Love you, Toups.

To start, the major CANNES winners from May!

Palme d'Or: Winter Sleep (Nuri Bilge Ceylan)

Grand Prix: The Wonders (Alice Rohrwacher)

Jury Prize: TIE; Mommy (Xavier Dolan) & Goodbye to Language (Jean Luc Godard)

Director: Bennett Miller (Foxcatcher)

Screenplay: Andrey Zvyagintsev & Oleg Negin (Leviathan)

Actor: Timothy Spall (Mr. Turner)

Actress: Julianne Moore (Maps to the Stars)

The Toronto International Film Festival ends tomorrow, so their awards will be posted in the next couple days.

I was so happy to see Julianne Moore get recognized at Cannes. She always comes out like a bridesmaid at the major awards so to see her finally win a big one was awesome. And my love for Xavier Dolan knows no bounds, so him pulling out the Jury Prize, when he was in such an underrated position to do so, was inspiring.

I thought it looked like a huge snooze alert. She'll probably lazily get another nomination, definitely of a Golden Globe at least, this one undeserved. Plus, Bradley Cooper does not work in that role at all. Of course, I only formed my opinion from the trailer alone, so I reserve the right to change my mind if need be.

Bright Eyes - the trailer was a little boring, however, I doubt the movie will be. Have you read the book? Serena is literally one of the most evil/deranged characters out there. Not sure why the trailer downplayed that (probably to try to convince audiences this is another Bradly/JLaw "love affair" story), but if the script is halfway decent, JLaw will earn that Oscar nom. Serena is a great character.

Deauville doesn't give a strong glimpse for Best Picture at the Oscars, but it does further the acclaim for Whiplash, which also won big at Sundance and helps Miles Teller's chances of being nominated. Some are saying JK Simmons could land himself a supporting nomination as well. At the very least, you'll probably see Whiplash garner some Independent Spirit Award nominations.

Deauville Film Festival - http://www.festival-deauville.com/DEV/index.php?pid=79

Grand Prize: Whiplash

Jury Prize: The Good Lie

The International Critics Award went to David Robert Mitchell's It Follows, who has ATWT alum Jake Weary (Kim Zimmer's son) amongst its cast. (P.S. These awards were given out about the same time as TIFF.)

The 18th Hollywood Awards aired Friday night. A full list of winners - http://www.hollywoodawards.com/winners/

Film: Gone Girl

Director: Morten Tyldum (The Imitation Game)

Actor: Benedict Cumberbatch (The Imitation Game)

Actress: Julianne Moore (Still Alice)

Supporting Actor: Robert Duvall (The Judge)

Supporting Actress: Keira Knightley (The Imitation Game)

The Skins fan in me is ecstatic that Jack O'Connell is really making a name for himself. It's so great to see a favourite actor rise and rise.

They gave Eddie Redmayne the breakthrough actor award, so it seems he and Cumberbatch are the biggest obstacles to winning an Oscar in the best actor category.

Please, for the love of God, let this be Julianne Moore's year. I am hoping so hard.

    • I hope they give him more to do than just be a prick as you say. I can see how viewers would like him because the actor is so charming despite the character being such an absolute pain.    I would agree. And there was also the undercurrent of Raven and Draper sort of flirting with each other. The actors play that attraction and it worked so well in that scene. 
    • Daniel Cosgrove is PERFECT as the sleezy politician. This might be my favorite role of his. All of these people keeping Kristina’s secret is so annoying. I really want her to pay.
    • What did happen to Beth between 86 and 89? Did she have amnesia?
    • I actually thought he came off as younger. It's so hard to buy Martin as Nicole and Ted's son unless they had him when they were 12.
    • @chrisml Isn't remarkable that, on a soap whose brand is built on twists and mysteries, that Raven's last straw was as simple as Logan saying that she was incapable of loving Jamey.  In the episode when Raven exit's and leaves Jamey with April, I can remember feeling the subtext that Raven is also trying to talk herself into leaving him behind.  There's so much in that little scene.  She's trying to stick it to Logan for saying she was a bad mother.  She's both granting April's wish, and damning her with the old adage of being careful what she wished for.  And, she's hinting to Draper that she's going to boff his father. It remains my favorite scene, and it still blows my mind that was not the end of that episode.  
    • Oh lord not Drew just figured out it was both Nina and Portia that set him up. Willow WILL never leave this man. Ric taking the case purely just to spite Sonny is [!@#$%^&*].ing hilarious.
    • And in addition to Patti being de-aged, she was no longer a nurse, divorced from Len(fair enough) and her two children were not seen and barely mentioned. So basically she was a totally new character. For newer viewers it didn't matter but any loyal viewers would have been wondering about all the changes with Patti. Sarah Whiting always puzzled me. The writers finally decide to acknowledge Jo's family and do so by making up a never mentioned adopted teen. Why not just bring in Tracey, Jo's actual grandaughter? As for Liza, perhaps it would have been wise to rest the character when Sherry left. They were big shoes to fill and her Liza was so identified with Travis. I don't recall what was going on in the story at that time but if they knew Sherry was leaving, write it so Liza would leave town to care for an ailing Janet and take a breather with the character for a few months.
    • Ahh interesting. Yeah, that's sad for A-M. I will say, he and Nick became fast friends when Susan started working at Spaulding. A-M/Lucy/Nick/Susan had a lot of double dates in those 7 months. A-M was Nick's best man at his wedding to Susan, which now that I think about it, is odd that he wouldn't have considered Fletcher. I remember those two were so close at the paper, and even living together with Ben. Once Tangie left SF, Nick left the paper, and Fletcher/Holly were rarely seen... so I guess they felt that friendship wasn't shown often enough anymore (which again, lazy writing).
    • I honestly don't think Alan-Michael ever really had a friend on the show. Maybe Cameron or Samantha, but otherwise... *Cameron was a high school friend who ended up dating teenage Dinah after she broke up with A-M. Samantha is Phillip's biological sister, who A-M treated like a sister. Interestingly enough, they were born the same week on the show in 1981, but A-M ends up being older than her when she returns to town in '89.
    • I thought he was very cute too, and a likeable presence even though on paper Cliff was a prick. I wonder if he was well-liked by viewers or someone at the show as there's a point in these episodes where he could have been written out and was not.
