In this episode I talk about how much I love David Fincher's The Social Network, and why 2010 taught me a lot about how the Oscar work, what Best Picture means. The other film I watched and liked was The Kids Are All Right. It was also the first year I went to the Cannes Film Festival.
Here are some stories to read:
David Fincher: Through a Glass Darkly
The State of the Race: A Tale of Two Movies
Op Ed | The Oscar Movie: 1941 All Over Again?
Cannes Diary Day 1
Cannes Diary Day 2
