Burning Oscars questions heading into Venice, TIFF, and Telluride
As fall festival lineups are revealed, the awards race comes into focus. This week saw major announcements from the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, making the rest of the year for Oscar watchers a bit clearer on which movies will be vying for the top awards. But some mysteries remain. As release dates loom and Telluride remains tight-lipped as usual, a number of presumed Oscar contenders are question marks at the moment. More from Gold Derby 'Freakier Friday' director on Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan's bond on and off set and why the body-swap sequel is 'a fantasy-slash-nightmare' Remembering Ozzy Osbourne: How 'The Osbournes' made him more palatable for awards voters Here are the questions we're asking as we look ahead at the end-of-the-year film festival line-ups. Will A House of Dynamite blowup? The fall release with equal amounts of buzz and mystery surrounding it has to be Kathryn Bigelow's first film in eight years, A House of Dynamite. The movie, which stars Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, and Greta Lee, was announced by its distributor, Netflix, a little over a month ago with a teaser poster and a logline — and since then, not a peep. No trailers, no stills, nothing. But now the film has a premiere. A House of Dynamite will roll out at the Venice Film Festival. So what does the return of the first female Best Director look like? Is her next film destined for another showdown at the Oscars with ex-husband James Cameron and Avatar: Fire and Ash? Will One Battle After Another and Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere screen anywhere? Two of the big presumed players of this awards season have yet to announce festival berths. An 11-time nominee, Paul Thomas Anderson has been an automatic entry into the conversation, but he has been skipping festivals as of late. The last film of his to debut at a fest was 2014's Inherent Vice, and with One Battle After Another's Sept. 26 release date quickly approaching, a last-minute Telluride premiere looking like the only possibility. The same question applies to Scott Cooper's biopic, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, which has a bit more time to roll out thanks to a late October release date. If the inevitable Jeremy Allen White campaign for Best Actor is going to launch at a festival, Telluride is where it will start rocking. Is The Testament of Ann Lee the next Brutalist? Last year, Brady Corbet's The Brutalist came out of Venice with major awards heat. This year, that film's cowriter Mona Fastvold is looking to follow that same trajectory with The Testament of Ann Lee, a period musical shot in 70mm about the founding of the Shakers starring Amanda Seyfried that was also penned with Corbet. And like The Brutalist, The Testament of Ann Lee will be seeking a distributor at the festival. Could multiple Oscar nominations be the films' next similarity? Is Gus Van Sant back? It's been seven years since Gus Van Sant's last feature directorial effort, but you would be forgiven for thinking it had been longer. The two-time Oscar nominated director is returning to material more in the vein of 2008's Milk, his last well received film, with Dead Man's Wire, a true-crime story starring Bill Skarsgård, Dacre Montgomery, and Colman Domingo. Is Daniel Day-Lewis back-back? Another title missing from festival slates is Anemone, the feature directing debut of Ronan Day-Lewis, whose last name is not a coincidence. The project brought Ronan's dear-old dad, Daniel — missing from screens since Phantom Thread — out of retirement for a second time. But will one of the greatest actors of his generation stay back? Can Steven Soderbergh out-Soderbergh himself? Releasing two movies in a single year is old-hat for Steven Soderbergh. He's done it a few times, and in one of those cases — 2000 with Traffic and Erin Brockovich — went up against himself for Best Director (and won). With the announcement of The Christophers, starring Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel and premiering at TIFF, that will bring Soderbergh's 2025 total to three (after Presence and Black Bag). Could the Oscars bring about Soderbergh v. Soderbergh v. Soderbergh? (Almost definitely not, but it's fun to imagine.)

Playboy pinup Carmen Electra, 53, was on Baywatch and romanced Prince and Dave Navarro... see her now
Carmen Electra was the 'it' pinup girl of the 1990s. Not only was she on the Baywatch series after she was pretty much discovered by her boyfriend Prince, but she was also a nude model. The 53-year-old brunette bombshell - who was born as Tara Leigh Patrick - was posed for the cover of Playboy magazine several times after striking up a friendship with editor Hugh Hefner. Movie roles followed: Electra was in American Vampire, Good Burger, Scary Movie, and various parody films such as Date Movie and Epic Movie. She also starred in the remake of the television show Starsky & Hutch. On Tuesday the actress looked incredible at the Freakier Friday premiere held at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. Also there were Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. Electra wore a strapless ruby red sparkly mini dress with a train as she added black platform heels. Her long hair that was highlighted cascaded down her bare shoulders. Last year she was in the news for a legal matter. She filed legal documents asking for her name to be formally changed to Carmen Electra, as per TMZ. The star — who was seen holding hands with Godsmack lead signer Sully Erna, 55 — filed the paperwork on December 29, 2023, though it's unclear why she has decided to make the name change official. Electra has been going by the moniker since the early '90s, when she became a worldwide sensation thanks to Baywatch. It's not clear if the request has been granted yet, but the process usually doesn't take long. Though she has been married twice, she has never taken the last name of either of her husband. Electra was married to musician Dave Navarro from 2003 until 2007. Prior to that she wed NBA star Dennis Rodman in 1998, before their divorce the following year in 1999. The star became known as Carmen Electra during her years at Prince's Paisley Park Records in the early 90s. In 1993 she made her singing debut with her self-titled debut studio album, which would be her only one. Carmen previously reveled that Prince was the one who coined her famous moniker, after they met in 1991. 'I auditioned for an all girl group that he was putting together and he ended up signing me to his label Paisley Park,' she told The Yo Show in 2014, as per Yahoo Entertainment. 'After I danced for him he said, "You look like Electra. That should be your name."' At the time she shared that the nickname didn't stick at first. 'I thought it sounded kinda like a super hero type of name which actually it is. So I was hesitant but it just sorta grew on me and that's it. I'm Electra now,' the bombshell explained. Following the release of her record, Carmen continued on to have a successful career including a Playboy magazine cover, and numerous television and movie roles. Carmen landed her iconic Baywatch role as sexy lifeguard Lani McKenzie in 1997, which helped establish her as a sex symbol. The star left the series after one season because of her hectic schedule and her mother being ill. She later returned for the reunion movie, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding, in 2003.

