As one of the producers of the 93rd Academy Awards, Steven Soderbergh took some big swings. Last—but certainly not least, in controversy—was the decision to switch up the order in which awards were presented, with Best Picture coming before the Lead Actor categories.
In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Soderbergh gave his thoughts on how that played out, noting that he had had this structure for the show in mind months before the nominations were announced.
“We talked about that in January. It’s our belief — that I think is not unfounded — that actors’ speeches tend to be more dramatic than producers’ speeches,” said Soderbergh. “And so we thought it might be fun to mix it up, especially if people didn’t know that was coming. So that was always part of the plan.”

This Tuesday on The Flash (The CW, 8/7c), the trial of “Killer” Frost gets underway, now that Kristin Kramer from the Governor’s Municipal Logistics Commission has cuffed up the once-malevolent meta.
Who will step up to vouch for Frost? And could it be that any number of character witnesses not be enough to secure a “happy ending” for the reformed meta?

If the best films of 2019 have anything in common, it’s that they each feel somehow emblematic of the decade that they closed. Following on the heels of “Silence” and “The Wolf of Wall Street,” Martin Scorsese delivered another morally ambiguous period epic about the weight of our sins. Less than three years after looking for “The Lost City of Z,” James Gray shot the moon with “Ad Astra,” his greatest movie about the search for a mythic place to make us whole.
After establishing her extraordinary talents with the likes of “Tomboy” and “Girlhood,” “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” auteur Céline Sciamma rocked Cannes with her most shattering tale of love and loss and self-discovery, and capped off a remarkable decade of gay screen romances in the process. Bong Joon Ho, never capitalism’s biggest cheerleader, weaponized his usual proclivities in a way that saw him become a genre unto himself.
