The post 2022 BAFTAs: “The Power of the Dog” and “Dune” Come Out Victorious appeared first on Entertainment For Us.
]]>Belfast, Dune, Don’t Look Up, and Licorice Pizza were also in the running for the biggest award of the night, but they couldn’t stand their ground to Jane Campion’s western drama. She also collected the award for the best director, becoming only the third woman in history to do so.
Dune was one of the front-runners at this year’s BAFTAs after topping the list of nominees with 11 nods. It managed to win five of the awards it was nominated for in the craft categories, including best cinematography, production design, special visual effects, sound, and original score.
When it comes to the acting categories, Will Smith cemented his status as the front-runner for best actor after winning another award for King Richard. The best actress category didn’t give us a lot of insight into the future Oscar winner, because it went to the underdog Joanna Scanlan for After Love.
The 75th British Academy Film Awards took place on March 13th at the Royal Albert Hall in London, with Rebel Wilson hosting the ceremony.

]]>The Power of the Dog came into the night as one of the front-runners and managed to win three awards out of seven nominations. In addition to best motion picture — drama, it also won accolades for best director (Jane Campion) and best-supporting actor (Kodi Smit-McPhee).
Steven Spielberg’s remake of West Side Story was equally successful in the comedy or musical field. It won the award for the best motion picture – musical or comedy, while its breakout stars Rachel Zegler and Ariana DeBose both walked away with acting awards.
It was also a big night for Succession, which topped the list of nominations with five nods and eventually won three awards – best drama series, best actor in a drama series (Jeremy Strong), and best-supporting actress in a series (Sarah Snook).
The Golden Globes took place at the Beverly Hilton on January 9th, without a live broadcast or any nominees in attendance.

The post 2022 Golden Globes: “Belfast” and “The Power of the Dog” Among Top Contenders appeared first on Entertainment For Us.
]]>The post Benedict Cumberbatch & Elisabeth Moss to Star in “The Power of the Dog” appeared first on Entertainment For Us.
]]>The feature adaptation from helmer Jane Campion is based on Thomas Savage’s 1967 novel that tells the story of brothers Phil (Cumberbatch) and George Burbank. The two are joint owners of the biggest ranch in their Montana valley. When George secretly marries local widow Rose (Moss), an angry Phil wages a relentless war to destroy her by using her son Peter as a pawn.
“The Power of the Dog is a sublime novel that deserves a life on the big screen. I couldn’t stop thinking about the story, it really haunted me. The themes of masculinity, nostalgia and betrayal are an intoxicating mix,” Campion said. “It’s also rare to find a story where the themes, the plot and the characters build tension as they reveal each other and even the end is satisfying and unexpected. It will be the first time I’ve worked with a male lead, which is exciting. Phil is a charismatic and complex character who declares war on his brother’s new wife and her teenage son.”
The film is set to go into pre-production at the end of the year.
It will be presented to buyers at Cannes via Cross City Films.

]]>The Power of the Dog came into the night as one of the front-runners and managed to win three awards out of seven nominations. In addition to best motion picture — drama, it also won accolades for best director (Jane Campion) and best-supporting actor (Kodi Smit-McPhee).
Steven Spielberg’s remake of West Side Story was equally successful in the comedy or musical field. It won the award for the best motion picture – musical or comedy, while its breakout stars Rachel Zegler and Ariana DeBose both walked away with acting awards.
It was also a big night for Succession, which topped the list of nominations with five nods and eventually won three awards – best drama series, best actor in a drama series (Jeremy Strong), and best-supporting actress in a series (Sarah Snook).
The Golden Globes took place at the Beverly Hilton on January 9th, without a live broadcast or any nominees in attendance.

]]>Both movies received a total of seven nods, including the best motion picture – drama. They’ll have to beat CODA, King Richard, and Dune to walk away with this trophy. Belfast and The Power of the Dog will also be competing against each other in several other categories, including best director and best screenplay.
The comedy/musical field is also pretty crowded this year, and it’s led by Don’t Look Up and West Side Story with five nominations each. They’ll be competing against Cyrano, Licorice Pizza, and Tick Tick Boom for the best motion picture – comedy or musical.
The television side also features a long list of worthy contenders that go a long way with the Golden Globes. Succession topped the list of nominees with five nominations, closely followed by The Morning Show with four. Ted Lasso is leading the comedy field with four nods, but it will have to defeat The Great, Hacks, and Only Murders in the Building with three nominations each.

]]>The feature adaptation from helmer Jane Campion is based on Thomas Savage’s 1967 novel that tells the story of brothers Phil (Cumberbatch) and George Burbank. The two are joint owners of the biggest ranch in their Montana valley. When George secretly marries local widow Rose (Moss), an angry Phil wages a relentless war to destroy her by using her son Peter as a pawn.
“The Power of the Dog is a sublime novel that deserves a life on the big screen. I couldn’t stop thinking about the story, it really haunted me. The themes of masculinity, nostalgia and betrayal are an intoxicating mix,” Campion said. “It’s also rare to find a story where the themes, the plot and the characters build tension as they reveal each other and even the end is satisfying and unexpected. It will be the first time I’ve worked with a male lead, which is exciting. Phil is a charismatic and complex character who declares war on his brother’s new wife and her teenage son.”
The film is set to go into pre-production at the end of the year.
It will be presented to buyers at Cannes via Cross City Films.