Jamie Lee Curtis, 66, looks incredible in a leggy red mini dress at the world premiere of Freakier Friday in Los Angeles
Jamie Lee Curtis looked incredible as she attended the world premiere of Freakier Friday, which was held at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood on Tuesday. The actress, 66, who has reprised her role for the sequel to 2003's Freaky Friday, wore a leggy mini dress. She teamed the bright red number with a pair of nude stiletto heels and topped off her outfit with a glamorous makeup look. The anticipated movie - which is a sequel to the 2003 film - sees Lindsay Lohan and Jamie embroiled in quadruple chaos as they swap bodies again - 22 years after they first traded places. Lindsay joined Jamie on stage to speak to a crowd of excited fans during the film festivities. It's hard to believe it's been 22 years since Lindsay and Jamie portrayed Anna and Tess Coleman in Mark Waters' critically-acclaimed remake of Freaky Friday, which amassed $160.8M at the global box office. Jamie told People on Tuesday: 'I know I can trust her. I can't say that about a lot of people. I do know that if I tell her something, it's gonna stay with her. We've both been through hard things, because we're alive and life is hard. 'And we're not dead yet. So the truth of our experience together, it belies all of the kind of showbizzy stuff. We connected, and we really stayed connected. And that is special and rare for me.' The actress added: '"Safe" is a very important word to me. I have to feel safe around people. And Jamie is one of those people for me. Like, I feel very safe with you. I feel safe telling you things. So it's — I know you said "trust," but for me it's "safe."' The supernatural comedy marks Lindsay's first theatrically released leading role in 18 years after overshadowing her acting career with six court-ordered rehab stints and other Hollywood wild child antics. The anticipated movie - which is a sequel to the 2003 film - sees Lindsay and Jamie embroiled in quadruple chaos as they swap bodies again - 22 years after they first traded places. The original film followed a mother and teen daughter (played by Curtis and Lohan, respectively) who magically switch bodies after reading a cryptic fortune cookie. The follow-up film follows a similar plotline to the first movie, however, it features a huge twist involving Gen Z teenage girls that spells chaos for all involved. This time round, Lindsay's character Anna is preparing to tie the knot with to Eric Davies (Manny Jacinto), however things are proving difficult as her teenage daughter Harper (Julia Butters) despises Eric's teen girl Lily (Sophia Hammons). Meanwhile, Lindsay's paycheck for the original Freaky Friday has recently resurfaced — and fans were stunned. Despite the 2003 film's massive success, earning over $160 million on a $26 million budget, Lohan was paid just $550,000 for her starring role. It marked a turning point, though — by the time she filmed 2004's Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, her salary had nearly doubled to a reported $1 million. Last year, Lohan made a cameo appearance in the musical remake of Mean Girls, reportedly earning $500,000 for the brief role—proof she's moved past her earlier public struggles.

‘Freakier Friday' early reactions praise Disney sequel as funny, heartfelt, and family-friendly
Disney's upcoming film Freakier Friday has received strong early reactions following its first press screenings. The sequel, starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, has been praised for its emotional depth, humour, and on-screen chemistry between its leads. Entertainment journalist Jeff Conway wrote on X, 'These 22 years later, Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis haven't missed a beat. Their on-screen chemistry is truly something special. A true delight that the entire family will enjoy.' He added that the film was 'double the fun' and 'twice the heart' compared to the original. Variety's Jazz Tangcay also praised the film, calling it 'an absolute riot' and noting that she both 'laughed' and 'cried' while watching. She described it as 'a great feel-good film' and highlighted the performances from Lohan and Curtis, who she said delivered 'hilarity and emotion.' Brandon Davis added that Freakier Friday was 'silly and sometimes confusing but hilarious throughout.' He said it was 'some of the most fun I've had watching a movie this year.' Set years after the original, the sequel follows Anna, now a mother, who finds herself in a four-way body swap alongside her own mother Tess, her daughter, and future stepdaughter. The body swap forces the characters to navigate misunderstandings and strengthen their evolving relationships. The cast also includes Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. The film is based on Mary Rodgers' 1972 novel and follows the legacy of the 2003 hit.
