yes, i've been talking to some of this year's awards contenders. lookahead 2025. pain and agony. they've dislocated the entertainment industry, including awards season.

but now all has been revealed and we have a very strong field becoming the first openly trans actor to be nominated for an academy award. starring adrien brody, critiqued the promise of the american dream. by the wizard of oz. who wrote this? he did.

welcome back, mr zakharov. i think the brutalist is a banger. it's like the most fun four hours i've had in a long time. i love anora. anora is great. i thought that the screenplay was great, the acting was terrific, the directing. it was unusual and exciting. i'd like to see emilia perez get the highest honours. i recently saw i'm still here, the brazilian film that is and it was incredible. it floored me. what a force. just here in-

the centre, please. thank you. we all have our favourites. it's a critique of the promise of the american dream, to be quite hollow. emma jones went to meet its leading man, adrien brody, these are yours? yes? that inspires the story, the brutalist takes laszlo toth, a jew who survives a new life in the usa, laterjoined by his wife erzsebet, played by felicityjones.

to live and work. i think that residing here will allow you the time because the american myth is something that, you know, is not that frequently undressed, that we have seen rehashed sort of again and again. don't let them get you alive. he's now the frontrunner for another acting oscar and pain of laszlo toth,

destined to be a supplicant i'm sorry. i got a little carried away there. there was a lot that i could relate to personally. to leave behind something of great significance with my work. of one fleeing oppression and hardship and arriving at a land with the fable of what is attainable. they do not want us here. who do you mean? the people here, they do not want us here. do you both find it interesting

in terms of, that this is, dream? oh, yeah. of course. for every one sort of lucky winner, there are 100 who don't but it's a pretty true depiction i think, as well. with four recent golden globe awards, it's now a serious contender for best picture and best director oscar. astonishing for a 36—year—old film—maker who's only made two other feature films. starring robert pattinson, looked at the roots of an imaginary fascist dictator. corbet is the architect

of a position many directors audience. i'io... there's nojob security and there are no guarantees. the envelope and make very, very progressive films, all the time. and we have to have the courage to make things that, the story of a man who is brutalised by horror in europe,

the talented cast of the vatican thriller conclave contender. the pope is dead. it is a war. and you have - to commit to a side. ralph fiennes was drawn to the work, which is based

of the man he plays. the character of lawrence, a bit uncertain about his enemy is certainty, and that doubt is the foundation i think it's quite a healthy provocation. screenplay and strong performances from an well, good afternoon, sister. tray just now. she's safe with me. i'm dealing with the situation. of the college of cardinals. the welfare of the sister is my responsibility.

it may be a thriller, a work of fiction, but isabella rossellini thinks the movie touches on issues of the real world. what is the role of women in the... yes, it is within the catholic church, but that also and the english patient. conclave. does it mean a lot to you? the real reward for the actor is getting the job.

it stayed in cinemas for quite some time, oscar—nominated pictures. selena gomez, who appears in the movie emilia perez, was mobbed at one of the film's premieres. this high—energy musical crime film has been a realfavourite alan moloney brings us more. the film follows the fallout from these events several years later. wildly in tone and genre.

into operatic song. the four women at the heart of the story were awarded a joint best actress award at last year's trail ever since. the role of emilia perez, as well as that of the male karla sofia gascon. historic nomination, expect her to be a highly you know, i think i have a lot of responsibility to represent

and in peace and in respect. despite her presence and assistance through in the trans community. it was a little bit mired in trying to subvert tropes experience. in doing that. to use non—mexican actors and shoot the film in france. and best supporting actress

favourite zoe saldana feels portrayed within the film. we touch on trans issues and mexican disappeared, for you and the cast, and jacques, as well? accurately. um, and i vacillate with respecting that, special approach to it and giving space for them community, because sometimes they may have the best story to tell. the film has been a big hit

with critics, but eclipsed somewhat in the musical stakes by wicked. but saldana is proud of what the movie has achieved, and gratefulfor any awards success that might what fills my heart with gratitude is to know that this niche of a niche of a niche film continues to reach so many people, and that people are deeply moved by it the same way it moved me. i wasn't expecting this. so if it delivers us to that stage in march, then so be it. no other land, which has been nominated for best documentary feature.

it's already won several awards at film festivals around the world. collective. no other land chronicles the efforts of the israeli military to demolish homes and evict palestinians lived on the land since childhood, are key figures in the documentary. real scenes from our daily life under occupation, and people's stories like when their home got

but it is not politically neutral. that was the aim of the israeli—palestinian film we are a collective, so it's the israelis of forced transfer. we also filmed ourselves. so the story... like, the story is also about our own activism and our own sort of, uh, coexistence and work. a palestinian and an israeli. no other land has been lauded at several top film festivals, where it's often elicited a strong emotional response. it was very painful and difficult to watch.

when i think that the criticism against israel after a little bit, uh, biased and a little bit ignorant of history. fuels a one—sided view of a problem that is complex. now that no other land has received an oscar nomination, its global profile will grow, giving the film—making the face of a black cat, which is the central character

in the animated film from latvia called flow. apocalyptic times. and best international film. this critically praised film, which has no dialogue, is set in a world of animals where humans are not present. flow is an animated film about a cat who is afraid of water, and there's a big flood that destroys the cat's animals, and they don't really get along. this is real animals behaving like animals.

film about this cat, and that's the inspiration. but then, when i made this feature version, there's a dog inspired by my own dog, so it's really a story about a character who has to learn how to work animation. the directorjust used it, it was an open—source software, and histrionic animated films that make a lot of money. for the score, the production was very modest. recognition, the picture has outdone some hollywood heavyweight animated movies. is there anything about the film that makes it distinctively latvian? well, um, this main character is a cat who's very,

and i think latvians are a bit stubborn like that. just my story. yeah, the cat's home, i think, where the story begins, it could be set in latvia, but then it goes on this crazy global adventure. it's a more complex story, but it's an inspiring work. flow has already made its mark. have found great beauty and hope. well, that brings our talking movies awards lookahead

hello. compared with some of the rather days look a good deal quieter. but a fair amount of cloud. so we've got this frontal system particularly as this ridge of high so that rain, early on across the southeast corner, it may linger for some of these eastern and southeastern coasts the best sunshine, i think, through the day will be found across the southwest of england, wales, northern ireland. temperatures around 6—10 degrees. now, during friday night we will see this zone of clear spells, but a fair bit of cloud i think

in towards northern ireland later in the night. but where we do see some clear spells, temperatures will drop to freezing or a touch below, so there could be a frost now high pressure to the east of us, frontal systems trying to push in from the west, so a lot of dry weather around on saturday, but a fair bit of england, some misty conditions for a time as well. then we will see some sunshine, but all the while out towards the west cloud will be rolling its way night and on into sunday, this weather front just weakens, just breaks apart — and so what will be left with for sunday is, yes, a band of clouds and bits and pieces of rain, but nothing too significant. and either side of that weather front — northern ireland,

and in that sunshine, temperatures like these seven, weather around once again. decent spells of sunshine.
