Usually at the Oscars, all four acting winners hail from films that are nominated in multiple categories. After all, the voters like what they like. But on rare occurrences, an actor prevails as the only nominee from their film. This year, many of Gold Derby’s Oscar Experts predict Andra Day will do just that. The singer-songwriter is the only representative for Hulu’s “The United States vs. Billie Holiday” — that’s right, it was even snubbed in Best Song for “Tigress & Tweed.” If Day pulls off an Oscar triumph, she’d be the first since Julianne Moore (“Still Alice”) to win for a film that was otherwise ignored.
As of this writing, 7 of our 23 Experts from major media outlets think Day will prevail: Joyce Eng (Gold Derby), Jazz Tangcay (Variety), Clayton Davis (Variety), Shawn Edwards (Wdaf-tv Fox), Keith Simanton (IMDb), Sasha Stone (Awards Daily) and Peter Travers (Rolling Stone...

Jim Jarmusch. Photo courtesy of the Lisbon Estoril Film Festival.This interview took place on an auspicious morning after the U.S. elections. The setting was placid: an oceanside terrace in the small casino town of Estoril, twenty minutes outside of Lisbon, where Jim Jarmusch was attending Paulo Branco’s Lisbon Estoril Film Festival. Despite the harrowing mood, the subject was focused and insightful, talking about his working method, collaborators, and the poetic influences and resonances for his latest film, Paterson, which opens in North America this week.Notebook: I wanted to start by talking about technical matters.Jim Jarmusch: Sure.Notebook: I’m curious…do you use a shot list?Jarmusch: No. Because, say, we go to the location, and it’s 4pm, and we’re shooting the next day at 9am… and now the light is coming from a different place, and maybe it rained overnight, and everything’s different.
