Screener Watch: November 18, 2010
Tonight, we have what I like to call the “Wherever You Want It” screener. These screeners (like this one for Shutter Island) are generally retail copies but are accompanied by no “instructions” of where the publicist wants you to consider their film. So, you get to put it in whatever categories you want. But, I

Oscar Profile #12: Una O’Connor
Of all the many wonderful character actors and actresses with lengthy careers who somehow never managed to attract serious Oscar consideration, the indomitable Una O’Connor was perhaps the best. Born in 1880 in Belfast, Ireland to a Catholic nationalist family, O’Connor’s early career was as a member of Dublin’s celebrated Abbey Theatre. She appeared on

Screener Watch: November 16, 2010
Tonight, I received the promotional screener for How to Train Your Dragon. Note the packaging is rather fancy and Academy members, unless they are also members of other guilds/groups who get screeners, won’t be getting this. Academy rules strictly prohibit anything but generic packaging. It’s also one of the neatest packages I’ve received in the
