Penelope Cruz will be honored at this year’s Gotham Awards. Details at the FILMMAKER Blog, where Scott Macaulay also points to an appreciation of Manny Farber written by his former student, filmmaker Barbara Schock.
Meanwhile, everyone thinks she’s got the Best Supporting Actress Oscar race locked up for her work in Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Even Lawrence Levi, who writes the film itself off as “as blinkered and lazy as the ‘90s films I got sick of,” admits that Cruz and Javier Bardem are “staggeringly funny and sexy” in it.
Speaking of “too soon!” Oscar predictions: Can Robert Downey Jr win a nomination by acting in a movie about actors who are whores for Oscar nominations?
