This Thursday, I will be flying out to Telluride for the first legit stop on the slow train to Oscar in this 2012/2013 season. The fest will run from Friday through Monday and I’ll be back by Tuesday. I will be taking pictures of the place and writing up film reviews, possibly some interviews and tweeting from @awardsdaily a lot.
The rumblings about the titles was discussed on the latest Oscar Poker. Essentially, the Telluride lineup has not yet been fully announced — and that happens on Thursday as well.
Last year, The Descendants was really the big get, but The Artist playing on the outdoor theater screen was still the movie almost everyone was talking about. The talk started in Cannes and didn’t stop until the film won Best Picture. Our Best Picture for this year is still hidden. Will it pop up in Telluride or Toronto? Or will it reveal itself later in the year?
