Oscars 2025: See The Full List Of Nominees

A few thoughts on this year’s Oscar nominations from me:

The Oscars short list was just released. (When did this become a thing?) The Academy released a list of ten to twenty or so films that are being considered in each category. So if you’re the filmmaker, you might be nominated for an Oscar, or you might just be a runner up. Much like an actor auditioning for a role, you got the audition which is an accomplishment within itself. Then you got a callback, but in the end most of you won’t get the part. And not getting that part, that nomination, that job makes you feel like a failure. You may have only come close this time, but it doesn’t mean your work was not valuable, or that your art is not important. Jerry Seinfeld has a joke in his stand up about runners in the Olympics. The guy who wins the gold medal is the greatest guy in the world, and the guy an inch behind him? You’ll never know his name. Your journey has worth, and all art is subjective. What is a winner to you, might miss the mark with someone else, and that’s okay. You will never please everybody. Period. So be proud of second, and third, and fourth place. And strive to satisfy the little creative voice in your head, because that is enough. < https://lnkd.in/ggqdFGDz> #theoscars #theoscarsshortlist

You know when people say, "It's a cliché because it's true"? Well, when it comes to Piemonte, we can't deny this great truth: the only thing missing is the sea. Beyond the clichés, let's explain why this statement holds water. The diverse landscape of Piemonte is a huge asset for tourism and an invaluable resource for the Italian and international film industry. It's rare to find, within a few kilometers, what Piedmont has to offer. That's why at FCTP, with a touch of irony that anyone in the film industry – an industry that's both business and art – can appreciate, we often say it, especially when we're abroad, attending the world's top film festivals to represent the region and promote its position as a premier film destination: all we lack is the sea.

*** Cannes 2024: The Power of Incentives and the Influence of the Majority *** In 2002, India celebrated 100 years of cinema at Cannes, but Cannes Director Thierry Fremaux faced backlash for selecting Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Devdas" for one of the festival's screenings. Critics argued the film's commercial and mediocre nature clashed with Cannes' artistic tradition, suggesting it was selected by Fremaux due to the influence of prominent Indian commercial filmmakers. It's 2024, Cannes has transformed, driven by powerful incentives. Official sponsors like Brut and TikTok now promote influencers with little connection to filmmaking, drawing vast audiences for them and attempting to maximizing their business profits. Similarly, L’Oréal and other cosmetic brands highlight their ambassadors, often overshadowing the festival’s focus on cinema. When popular demand dictates, those in control often cater to these preferences, regardless of their impact on quality or tradition. The profound influence of the majority, even if or especially uninformed, shapes both political and economic landscapes. For investors, the lessons from Cannes are revealing. The saying "whose bread I eat, whose song I sing" underscores the importance of understanding the motivations of key players. Major investors can shift a company’s direction to meet new objectives, driven by their own incentives. Who suffers in this transition? There is a stark conflict between maintaining reputation and succumbing to incentives. This conflict is not unique to Cannes; it reflects a universal struggle. In the case of Cannes, we can still assume the key decision-makers understand what they are doing. It's more concerning when decision-makers in other settings are incapable and unaware of how they are dancing to the tune of incentives. #cannes2024 #incentives #Behavioraleconomics #cannesfilmfestival
