four days, so I’ve combed the schedule and picked out 15 films that I’m going to make an attempt to see during that time. I’ve purposely left films that are going to be at the New York Film Festival off this list; hopefully, I’ll be able to scratch off one or two at Telluride as well. If there’s anything I’ve glaringly missed, let me know in the comments. In alphabetical order: Across the Universe (dir. Julie Taymor, starring Evan Rachel Wood) Which version of Taymor’s long-troubled psychedelic musical romance based on the songs of The Beatles will Toronto audiences see? There’s still no running time listed on the film’s IMDb profile, which could mean that Sony hasn’t figured that out yet.

"Elizabeth (1998), upon second viewing, is every bit as good as it was several years ago when I first saw it. The story of Elizabeth I of England depends on wonderful acting. While we know the outcome (so there is really no suspense) and we see little of the country or the commoners (so there is little lush scenery or interesting social history), we see acting so good that we can easily believe we are there. Cate Blanchett is complex as the queen who is growing up; her love affair with Lord Robert Dudley (Joseph Fiennes) is intense and believable. Right from these stars down to two ladies in waiting (Emily Mortimer and Kelly MacDonald), the acting is first rate, with ne’er a false step to shatter the spell of being transported to the political intrigue of the 1500s.
