It’s not all “Gucci” at the 2022 Oscars.
While the Ridley Scott film is nominated for Best Makeup and Hairstyling at the 94th Academy Awards, the Adam Driver and Lady Gaga–led biopic was shut out of all acting categories, even after picking up nominations at the BAFTAs and SAG Awards for Gaga and supporting star Jared Leto. Gaga also was nominated for a Golden Globe and won the NYFCC Best Actress award.
Now, Leto is breaking his silence on the Oscars snub, calling Gaga’s lack of a nomination a “shock and a surprise” in a Variety cover story.
Leto added, “By the way, she should get an invite to every Oscars, just to have her there. She’s an amazing artist [who does] such brave work. She should be celebrated for everything in my book.”

“What I love to do is go to the video and look at the comments,” acclaimed songwriter Diane Warren admits about reading feedback about her songs on social media. “The comments are mind-blowing,” she exclaims.
“There’s a lot of comments,” she says, from people at “the end of their rope, where the song gave them hope and made them stronger. There’s thousands and thousands,” she sighs. “One night I just stayed up almost all night, reading them and I was crying. The fact that I wrote the song for this movie, sitting in my room and somehow it got through to people going through a hard time, it’s just crazy.”
We talked with Warren as part of Gold Derby’s special film songwriters “Meet the Experts” Q&a event with key Oscar contenders. Watch our exclusive video interview above.

The Howl of the Devil

Rape-revenge never looked so gorgeous in Promising Young Woman. Bright colors, exquisite clothes, and Carey Mulligan’s beautiful face light up the screen even when the film is at its darkest. This is a very modern and very female take on that particular sub-genre for a post- #MeToo world and it’s one of the most compelling films of the year – one which is bound to provoke much discussion after the credits roll.
This is the directorial debut of Emerald Fennell, writer and showrunner on Killing Eve season 2who is also known for portraying Camilla Parker Bowles in The Crown. And what a confident debut it is, a film with a distinct visual style and an equally distinct soundtrack with big things to say and an excellent cast to help her say them with nuance and humor. It comes from Margot Robbie’s production company LuckyChap Entertainment, which also produced this years’ Birds of Prey,...

“This is not just our film. This is Drew’s film and the other survivors as well. They take us into this experience,” says Kirby Dick about “On the Record,” the documentary he directed with his filmmaking partner Amy Ziering. It’s their latest film to explore the subject of rape culture in America — in this case the story of Drew Dixon, a music executive who, along with many other women, came forward with allegations of sexual harassment and assault against hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons. Dick and Ziering joined us for our “Meet the Experts” documentary panel. Watch our interview with them above.
Dick and Ziering previously made “The Invisible War” (2012), an Oscar-nominated investigation into the epidemic of rape in the US military. A few years later they released “The Hunting Ground” (2015), which explored the prevalence of rape on college campuses. Tragically, there is still no shortage of stories about...
